(Part 1/2) I was in year one at UNILAG with exams coming up. I was reading at the education faculty with some of my classmates at about 1am and there was a lady evangelising. (Before that period, I had stopped going to church and was using school as an excuse.) The lady came up to me and said that what she had to tell me was more important than my exams. I asked her how she verified the authenticity of the Bible and she said, “All scripture is written by the inspiration of God.” 

Prior to that time, I had already started writing my own Bible. It didn’t have a name, but it was something different. I didn’t know where the inspiration came from. I had gone into a lot of astrology, palmistry, metaphysics and the like. I would wake up at night and just start writing. So back to the lady. We had a long conversation and I was able to confuse her and convert her to a religion I formed right there on the spot called, “Ehism”. She asked me, “Who are you?” I said, “I am who I am.” She asked if I was a philosopher, a Muslim, Buddhist or Atheist and I said no. From nowhere I just said, “I’m a disciple of the discipline of Ehism.” I told her Ehisim is a way of life that shows you god for who god is by yourself, not by some written words of man. (“Ehisim” was gotten from one of my middle names, “EbenEHIta”). I said, “I know you are Angel (that’s her name).” Familiar spirits had started working. She was surprised I knew her name. 

And that’s how it all started – my new religion. I was able to convert her and some people that night. I could talk to anyone convincingly and tell them about themselves. What to say would always come. I was twisting God’s word and perverting it.
