Femi Johnson Ajifowobaje was born on Tuesday, 17 June 1975 to the family of Mr & Mrs Ajifowobaje (who are fondly called Papa and Yeye respectively) from Osun State Nigeria. Femi attended Ereko Methodist Primary School Lagos between 1983 and 1988 for his Primary education. Thereafter, he proceeded to Okesuna High School Lagos from 1989 to 1995 for his Secondary education. He studied for a National Diploma at the Federal Polytechnic Offa, where he qualified as a Higher National Diploma holder in 2002.

Femi worked for different banks in Nigeria before taking a voyage to the United Kingdom in 2005, where he took different courses at the University of Nottingham until he decided that Nursing was his passion. Femi worked as a Care Assistant for some years and then decided to enrol to study for a qualification in mental nursing, which he graduated from in 2014.

Femi met Katlin, his wife in Peterborough while working together. They both moved to Nottingham and were married in 2006. They had their first son Simon Ajifowobaje soon after in 2006. They have thereafter had 2 more sons; Joshua and Matthew.

Femi was a devoted Christian all through his time in the UK. Once he made up his mind to serve God, there was no going back for him. He was the one who found the space where the church where he attended until his passing started. He has since worked with God as an Altar Minister and has touched many lives. He was relentless with helping others and was a burden bearer. His passion for people was second to none and many people have benefitted from his generosity. Femi drove the bus of the church and was also in charge of the ushers and the youths. He was the chairman of the board of trustees until his passing. He loved prayer and would engage in different prayer groups and was eager to know God the more. His thirst for God was second to none. He was also the convener and organiser of the yearly Family picnic held by his church and the mother-church. His passion for the lost-souls led him to join the Street-Pastors, where he offered his time, strength and comfort.

Femi was a family man and it is still a mystery how he could balance his work, family and the ministry. He loved his wife and children so much. He made sure he had time to play with the children. He would often take them out for meals and visiting with friends. He made sure his children attended church, no matter what. It can be said with all assurance that Femi died fulfilling his God-given purpose and that he died ‘empty’, giving all that he had to offer.
