Tibetan a retired Engineer with African
Timber and Plywood has revealed
some of the features that characterized his late wife Mother Celestial Funmilayo Maria Tibetan (Nee Lajuwomi) as the brand of woman the book of Proverbs chapter 31 from Verses 10 to 31 (Virtuous woman) is
talking about.
The elder Tibetan who despite his advance age still walks freely
and smartly without using a walking stick or being aided by anybody said the
goodness of his old age is as a result of the rare peace given to him by his 80
years old senior wife who passed unto glory on Sunday September 2015 and set
for burial next week in Ondo state. A Service of Song would be held in her
honor today in Lagos by 5pm.

“I met her
sometimes in the 1940s and since 1950, January 2nd when I married
her, she never punish me for once. Our 65 years old union has been a voyage of
peace because my late wife is a bundle a joy and happiness. With her in my
life, I had more than enough to eat and to live with; she was never a violent
woman but very peaceful like a dove, anything I tell her, she takes to
correction without complaining. She is a peaceful lady and again, she is not a
sick person, sickness has never been part of her and even the illness that
culminated into her death in September was something we didn’t envisage could
take her life because she is not a sickler. I though it was a joke, I tried all
I could to make her come back to good health but she slipped and passed away.
In a nutshell, my late wife is a virtuous woman.
She is a bundle of good luck.
She came into my family and never destroyed my family instead she blessed my
family; she didn’t embarrass her own family as well. If she goes see her people,
they value her like gold; even right now, they are already asking for her
corpse that they need it because she is a good ambassador of her family. Some
women in her family called me this morning, they were asking about my family’s
plan for her funeral but I told them to keep their peace and that is because my
late wife is a good woman. Even the church we are taking her corpse to in Ode-Aye,
if you can follow us down to Ode-Aye, you will hear what people are going to
say about her. I am talking of Gospel Faith Mission International, Ode-Aye, it
was founded by Pastor R.A. George
who happens to be her in-law and that was where we had our initial relationship
with Christ Jesus and that is where I baptized her. My wife is a very, very
good woman. I must confess to you and I think she has simply gone to rest with
the Lord because she worked for it; she was a true Christian who never
discriminate and she loved everyone that came around her”.
“This late wife of mine is a lucky
woman; since I married her, her good luck affected me in so many ways and
helped to bring good fortune to my life. If I leave her at home to go and look
for work anywhere, I will never return home to meet her without giving her a
testimony. I will always get the job and that is how you will know a lucky
woman”.

My wife’s good luck helped my career
wife touched and affected his life in their 65 years relationship “I worked
with AT & P Agbaje as an
engineer, it is a timber company where I worked for 8 years and from there I
resigned to join NARONI Timber Company
in Ondo state for years before I resigned again and I equally worked with African Timber and Plywood- Sapele, Delta state for years. I
always resigned from my work place, nobody stops me, if I work and I discover
that the job conditions are no more in tandem with my self worth, I just resign
and leave. God didn’t punish me in any way and man cannot punish me. This late
wife of mine is a lucky woman; since I married her, her good luck affected me
in so many ways and helped to bring good fortune to my life. If I leave her at
home to go and look for work anywhere, I will never return home to meet her
without giving her a testimony. I will always get the job and that is how you
will know a lucky woman. I got that luck through her and even as a Caterpillar
Engineer I never had the misfortune of doing a work that will question my
credibility in my entire career. I always had luck with what I do and I will
come back home happy. I worked in different places in Benin, Sapele and Ondo state and cumulatively I had
40years experience before I retired”

Why my son, Prophet Marcus is
controversial
septuagenarian to say his opinion about his World renowned Prophet son, Dr. MKO
Tibetan who is known for his accurate predictions globally and Baba began “You
see Marcus’ case is different, it is
true that he is my biological son but he is not my child. He is God’s child and
it is actually his name that defines him”. The Tibetan patriarch continued “The name God
asked me to give him when we had him is “Oloruntomisin” (God is enough for me
to serve). And it is that same God that we are all worshiping; when I look at
my son’s front and back, I always see a conglomerate of people both in the
front and the back of my son.
That name, Oluwatomisin kept defining him, that
indeed, God is enough for us to serve, nothing else. If not for his name that
defines him, it won’t be like that; because I trust God that Marcus is a good son. He is such a kind
child who has never punished me before, he is so kind, so nice and so
understanding. If I talk to him, he listens to me and he has done so many
things to ensure that I am healthy and alive. If I am ill, he doesn’t joke with
my illness. He will quickly do everything to be around me even if he is abroad,
he will travel down and until when I get well, that is when he will leave me
and go his own way. He did same for his mum and even weeks to her death, he
didn’t leave; if not for his anniversary abroad, he would have stayed by her
because she died a week after he left for Dublin. Now, is it food? I am even
over fed because he ensured that food is never in short supply with me, he will
never see me go hungry and are you talking about clothes? I have three boxes of
several expensive clothes that I don’t even touch.
“If I talk to him, he listens to me
and he has done so many things to ensure that I am healthy and alive. If I am
ill, he doesn’t joke with my illness. He will quickly do everything to be
around me even if he is abroad, he will travel down and until when I get well,
that is when he will leave me and go his own way”
Let me just be honest with
you, this my Marcus son is kind to
me and my prayer to him is that his own children too will be kind to him, they
will be his sword and stand by him in his old age, he will not die suddenly, he
will not be poor, he will not be a victim of sudden death. He will not use
black hair to go to heaven; another person will not take his stand in life. His
church will continue to expand. That is how it will be for him in Jesus name”

