Nollywood actor Adewale Alebiosu, widely recognised for his roles as herbalists and Ifa priests on screen, has stepped into a new chapter that may surprise many of his fans.
In a video shared on his TikTok page on Thursday, September 10, 2026, the Nollywood actor appeared dressed in a white garment and made an earnest appeal to the public for support in establishing a church. He was clear that the clip was not a skit or a performance of any kind.

Alebiosu revealed that he was formerly a Muslim before someone invited him to a church, which led to his conversion. He added that God had been calling him to start a ministry for some time, but he had been reluctant to answer. Now, he says, that period of hesitation is over.
"But now I am fully ready to start the work of God. Please, if there's anyone that can help me with a landed property in Lagos state that I can be using as our church centre, have mercy on me. God said it is time," the actor said.
The actor stated that God has great wonders to accomplish through him and that he is now committed to fulfilling that purpose. His appeal was specifically directed at anyone who could help him acquire land in Lagos state as a base for his congregation.
In related news, Legit.ng reported that actress-turned-evangelist Tonto Dikeh faced criticism for starting a prayer ministry.
