Ayobami Matthew Oyediji

Nickname(s): Ayo, Io, Dude, Ay, Matt, etc.

Born: Born August 7, not 2007

How did you hear about Nine30? I just showed up one day at 9:30. After the NINE30 worship, some people came and introduced themselves to me….and the rest is history.

What do you like most about Nine30? Proverbs 27: 17 states; “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” This is what I see in Nine 30, college age men and women in similar struggles worshiping together and encouraging one another by sharpening the countenance of each other.

How are you involved at FBC? Media crew, International mission, Ultimate Frisbee Night, Trash Tuesday, Life group member

Where are you from? Lagos, Nigeria

Who is your daddy and what does he do? Much love and respect for him. He is a Marine surveyor.

Who is your cell phone provider? T-Mobile aka Terrible-Mobile (but that was a long time ago!!)

If you had a pet flying mammoth, what would you name it? "Night Hawk" after the F 117 USAF

What's the last movie you saw? Transformers

If you could hang out with one person for one day, who would it be?
LIVING: Good question! You!!
DEAD: Solomon. I'd just like to soak in that dude's God-given wisdom.

What are you reading right now? Above All Earthly Pow'rs: Christ in a Postmodern World By David F. Wells

What is your favorite Bible story? The life of David

How long have you known Jesus? I began my personal relationship with Jesus seven years ago, but publicized my faith less than a year ago.

What is your favorite food? Pounded yam and a wonderful soup. The summarized story behind it like I was told, is as follows: “In ancient time the Egigbo people of South-West Nigeria had a very Powerful king known as Ogiyan. When Ogiyan was about to die he told his Kingdom to eat Pounded yam in remembrance of him.” That is why we do what we do.

Facebook or MySpace? Facebook.

Most influential person in your life? My parents (hey, "the two shall become one")

What is your least favorite food? Anything that has pickles in it.

If you could add any word to the dictionary what would it be? Ayobami, because I’m tired of having Microsoft Word tell me I’m spelling it wrong (hmm, I wonder why?)

Where do you see yourself in five years? Five years from now I see myself passing on the legacy given me, investing in others, as a part of a church ministry and at the same time improving my career ambitions.

Do you have any words of wisdom for your fellow NINE30ers? Going to church and baptism are things that Christians do but not all that do them are Christ-like. Are you Christ-like?
