A visually impaired Nigerian Prophet, Shittu Adeniyi (popularly known as Oluwalogbon), recently shared the story of how he lost his sight, three months after he uttered some words following an experience he encountered. Adeniyi shared his experience during an interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC Yoruba).
Adeniyi revealed that he was preaching in church when he was informed that his wife had given birth to a child. Following the news, Adeniyi said his members rejoiced while two pastors returned to the hospital to check on his wife.
On getting to the hospital, Adeniyi revealed that his wife was in a critical condition as she was bleeding and required blood transfusion which she recieved. Adeniyi however disclosed that they were making preparations to move his wife to another medical facility when the doctor informed him that his wife passed away.
Upon receiving the news of his wife’s demise, Adeniyi revealed that he said, “God you disgraced me”. Adeniyi revealed that he made the statement with tears in his eyes.
The prophet revealed that three months after he uttered those words, he started having challenges with his eye sight. He revealed that he slept one day and woke up to find out that he couldn’t see properly with his eyes.
According to Adeniyi, he kept seeking solutions to his eye sight, until a doctor in Ibadan told him that his eyes were beyond recovery
Adeniyi said that he has since endeavored to live a normal life since the series of events, adding that he remarried and also went into fish farming. The prophet also disclosed during the interview that he makes christian songs and hosts a radio show.
He described his journey in fish farming as a venture that initially failed as fishes died, but Adeniyi proceeded to get things right with the fish farming.
Adeniyi revealed that sometimes he cries concerning his situation because he feels like his blindness has made him miss out on much. He encouraged people with one challenge or the other not to relegate themselves to begging, as there are opportunities out there.
