Prior to the advent of Shafaudeen, the situation around
always arouse the curiosity of Alh, Engr (Prof) S.A. Olagoke, JP into knowing
more about God. Young Olagoke always
wondered why the country with so many Mosques and Churches continues to squalor
in the midst of abundance of natural wealth the nature is providing. Under this state, he lost faith in religion,
and then stuck to the fact that there must be a Supreme Being controlling the
whole affairs of life and death. He also
believed in the law of retribution and that under closely watchful moral
doctrines, one could find favour in God.
Standing on this without religious inclination made his friends referred
to him as a Godist.
Alh. Olagoke believes religion rhetoric is no more relevant
except at application level to promote moral, national cohesion, global peace,
through admonition principles of tolerance, religion cooperation and free
spiritual healing and for the promotion of socio-economic upliftment through
good governance. In 1983, God manifested in him, thus Shafaudeen came into
existence with five members for a start. The Organisation grows in strength
from Ibadan (the International Headquarters) to Ogun State (Ilaro, Abeokuta,
Owode, Ado-Odo, Igbogila), Oyo town, Lagos State (Ijanikin, Okokomaiko,
Race-Course, Ajah, Aba Oru, Adeleye), Osun state (Oshogbo, Ejigbo and Iwo),
Kwara State (Ilorin), Niger State (Katcha, Minna), Kaduna State, Abuja (the
FCT), Sokoto, and Maiduguri. It further

multi million-naira mosque to the glory of Almighty Allah in 2003, commissioned
by Chief Imam of
Ibadanland, Sheikh (Alhaji) Busari Haroon, and the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji
Ibrahim Zuluqarnaen Gambari.
As
part of the organization’s philosophy, arising from our vision, it is mandatory for all the organization’s branches
to embark on project of Mosque and Morkaz to enhance workshop and knowledge
continuity. The organization operates the use of the Holy
Qoran, Hadiths; Shafaudeen Constitution by which we registered with Corporate
Affairs Commission (CAC) in 1992,
and sets of Byelaws to regulate our routine activities. On empowerment needs of
people, this organization establishes: Shafaudeen Group of Schools, Shafaudeen
Medical Centre, Shafaudeen Vocational Training & Development Centre
