When Churches’ Become Fetish Ritual Dens — Tony Ogunlowo

In the past year or so there has been an alarming increase in the number of ‘churches’ that double-up as fetish ritual dens.

Corpses are being discovered buried in the foundation of churches and several so-called pastors have been caught making human sacrifices.

A church is a place of worship and the priest or pastor is supposed to be the person who ministers to the people about the Bible and Christianity.

Churches are sprouting up almost on a daily basis as people seek miraculous cures and fortunes more than the Word of God. As there is no way to check most pastors qualifications or track records, you’re at their mercy. Everyone is busy trying to find more powerful pastors to help them fulfil their dreams and most rely on word-of-mouth or recommendation.

Everything in life is supply and demand: people want things to happen in their lives miraculously and crooked pastors are only willing to supply the demand. It’s very easy for a babalawo or fetish spiritualist to dress up as a pastor, complete with cassock and dog collar!

The only question is where do they get their ‘power’ from? Certainly not from God.

It’s very easy for a fetish priest to hide behind the façade of an innocent looking church which becomes a prop that hides their true purpose. There will be candles, Bibles and prayer books. Hymns will be sung, prayers said and a sermon read. All in all it looks like an innocent church ceremony.

But behind the scenes what is the pastor really doing to produce his ‘miracles’ or ‘prophecies’ on demand? Churches are not factories that mass produce miracles – it’s simply not possible!

A lot of pastors get their ‘power’ from a number of questionable sources : some go deep into the forest to consult the spirits of the trees and rocks, others seek ‘power’ from the entities of the deep ocean whilst others use human sacrifices.

Human sacrifice is as old as the human race and certain ‘gods’ and spirits will demand an offering to grant the user certain ‘powers’. By burying a sacrificed human being in the foundations of a ‘church’ not only is the victims’ soul trapped within the vicinity it’ll also be used to draw people in and for no reason they’ll feel compelled to go to that particular church like moths are drawn towards light. Over time more and more sacrifices will be demanded and one by one members of the congregation will begin to die mysteriously, their souls captured and used.

It’s not easy to spot such wayward ‘pastors’ as audibly they’ll be reciting texts from the Bible like they are saints, for the benefit of the congregation, but in their minds they’ll be chanting invocations to invoke the ‘gods’ they are really using.

But the people themselves are to blame: ‘miracles’ don’t happen everyday in a real church but rather once in a blue moon hence the reason they are called ‘miracles’.

After some people die and go to the afterlife they’ll have a heart attack ( - if it’s possible!) when they won’t find themselves where they expect to be after a lifetime of going to ‘church’; many will argue that they were ‘blessed’, ‘baptised’, ‘anointed’ and prayed for in ‘church’. The sad truth is a lot of people would have unwittingly sold their souls to whatever their ‘pastors’ was really worshipping. When you start asking your pastor for miracle-this and miracle –that, he or she will never tell you, honestly, what the conditions are for what you’re receiving or what you ask for  – and most people, ignormous, won’t ask! You hand over your thick wad of Naira and you are told to come back in 7 days time to collect your soap, anointing oil or ‘holy water’. What’s in it you don’t know and you don’t ask.

And what’s to say your ‘pastor’ hasn’t got you in his sights for his next sacrifice to replenish the one buried under his church? How many people go missing in Nigeria every day and are never seen again?

Again I’m not saying all pastors are rogues and have dead bodies buried underneath their churches ; there are genuine pastors out there who have genuine places to worship and pray; it’s up to the  worshipper to be more discerning. If there’s too many weird ‘miracles’ happening in a church there’s something else going on – either trickery or the ‘pastor’ has got a fetish temple hidden behind the altar! But yet again if you’re looking for this sort of ‘miracles’ or you want some of the pastors’ ‘power’ you only have yourself to blame for whatever you get yourself mixed up in.

Gbenga Daniel Is Irrelevant, Afraid Of Shadows – Kashamu

The Senator representing Ogun East, Buruji Kashamu, has said he does not care if the former Governor of Ogun state, Gbenga Daniel, exists.

Daniel had written to the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, alleging that Kashamu sent thugs to assassinate him in his Abuja residence.

