BRIEF BIOGRAPHY

SHEIKH JAMIU AMIOLOHUN (SJA): BRIEF BIOGRAPHY

Written By: Adnan Ayodele Ateniola (Fines t Entertainment & Event Mgt)

THE BEGINNING

On the special day, 4^th April 1991, the day the red sulphur among Sheikhs, the crystal lamp of civility, a knower of hidden meanings in the Holy Quran and pure essence of the truth, a paradigm of excellence, a whirlwind of spirituality, a waterfall of revelations, a volcano of divine love, a whirlpool of attraction, a rainbow of divine attributes, courageous, knowledgeable, matured mind was born, in person of Sheikh Jamiu Ajadi Sanusi (‘Amiolohun’, i.e. ‘Sign/Emblem of God/Ayatullah’) to the family of Alaso Dudu in Kishi, Oke Ogun Axis of Oyo State, Nigeria.

The earth shone with excellent rays when he was born, people always trooped to him to find, through him, the holiness and happiness of this life and hereafter. He is an ocean to quench the thirst of spirituality in all hearts. He became the talk of the town when he told everyone to come for salat during the Ramadan of 1993/1994 when he was 2-3 years old and to the surprise of many, both young and old succumbed to the infant’s call. So they came for salat in the compound instead of going to the mosque in their area (Oke Omode Mosque), in which he led the whole salat for that Ramadan in his father’s compound.

People noticed that he was a gifted clairvoyant/seer, he was also very eloquent, confident and sensitive beyond his Age. He tells people about Islam and back it up with words of the Holy Quran.

The Darkness of Ignorance vanished in the illumination of his knowledge. Neighbors were amazed at the unbelievable divine powers he possessed as a little boy. Part of the early signs is that he walked and spoke confidently before he was one and half year old. People visited him to ask about problems of their lives and their daily affairs. He would pray for them and prophesize the outcomes. As a result of the aforementioned spiritual factors and physical attributes he possessed, he became very famous in his home town. The 3 major reasons for their astonishment and his fame was that;

1. He was so young for all what he possessed.

2. He never attended any Islamic school nor has anyone teaching him what he was saying.

3. Whenever he prayed, the prayers were accepted immediately.

He was born into a polygamous family and he is the last born of his mother. He has 3 elder brothers namely Mr. Lukmon Sanusi, Mr. Musodiq Sanusi and Mr. Gafar Sanusi.

He was enrolled to primary school by his father because his desire was to see him become a graduate, rather than going into trading/business as it was in vogue in the family. He was forced to return home because he was living alone since he was seven years old in Ajagun house at Oke Omode area of Kishi where people do come to see him for prayer and spiritual assistance. During those days, he benefited from the intellectual support of one of his brother’s friend, Nurudeen Ajana by name. He completed the Primary School in 2002/2003. During the primary school days, he was the one who led on religious matters. He did different lectures in his hometown from one mosque to another. Anywhere announcements were made that he was coming to give lectures, both the old and young came out massively to listen to his sermons. Despite his fame and light of the knowledge which shined brightly all over the community, his father wasn’t in support of the development, probably because he felt all he was doing was too much as a little boy. Sheikh was in Jss1 at Kishi Community Grammar School in 2003 when he left his hometown entirely for the beginning of new segment of his propagation and religious agenda.

Though, before he left he was a religious figure in his primary school, he was among MSSN (Muslim Students’ Society, Nigeria) preachers in secondary school, he was the main scholar for Sheriff Guard of Kishi branch. He was also an authorized preacher in Kishi Central Mosque under the leadership of the then Chief Imam “Sheikh Soliudeen Alli”. All scholars at the top echelon in his hometown supported him and allowed him to deliver lectures in various mosques, especially in their personal congregation too. Great scholars like Sheikh Latif Sakaloro, Sheikh Jamiu Oke Mopo (Jagunmolu Addinni of Kishi Land), Imam Wahab Oke Omode, Sheikh Imolere, Sheikh Wahab Gbodofu, Sheikh Kareem and Baba Ile Ojapa including Alfa Tohib and Nurudeen Ojapa, Alfa Tajudeen Alawo etc. He also enjoyed the support of the Aare Musulumi of Kishi Land Alhaji Hameed Agbaje. He was growing stronger and better till 2003 when he left his hometown (Kishi).

