What we found
We searched for a Celestial Church of Christ parish named Temidire near the airport area of Ibadan and found no page, listing or address matching that specific congregation. The wider denomination is well established and genuine, founded in 1947 and headquartered in Benin and Lagos with a large following in Nigeria, and many other Ibadan parishes do have a visible online presence, such as the Yemetu archdiocesan headquarters and parishes at Ajibade, Apata and Odo-Ona (Facebook pages). The Temidire name appears in Celestial Church use elsewhere, for example a Temidire parish at Sango Ota in Ogun State and a Temidire Model Parish at Ile-Oluji in Ondo State (Facebook), and "Temidire" is also a common place name in Ibadan, including a Temidire area at Alakia off the New Ife road near the airport (map and hotel listings), but none of these links to the congregation given. The findings are summarized here for space; the full research was weighed in the review.
Our conclusion: The Celestial Church of Christ is a large, well-established Nigerian denomination founded in 1947, and our search confirmed several of its parishes in Ibadan, while "Temidire" is both a common Celestial parish name and a real neighbourhood near the Ibadan airport area, so the stated location is entirely plausible. No separate page or listing was found for this particular parish, which is normal for a small local congregation that uses a free Gmai
No further action is needed. This report is refreshed whenever the church is reviewed again.
