TRANSCRIPT:
In
the year 2014, we had a lot of bloodshed in this country. People were dying
like rats without anybody asking about them. This country suffered a lot of
blood experience. Many of us witnessed that people were in tears. Just like
the ancient world, the year 2014, the 4 in it had the queen in it, which had
to do with death. Our leaders failedus with reckless abandon and nobody asked
them question.
The
so-called democracy was a hidden autocracy. It was deceptive and questionable
quack miler. Nigerians suffered hunger unnecessarily. We heard about oil
subsidy being removed and added, whatever be(is) their jargon, nobody
understood them. We heard about minimum wage, the civil servant suffered, the
minimum wage was not paid and we were all calm. In 2015, Nigerians will not
be calm again (shouts of AMEN!).
We
need change. Whatever it will be, let it be. This is my golden message to my
beloved country. What actually is happening (Ogini nne me?). The multitude of
our youths, the quality young men, quality young women, brilliants youths but
nobody has plans for any of you. Our so-called leaders should come and
apologize. In 2015, it shall not continue like that (shouts of AMEN).
By
the grace of God, by the power of the Holy Spirit, we are announcing
spiritually, change! 2015 should not be a year of any hooligan maneuvering to
hijack power. This is our New Year message. Listen, when you go home,
tell anybody you see that from the oracle of the Holy Spirit, we are announcing
change (AMEN). Can somebody help me to shout change (shouts of change by the
congregation) in Jesus holy name.
Look
at what it’s like, as I’m yet to bless your families, bless your industries,
bless your destinies. Come 2015, your plans are blessed, your vision are
blessed, your locomotive society are blessed. I cover this year with the
blood of Jesus. I seal this year with the blood of Jesus.
My
message is in two branches (folds). Number one branch, the theme of this
first message to my fellow countrymen is from good luck to bad luck. Once
upon a time, the whole countrymen were crying for a leader who will help us
move forward with our economy, have an authentic democracy, give our
unemployed youths jobs, enable our power to be steady, who will industrialize
Nigerians, who will encourage mass education and agriculturalize Nigeria.
Having in view that oil will soon drop, give us security in a maximum
level. By the grace of God, there emerged a Goodluck, all of us were happy,
the Goodluck met Yar’ Adua and Yar’ Adua died. May the Holy Spirit help me as
I utter this message, I know many will misunderstand it, but it will stand
the test of time and you will know I’m speaking the truth.
The
Goodluck met Yar’Adua and Yar’Adua died. Before you know it, the Goodluck met
our oil and the oil had a bad luck and poured away, before we knew it, the
Goodluck met our naira, our naira had a bad luck. Where are we going? What is
the fate of this country? Shall we continue like this, we need change (shout
of change from the congregation).
As
I’m speaking with you, most of our civil servants did not celebrate their
Christmas. The Christmas season that should be a Goodluck time became a bad
luck time for our Nigerians forgetting that very soon, from 3rd January, the
children will go back to school and the parent are going to pay school fees.
From where? Are they going to use their urine to pay? (Shout of NO from the
congregation). But where is the good water even if they are going to use
their urine. Are they going to use their stool to pay the school fees of
their children? (Shout of NO from the congregation). You have to eat well to
defecate.
What
is the fate of our children? Tears fill my eyes when I see our young
graduates hoping and walking our streets. What is the meaning of kidnapping?
Kidnapping is the grandson of unemployment. Boko Haram is a grand great child
of the same unemployment, mass looting, and poor governance.
I’m
not saying that Goodluck is a bad man. He is a good man. But he cannot lead
Nigeria. As things stand right now, from the oracle of the Holy Spirit,
Jonathan should honourably resign quietly and let Nigeria be. The destiny of
Nigeria is greater than Goodluck Jonathan. The Goodluck in Jonathan has
become a bad luck to Nigerians. Whatever brought him in should send him back
and let Nigeria be.
By
this time in few months to come, many are going to lose their jobs and there
is no alternative. During election, Jonathan will answer Azikiwe, Ebele and
become an Igbo man and after election, the Ebele, the Azikiwe and Goodluck
will vanish from his identity. Who is fooling who actually?
