I am a middle-aged married man with two boys and a girl. A terrific teacher,motivator and a servant of God, desirous to be of service to God an seed humanity. A jovial man at heart but highly principled.The second born in a polygamous family of mixed blood, I, Rexford Jimi Aremu Ajeigbe, was delivered of my mother, the first wife of my father, some fifty-five years ago, precisely at night on the 18th day of September, 1960 in a small village in the Eastern Region of Ghana called Osiem. In fact, history has it that my late grandfather, a native of Iseyin, a town in Oyo State in the Western part of Nigeria immigrated to Ghana on foot and founded the village of Osiem. No wonder, he was known as Asasewura, meaning the Landowner till his death there in 1974.
The family of Tijani, my grandfather who became a converted and devout Muslim because of his association with the Hausa traders of that time, was greatly respected and his son, my father, Mr. Samuel Maxwell Jimah Ajeigbe happened to be among the early few University graduates from that village of Osiem. It is on record that my Aunty, Donkor Habiba, had the most memorable wedding ceremony in Osiem, when she got married to a Yoruba Muslim from Iseyin, who was a big merchant in Cape Coast, Ghana. In such a family with both Christians and Muslims, I was born and given the best of western education. I never got to know my father as a Christian or a Muslim. Instead, I saw him as a Theosophist who believed that it is good to be good to all the people around you. He never discriminated and was down to earth spiritually developed. However, it was strange that he could not reconcile with my mum, a Christian of a royal blood, when they got separated, rather, he got married to another woman, who was rather hostile to my two brothers and me. May her soul rest in peace as it is not quite good to speak ill of the dead. I was very young at that time and that really affected my upbringing in such a way that I thought my mother was at fault and decided not to see her again. It therefore took me over three decades to amend fences with my mother, who chose to remain single till death, a decision that has endeared her to me.
I went through a lot and my attitudes and behavior were conditioned mainly by the experiences in my immediate and extended family. My father was usually at loggerheads with his three sisters and the only brother of his. The infighting affected all the children in the family as we were not free to be together in one house. Nevertheless, my immediate two brothers and I were known for our good academic performance right through our primary and secondary schools. I had a unique privilege to study in the United States of America, Florida precisely but was deported. I later had the opportunity to visit Germany and Spain but could not make any meaningful gains in those places. I had to settle in Kano, Nigeria, where I eventually started my family by getting married in 1997. I had previously been in a relationship with one, Susie in Ghana, who took in and gave birth to a set of twins who could not survive in 1979.
I am happily married with three wonderful children, a girl and two boys. My appetite for reading knows no bounds. I am a voracious reader and an ardent student in search of the truth and peace. Among the books read by me are Theosophical books and manuals authored by Madame Helen Blavastky, Purucker and a host of them. I have digested books by Lobsang Tuesday Rampa, King George, James Hadley Chase, Vincent Norman Peale, Bill Newman, Joel Osten, Oral Roberts, Ben Carson, Mike Murdoch, Oyedepo and E.A Adeboye among several on varied subjects. The list is endless. The quest for knowledge has led me to delving into various fields of study including Metaphysics, Numerology, Kabbalah and the Tarot card reading. In fact I am not just religious, a Christian for that but a Theosophist who believes that the world can be made a better place if only people know themselves by being enlightened. I love travelling, playing chess, soccer, hockey and table tennis in addition to reading. I also love good music; jazz, blues, reggae among others but ironically I do not have a nice voice to sing. In fact I claim to have a toad in my throat.
It was my burning desire to teach the teeming youth the truth about existence that compelled me to take up teaching, though my ambition was to be a doctor or an inventor of artificial blood. Without any regrets, I have understood that the blood is synonymous with lifesaving or rather the need to educate people to become more human, I consequently deem it very essential to impart only relevant knowledge and ensure that my pupils really grasp what they learn. My years of existence on planet Earth have exposed me to various experiences that make me yearn to render my best to humanity by making the world a better place for all. I play chess, table tennis and hockey as pastimes but most times I read widely on virtually all subjects. I love motivating others by teaching and preaching. I enjoy discussing various current issues on all aspects of life. I am a good problem solver and hope to achieve more by more study in order to stamp my feet in the annals of history when I am gone. I yearn to be a prolific writer before passing on. As a member of the Redeemed Christian Church, I had to undergo training in the Believers’ class and the School of Disciples (SOD) and became a worker and presently a Minister, a Sunday School teacher, Coordinator of my Area House fellowship Department. Furthermore, I handle the baptismal class and I am the Church Secretary of my Parish. I enrolled in the Bible College and obtained a Post Graduate Diploma in 2011 but I have opted out of ordination all these years. My desire is not for titles but to be of service to God by serving humanity and to live in holiness and righteousness which in essence is to be of love and assistance to all and sundry.
As a terrific teacher, I am the Coordinator of a Private Nursery, Primary and Secondary mixed day school in the heart of Abuja, the capital of Nigeria. I am on a salary of eighty thousand naira a month. I intend to embark on cash crops and honey business. There are lots of cash crops such as ginger and honey in my wife's home in Kaduna state in Nigeria. Besides the local high demand for ginger, there is also the greater prospect of exporting the crop. With enough capital, I intend to stockpile the ginger by buying from the farmers at a rather reduced price. I will then have them dried and store in bags for shipment. Honey is also another non-perishable product which gets better with time when stored. I need to buy enough quantities and store. I wish to operate a summer holiday lessons to metamorphose into a school by September, 2019. I wish to start from the 1st of August, 2019
