He went on with farming and hunting expedition until an event occurred that changed his life and gave birth to Okhue on April 6, 1959.
In an interview with Vanguard newspaper, Okhue Iboi disclosed that “When I was born, I came from my mother’s womb with some mystic objects in my hands. I had fresh leaves in my hands, which was a prelude to what I am renowned for today as an herbalist.
“Mysteriously at age two, I disappeared from my mother’s bed while we both slept at night and, for six months, there was no trace of me.
“My parents were scared, they sought spiritual intervention and the oracle confirmed that I was well and safe in the hands of my spiritual guardians, where I was understood to be undergoing spiritual purification and preparation for my earthly mission.
“The oracle directed my parents to always place my food daily at the place I was always eating in the house.
“They complied and the meals would disappear without them knowing who ate it. By the end of the sixth month, I was suddenly found lying beside my mother on the day I exactly clocked three years.”
Okhue Iboi was a wealthy man with three daughters and a son who are all university graduates.
