"Well done, good and faithful servant." Matthew 25:23(KJV)

While enjoying the peace and tranquility of one of his favorite vacation spots, God chose to escort his servant, Prince Dr. Joseph Adegboyega, into eternal rest. Affectionally called "Dr. Joe" by most, his humble spirit, his kindness, and his attentive nature will be missed by all.

Dr. Joe began his earthly journey in Lagos Nigeria, the son of Prince Raphael Ayodele and Esther Abiola Adegboyega under the royal family name of "Jimekum" Royal Ruling Family, Ondo State, Nigeria.

Throughout his life, Dr. Joe, obtained various degrees and certifications which led to him becoming a licensed therapist and a clinical supervisor. Dr. Joe was passionate about his work and profound accomplishments in this profession, and he found great joy in training others to become therapists and counselors.

Dr. Joe attended St. Matthew's Primary School in Ondo, Ondo State, Nigeria and St. Joseph's College (High School) in Ondo. In August 1973, he left Nigeria for Nice, France to further his education. In France he attended the University of Toulouse where he received his Bachelor's degree in Accounting and his Master's degree in International Communications. Dr. Joe received his Doctorate degree in Psychology at Barrington University in the State of Alabama, U.S.A.