What People should know about Prophet
Marcus
word of advice to many in the society who takes his son’s courage as a Prophet
of the living God as rudeness “I will advice my sons’ fans and critics not to
get angry over his remarks or admonitions to them, it is not an easy task to be
truthful and sincere, the truth is always alien to many people, they don’t find
it easy to be told the home truth, that is why all the people who frowns
whenever he offers truth to them through his sermons, I do call them behind and
console them. I will say ‘please, don’t be angry with him, he is your own son
as well, kindly take to his instruction and follow him. If you follow his
instruction you will see the result,
either it is good or bad, you will know but that is the truth he just told you;
even me, his biological father, if I do any mistake, he will say to me ‘Baba,
you erred here’ and I will take it in my stride. I will say ‘I have heard you
my son’ and I will dutifully take to his instructions and even my own life has
tremendously improved by taking to his instructions. Why? He is gifted. He is a
prophet, what I don’t see, he sees. So, all the elderly ones who take his
courageous act for wrong, I do carry out a diplomatic offering to them and I
will say ‘is he not equally your son? And these things he is telling you are
not just about him, they are issues he backed up with Biblical quotations. That
is the same Bible that is older than all of us, the Bible which is not Daily Times Newspaper or exercise book,
he pulls his admonitions from the Bible’ and when I encourage them, they become
less angry and they keep following his truth. So, my own role is to console
those he preaches to and make them see reasons and benefits in his sermon. I
pray God will continue to emboldened him to be truthful and may his listeners
or members or fans continue to have the wisdom to tolerate and take to his good
admonition”

Why I am still strong @ 94
his gait at 94, walking freely without being aided. When we asked this question
from Baba, he never looked like someone expecting it as living healthy is
almost his second nature “Thank you my son, you see concerning that issue of healthy
living at this age, God did that one for me. That is one; second, a person must
not be too careless with the issue of health because health is wise. Don’t say
‘oh, I am now advanced in age, I cannot do anything again. It has to do with
your proficiency, with how you flogged your body at the initial stages of your
life. If you use yourself anyhow or you abuse your body in terms of input and
output, may God not let us become a sick animal”. Baba said more “When your age
advance, you must take things lightly and you are actually right to have said
people who are not up to me in age are already using walking stick to guide
themselves and other apparatus of convenience.
But that is not my own portion
because whenever illness pays me a visit, I tell the illness ‘look, I didn’t
bring that from heaven; I am not the one you came to play with, pack your
belongings and leave my house and God has always answered my prayer and gave me
the wisdom to chase away sickness. My body is always strong. So, I don’t take
my health care for granted. God did that for me, there are lot of instances I
have met face-to-face with death and I
commanded it to leave my way and it did, I thank God that I am not ill at this
age and phase of my life”

How my late wife got me a wife before
leaving
has a young wife, Madam Juliana Tibetan who caters for his needs. He told Asabeafrika
why he had to take a second woman “Why I married a young wife is
because the elders do always make a proverb in my town, they will say ‘one
single arm cannot put a load on the head. Even my own father married additional
two wives in his lifetime. And for me, it was my grand father who passed away
and my own mother was re-married to his son, just like it was the norm and
practice in the olden days in Yoruba land. I was the only result of that union,
the only child from the union. Just like the proverb I made earlier, a single
hand cannot lift a load unto the head. When I looked at the advanced age of my
late wife, she never ever offended me but her health at such advanced age called
for reason because I cannot be making any love to her again, we are talking of
a woman who has started seeing her grand children. In fact, she was the one who found the lady I
married and recommended her to me for marriage.
 |
| Pa Festus Okenola Tibetan |
She said it is not good for me
to be living alone and that I should marry her and I married her and since my
marriage to my younger wife, I started enjoying the union and there was nothing
like rancor between my first and second wife. Till she passed away, she was
giving my younger wife all the respect and my younger wife never looked down on
her for a single day. They didn’t create a scene for me and they both made life
peaceful for me because I didn’t even know I had two wives. It was in the
presence of this second wife of mine, all my children became successful. They
excelled in their education, in their chosen fields and in every other things
of life, the one who became a colonel became a colonel, the one whose ministry
is growing is doing great, none of their children died and there is no any
unfortunate person in my house hold. As I left town for the city to prepare for
my wife’s funeral, the home front is peaceful and thank God I married her, my
younger wife’s name is Juliana Tibetan,
she equally hails from Ode-Aye in Ondo state. She is kind and peaceful”.
