WE are in a very critical time in the
history of this country considering the problems of insecurity and other
challenges confronting the nation, what is the way out?
No one in this country is happy about what is going on at
present, including the leaders. That people sleep with their two eyes open for
the fear of unknown is really pathetic. Therefore, we the men of God are on our
knees daily, praying for peace and asking God to intervene so that this
bloodshed and calamity would come to an end. Every Nigerian should hold onto
God and keep asking Him for mercy. If the calamity that has befallen Nigeria is
due to sins of a man, may the mercy of God intervene, especially in this Easter
period. We pray and believe that one day, this nonsense will stop.
During church service on Sunday
before Easter, you got a revelation that there was going to be bloodshed in
Abuja on Monday morning and it came to pass. Tell us more about this.
I am a prophet of the Almighty God. We, the prophets hear
from the throne of Grace. After ministration on Sunday, I wanted to drop the
microphone but the Lord spoke to me and said: “Go back to the pulpit, that the
enemy was about to do something stupid, pray for safety, and about 1,000 people
at the church service saw me crying and asking God for mercy because I saw
bloodshed all over. God told me there was going to be bloodshed specifically on
Monday morning in Abuja, we prayed for Divine protection but the problem was that
there was no solution. Why this thing happened was because as at the time the
Lord spoke to me, there was no solution at all. One thing is for you to hear
the voice of God and another thing is for you to get a solution. Every prophesy
goes with assignment. I asked God, what will be the solution because every
prophesy must have a solution because when there is a solution, there must be a
redemption but when there is no solution, what God said will surely come to
pass. Everyone should be careful when they hear, “Thus says the Lord, He
has never lied before. More than 200 persons lost their lives but a 10-month
old baby boy was preserved. God preserved such person for a time like this just
as God preserved Moses. If this had happened without a prophesy, we would have
called it a disaster, but God saw it and used me His servant to reveal it.
Later on that Sunday night, God spoke that the only solution was for President
Goodluck Jonathan himself to be on his knees and call upon the name of The
Lord. That night, I tried calling the Presidency. I tried calling the Chief
Security Officer (CSO) and everyone I know to see if this message can get to
Mr. President but there was no response and it came to pass. So, there was a
solution but the solution was not carried out because of distance and security.
The incident would have been averted had the massage got to Mr. President. But
the problem is that the President is surrounded by people that are not born
again. He is surrounded by people that don’t give him the right information and
advice. The Lord says: “If the people that are called by my name shall humble
themselves and pray and seek my face, I will heal the land”. What we need
in Nigeria is prayers and not roadblocks. If we have 200 roadblocks, 80 per
cent of them are manned by Boko Haram. One day, I was going to Kaduna to preach
and a car behind me was carrying weapons and the driver was dressed in security
uniform. I stopped and told the policemen at the roadblock to search the car.
They asked me if I was a security agent and I told them that I am a Prophet of
God and the policemen replied, “Abeg carry your wahala pass.” Can you imagine
their response? But God had told me that the car following was evil. If the
policemen were born again, they would have listened to me. I called people
around the President and said, “Pass this message across to Mr. President” and
they said: “Oh, we have been hearing this.” Now it has happened. Caution is
better than sorry. Nigeria needs prayers and I believe God will fight for us. The
way out is for every child of God to call upon the name of the Lord for this
calamity to come to an end. Nigeria needs God. You, the journalists need God so
that this calamity will come to an end.
What in your opinion is responsible for
the insecurity and other challenges facing the country today?
Every government that had existed in this country had
something that followed them. There was a time we experienced flood and
kidnapping and now it is Boko Haram. I don’t think it has anything to do with
the inability of government to provide employment. Nigerians can cope with any
situation. There is the hand of the devil involved in all of this because a
righteous man is on the throne. All these things are happening because a man
chosen by God is on the throne.
What makes you think that President
Jonathan is chosen by God?
Yes, Jonathan did not become a president by election. He
became a president by prophesy. Once anyone becomes a leader by prophesy, there
would be battles around to pull him down. That is why anyone trying to oppose
his election is wasting his time because the country needs good luck. President
Jonathan is a gift to this country and it was a prophesy that brought him
there.
