Rev Adewuyi as a prince is a member of the Oshinkola Ruling House (one of the four ruling houses) in Ile-Ife. He is the second child in the family. He was raised by his grandmother in Ile-Ife, who inculcated the virtues of Christian life into him via the early morning prayers which he attended with her at Salvation Army Church, Ile-Ife. It was there that he took special interest in men wearing white naval uniforms which later motivated him in life to be enlisted as a Marine Chaplain.