Look
at our federal roads, we are not even asking for new ones, roads built by
Buhari and Babangidas — the so called Hausa people— cannot be
maintained. Follow Enugu here to Onitsha, children born some years ago do not
know that there was a lane along the other side of Isiagwu and we are all
saying continue. The continuity of Jonathan means disaster to Nigeria.
We
need change. May the Holy Spirit help me to vocalize what he has shown to me
while I was waiting on him to give me a message for my people? I’m worried
about the future of you my children. Go to school, go to school, mention any
government school functioning in Nigeria now? Our schools are dilapidated.
Nigeria is like an egg about to break in the hands of Jonathan Goodluck and
we cannot allow it to happen. It is so unfortunate that pastors are becoming
vultures around the president. Pastors are becoming hawks around him, eating
the porridge of Jacob and selling their prophetic rights. And anointing is
being merchandised in Aso Rock, carrying our nairas, turning it to dollars
and carrying it in jets moving out of the country.
Listen,
this is the voice on the pulpit: all these men of God, who are telling
Jonathan to continue because they are benefitting one thing or the other, you
should question your apostolic, prophetic anointing. What the Bible say is
that Samson did not know that the Holy Spirit had left him. Let them watch if
the Holy Spirit is still in them.
Listen,
they will begin to tell us this one is a Christian the other one is a Muslim.
I don’t believe in that. Who is a Christian more than Judas? Did Judas not
betray Jesus? Judas was not just a Christian, he was not just a mere apostle,
he was a super apostle like a cardinal but at a time he messed up and Bible
says his office, let another take. That is the normal thing.
The
way Nigeria is going right now, the office of Goodluck Jonathan let another
take. I’m not campaigning for anybody. I’m filled with tears over what is
happening in Nigeria. Some of us who have nongovernmental organisations
funding charity, I know what I’m suffering. The more they are looting our
resources, the more they are rending you unemployed, the more some of us
suffer the more. If I have been paying for the school fees of 500 people, it
would now jack up to 3000, or more.
What
the government should do, individuals are struggling to achieve. When there
is no road, no power, all this fake promises… where is the power? That
Onitsha Bridge, has it now been built? No. After 6 years, and Goodluck has
what it takes to do whatever. He surrounded himself with hooligans. By the
time he comes down, he won’t have anybody to work with. He played himself
into the hands of hooligans.
My
interest is about the wellness of this country. Nigeria must survive what we
are passing through by the help of God. The same God who saved us from Ebola
will save us from this bad luck season (shouts of AMEN from the
congregation).
Look
at it, there was a time there was an argument about pension fund – such
billions. Who is talking about it now? Billions and we were hearing it… from
excess crude oil money, where is the impact of the excess crude oil money?
Now from oil boom, it has met a bad luck; it’s now oil doom. If my father
will be my leader and my siblings will all die, let a stranger be my leader
and let my family be. All I’m trying to tell you is that we have not entered
into any covenant with anybody.
Last
time, the First Lady came here. We are not partisan; we welcomed her. We did
a spiritual drama here. Lifted four birds to fly up, the main one that should
fly up refused to go. I did everything possible and that one is the
healthiest of them all but refused to fly and the spirit of God said, don’t
disturb him.
When
God rejected Saul, David took over. Let me tell you, in the history of
Nigeria, we have never experience bloodshed as we have in the time of
Goodluck. If Goodluck means bloodshed for Nigerians are you waiting until
your own blood is shed? (shouts of No from the congregation).
We
need change, however God will do it. Look at the insecurity if you go to the
northern part of Nigeria.
My
fellow priest, my fellow pastors, don’t just stand up to attack this message,
because you have mouth. Think well before you put your mouth, the voice is
beyond your own contribution. Listen, are you waiting for your own church to
be bombed before you speak out? If you go to Maiduguri, some parishes have
closed down. Go to Potiskum. People no longer go to church on Sundays in many
parts of this country. Now imagine a scenario where a president cannot fight
a simple insurgence. This is not an external country attack o. It is not like
another country invaded Nigeria. It is an intra distraction. And many of us
are claiming that it was because Buhari said that he was going to make
Jonathan’s government ungovernable. Listen, let’s assume Buhari said
something like that, even though it’s not Buhari who said it. So if you are
the president and somebody say something like that, will you not arrest such
a person?