THE JOURNEY

There is a saying that goes thus “the journey of a thousand miles begins with a step”. This journey had no specific destination, no expected shelter nor fitting robes for the voyager. Despite being young and fragile, Sheikh was effervescent in character, confident and outspoken.

Earlier in the year 2003, Sheikh was invited for a lecture in Igboho town by Sheikh Mudashiru Oloola (Khalifatul Khulafah Tijaniya of Yoruba Land) & Chief Imam of Igboho Central Mosque. Sheikh delivered an awesome lecture to which everyone in attendance were astonished at how a little boy like him could decipher encrypted quotes and analyse so many things in the Holy Quran which he used in preaching to the Muslim congregation (enjoining them to be righteous in their doings and to always be God-Conscious).

He was also invited by the Chief Imam of Ogboro for visitation sermon and prayer for the town. The gathering was graced by the old, young and prominent people in the society. All present were amazed by Sheikh’s ability to illustrate and buttress his sermon with the Holy Quran at such a tender age. Talks about him started spreading like wild fire across neighbouring towns in Oke-Ogun. He started preaching from one neighbouring town to another, spending 2-3 days before returning home.

On one fateful day, he embarked on a journey without invitation, to a place where no one knew him nor was anyone expecting him. It was at a town (in Oke-Ogun axis, Oyo state) called Saki. On getting there, he made enquiries about where he could spend the night. He was directed to one of the leading musicians who was wealthy, in person of late Muhammad Aiki Olusola (Messiah). Sheikh explained himself to him but due to some spiritual attacks happening in the town then, he couldn’t accommodate Sheikh in his house. So, he referred him to his brother, Mr. Fatai Olusola who ordered a bike man to take Sheikh to a hotel called Balako Hotel, opposite Muslim Hospital, Saki. The Bike man’s name was Baba Quadri. He and Sheikh talked and Sheikh pleaded with him to come and pick him as early as 5am so they can go to a nearby mosque for Fajr prayer, so he could ask for permission to speak to the congregation after prayer. As early as 5am, Baba Quadri came to pick Sheikh as promised and they went to Mokola mosque, Sheikh spoke to the imam and during the interaction, the imam noticed the eloquent manner in which he spoke Arabic and his choice of words in explanation of the Holy Quran. He agreed to let him speak to the congregation after fajr prayer. He informed them that there was a young Islamic scholar who was there to preach and pray for them all.

After the prayer that morning, Sheikh delivered an impeccable lecture. That was where he met Mr. Uwais, a car dealer who accommodated him for some days before travelling back to Togo. Before his journey, he introduced Sheikh to his brother (Mr Hamed Electrician) who took Sheikh to his own house. Sheikh was invited from one gathering to another in the town. Talks about him circulated the whole town, and fortunately the king heard about him, so the King, Oba Tijani (Okere of Saki Land (Now late)) invited Sheikh to the central mosque in his palace to come and deliver a sermon. He wanted to hear directly from the little boy everyone was talking about. The king, queens, chiefs and everyone in the mosque during his sermon were left in awe after his sermon. Since then, Sheikh became the king’s ally and was given free access to the palace, sometimes he sits with the king and his chiefs whenever they are passing judgements. At that tender age of 12, he was already standing in front of kings and queens. He became highly respected and regarded, so much that almost every known Islamic cleric/figure in that town invited him to come and deliver sermon in their respective Islamic organizations, clerics like Sheikh Oloko, Sheikh Mujahideen, Sheikh Alimi, Sheikh Taofiq, Ekuntakoro and many more scholars in Saki.

Sheikh went back to Kishi to spend few days because he had plans return back to Saki during the Ramadan period, a town where he had gained the support and loyalty of prominent personalities, such as Muhammad Aiki Olusola (Messiah), Fatai Olushola, Mr. Uwais, Mr Ahmed, Muri Arigbagbuwo, Waidi Megida, Mrs. Awele, Miss Mujidat, Fatai Olaiya Ayantebo, and that of the monarch of the town.

His fame had spread and talks about him had reached many, so when going back to Saki from Kishi, he took along someone called Alfa Bunyamin as a reciter (Ajanosi) and Alfa Mutiu (An elderly man) to accompany him. Though, after few days in Saki, Alfa Bunyamin and Alfa Mutiu had to return to Kishi. Sheikh went for numerous programmes in Saki, all of which were successful.

