Photo: Bishop Ajayi Crowther Translated the Bible In This House


It is the country’s second oldest storey building. Located in Ota, Ogun State, the Cathedral Church of Saint James (CCSJ) boasts of a history that makes it comparable to Westminster Abbey in London. It was here that Reverend Ajayi Crowther did the first translation of the Bible into the Yoruba language.

And what’s more, CCSJ still has in its possession items that were used by the very first occupants of the building back in 1842. The items include a chalice, a baptism bowl, two altar chairs, coins currency and other historical curios.

The historical, ancient and monumental items would have been more, but Reverend Steven Ayo Oluwawalemi, the cathedral priest, admits that some unknown people have made away with most of these items that should be national treasures.

  5. Olu, you are doing very well but you have to help us to keep this nude picture aside, so that both young and old will gain maximally from your site. Rihana has lost her dignity, every body knows, her own story should be things of the past now and all her mates.
