Augustine Togonu-Bickersteth,London,England
I" was " arrested" by an Aunt to attend Bethel Church ,Eti Osa,
somewhere in Lekki,Lagos as Pastored by Gabriel Oduyemi now late. He
described himself as "a Dunce at school" and "slated by the mafia in
New York city" I would not show up in his Church as my Aunt would have
wished instead I left for a Hotel in Ibadan for a Conference and Fell
into the hands of my Ex Lecturer Professor. Muyiwa Awe. This was our
first meeting outside the Lecture Theatre. The Next day I was in "My
owm" Church there in Ibadan and coincidentally I bought my first book
on Augustine of Hippo. It was whilst reading this book I began to see
the elememts of Augustine of Hippo in Muyiwa Awe of Ibadan. I also
discovered that Awe lives a stone throw away from my Church.
There are some interesting developments between Algeria and Nigeria in
respect of Muyiwa Awe and Saint Augustine. Augustine of Hippo and
Muyiwa Awe were born in November 13, 354 A.D. and November 13, 1932
respectively.
Augustine in the present day Algeria and Awe in Nigeria.
Both of them are Pastors and Professors.
Augustine, a philosopher and Awe, a physicist, Hundreds of years back
Physics was known as Natural Philosophy. Augustine was a womaniser and
Awe as an undergraduate was a member of the Society for the Study of
Sex.
Augustine" s Father and Awe"s Father both converted from paganism to
Christianity.
Augustine was a member of a gang boasting about crimes that he did not
commit and relatedly Awe was a member of the much-talked about Pyrates
Confranternity
. Augustine wrote the book, The City Of God. Awe wrote the book, The
Fatherhood Of God
Augustine has been described as a great genius and Awe, one of the
four geniuses from Government College, Ibadan. The others being Wole
Soyinka, Oludolapo Akinkugbe and Christopher Kolade.
Is Muyiwa Awe the Return of Augustine of Hippo?

Saint Augustine couldn't do it. But can someone else explain what kind of fruit Adam and Eve ate in the story? Think, read, and give the real explanation based only on the facts in the story. No guesses, opinions, or beliefs. We've already had way too many of these. Treat the whole thing as a challenge: you can do it! But first, do a quick Internet search: First Scandal.
