A Deeper Life Pastor, John Elaigwu Odogbo, has emerged as the paramount ruler elect of Idomaland.

He emerged through an election conducted by kingmakers.

The four contenders for the stool were Andrew Idakwu, John Bamaiyi, Sunday Echono, and Pastor John Eliagwu Odogbo.

At the end of the voting by the kingmakers, Andrew Idakwu got one vote, Pastor John Elaigwu Odogbo got 19 votes while Sunday Echono got eight votes.

Idoma traditional council on Thursday presented the Och’Idoma-elect to the state governor, Samuel Ortom, at the government house, Makurdi.

The paramount ruler-elect hails from Agatu Local Government Area of Benue State.

The paramount ruler of Idomaland, His Royal Highness Elias Ikoyi Obekpa joined his ancestors in October 2021, he was a native of Ogbadibo and ascended the throne in 1996 following the exit of HRM Abraham Ajene Okpabi.

Ortom hailed the Idoma nation for the selection of their new monarch, adding that he had always stood for equity, transparency, and justice.

He said that appointment belongs to God who chooses one and anoints such person to do His will.

“We will find a convenient day to do the coronation. I want the contribution of the traditional rulers to my administration,” Ortom said.

The new Ochi’Idoma was born on March 27, 1969 to the family of Elaigwu Ekoja as the fifth child in Obagaji, the headquarters of Agatu Local Government Area of the state.

He is a graduate of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria (1994) with degree in Accounting and currently studying for his doctorate degree.

It’s a combination something.

Expect him to swear with the Bible and openly reject Idoma charms and Tradition during his Coronation, with the promise of returning the Idoma nation to the one true God.

All na wash!!!

Another Pastor Monarch

Tor Tiv was also Deeper life Pastor before Coronation

Ochi Idoma too a Deeperlife Pastor.

That's Good

He was never a REAL pastor to begin with. Bible warned that in the last days, many will come in His Name (God's Name) and deceive even the very elect ( Matthew 24:5). He became a pastor to make ends meet. Now he has found something seemingly better and he has jumped ship again. Have you ever wondered why with all the churches in Nigeria, there is still no peace in that country?

You just open your mouth and comment what you don't know, Deeper Life pastors spend their money on the church, they don't receive a dime from the church unless rare gift.

Pharisee, what does it have to do with his relationship with God?

Congratulations to him.

Ortom has completely destroyed the traditional institutions in Benue state.

So sad.
Ortom has destroyed everything in Benue including our traditional institutions.
He will count it as an achievement - he has dedicated Benue to God.
Meanwhile a family is eating sugar cane for dinner in Benue because Ortom is not paying them. This is a true story.
