That turned his life upside up for good for the rest of his life in Christ Jesus. He was baptized in Buguma Baptist Church in 1971. He came to London in 1978 for further study, and his wife, Samba, joined him in 1980. Since 1987, he worshipped in Herne Hill Baptist Church in London and has been a deacon, elder, lay preacher, and service leader. He also became a director of the London Baptist Association and attended the Council of the Baptist Union of Great Britain (BUGB).
His wife, Samba, and children Ari-ibite, Tamuno-karinama, Tamuno-dikibujiri, and Daa-ebube perceived God’s call for him and encouraged and sponsored him to complete a certificate of higher education in religious studies from Birkbeck College and MA in Christian theology at Heythrop College (University of London in 2010 and 2015, respectively). Among other professional and academic qualifications he has obtained, Ibim completed his MSc and PhD in 1989 and 1990 respectively at the University of Wales, Cardiff.view less
