From UNILAG to WWE: How a Lagos Church Backed Oba Femi
Known today as Oba Femi on the WWE main roster, Isaac Odugbesan once faced uncertainty as a student-athlete at UNILAG. In a recent sit-down on a WWE podcast, he revealed that Grace Assembly in Lagos and his mentor Pastor Femi Paul provided the financial and emotional support that made his move to the United States possible. Femi described Pastor Paul as a father figure who kept tensions low at home and reminded him to honour his parents even as he chased big dreams abroad. That grassroots backing proved pivotal. After toppling Brock Lesnar and posting a string of victories, Oba Femi carries his community’s faith into every championship match.
