Lagos, Dec. 10, 2022 – Mr Olatayo Ajiboye, the Founder of Billionaire Christians Movement, says he was inspired by God to start training youths on the sound principles of prospering through establishing and running genuine businesses.
Olatayo, a serial entrepreneur and Chairman of Talentcity International Limited, said this while telling the story of his life to journalists in Lagos at the weekend.
He traced his motivation to a call from God in 2010 to take the challenge to raise billionaire Christians who will grow though their commitment to and dedication to building businesses by following biblical financial principles.
Narrating his encounter with God, he said: “It was in 2010, I was in an uncompleted building, I was down in the spirit, burdened by negative mindset.
“But God blessed me with people. I had few friends even there; one of them invited me to a church, a parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCCG) in Phase 3, Kubwa in Abuja.
“I started going to church there and then they announced a programme, ‘A Day Out with Daddy GO,’ that was in November 11, 2011. I can never forget the date.
“I went there and came back; dropped the last money I had; in the evening, I was on a small chair there and I dozed off and I had a dream, someone touched me and said: “stand up’, I will build for you a city without poverty”, the person went on to say I should read Revelations 21:23, that is all I was told.
“So, I read Revelations 21:23 and I saw that it was talking about the çity has no need of sun or moon and that the glory of God will illuminate it and the lamb will be its light’.
“So, back then I quickly said it was about a city, so I was imagining a real city. So, I registered a company, I named it Talentcity and I started moving towards my construction career and of course planning a real estate business upon that,” he said.
Olatayo said he published a book, “15 Years a Billionaire: The Gateway to Becoming a Billionaire Christian”, to document his encounter with God and the blueprint to actualise the divine assignment as the inventor of the Double Growth Milestone (DGM) and the founder of talentcity.org, a platform he created to ignite a war against poverty in Christian society.
He said he continued to receive more messages after the initial one in 2010, inviting him to take more concrete steps to do what God had commanded; adding that this was the reason he developed the Talentcity Estate and to organise programmes to destroy the mindset that hinders God’s people from prospering.
He said: “after the message started coming, God wanted me to bring people into the estate; and to raise billionaire Christians, I decided to do it in several other ways.
“For instance, I did Sky Thought. So, I felt the only way to bring people into that city was to change their mindset. So, I took people into the sky in 2016 in partnership with Dana Air.
“I chartered an aircraft, that time I had made money from construction and I had been doing other things myself.
“Because I was determined to do what God was asking me to do because I was sure it was God clearly, there was no doubt,” he said. (GBN)