After Ramadan, Sheikh decided to embark on another journey. Sheikh left for Ogbomosho, where he stayed with a friend called Sheikh Ismail Ibrahim Eleha and also met Alhaji Muhammad Fulani, who now resides in Ifo, Ogun State. During his short stay in Ogbomoso, he enjoyed their hospitality and support. Sheikh Ismail Eleha is the founder of Morkaz Faozu wa Najat Islamic Studies, Ogbomoso. Sheikh insisted he needed to move on in his journey, so Sheikh Ismail introuduced him to his friend in Oyo called Alfa Afiz. After spending few weeks in Oyo, words kept coming to Sheikh (i.e. he received the premonition) that he is not yet in his destination and that he needed to move on. So, he travelled to Ibadan. On getting to Ibadan, the inner voice whispered again and told him: ‘it’s not here’. Then he heard a bus conductor screaming at the top of his voice “Eko Eko Iyana Ipaja Eko (i.e. Lagos state)”. Then, the voice whispered to him: ‘that is your destination’, so he boarded the bus and after few hours, they got to Iyana Ipaja, which was the last Bus Stop. He alighted from the bus and since he had no specific destination but he had no iota of doubt in his mind (that he was at the right and divinely-guided destination). He knew his Creator (ALLAH) who sent him on the journey would never forsake him. As a 12 years old boy, he came to Lagos without invitation from anyone, no family or relative, no money or expected shelter. God is wonderful! There is no other GOD except ALLAH!

He was wandering about the axis of Iyana Ipaja since he had nowhere to go, looking at the structures, the crowd and the people in a place he perceived as ‘NO MAN’S LAND’. After few hours of wandering, it was almost time to break his fast, he needed to break his fast, so he tried to bring out the boiled egg a man he met in the bus (from Ibadan to Lagos) gave him, but he couldn’t find it. He only saw a sheet of paper with his own handwriting stating an address from Iyana Ipaja to Olohunishola.

Let me briefly explain what transpired in the bus he boarded to Lagos from Ibadan. He was in the bus at the park, then another passenger came in and sat beside him, he was a grown up man, so sighting the little boy (Sheikh) he met in the bus, he was so curious to ask him what he was going to do in Lagos, and Sheikh replied, ‘I want to go for lectures’, the man was surprised. The Sheikh asked him what he was going to do in Lagos and the man smiled and he answered, ‘I am a business man and I have business partner in Lagos, recently we did a job and I guess we should have been paid and I haven’t received information from the bank about any payment, so I have to go and check them in Lagos’ and back then (in 2003) telephones were only used by the elites. As intuitively-inspired from the Almighty Allah, Sheikh told the man that those he was going to see in Lagos are already at his house in Ibadan presently as he speaks. It sounded so funny to the man and he saw those words as a mere child’s play, so he just changed the topic and asked Sheikh saying ‘Young cleric (Alfa Kekere), would you like to eat egg’ and Sheikh agreed, so he bought two boiled eggs for sheikh, which Sheikh put in his polythene bag because he was fasting and the polythene bag also contained two pairs of cloth. Few minutes later, the wife of the man the Sheikh was discussing with in bus came looking for her husband at the park and on sighting him she said “my husband, those you want to go and see in Lagos just came looking for you at home now, I told them to wait”. ALLAH AKBAR!!! He was surprised and he looked at Sheikh and said ‘you are such a great man, God bless you sir’, so he paid his transport fare and gave him extra N500 Naira.

Back to the earlier illustration of the arrival to Lagos. Sheikh tried to trace the address in the sheet of paper (he miraculously found in his polythene bag), he was surprised to find in it an address he never wrote himself (and was in his own handwriting). He bought that polythene bag when he was coming from Ibadan. He knew (in his mind that) it was GOD that was at work. The struggle to build the structures began for Sheikh from a tender age. Talent with hard work brings success, but God’s grace is a pivotal factor in all we do.

Then he boarded a bus going to Ipaja from Iyana Ipaja. A strange man called him by his name, his father name and mother’s name too and he reminded him of everything that has transpired in his journey. Surprised and saddened because Sheikh feared the strange man might take him back home, thereby halting his mission. The man then smiled and said ‘do not be afraid, am not taking you home’, even though Sheikh never uttered the words to him, he told Sheikh to endure whatever comes his way. This strange man knew much about him and Sheikh was so surprised about this. The strange man told the conductor he will be alighting at the next bus stop and he should take sheikh to Ayobo and direct him on how he can get a bus going to Bada, in Olohunishola, a remote area.

