In photos shared on his Facebook page, Raymond could be seen performing traditional rituals and presenting offerings while praying for blessings, protection, good health, long life, prosperity, and peace in his home.
According to him, the ceremony involved acknowledging Bini-Ebi and accepting her as his spiritual wife while also honouring the gods of his land.
Sharing the photos, he wrote: “Today, I returned to the river my forefathers and generations before them drank from, as I acknowledged my Biniere and accepted her as my dear and lovely wife, Biniebi, and all the good Gods of our land.
As I presented my offerings with a sincere heart, I opened the doors of blessings, favour, good health, long life, prosperity, and abundance upon my life.
The evil of everyone will remain with them alone. May the evil others plan against me return to them, while I continue to shine, prosper, and walk in peace—for I wish no one evil.
May the Gods of our land guide my steps, protect me, bless me, and enrich all that concerns me.
May my path be blessed, my home be peaceful, and my future be prosperous.
So I pray.
AMEN. 🙏🏽”