Which prophesy brought him into power
and through who?
God spoke, I don’t know, but I have served this God for the
past 25 years. If anyone wins election, what we do is to pray for the person
and ask God if the person is the right person to be there. After the death of
President Yar’adua, I did a four-day prayer with 29 prophets from different
parts of the country. We met at the Camp of Faith, Okigwe and we told God that
if President Goodluck Jonathan is not the right man to rule this country, let
death snatch him. But on the last day of the meeting the Lord said: “That is my
chosen one. This is why, no matter the battle, no matter the arrows shot at
him, they will never affect him because the hand of God is upon him. I am not
saying this for any gain. The President is not my church member, he has never
given me any kobo but he is the chosen one.
But is it not contrary to what is
written in the Scriptures that when the righteous is in power, the people
rejoice?
The people rejoice truly but there are enemies that would
fight. When Jesus was born, Herod stood up; he killed a lot of people because
Jesus was coming to be king. It is Biblical. People paid with their lives. Look
at what happened. A lot of people died, but a 10-month old baby was saved. God
is involved. We are not talking politics, we are talking about saving of lives.
When Jesus was born, a king was angry and he slaughtered a lot of people
because the chosen one was about to take over. We have been talking about
peace, but to bring an end to this ugly situation, we need God.
Do you think government is doing enough
to address the insecurity problem in the country?
The President declared state of emergency in three states
in the North East but the attacks are still going on. Government acquired bomb
detectors and other gadgets but the thing is still happening. That is not what
we need. Let Christians and Muslims, religious leaders in this country come
together and call upon the Lord with one mind. Who is Boko Haram? These are
human beings and they are being sponsored by some individuals to deal with
government. If these terrorists are killing senators, I wouldn’t have prayed,
if they were killing the leaders, no problem. But they should stop killing
poor, innocent people. They should stop setting bombs in Nyanya where poor
people reside. I am talking to you because God wants me to reply, I have
received a lot of calls since that Monday, people crying and asking me what
would be the solution. I have been a prophet for 20cyears and I know what God
can do.
Should President Jonathan run for
re-election in 2015?
If President Jonathan has not declared whether he will run
or not run for 2015 election, then something is wrong.
But do you think it is necessary for
President Jonathan to contest the 2015 election?
I said Jonathan is still the President. Any election coming
next year is just a mere exercise, it is just to fulfill the law, he is still
the President, that is just it. I said he is the chosen one, he must complete
his eight years. It is turn by turn. Others have done their part, lets leave
the man to do his. The preparations by the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) are just like when you put on a generator, you must switch it
on for light to come. INEC is a generator, if they fail to conduct the
election, it is against the law. There must be election, so let Attahiru Jega
do his preparations, but Jonathan is still there.
Are there issues you would want
deliberated upon at the on-going National Conference?
What this National Conference should talk about is for us
to love one another. They should dwell on it. What they are talking about now
are their own topics, they talk about peace and security but some of them came
to the conference with 10 policemen. A senator has so many policemen
guarding him, so what we need is love for one another.
Some people predicted that Nigeria would
disintegrate by 2015. What is your take on this?
Predicted or prophesied? No, anything that is not prophesy
cannot happen. I don’t know anything about predictions, I am a prophet, I
believe in prophesy and anything that is not prophesy is not me. ‘Thus says the
Lord’ is what we stand for and God has not said that Nigeria would
disintegrate. It is a lie, God has not spoken. If God says it will happen, then
it will come to pass, but God has not spoken. For us to continue as one
indivisible nation, we need God.
Why do they call you a prophet because
most Nigerians don’t believe in that title, while some say what we have are
false prophets?
You want to know why I am a prophet? Why are you a
journalist? If people are saying false prophets, we equally have fake
journalists, fake presidents, fake doctors, fake lawyers. We have fake in
everything but you don’t expect the whole world to believe in what you believe.
What massage do you have for Nigerians?
Peace, togetherness and love, that is what I wish Nigerians.
