BISHOP OYEDEPO AND APC’S LIES – THE GATES OF HELL WILL SOON OPEN!

On July 10 2014, Bishop David Oyedepo paid a courtesy visit to Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State in Osogbo the State Capital. Being a few weeks to the August 9 elections, the media space was quickly put awash with news of Bishop Oyedepo endorsing the candidature of Aregbesola. The Living Faith Bishop in his speech said, “any governance that is producing results and affecting the lives of vast majority of the people, must be deeply appreciated” (http://www.naij.com/69451.html). This sounded to all supporters of Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola as a direct endorsement of the candidature of their Principal. I remember how most of my Facebook friends began quickly sharing the picture below:

How can one blame a servant of God for saying in clear terms what he feels about the administrative style of a Governor? Isn’t it the role of Prophets to say the truth as they are divinely inspired or as they may humanly feel? It was personally painful to me at the time, probably because I supported a different candidate at that gubernatorial poll. Yet, I had no divine right let alone human right to castigate this very revered Prophet for speaking his mind....or the mind of God as the case may be.

WHY FEBRUARY 14 WILL BE A ‘DO OR DIE’ AFFAIR.....MUST READ!

In two of my posts in the month of December of the year 2014, I asserted that history truly matters. In our National consciousness, the reported experiences of our forefathers have continued to shape our policy formulations and strategic approach to the future. Agencies of Government make budgetary and administrative forecasts based on figures from previous years, even the CBN formulates policies based on historic economic behaviours and patterns. We are indeed a nation under the guidance of historical lessons.

I have heard people discuss time and again  how bloody the February 14 Presidential elections might turn out to be; some people, including yours sincerely, have even gone ahead to say Nigeria might cease to exist after February 14. Even these fears are factors of our conscious remembrance of such heated elections in the past. Worse still is the fact that the fight for the Aso Rock seat will go down to a straight tussle between the core-Hausa North, and the minority South-South. While the former wants to return to power because they believe in some ways that they were born to rule, the latter are desperate to keep power for another four years because they feel whatever be good for the goose, has to be good for the gander. The tussle is fully on and one must say with all sincerity, that the factors responsible for the imminent danger are more North-ish than a factor of the South-South people.

APC AND OGUNDAMISI'S LIES AGAINST BISHOP OYEDEPO....WHEN WILL THEY STOP?

Yesterday, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan paid a visit to the congregation of the Living Faith Church Worldwide at Canaan Land, Sango-Otta. In his sermon, the President and Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church declared that "All those opposing and against the peace of Nigeria, God would open the gates of hell to them." This was a passionate prayer for our dear country, one that all watchers of Nigerian politics should say a loud amen to.

I WOULD JAIL FEMI FANI-KAYODE AND BOLA AHMED TINUBU FIRST – TAO

“To the angel of the Church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first. Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching, she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling....” – Revelations 2:18-21.

You probably read the above quotation of the scriptures and began wondering why I went to such great length to extract that passage from the Holy Book. But, to Goodluck Ebele Jonathan GCFR I write: Your struggles towards building a Nigeria where all and sundry can mutually succeed and co-habit has been seen. The development across all spheres of the nation’s economy is such that lays a solid foundation for the success of Nigerian citizens. We see your labour of love, your ceaseless strengthening of the government system towards closing all the loopholes through which funds are being siphoned out of the economy; we see your fight against corruption via the re-definition of government agencies and development of a public administration system with no flaws. We see them all, I particularly.

BUHARI, ASARI AND THE PLOT TO TEAR NIGERIA APART

When I alleged in my last Facebook post for the year 2014 that Nigeria may likely face a graver wave of insurgency or civil war or militancy in 2015 as a resultant effect of whatever the outcome of the February 14 elections may be, some overzealous Nigerians began calling me names. Let me remind you of one saying that I have kept faith with in my last two articles; History truly matters. Those who fail to take the lessons of history seriously are planning to go into oblivion. There is a new lesson that history is presenting before us today.

THE SOLUTION TO NIGERIA’S PROBLEMS...

Like I said in my last piece titled ‘If not Omisore, then not Buhari’, history truly matters. I was delighted when Adeyinka Grandson shared this last piece in its entirety on his Facebook wall, for one, I felt someone was beginning to appreciate the nature of my work and its strategic importance to the orientation and enlightenment of the voting populace. However, I was dazed and awe-stricken when I began reading the comments that immediately followed. My attention was particularly called to one Julius Oyeyemi who accused me of not proffering any solution to Nigeria’s problems. He said I was only criticising and offering no way forward. To him therefore, the one who requested that I proffer solutions to the nation’s problems that this piece is dedicated!

IF NOT OMISORE, THEN NOT BUHARI!

History truly matters. The legal luminary, Chief Ajibola Ige was gruesomely murdered on the 23rd day of December 2001. Unfortunately or maybe as a rebound of Kharma, Otunba Christopher Iyiola Omisore who had been prior to that time, the estranged deputy Governor to Chief Adebisi Akande was widely believed to have been responsible for the assassination of the legal icon.

As is the characteristic of most Nigerians, Otunba Omisore was widely condemned in the Court of public opinion, earning for himself diverse name tags, from ‘killer’ to ‘tout’, to ‘murderer’ and their more horrible cousins. It is however worthy of note, that till date, Omisore is yet to be found guilty by any Court of competent jurisdiction and as such has not been legally named the murderer of Chief Ajibola Ige. I believe in all objectivity, that Otunba Omisore was easily singled out and consequently imprisoned as the culprit because he was already engaged in a running battle with the Afenifere leader. It was easy to believe he could kill Ajibola Ige because it was possible for him to molest the old man and uncap him at an event in Ile Ife just a few days to the gruesome murder.
