Maybe the words of certain Nigerian who lay claim to divine information access is gathering momentum to crystalize into reality.
Maybe the words of certain Nigerian who lay claim to divine information access is gathering momentum to crystalize into reality.
There have been such messages first fired sometime last year that the former dictator, General Ibrahim Babangida will return to power by renown prophet, Archbishop John Obiokeke and later followed by others.
This week, the same message got more impetus through the words of Rev. Moses Iloh, the head of the Soul Winners Mission, at Ebute Metta, Lagos. He bared all in an interview with Saturday Sun when he unequivocally stated that a gaze at the crystal ball have ominous signs that the dictator from Minna is into a grand plan to stage a comeback that might be signaled this year after certain expected political events must have come to pass.
Rev. Iloh said the beginning of the IBB return will be after the sitting president, Alhaji Umar Yar'Adua must have lost at the elections petitions tribunal.
But by his words, there are reasons to fear for the return which he sees as an intention whose foundation is laid in subtle grand plan to annex the minds and consciences of other people in the nation and bring them under a single cloak of creed. The cleric never waivered in this posture. He was rather definite that IBB knows of this plan, has perfected it with some other interest bodies with a sole intent - to islamise Nigeria and do away with any other major religion, especially Christianity. He sounds very sure of what he posits and holds that only a united front by the Christians not in arms, but in prayers, yes, fervent and relentless prayer under a unified front will turn back this impending plot.
Why IBB wants to come back
IBB is a very smart person. That man in Minna is so smart that he can outwit many and employ subtle means to bring about this plan that would not be for the good of the nation but that of a select few who are more interested in their creed sweeping across the nation than ensuring the development and peace of Nigeria. 'IBB has been picked as the person to make the actualization possible by his tricks. That plan is the main reason he wants to be back in power and it might happen this year".
Modus
The plan has a carefully organized approach that would look better than any other thing every played out in Nigeria. The implementors don't want to use force as that may backfire, therefore they have a welfarist package via an IBB government.
I want to tell you and indeed all Nigerians that if IBB succeeds in coming back into power, Nigeria will experience welfarism like never before. It would be so outstanding and astounding that many will glibly buy into it without minding or thinking about the final outcome.
There will be excessive welfarism by the government. The nation will see and experience great economic prosperity that would lead to abundance of jobs because there will be factories and other means of job creation. Even the price of petroleum products will crash as GSM charges will also tumble down.
Lured out of church
The availability of factories that would always be in need of hands will make people even have multiple jobs and anyone that accepts to work on Sundays will get double pay. That extra pay for Sunday works will lure many Christians to work on that day of worship that they would prefer work to church. As a result the churches will lose membership and a general negative impact will hit the Christian religion. Many members of churches affected or caught up in this scourge will justify their position by just sending their tithes and other monetary obligations to the church while they remain at work.
That will be the beginning of the perfection of the deal that will bring him into power.
Universities and banks
During this period, part of the boom will bring about the existence of four universities managed by USA investors. In fact, two of them are already in existence. The universities will have Islamic affinity but would teach liberal and general education. The standard of the universities will be unequalled in Nigeria and their products from Christian background will come out with their dedication and passion for the religion highly diluted.
They will become liberal Christians who would preach more of ecumenism and will argue that it does not matter the religion one professes. But in contrast, Muslim children who go through the same institutions will come out better and more dedicated to their religion.
In addition, there will be four prominent Islamic banks with its traditional friendly operation system based on zero interest loans and other humanitarian facilities. That will be another false incentive to lure more into the middle line. With all these subtle bombardment and ‘polite' coercion, people would not know when they are tactically taken over by others and their religious identity eroded.
Constitutional review
The landmark achievements from him, which will greatly impact on the common man will naturally secure a landslide victory for his second term. After IBB must have exhausted his first four years, and in the second year into his second tenure, he will initiate a constitution amendment that will expunge a two-term provision for the president. That will give him the latitude to recycle himself for as long as possible and have enough time to consolidate his plans for total islamization.
Yet, his manner of leadership will put many off guard and Christians will be the worst affected because their argument will be that he rules in accordance with the bible - in righteousness. During his third term, the full project of islamization under IBB will be completed. Before the Christians wake up from the slumber it would be too late. You can see that the policy now is not compulsion or the use of force but subtle conversion through a cunning approach.
Igbo, watch it
I feel worried by the erosion of the traditional religion of the Igbo race and how Islam is fastly encroaching on the Igbo. At places like Afikpo in Ebonyi State, Oguta in Imo State and parts of Enugu, there is this serious conversion of Igbo to other religions. Igbo is for chukwu, and Christianity is like part of us and cannot be taken away from us. Think about the possibility of Christianity taking over Sokoto for instance or other major Islamic regions of the north, you know that is almost impossible, so why should we allow other people subjugate us with their way of life. I must let you know that the Almighty in his infinite wisdom created people in their various ways and cultures. It is not his plan that our Muslim brothers all convert to Christianity because the differences are for good and not to severe smooth relationships but to signify the greatness of the creator. We want them to exist while we don't wish ourselves extinction.
