Abejoye is a long-running Christian drama series produced by Mount Zion Faith Ministries in collaboration with Flaming Sword Ministries. The series follows Olayiotan Abejoye, a Yoruba chief and former traditionalist who converts to Christianity during a stay with his son’s family in the United States. Previous seasons explore the clashes between his traditional beliefs and his family’s Pentecostal faith, his eventual surrender to Christ, and the consequences upon returning to Nigeria, including opposition from village forces.
Season 9, the latest instalment, premiered its first episode on December 14, 2025, on the Damilola Mike-Bamiloye YouTube channel. Released during the festive period, it continues the narrative from Season 8 (which concluded earlier in 2025). The series typically builds on themes of faith, redemption, family reconciliation, and spiritual warfare, blending Yoruba cultural elements with evangelical messages. Early indications from the official trailer and announcements suggest ongoing challenges for Baba Abejoye as he navigates his transformed life amid lingering traditional influences.
The core cast includes Mike Bamiloye as Olayiotan Abejoye, the central figure whose portrayal anchors the series. Gloria Bamiloye often appears in supporting roles, alongside recurring actors such as Adegbenga Adeboye and Samuel Obikoya. The crew is led by Mike Bamiloye as writer and executive director, with contributions from Damilola Mike-Bamiloye (producer and director on episodes) and directors like Isaac Femi Akintunde and Wole Adeyi. Music and soundtracks frequently feature original compositions from JayMikee (Joshua Mike-Bamiloye).
Episodes are released sequentially on YouTube, making the series accessible for binge-watching prior seasons while catching the new one.

Abejoye Season 9 is available for stream on Damilola Mike-Bamiloye YouTube channel.
