He Wanted To Emulate Jesus – Family Member Of Pastor Who Died After 30 Days Dry Fasting

Alfred Ndlovu, a popular South African pastor, has died of malnutrition after he fasted and prayed for 30 days, BuzzSouthAfricaNews reports.

Before his adventure, the 44-year-old pastor was said to have disclosed he wanted to embark on a journey of no food-no-water to emulate Jesus Christ’s 40 days and 40 nights fasting.

He allegedly left home for the spiritual journey on 17th of June and he took to the bush to conduct prayers.

Speaking on his demise, a close family relative was quoted to have said: “He was a very spiritual man. It’s unfortunate he had to die this way. After a month, we got the sad news of his death. He could not reach the 40 days, he died on the 30th day.

CAN Crisis: Northern States Reject Ayokunle, Says Maina

The chairman of Bauchi State chapter of Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Rev. Joshua Maina has claimed that the 19 Northern states have rejected the emergence of Dr. Samson Ayokunle as the President of the association.

Rev. Joshua who disclosed this to newsmen in Bauchi yesterday, said: “All the 19 Northern states were edged out of the process of the CAN President’s election. We suspect that there was connivance between the outgoing CAN President and some individuals are at the helm of affairs of the association.

“It is unfortunate that the former CAN President, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, manipulated the entire process and ensured that his deputy Rev. Dr. Samson Ayokunle succeeded him.

“If there is no skeleton in their cupboards why are they evading court order regarding the legal process of CAN election?”

He said: “We are not fools because 19 Northern states had supported somebody of Igbo extraction as CAN President. We are aware that other regions were later co-opted to join CAN, which has its roots in Jos.

“Out of the 30 years of CAN’s existence, the North has occupied the President’s position for only three years and we feel this is an injustice.”

Primate Ayodele Blasts Adeboye, Oyedepo, Kumuyi Over Silence On Killings Of Christians

Primate Elijah Ayodele, the Spiritual Leader of INRI Spiritual and Evangelical Church, Oke-Afa, Isolo, Lagos, in an interview with DAILY POST on Friday, condemned the killing of Christians across the country.

Ayodele while lamenting the recent attack on Christians also took a swipe at those he called “Big Pastors” for keeping quiet in the face of unabated attacks against the Church.

He said “They slit the throat of a woman preaching in Abuja; they beheaded a 74-year-old woman in Kano; they nearly killed another poor carpenter for not observing fast; they attacked a Church in the Niger for holding a service on Friday, and so on.

“Nigeria is getting to the edge; no more tolerance and we are moving on as if all is well”

“Last week, the Appeal Court ruled that hijab can be worn to schools. The Sultan came out and told Muslims that ‘if anybody does not want you to practise Islam, you can fight’.

“I read it on your DAILY POST and was shocked. I read it again.

“The fact that nobody has come out to say the Sultan did not say that means he was quoted correctly.

“Yet, I have not heard reactions from those who ought to have spoken. I am not scared of anybody, I will call names.

“People like (Enoch) Adeboye, (David) Oyedepo, (Folorunsho) Kumuyi, and other Big Pastors that people believe so much are holier than thou have kept quiet”.

Citing instances of contentious religious issues in states, Primate Ayodele said: “Imagine what is happening in Osun State. The government said female Muslims students can wear hijab to school.

“Somebody came out to say, ‘okay, Christians too should wear white garment to school’. The governor criticised him and so-called Christian leaders came out to say the governor is right.

“Also, this man in Kaduna, (Nasir) El-Rufai says you must have license to preach or do public religious activities.

“Only one man has been shouting…Apostle Suleman. He has been the lone voice fighting against the government’s pronouncement. Other influential Pastors have not uttered a word.

“Nobody is ready to bell the cat. May be they are thinking that they will lose rich members or their connections in power”.

“Christians are being killed. People who should be talking are just there looking. If these killings lead to religious war, nobody will stay. This country is playing with disaster”.

