== Maria Mojirola Jolayemi == Prophetess (Dr) Maria Mojirola Jolayemi was a devoted Christian mother, founder, front line, prophetess, missionary and prayer consultant. She was a loving and caring mother who believed in God’s possibilities. She had been a vessel in the hands of the Lord over the past many decades. She lived for more than a century but due to non-availability of the proper record of the exact date of her birth, her age could only be put at 116 years at the time of her death which is more likely to be more than that. She was born in Gbongan and brought up in Ode-Omu. She did not have the opportunity of western education but completed elementary school in Ode-Omu. Her father, Pa. Olabiyi, who was a devoted Christian, took her up by teaching her how to read and write in Yoruba. Thus, provided an invaluable opportunity for her to read Bible and Hymns.
