Elijah Oluwagbemiga Adeboye, aka the king of Oduology, was one of the best On-Air Personalities Nigeria has ever produced. His reign came at a time when broadcasting via radio was popular in Nigeria as only a few homes had access to television then.
Adeboye was the chief host of a radio program presented by Lagos State Broadcasting Corporation in the early 1980s, where he earned the name Funwontan Oduology.
