Great interview. Great man.
I can’t articulate my feelings with this work. This is beyond a Biography. It’s a Piece of Work for the Archives. Evangelist Korede, more grease to your elbows.

This is beyond a biography, it's a legacy of an icon that shows the path to legendary/kingship is founded on the Altar of sacrifice in sweat blood and soul.
I'm deeply moved and challenged to ensure that one's purpose in life is lived to peak in which both earth and heavens will attest. This is an archive for future documentary on the Personae and shaper of destiny of nations.
Thank you Baba Adetiran for who you are and where you are now to continue in the great journey of eternity.
Great work @korede and his team for this.
May God bless us all, the family of the Sage and the body of Christ.
Many thanks Bro Korede and the crew for painstakingly producing this masterpiece. This is really illuminating and inspiring. Just like the scripture posited, remove not the ancient landmark which the fathers have set (Prov 22:28), this production will benefit generations to come if Christ 2nd coming is further extended. Baba Adetiran was an enigma indeed and he lived purposefully. So many things to learn further as we grow up. May his soul continually rest in peace. God bless the crew.
Thank you very much for this great work, Evangelist, God bless you.
I am not sure you'ld get to see this comment, but if you do sir, could you please help upload the complete piece of the "Aye ti ko ni Jesu" song, sir?
The first two-three lines appear to be missing from the video you posted on Instagram.
Thank you once again for the great work you do in this fold; may God of our father S.B.J.O reward you abundantly.
Rest In Peace, music legend. Your works will continue to speak for you.
Sigh! Now I miss him more; may God bless his soul. Thanks you so much for doing this sir @Korede
