AN ENTREPRENEUR

Her message is clear: you can thrive in business and still be true to yourself and your faith.
She is the founder of Selah Foods and Products, the company that produces the widely known Shea Baby Products.
A PASTOR
In July 2021, Mrs. Adenike was ordained as a pastor by Bishop Abraham Chigbundu, Presiding Bishop of The Voice of Freedom Ministries International, during a landmark mid-year conference at Calvary Bible Church, Idimu. This ordination was not just a title, it was a public recognition of a lifelong calling to teach, lead, and shepherd women with biblical truth and deep compassion.
She leads with wisdom and spiritual authority, helping women navigate real-life challenges through God’s lens. Through her El-Roi Ministry, she ministers to men and women seeking healing, hope, and restoration, reminding them that the God who sees is still writing their story.
A WIFE AND MUM
Beyond the platforms and pulpits, Chief Adenike Olumide-Emmanuel is first and foremost a wife and mother, roles she cherishes deeply.
She is married to Pastor (Dr.) Olumide Emmanuel, a respected global speaker and visionary leader, and together, they have built a home founded on faith, mutual respect, and purpose.
Their union is not only a partnership in life and ministry, but a living example of godly marriage, one where both vision and love thrive.
As a mother, she is nurturing, intentional, and deeply involved. She believes in raising children who are spiritually grounded, emotionally secure, and purpose-driven.
She brings the same passion she has for mentoring women into her home, speaking life, truth, and confidence into the hearts of her children.
For her, motherhood is not a detour from purpose; it is an extension of it.

The Adventurer
She’s not just powerful, she’s bold. Mrs. Adenike once went Skydiving, embracing adventure as a metaphor for life: sometimes, you have to take the leap, trusting that God’s got you. Her life reflects courage in action, stepping out of comfort zones and helping others do the same.
