Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere,[1] predominantly known as Odumeje, is a Nigerian clergyman and general overseer of The Mountain of Holy Ghost Intervention and Deliverance Ministry[2] and a musician.[3]
Early life
Odumeje was born in Imo State, Nigeria into a family of six children and was the third born child. He had very limited formal education as he dropped out of school at an early age and cited "financial constraints" as the root cause. Prior to becoming a clergyman, he relocated to Anambra State in search of a better life, where he established a business as a struggling leather designer, a profession he would eventually abandon to establish a church.[4]
Religious activity
Odumeje's claimed methods of healing earned him the title; "The wrestling pastor" [5] Odumeje had a feud with a former female associate, known as Ada Jesus, who accused him of being a false prophet and a charlatan who stage managed miracles.[6]
Upon being described as a “money-inclined show maker” he declared his detractors to be noisemakers.[7]
Personal life
Odumeje is married to Uju Ohanaemere.[8]