Kashamu has described the allegations as a “hoax” and described Daniel as “the accuser, the investigator, prosecutor and judge” in his case against him.

A statement released by the Senator’s spokesman, Austin Oniyokor, read: “Pray, why would Senator Kashamu go after a man who is at the twilight of his political career?”

“He is desperate to score a cheap political point and seek relevance for his dimming political career, he has to raise the false alarm and pin it on someone who does not even care if he exists.

“By the grace of God, the Distinguished Senator Buruji Kashamu is PDP’s highest political office holder in Ogun state despite the OGD’s (Daniel) efforts to make him lose the election.

 “So, why would he want to attack a former governor who has lost political relevance six years after leaving office? Is OGD the only former governor in Ogun state?”

The statement added that while Ogun “was under the siege of violence and politically-motivated killings” during OGD’s reign as governor, Kashamu “fights his political battles in the court of law and public opinion using his God-given resources.”

It noted that Kashamu, “does not” have any record of violence since he joined partisan politics – “a Spartan record OGD cannot boast of.”

“Clearly, OGD is hallucinating and afraid of his shadows. Otherwise, what would have been expected of sane mind was to report the incident to the police and allow them to do their job of investigating the incident,” it read.

“In doing this, he has assumed the role of the accuser, investigator and prosecutor or judge in his own case. What a childish way to play cheap politics!”

Buruji Kashamu Is Planning To Kill Me — Gbenga Daniel Raises Alarm

A former Governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, has petitioned the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Ibrahim Idris; and the Director-General of the Department of State Services, Mr. Lawal Daura, over an alleged plan to assassinate him.

According to The Punch, Daniel, in the petition, accused a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party and the Senator representing Ogun East, Senator Buruji Kashamu, of being behind the alleged plot.

Daniel in the petition, titled, “Assassination Attempt on my Person; Main Suspect, Senator Buruji Kashamu,” said that five hefty men, two of whom were in military uniforms and three others in black clothes, were at his residence in Maitama, Abuja on Thursday around 9:13 pm, and asked that the gate be opened for them.

The petition read in part, “The gatekeeper peeped through the pedestrian gate, asking for their identities and mission, they refused to wind down their car window. The gatekeeper then opened the pedestrian gate to continue with his enquiries.

“They asked for his boss ‘OGD’ (the acronym for my full name, Otunba Gbenga Daniel) and he told them that I was not at home. The five men instantly alighted from the car and pushed the gatekeeper inside the compound. They started beating him, saying he was lying and that they had information that I was at home.

“They thereafter asked him how many policemen were in the house and he told them that there were five. They asked him to show them where the policemen were. He led them to the Boys’ Quarters, where they found one of the policemen lying down. Then they asked for his service gun.

“He told them that it was not with him, then they pushed him inside the toilet and locked the door. They returned to the gatekeeper and told him to start showing them round the house, and where the other policemen were. They insisted that they had accurate information that ‘OGD’ was in Abuja and at home.”

He said that the alleged marauders were armed with pistols or shotguns, while one of them, who allegedly had a bigger gun, stood at the gate to watch as the operation continued.

He also alleged that Kashamu was the number one suspect in the alleged plan to kill him, adding that those sent to kill him were not aware that he had left Abuja for Ibadan to attend a political meeting.

He said the petition was written to alert the “the police authorities about the evil intention of Senator Buruji Kashamu” and to request for additional security protection.

“I want to inform the Nigeria Police and security agencies that they should put Buruji Kashamu on security watch list and under strict surveillance.”

Kashamu has, however, denied the allegation, accusing the former governor of having a sinister plot against him. He said Daniel could be using the petition to cover up an alleged plan to later attack him.

Kashamu, however, told our correspondent that Daniel was lying, saying he had never been involved in violence in his life.

He said, “I have never been involved in any violence. It is Daniel who is into violence. He is merely playing politics, and his actions are because of Ogun and South-West politics and the PDP.

“I was aware that he was at Ibadan with the Chairman of the PDP National Caretaker Committee, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, while  I was in my office in Lagos. He knows my house and we have been to each other’s houses on many occasions.

