Early Life
Tony Marioghae had a noble childhood. His godly parents influenced him positively. Due to his family royal heritage, unique multi-racial background, and Christian discipline, he was taught at an early age to fight for, and protect the rights of the oppressed and needy, and also to be kind to people irrespective of their race, class or creed. This philosophy would eventually shape his character and define his mission. As a preacher today, he advocates that love should be used as a divine weapon to heal the world and achieve positive change, using Biblical principles in a holistic manner. His father, Hon. Daniel Marioghae was a prominent lawyer, civil rights activist, legislator, and a respected local government Chairman (Mayor) in Nigeria.

Shine Philippines attracts people from all walks of life, with a vision to transform the nation by advocating a productive paradigm shift[6]. Since then, this revolutionary movement has attracted millions of people nationwide, equipped and transformed thousands of lives positively, and aggressively impacted the nation’s political leaders, religious leaders, the business community, and the entertainment industry, in a way that only a few organizations ever did. Thus leading to a huge spiritual harvest of souls, and massive revivals in different parts of the Philippines. Tony Marioghae believes that mental revolution is the key to a nation’s transformation and sustainable development. He is a man of vision, integrity and excellence, who articulates his convictions passionately. In his crusades, seminars and conferences, Bishop Marioghae urges the faithful to “shine as lights” in every spectrum of life. Top government officials and diplomats admire his unique dynamism. In a public event in 2013, Vice-President Jejomar Binay and Ambassador Akinyemi Farounbi respectively praised the leadership qualities, vision and integrity of Bishop Marioghae. While Lucena City Mayor, Hon. Roderick Alcala, extoled the cleric for “enlightening the Lord’s flock in Lucena City and the entire Quezon Province with the truth of freedom for the mind, soul and spirit”.

Asked about his love for the Philippines, he said that Filipinos are “such good and intelligent people, the only Christian country in Asia and that is why I want to help reach out to them, spread the word, teach them how to love their own country, master whatever they are good at, use their knowledge the right way, and everything will just fall into place for them”. He is married to Dr. Ernaida Cuevas Marioghae, a (former) consultant to the Philippine Congress, and they are blessed with two children.
