Solomon Olufemi Dada

He was born on September 6, 1955 as the last offspring to Pa Francis & Juliana Dada on the church premises, with no sign of life, until water was put in a church bell and poured upon him, and he was revived. This ushered him into his iconic destiny. Although sickly, he maintained a first position unless he was sick during his primary education at Joke Taiwo Primary school and his secondary education at ljebu Ode Grammar School. He started work after school at National Electric Power Authority (NEPA). He started supply business in 1976 by partnering with Consolidated Breweries and helped with an important part of their grain processing: degerming of seeds. But for his love for nature, he began farming business about the same time, supplying beef to the community and organization. As a Prodigious man of many skills, he went into politics. His political ambition made him the respected youth leader of Ogun State during Olabisi Onabanjo tenure. After his political days in 1983, he focused on his agricultural businesses of feed manufacturing, arable farming & livestock farming. He was a farming consultant to reckon with, who helped revive the farming industry in Ogun state,especially ljebu land & environs. As for his ministry experience, his commitment to business did not deter him from making iconic contributions to the church. After grooming his spiritual capacity at Amukoko assembly, an assembly of The Apostolic Church began in his house, which has grown into Oluwafemi District. He was a great spiritual leader, a mentor, and a philanthropist who carried many people's needs upon his shoulder. He defended the truth according to the word of God and participated actively in anything he laid his hands on. For him, it was ALL or NOTHING. *Family life* Solomon-Olufemi-Dada met his life partner, Elizabeth Oluyemisi, in 1974 while working at NEPA and they got married in December 30, 1978 at Isonyin ljebu. Together, they thrived in business, ministry. and family life for nearly 47 years. Their marriage was blessed with five children, and who have reproduced many grandchildren. All his seeds, he nurtured, helped, and guarded physically & spiritually. During his final days, he struggled to succumb to after life, maintaining his wish to spend more time with the children. After validating from his children their continuous consent to let him go to rest, Solomon Olufemi Dada was relieved of his earthly responsibilities and answered Yes to the call of glory on March 10, 2025 at 7:15pm at Mercy Medical Centre Baltimore MD
