Founder of the Evangelical Church of Yahweh, Primate Theophilus Olabayo, has called for more support for motherless babies, old people and all underprivileged persons across the country as he joins the septuagenarian
Olabayo made this call in Lagos at the weekend as preparations towards his 70th birthday celebrations gathers steam for February 24 in Lagos.
According to the respected cleric, it was only when people in this category had enough care that the society’s mind could be at rest. "We have to show more care and love to the less privileged ones among us because it is in so doing that we can win the heart of God as a nation."
He said: "I have decided to spend the occasion of my birthday this year which comes up on the February 24 to visit the motherless babies’ home in Anthony Village and also the old people’s home in Yaba, both in Lagos. It will give me more joy to see these people smile as many of them deserve to be happy as well.”
Olabayo, noted for his prophesies, also called for peaceful coexistence among adherents of all faiths, insisting that it is only under such atmosphere that progress can come to the nation.
The cleric, as parts of his birthday celebration, will be honoured by notable academics like the Vice Chancellor of Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo State, Prof. Dapo Asaju, and a former Vice Chancellor, Joseph Ayo Babalola University, Prof. Christopher Oshun, who are expected to deliver lectures highlighting Olabayo’s contributions to national development during a colloquium in Lagos.
