Nigerian-born wrestler Oba Femi, born Isaac Odugbesan, has opened up about the support he received from the founder of Grace Assembly, Pastor Femi Paul, before moving to the United States to chase his wrestling dreams.
Speaking during an interview, the wrestler revealed that members of the church contributed financially to assist him with his relocation and career pursuit.
Oba Femi described Pastor Femi Paul as a major source of inspiration in his life. He also recounted how the cleric stepped in with valuable advice during a period of tension between him and his father.
According to the wrestler, the pastor taught him the importance of honouring and respecting his father, a lesson he said has guided him throughout his life.
He further shared that the constant positive words and encouragement from his parents played a significant role in shaping the person he has become today.
Following the interview, several fans reacted online, noting that while some people may overlook his comments now, the same critics could eventually attack the church or clergy if he begins making public donations in the future.
Others recalled how singer Rema once spoke positively about the church he attended before fame, citing the support he received from the congregation.
Some social media users also praised Pastor Femi Paul, with a number of them sharing personal stories about how the cleric supported them during challenging times.

@Homiebishop:”Tomorrow, if he supports the church with millions of dollars, anti-church people will ask how the church or the pastor got their money.”
@Colinsuba:”In 2023, I had challenges with my business. My friend Patrick suggested that we go and see someone. We spent only about 20 minutes with Pastor Femi Paul at Oregun, Ikeja, and the rest is history. Have a pastor who helps you navigate life’s challenges. There is a reason for it.”
@Chike R3:”He didn’t forget his roots. Nice one, Oba Femi, and thanks to Pastor Femi Paul and all of Grace Assembly.”
@Excelmonifade:”Someone is saying something about his pastor and church now, those anti-church guys will not say anything now. But the moment he donates money now, there will be outrage. May God continue to strengthen you bro. I love testimony like this.”