He got there around 9pm and stayed at the junction where the bike man dropped him without knowing where to go because the address stated no specific house, Sheikh waited till 11pm, it was dark and the street was so silent, trees and bush paths everywhere, every doors in nearby houses have been shut. Suddenly, someone flashed a light from afar coming towards the direction of Sheikh. He got nearer to him and he recognized him and he said Alfa Jamiu, what are you doing around here? Then he lifted the torch to his own face and fortunately it was Alfa Munirudeen Aladie was also a good follower in Saki, who also attended Sheikh’s programs while he was in Saki. Sheikh never knew he had moved to Lagos. The man was already working in Oko-Oloyun Company in Igando, though he was still living with his junior brother Waheed Aladie as at then. He then asked Sheikh to follow him to his place if he doesn’t mind. He introduced Sheikh to his brother and his brother welcomed Sheikh and was happy with him. They accommodated him for 3 months in Bada, the brother was selling paints and also a welder.

Then Sheikh was later introduced to the Chief Imam of Bada town, where 2 days public lecture was organized by the muslims in that community for Sheikh, the program was fully supported by the then Chairman of Ayobo Ipaja LCDA in person of Honourable Prince Bisi Yusuf (now a Member of Lagos State House of Assembly), so from there several organizations started inviting him to different gatherings for prayers and sermons. From Olohunishola, Bada, Ayobo, Ipaja, Jakande Estate and all communities nearby. He gained massive support and ground till he became an ally to Sheikh Tajudeen Ipaja (now late), one of the top scholars in that area. He spent 9 months there and his fame had gone across Alimosho, Ipaja, Fagba, Agege among other area in Lagos State. Mr. Muniru introduced him to Alhaji Fatai Oko-Oloyun and they became good friends till date. Afterwards, Habibdeen Islamiyat Society of Nigeria under the leadership of Amir Imam Mikail Salaudeen and late Alhaji Waheed Yusuf Ariyo (Chief Missioner) invited Sheikh for 3 days lectures at Rogo bus stop, Iju and another 3 days lectures the following week at Fagba. After these programmes, the organizations were so pleased with the turn out and the divine testimonies by all those that attended the prayer programmes and they approached Sheikh to kindly join their organization as a cleric, which Sheikh agreed and he moved from Olohunishola/Bada to Fagba at No. 5, Osho street, behind Oyedele Hospital and he spent 11months there. He became well known across all axis in the country as at then.

In 2005, Nasfat invited Sheikh Jamiu Amiolohun (SJA) to their headquarter in Alausa, Ikeja during their 10 years anniversary and the programme was attended by most branches of Nasfat across the globe, fortunately calendars were sold that very day too, which carries Amiolohun’s photo and also Alhaji Waheed Ariyo photos, as destiny wants it, someone who attended the program from Kishi bought the calendar and took it to Sheikh’s family and parents as a prove that he is not dead nor missing. They came looking for him and they met him and he later went back to his hometown for a visit and a public lecture, after spending a year and 11 months away from home as a young boy. Though by then, his popularity had risen among many states including Oyo, Osun, Ogun states and other South-West states in general.

In September 2005, he parted ways with Habibdeen Islamiyat Society of Nigeria where he had enjoyed massive support of members and masses. By then, one of his ally back home in Kishi had joined him in Lagos with the approval of his parents and family. He spent a month at ‘Agbado crossing’ before he finally got himself 3 bedroom apartment at No. 11, Alhaja Ojukotimi Street, Akera, Dalemo, Alakuko, Lagos where today he built his own mansion at No. 12, Alhaja Ojukotimi street, Akera, Dalemo Alakuko (Opposite).

THE MINSITRY/MISSION

Within a month he spent at Agbado crossing “Powerline” with Mr. Fatai Olaiya Saki, Monsuru Omo Alfa, Ahmed Ibadan, Taoreed Bajegbo, Gafar Bajegbo (Small) who followed him from Fagba as Murids, he stayed with one of his humble murids, Mukadam Akin Olohungbebe. It was there and then he had revelations of founding an Islamic organization. He later moved to his newly acquired 3 bedroom apartment where he later founded ‘Al-Mursalin Islamic Foundation’ towards October/November of year 2005 when he was just 14 years and six months.

