Who is Iranse

“Iranse” in Yoruba language my mother tongue means “a Servant”, while “Eledumare” is one of the many appellations for “the Most High God”.

Iranse Eledumare is a sobriquet of Mr. Babajide O.O Taiwo. It’s also a title and i’ll like to say it is my new name, all former documents remain valid, while lots of old things are passed away.

I am a diasporan who hails from Ogun State, South west, Nigeria. I’m no scion of privilege, my father was a police officer and former force signals officer, my mother a teacher, disengaged from active service in the 80s to become a full time housewife in response to familial exigencies and caring for myself and siblings.

I wear may hats, that of an author, i published a treatise titled “MESSIAH ENIGMA”; its full of disclosures that impacts mainstream doctrinal perspectives, most especially postulations on Humanity’s expected Messiah, which is a constant theme in various religions practiced worldwide.

Another hat i wear is that of music artist composing to excite and enjoin listeners, 

With the exception of holiday jobs while in university resume style jobs are not my thing; I’ve been self-employed all my life, with decades of experience trading equities, derivatives, petroleum products and  properties.

Another hat is that of a business analyst, I develop and enhance business models, algorithms and I relish solving problems others can’t, why because i see what other don’t, that’s another hat right there, enough about hats for now,

Now onto some personal stuff, taking a cue from gaffes of past leaders when it comes to health, I think its right to disclose early enough that I was born with the medical condition known as sickle-cell anemia, only close friends and family know of this peculiarity, so dear reader welcome into that fold. It is also reason why I’ve never had a nine to five job, my health status being one where I’m sort of on call for a sickle-cell crises, precluded my 9 – 5 ambitions.

Living with this condition has been both enhancing and limiting to my lifestyle. Enhancing, by steering my competencies in regions of cerebral excellence, meaning I’m more of brains than brawls persona, limiting because from painful crises I have stoically learnt to treat my body with utmost care, that doesn’t mean you won’t find the limn of a six-pack under my vest though.

I’m single with no kids, people are swift to ask why, well a fast answer is my purpose is not to get married and have children, somehow that lure to start a family has never been my life’s foremost priority, perhaps its destiny at play because I can imagine my partner crying and saying to me, “you wants to turn me into a widow” once she finds out I’m venturing into state affairs. Its never too late for a man so the first lady to blow my mind will be my first lady at my state wedding soon.

A little more about my book, it would never have been written by me if I didn’t sacrifice my “cares of life longings” for understanding what faith in God means, it takes a lot more than observing a religious lifestyle to understand or decode the mysteries about God, that’s word for those with ears to hear.

I am a neophyte, with no one’s support, of my foray into state affairs, some of those I’ve shared my intentions with have labeled me as a joker, some consider me as one on a suicide mission, and some have remained taciturn, perhaps not to be pessimistic. The “only One” whose support I have is that of “the Most High God”.

Advise has come to me, to ferret out any reference of my religious and philosophical persona for fear it may bungle my chances. My steadfastly response remains, if God is not with me in this or any venture then I’m out.

Secular ideals of good morals, character or intentions are insufficient to fix a broken system, you can only fix a broken system if you are backed by “the Force” which desires things to become reformed,

I’ve gone in search of “that force called God”, and i’m sure I’ve found “that entity we call the Most High”, the time has come to demonstrate to Humanity what it means to be backed by “the LORD of Host”.

I know that makes me sound  supercilious, all I ask is to be judged in all perspectives by my results and not my rhetoric, if it does what it says on the tin, one can conclude it’s the original stuff and not some fake substitute, seat back and enjoy the show guys.
