The Music Apostle Aderemi Olabamiji Agboola, is what Yorubas call “Akanda”, a man whose life’s tapestry reveals profound truths and mysteries. Just as every generation produces a “David” who can transform the ordinary into something extraordinary, Aderemi Olabamiji Agboola is a masterful example. Whether in humble or exalted circumstances, he possesses the gift of turning everyday sounds into melodious music. Interestingly, few people are familiar with his surname, Agboola, hence the name Remi Olabamiji has become synonymous with him.

Apostle Aderemi Olabamiji Agboola was born on October 27, 1951, in Igbajo, Osun State, Nigeria. His father, Daniel Tomiwa Agboola, hailed from the prestigious “Ile Oba Nla” compound in Igbajo, while his mother, Janet Awoboade Agboola, came from a royal family in Offa, Kwara State. This heritage reflects his rich cultural roots in two prominent towns and states, hence he remains a proud Yoruba man. Aderemi began his educational journey at African Primary School in Igbajo. He later attended schools in Ilobu and Iree, Osun State, completing his primary education at Baptist Day School Iree in 1967. He then proceeded to Kiriji Grammar School in Igbajo, where he completed his secondary education. During his youth, Aderemi demonstrated exceptional leadership and artistic skills. He served as the band leader and Drama Group leader at African Church, Igbajo, and coordinated the Billy Boys Orchestra. Occasionally, he accompanied his mother to the Christ Apostolic Church, Igbajo, where he honed his skills in playing the Samba drums.

Driven by a desire for a better life and higher standard of living, young Aderemi Olabamiji Agboola aspired to venture beyond Nigeria’s shores. His exceptional musical and artistic talents emboldened him to leave Igbajo for Ibadan, paving the way for his overseas dreams. Upon arriving in Ibadan, he was introduced to the Celestial Church of Christ by Assistant Superior Evangelist Oluwole Oladejo Adetiran, the Music Director of CCC Worldwide. Under Adetiran’s guidance, Apostle Remi Olabamiji underwent spiritual nurturing at Yemetu Parish, where he was encouraged to participate in “Isona.” This period of spiritual growth ultimately led him to CCC Army Barracks Road, Mokola, Ibadan. Notably, a prophecy had been revealed to the late Shepherd Moses Obasa Adekanmbi, foretelling the arrival of a young man who would play a pivotal role in elevating music within CCC Worldwide.

Remi Olabamiji’s illustrious music career spans several decades, with over thirty (30) awards to his name, both locally and internationally. He has released fourteen (14) albums under his own name, with the first being “Asiwere Eniyan lo so pe Olorun o si”. Additionally, he has collaborated on eight albums with CCC Army Barracks Road, Mokola, Ibadan, and has worked with numerous artists and choirs on various projects. Some of his most notable hit tracks include “Bibeli”, “Jesu Nke”, “Mo bo lowo isoro”, “A o pade lese Jesu”, and “Ranti Eleda Re”.

Remi Olabamiji’s personal life was marked by two significant marriages. His first marriage was to Sola Bada (the daughter of Rev’d Alex Abiodun Bada), and in 1989, he also married Ayo Ademoluti. He was blessed with children from both marriages: Adetoro, Seye, Sikeoye, Olaide, Deborah, Biodun, Yetunde, Seun, and the late Kunle. Aderemi Olabamiji Agboola passed away on February 14, 2025, after a brief illness, and has gone to rest in the Lord. Future generations will forever honor and celebrate the life and legacy of Apostle Aderemi Olabamiji Agboola, the renowned Apostle of Music in CCC Worldwide, to the eternal glory of Jehovah.
