Hi JOHst, thx for the comment wrt Sam O. I have seen the spelling both ways I think. It could be like many words from other languages that there is no correct spelling. Do you have a reason to suggest that Oschoffa is more likely than Ochoffa? I'll check the main church web site. Maybe we'll use both?

- Hi Victuallers, DACB [1] presumes the spelling was transferred from the Yoruba Oṣofa to Oschoffa at the Mission School in Porto Novo where the Father sent him to. The religious scolar Afe Adogame (you also quoted him in the article) who did a lot of research about him and CCC consequently spells Oschoffa. (JohSt (talk) 20:46, 4 March 2010 (UTC))
