REVEREND IDOWU ANIMASAWUN’s life as a Juju Music Lord in the 60s, 70s and 80s was spiced with lots of activities until JESUS took him into the vineyard in 1983 for His Works.
A trained stenographer who later became an ICON in the Nigerian Entertainment Industry especially in the South Western Part of the country; his brand of Juju music was then referred to as “Apola”.
He was the APOLA KING that ruled the entertainment industry of the early 60s to the 80s alongside his peers like Chief Commander Ebenezer OBEY Fabiyi and King Sunny Ade among others until Christ arrested him for His Kingdom work.
He left indelible marks on the musical scene with hit songs like “Ijo Apola’, ‘Thunder Balogun’, ‘Apola Tunde’, ‘Odidere L’oga Ede’, ‘Kini n be N’igbo’ and several other tracks that remained evergreen till date.
The gifted Composer, Arranger, Singer and Instrumentalist is now a clergy with full devotion to ministerial activities inside Badeku Town in Oyo State (Few Kilometres away from Ibadan town).
The Juju Apola creator is now fully committed to propagating the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, and giving freely every resource that comes his way to support every effort to win souls for Jesus Christ. He suffered much consequent to his conversion and commitment to Christ, yet he did not turn back.
His desire is to always obey Christ’s commands and one finds it very difficult to believe he ever came from a Muslim background.
IDOWU ANIMASAWUN is one of the few celebrities, who after giving their life to Christ, stabilized in the faith, and thereafter commit to serving the Lord as a missionary in the rural area. He is a true believer in Christ, and a missionary per excellence fully committed to the assignment of training upcoming missionaries.
He and his late wife, Deborah Animasawun, co-founded WorldHope Ministries in 1985 with Headquarters at Badeku town. The ministry reaches out with the gospel to other rural environments in Nigeria.
During his 86th birthday in February 15, 2024, he launched his long anticipated biography titled “PRESERVED FOR A PURPOSE”.
Asabe Afrika TV met him in Lagos in the evening of Friday February 23rd during a short visit and the legendary Juju Music Lord turned Christ Ambassador spoke on life experience and why he put all in a book.
