About Seyi
I was born in Nigeria in the 90s, into a home where faith was not a performance — it was simply how we lived. My parents raised us with intention, and God was never far from the centre of things. One memory that stays with me is my mother enrolling me in the Macedonian Mission Society programme as a teenager, where I read through all 72 books of the Bible. I did not fully understand what was being built in me then. I do now.
I gave my life to Christ personally in 2010. I had been in church long before then — serving, showing up, learning the Word of God and matters of the kingdom. Not long after, I began serving as a digital and multimedia technician. It was at the University of Ibadan Chapel of Resurrection where something deeper took root. The culture there — holiness, consecration, excellence before God — got into me in a way I cannot fully explain. Leaders poured into us. Friends sharpened us. A hunger formed that has never quite settled. Then in 2016, a fully funded government scholarship opened a door I did not knock on myself — and I found myself in the United Kingdom, pursuing a Master's in Information Security.
"You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore." — Psalm 16:11
The real turning point came in 2018 and again in 2020 — I began to see the Holy Spirit not just in the form of doctrine but as a Person, present and practical. A friend walked with me further into that revelation, and I personally experienced the baptism of the Holy Spirit. What I had believed became real. Then in 2024, the calling crystallised — toward interceding for Ottawa and the body of Christ, toward governance, toward equipping the Church to show up in public life. That calling became impossible to ignore.
Today I am in Ottawa, Canada — a city I was called to. I serve as a creative media assistant in my local church. For two years I have convened OttawaPrays, bringing believers together across Ottawa to pray over our city, the body of Christ, and our nation. That intercession never stopped — it simply expanded. The Tribe of Daniel Network was born from that place of prayer, taking what was built on our knees into the public square. One intercedes. The other equips. Two arms, one heartbeat. Away from the platform, I am a husband and a father, living with my family here in Ottawa. Psalm 16:11 is the verse I return to most: "In Your presence is fullness of joy." That is the thing I am most after. Secure His presence, and everything else finds its place.