“The petition is all lies. It doesn’t make sense at all. I hope he’s not planning to attack and kill me. He could be using this as an opportunity to kill me. I can’t kill or be involved in any crisis, but I can only use the courts to protect myself. Daniel knows this.”

The senator called on the security agencies to investigate the claim by the former governor, adding that at the end of the day, the truth would prevail.

President Muhammed Buhari Addresses The Nation (Video)

President Muhammadu Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has issued a stern warning to agitators issuing quit notices to other ethnic groups in their region. In an early morning broadcast, Buhari stated that Nigeria’s unity is not negotiable. “Every Nigerian has the right to live and pursue his business anywhere in Nigeria without let or hindrance,''Buhari said. “I believe the very vast majority of Nigerians share this view. “Nigeria’s unity is settled and not negotiable. We shall not allow irresponsible elements to start trouble and when things get bad they run away and saddle others with the responsibility of bringing back order, if necessary with their blood.” “This is not to deny that there are legitimate concerns. Every group has a grievance. But the beauty and attraction of a federation is that it allows different groups to air their grievances and work out a mode of co-existence. “The National Assembly and the National Council of State are the legitimate and appropriate bodies for national discourse. “The national consensus is that, it is better to live together than to live apart.” He recalled his encounter with the leader of the failed Biafra Republic, the late Chief Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu in 2003. “After I joined partisan politics, the late Chief Emeka Ojukwu came and stayed as my guest in my hometown Daura. Over two days we discussed in great depth till late into the night and analysed the problems of Nigeria. We both came to the conclusion that the country must remain one and united. “I am charging the security agencies not to let the successes achieved in the last 18 months be a sign to relax. “Terrorists and criminals must be fought and destroyed relentlessly so that the majority of us can live in peace and safety. “Therefore we are going to reinforce and reinvigorate the fight not only against; “Elements of Boko Haram which are attempting a new series of attacks on soft targets, Kidnappings, farmers versus herdsmen clashes, in addition to ethnic violence fuelled by political mischief makers. We shall tackle them all. “Finally, dear Nigerians, our collective interest now is to eschew petty differences and come together to face common challenges of; economic security, political evolution and integration as well as lasting peace among all Nigerians. “I remain resolutely committed to ensuring that these goals are achieved and maintained. I am so glad to be home.”

Hon. Ladi Adebutu 2019 Aspiration Is Baseless

Ladi Adebutu

Charity they say begins at home, gone are the days when politicians sees themselves as semi-god, believing they can manipulate people with stipends as electioneering process approaches, surely all man has a price but not all man is for sale.

The aspiration of HON. LADI ADEBUTU who is presently representing Remo Federal Constituency at the hallow chamber, for Governor of our prestigious state called for sober reflection, we are part of his campaign team in 2015, his victory then was a collective effort of the youth/students which the name of the EMANCIPATORS GROUP cant be found wanting, His father's good name gave us bulk of votes, our day and night campaign was also channel to redeem his name, which was soiled as a result of his clueless personality and habitual outrageous outburst at his followers and elders. 
To be candid, Hon. LADI Adebutu lacks attitude and altitude.

Having been elected as Honorable of our constituency, there are 3 campuses within his constituency (OOU SAGAMU CAMPUS, OOU IKENNE CAMPUS GATEWAY POLY SAAPADE), he never execute a single project or honor a courtesy call from any of the students leaders in his constituency,as learned as he claimed to be, he value touts,okada riders above to the students constituency, there are many areas of intervention where we. Need him. He should emulate his colleagues like Hon. Kehinde Odeneye of ijebu central constituency.

In addition, Hon. LADI ADEBUTU political instantaneous statement with fake promises to his supporters before the election is now crystal clear to the blind, Hon. LADI ADEBUTU lacks retentive memory of who are with him before now, he only spend out of focus, extravagantly to the wrong zone.

Election of 2019 won't longer go like a tea party, but base on achievement, good reputation and commitment. We are saying capital NO to Hon.LADI ADEBUTU for Governor, he who neglected his constituency cannot maintain a bigger one talk less of a state. At the appropriate time we shall embark on house to house sensitization, so our people won't fall victim again. 
We are not scared of his dark angels and foot soldiers, If we die, LADI is involved.