Despite the new challenge and herculean task ahead of him in this new life of independency, many still depended on him. He is loved by everyone because he possess a pure charisma of great leadership, caring attitude, and humility. Praises have been showered upon him because of the knowledge and physical cum spiritual charisma he possess, and most especially for the spirit of Kunfayakun (BE AND IT IS) that God endowed him with from birth. He became close ally with so many Islamic scholars and prominent people in the society.

In 2005, he was invited to lead Muslim congregation in sermon and prayers at central mosque of Niger Republic (Niamey) by the National chief Imam. Sheikh Anofi Modibo (Oganija) Ilorin became his open friend and also Sheikh Abdul Qadir Solaty (Both now late).

He was specially invited to Ouagadougou (the capital of Burkina faso) in 2007 by Yoruba muslim and was honoured by the Grand Sheikh Khalifatu Tijaniya of the country and his fellow scholars like Sheikh Rahmotullah. Sheikh stayed in Alhaja Hamdalat’s house during his visit, the chief imam of Bobo Dglasou honoured him to lead the non-Yoruba muslims in his ancient central mosque during the Jumat service. People like Abiola Alapini, Sakariyau Alapini, Ogunha and others was supportive in his stay in Bobo Dglasou. The stadium was filled up with Yoruba and non-Yoruba awaiting to hear the sermon of Sheikh Jamiu Amiolohun. It had been a while it rained over there and during the programmed the people make a prayer request for rain and Sheikh prayed about it on stage after delivering his sermon. So, he instructed those who lived far away to start going home because as soon as he drops this microphone it will start raining. Immediately he dropped the microphone, it started raining and it rained continuously for 72 hours and Sheikh prayed for it to stop and it did.

He bought his first car in 2006 with the support of Alhaji Ibrahim Best. He organized his first Maolud Nabiyy in 2006 and in attendance was Sheikh Daud Alfa Nla, Chief Imam of Lagos represented by Alfa Agba Eko in person of Sheikh Gbajabiamila, Sheikh Modibo, Sheikh Qodri Solaty, Chief Imam of Ijora, Sheikh Abubakar Ariyo, Sheikh Issa Oke-Odo and many more.

In 2006, he went to Hajj along with his mum and former P.A, Mr. Fatai Olaiya, that left his work and family to join Sheikh in Lagos. One Hajj was sponsored by Mr. and Mrs. Muhammad Adamson, 2^nd one was sponsored by Senator Ibikunle Amosun (Executive Governor of Ogun state) and the 3^rd one was given by Lagos State Government with the influence of Oba Abdul Lateef Adams (Olu of Agege) now late, supported by the Commissioner for Home Affairs and Culture, Alhaji Ibrahim Tunde Balogun during the Administration of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

He has been propagating Islam around the world and in 2009 he celebrated 313 people that accepted Islam directly through him not to talk of the unknown numbers of people that accepted true faith of Islam through his sermon. He has been to several cities, states, town and communities in the country. He went to western and southern African countries, Gulf Countries and even the United States of America (USA) for the cause of Allah, to liberate people from villains to hero.

In 2007, he went to hajj together with his dad with the financial support of Alhaji Shakirudeen Oyefeso (CEO STACO INSURANCE), his family are now very close to him and he is close to them too.

He created SJA Foundation to mark his 26^th birthday this year 2017, April 4, An NGO for him to extend hands of mercy and help to the people in terms of education, health bill and other necessary amenities for those who are less privilege. Today, his organization has branches in Lagos, Ogun and Oyo States. Headquarters is located at Alakuko, Lagos where he bought another land dedicated to build a mosque on the same street he is living and built his own house, he bought the said corner piece land for 5 million naira in 2015. The said landed property was been used for idolatry activities (Ogun Ajobo Shrine) before sheikh bought it to be used for a mosque with the moral support of Alhaji Morufudeen (Ese Murphy), Baale Akera, Ajana, Osi, Mr. Musibau MS, Mr. Saheed Abogun and others.

The land is my foremost priority and I want it to be the best modern mosque. I hereby humbly request for the financial support and donation (of Muslims) towards this great ordained journey of Sheikh Jamiu Amiolohun to the way of the Almighty ALLAH and Humanity, you can also be a part of this History about to be written. Success is all about the impact you have in the people’s Life not just wealth or status. GOD bless you. Long Live Sheikh Jamiu Amiolohun.
