14YS TODAY,...14YS TODAY....14YS TODAY,..DIDUN NI IRANTI OLODODO..R.I.P Alexander Abiodun Adebayo Bada was the second leader of the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide (CCC). He was appointed head of the church after the death of the first pastor and founder Samuel Bilewu Joseph Oschoffa. Although Badas appointment was somewhat controversial, he led the church as pastor and supreme head from his appointment, barely three months after Oschoffas death in September 1985, until his death on September 8, 2000. Bada was born in Lagos on December 4, 1930. His parents were Chief Benjamin Omotona Bada and Janet Abebi Bada. Both came from Ogun State, Nigeria, but while his father was from Abeokuta, the capital city of the state, his mother came from Ijebu-Ode, another large city in the state. She was of the Oriola family, Isokun, Ijebu-Ode. Badas father was the the baale (paramount head) of Ago-Oba, his own area of Abeokuta, and a former president of the Ikeja customary court in Lagos. Badas father was also the organist of the African Church, Ereko-Lagos, so Bada was born into the African Church. He grew up in the denomination and remained an active member until he joined the CCC between 1951 and 1952. His mother, who was born and raised in a Muslim family, was converted into Christianity upon marriage. She later became a Lace superior elder sister and the matron-general of the CCC. Bada received his elementary education at Saint Johns School, Iloro, Ilesha from 1936 to 1942. His secondary education was at Ilesha Grammar School from 1943 to 1949, and there he obtained the Senior Cambridge School Certificate. Upon leaving school in 1950 Bada worked with Nigerian Breweries Limited and attained the position of supervisor in the Stock Control Department in 1952. Bada died in Greenwich Hospital, London, on Friday, September 8, 2000, after a brief illness at the age of 70, having led the church for fifteen years.