It is in the variety of works that we appreciate the greatness of God in his works.
My plea with the Igbo is that they should check this dangerous erosion of their identity, and incase this plan to plant IBB succeeds, they should be wary and never buy into his gambit and Pandora box of welfarism whose intention is to take them away from their roots.
I feel worried because I know whenever IBB commences his campaign, the Igbo in their usual liberal or misguided attitude will rush to throw their support for him. They should watch and be wary of what this man plans against them when and if he gets into power. I don't want anybody to misunderstand me in this call, but let us rather allow and agree that all shall exist in this great nation according to their persuasions. Nigeria will be better and more peaceful that way than when annexation becomes a policy of state cloaked in welfarism. It is a sure fact that any day Islam penetrates Igbo, it then has taken over the entire nation, and that will not be good for us as a unified people and nation.
Stopping IBB
Is this plan of IBB return already definite and concretized? The cleric says yes. But there is still an escape clause - prayer, unity among the Christians and creation of awareness within them.
'The Bible says, if you shall agree and pray touching on any issue, that which you requested I will grant you. That is a sure promise from God. So through prayers, the Christians will stop IBB. I must say I prefer Yar'Adua to IBB because Yar'Adua is liberal minded and values much the rights and dignity of other people. He knows that God created all of in different ways for good, and that one trying to impose himself on others will cause a distortion and balance of the peace of the nation. But IBB considers his personal ambition only.
I am giving a message of what had already taken form and shape in the spirit world, but it is yet time for us not to neglect the message. It does not call for fight or agitation, but fervent prayers, carefulness and watchfulness. The Bible admonishes us to watch and pray to avert temptation. It is better we live like brothers without making efforts to impose ourselves on others. Let Christians unite when IBB jumps to the stage and stop him through due and democratic process. This will only be achieved when we drop the factionalization on denominational grounds. I would want every church to make it a duty in their gatherings to pray against an IBB coming back to power because he is up to some bad tricks, and even non-christian Nigerians who love the unity of the nation should join in the prayers because his plan will not be in the interest of the existence of the nation if carried out.
Yar'Adua a gonner
Every sign in the spirit tells me that the tribunal will never favour Yar'Adua. I have seen it and am convinced.
Apart from the spiritual convinction, there are the signs everywhere from the outcome of the tribunals sitting on so many other election petitions. Nigerians know there was no election in April 2007, and it is the same process that produced Yar'Adua, so he should be prepared to leave, and I know he would not appeal the judgment. Definitely, the tribunal will not let Yar'Adua have his way. Moreover, he has not been carrying along as someone who wants to hold to the seat incase of a re-run election.
The only fear I have about the Yar'Adua fate at the tribunal is the infiltration of the judiciary by the PDP. Yar'Adua may do well if allowed to continue, but that would amount to endorsement of the wrong procedure that brought him into power.
EFCC and anti corruption
The fight against corruption in Nigeria is a reasonable fight but I am not in support of the type of fight by EFCC and the federal government. The fight against corruption by EFCC is partial and unwholesome. Any reasonable fight against corruption has to be total and a Nigerian project that should involve everybody. It should be an all-hands-on-deck project where every Nigerian should be on and belong to the platform, but a situation where the government fights corruption through agencies without involving Nigerians as a whole will never yield good results.
The EFCC has been busy fighting unfavoured corrupt people while the rest of corrupt officials fight the fight against corruption. It is not a total campaign. That is why I support only a total fight against moral corruption that has rendered the society decadent. In a society where ladies with their education cannot get a job unless they accept to sleep with the boss is an abnormal one.
A Nigeria where parents assist their children to cheat and pass exams and bribe the teachers for the children has no hope. Rape is escalating everyday and culprits get light sentences of N2,000 fine and walk home free while the defiled child lives with the agony forever with a ruined life. I read in the news sometime that somewhere in the north some people have imbibed the notion that sleeping with a virgin girl is cure for HIV/AIDS and in the process such people rape innocent little girls, and nobody raises an eyebrow.
It is only in a deplorable society where assassins are paid to kill people who did nothing against them. I also read that about 300 women in prison are pregnant, and I ask how come. Who is responsible? Why is the involved authority not doing something about that or why did they create a gap for such occurrence?
That is the reason I don't support churches building universities with very exorbitant fees. I prefer we use resources for such ventures to influence the government to re-introduce moral education in our schools. Such education is supported wholly by our religions - Islam, Christianity and African traditional values, so why did we drop them for shadow chasing? It is a pity that today, churches are more interested in building mansions called worship places and totally neglect the building of human beings when they should actually create employment for jobless youths and other members.
The year 2008
This is a year when people who are ignorant of God will suffer terribly. The powerful, the rich and the privileged will do their very best to make things very difficult for the poor, but if the less privileged will get back to God, He will fight for them by pitching the powerful against themselves. He will cause a fight to erupt among them and through that liberate the commoner. On that note, 2008 is going to be a year of ease to the poor that does good.
But it will be a difficult year for the economy. There is so much stolen money in banks with which they trade and do their business, and it will be proper for the experts in our economic policy making to devise means of diverting this excess money into industrial development that will benefit the common man.
