ADEOYE  There is a brief information here about my heritage, belief, value, and my family. My name is Blessing Foluso Adeoye. I was born in Nigeria to Chief and Mrs. Adeoye. I am from a large family (Obala's compound). My grandfather was Chief Obala of Imesi-Ile and my great uncle was the past Obala of Imesi-Ile (Obala means the highest king) and my father was the Baba-Isale - the chairman of all Christian bodies in the town.  My father and his brothers introduced Christianity to my town about 100 years ago. I am married to Florence Funlola and we are blessed with four children - Treslyn, Bukky, Tola, and Funso.

Pastor Funso Adeoye

Funso is derived from Olufunso which means "God gave me to watch." This boy is named after me ; he is a true blessing. He is very energetic at home; he thinks he's in charge. He sings very well. He is a wonderful young  man.  Recently, he told me he is a pastor.  He preached his first sermon at 11 yrs old in Nigeria in 2005.

 

Treslyn Adeoye (aka preacher girl)

This name is unique and special. It means blessings to us. We could not find anyone named Treslyn before this child was born. Treslyn is precious, beautiful, and obedient. I cannot trade her for anything (maybe a husband one day!.

 

Christine Adetola Adeoye

Tola is a short for Adetola, which means "God is to be honored". Ade means crown and my crown is God. Tola is another character; she is like a combination of her sisters. She is a precious and wonderful girl.

 

 

Michele Adebukola Adeoye 

  Bukky is short for Adebukola which means "God added to my wealth". Bukky is beautiful, very smart, and sensitive. She is a type of child that every parent dreams about. She is always sensitive and when she thinks I am not happy, she finds a way to bring happiness and laughter.

 

 

It  is true that for every successful man there is a woman behind the success. With me, God has provided Funlola as the woman. Funlola means "God gave me wealth." She is a wonderful lady. Her grandfather was Chief Odofin of Imesi-Ile. Chief Odofin is the third in command to the king of the town. Actually, without Odofin, a new king cannot be installed in our town.
