A CRY FOR JUSTICE
1. When I consider the enormity of work I put into this Book project and the way I was robbed
of my sweat, and saw part of my work published in Punch Newspapers on the occassion of Chief A.T.G Okeowo’s 85th Birthday celebration, I continue to wonder why on earth would Daddy G.O not get me justice as Chief A.T.G Okeowo was his very strong donor membe; resident inside Redeemed Camp in whose house Mummy GO once met me as she brought Christmas hampers for Chief A.T.G Okeowo who introduced me to her as his biographist. I recall Mummy G.O asking which RCCG parish I belong to.
2. Its painful that after Bishop Peter Adebiyi of Anglican Church, Lagos West, Ikeja, got my letter (just as I sent to pastor Adeboye) of complaint against his Church member; Mr Toyin Okeowo, Treasurer Anglican Church, Lagos West, Bishop Adebiyi invited me to his Church office for a meeting with Mr Toyin Okeowo and a retired Chief Judge of Lagos State (whose name I can not recall now).
3. At that meeting Bishop Peter Adebiyi instructed that Mr. Toyin Okeowo who has collected the Book draft and CD copy of his father; Chief A.T.G Okeowo from me; should pay me for my work. Alas, Mr. Toyin Okeowo who had agreed at that meeting refused to pay me the agreed sum of N320,000 (Three hundred and twenty thousand naira).
4. I wrote a reminder letter to Pastor Enoch Adeboye about my plight and battle with A.T.G. Okeowo who had refused to prevail on his son; Mr Toyin Okeowo to pay me for the Book draft he collected from me with the CD, but no response.
5. Opportunity came for me to meet Daddy GO at The Redeemed Evangelical Mission (TREM) Lagos Ministers Conference 2002, kneeling down beside him I introduced myself, and as soon as I mentioned Chief A.T.G Okeowo’s Book I wrote, Daddy GO signaled to his Protocol man and this tall, huge man dragged me away.
6. Another opportunity presented itself at Festival of Life in London in 2003. As soon as Daddy GO finished ministration, I cornered him, “God bless you daddy, Oh, God bless you too! I quickly told him: “Sir, I am the young man, your son that wrote the Book on Chief A.T.G Okeowo…,. Daddy GO did look at me and without any response, his step changed and the Protocol officers took charge.
7. I thank Chief Chris Ogunbanjo OFR, CON for his confidence in me for writing the Foreword as he meticulously perused the Book draft and his gift of N10,000 (Ten thousand naira) as he said, you have well researched this Book. Well done.
8. I had resolved that on the Last Day, when I meet Jesus Christ, the Author and Finisher of my Faith, I will lay this complaint to Him.
