Aseme Alabo Brown, the Chief and Head of the Buoye Omuso Brown Major House (BOBH) of Finima, described the distinctive characteristics of the Finima Community and stated that “no be me do am, na God” could have created them. My testimony is, “What do I say to God?,” or “Ate duo Tamuno Piribem?”
“As a result, I urge us to praise God slowly. I’m not alone as long as Jesus is here with me. That is my testimony, and it is based entirely on grace. According to the Bible, God, not man, is the one who extends mercy.

He stated that “there were always those who were better than me or ahead of me,” adding that “from my educational qualifications to ascending the stool as Chief and Head of the Brown House, it was God’s grace that has always propelled me.”

“Mercy and grace go together; grace and faith go together; everything about me is God. Everything I have gone through and experienced in life has been by grace because, when I consider all the locations I have been, from school to being the Amadabo, I see that it is God.

The vicar of St. Patrick’s Anglican Church in Finima, Ven. Promise Jaja, delivered the homily. He urged everyone to follow in the footsteps of Aseme Alabo Brown and “make Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour” by attending the event.

“I have observed many admirable traits in him, but his love for God is the one that moves me the most. He is quite humble and loves God. His entire existence is centred on God’s grace.
