After a vision telling him to preach the Gospel caused him to be judged mad and briefly imprisoned, he went to Lagos and joined the Faith Tabernacle, a Yoruba independent church that had broken with Anglicanism. From there he began traveling across Nigeria and into Ghana, attracting crowds and performing healing ceremonies.
Baada ya maono yakimwambia ahubiri Injili yalimpelekea kuhukumiwa kuwa ana wazimu na kufungwa jela kwa muda, alikwenda Lagos na kujiunga na Faith Tabernacle, kanisa huru la Wayoruba lililojitenga toka Uangalikana. Toka hapo alianza kusafiri kote Nigeria mpaka kuingia Ghana, akivuta umati na kufanya ibada za uponyaji.