“Even though I am still watching him, the new CAN president must take steps to put the plight of Christians at the fore front,” he charged.

“We must harmonize in this country. There must be equity and balance. We must respect each other’s religion.

“A man like me is tolerant. I have Muslims who come to my church that I assist. We should stop all these signs of extremism.

“There is an inter-religious boy in place. We should do more to ensure peace exists because that is the only way Nigeria can fully attain its potential.”

Open Letter To Christians From A Former Muslim Man

Ishaku Abdul’rahman Mohammed, in an open letter to Christians claims to have converted to Christianity from Islam. He however advises Christians not to be lured to change their religion.

Ishaku narrates about the ways of Islamisation agenda in Nigeria in the first part, while in the second part he explains, with Islamic teachings why Muhammadu Buhari is making some of his moves without caring about the feelings and sensibilities of Christians in Nigeria.

In his letter which he addressed to senseless Christians, he said,: "From what I see today in Nigeria I am very certain that Muslims would not need to use a violent jihad to Islamize Nigeria. Christians themselves will be used by Muslims to Islamize Nigeria. Afterwards the Muslims will turn against the Christians that helped them. These are the type Muslims call the useful idiots.

"Just ask yourself how Muslim nations became Islamic nations? Is there any record of them doing evangelical work? Did they tell people about how wonderful their prophet Mohammed is? How he raped women? How he beheaded nine hundred Jews in one day? How he had sex with a nine-year old girl? How he was demon possessed for one year? How he could not perform a miracle? How he is a prophet without a prophecy? How he sold slaves for weapons of war?

"If Muslims did not do evangelism how come there are 58 nations of the world who say they are Islamic countries? Including countries that used to be Christian countries.

"Many Christians will be lured with money to change to Muslim and by boyfriend girlfriend and inter marriage. Remember, the project is being sponsored by Saudi Arabia and Nigeria government therefore; money to convert Christians to Muslim will not be a problem. Please don’t tell me you can never be lured with money." He said.

On the ways they intend to use in Islamizing Nigeria, he had this to say: "Buhari just registered Nigeria in the Islamic coalition against terrorism led by Saudi Arabia. The first major conference Buhari would bring to Nigeria is the International Islamic Conference".

"Muslims are now using El Rufai Kaduna state as a test case to see how they can stop Christians from preaching the gospel not even for you to listen to a gospel message in your car. Who knows they may even ban gospel music. Other northern states are copying Mr El Rufai’s law. Fulani herdsmen are sacking Christian villages in the north. The only minister to have died under Buhari happens to be a Christian. The only minister to have died under Buhari happens to be a Christian," he said.

Narrating how he converted to Christianity, Ishaku had this to say in his second letter,: "I used to be a Muslim but now a Christian. I have been in hiding because anyone born a Muslim and converts to Christianity has a death sentence on his head. It is even worse now that they know I have decided to reveal their hidden agenda to the Nigerian Christians who stupidly voted Buhari.

"So much has happened since my last letter and God willing, I will continue to educate you as things unfold. Please pray for me because the forces of darkness are arrayed against me for telling the truth. And if you ever hear that I get killed don’t weep for me. Just know I have finished my race and am with the Lord Jesus. The same Jesus I rejected all my life as Muslim. The same Jesus I called a prophet of Allah who is a little lower that the false prophet Mohammed. To Jesus alone to be all the praise, glory and honor for saving me from the satanic cult called Islam. I now worship this same Jesus and will do so till am expire.

"Muslims occupy a lot of high positions in PMB government
Have you noticed that whenever any Christian, occupying a high position in any government agency is removed only Muslims get to replace him or her?

"200 military officers were retired recently and guess what? They were either southerners or Northern Christians. As far as the northern Muslim is concerned, if you are a southerner you are a Christian. And being a Christian means you are the worst creatures of Allah. Now you may ask why that is important." He said.

"I want to advice Niger Delta never to disarm. There is what we call in Islam, the treaty of hudaibiya. This is the peace agreement that their prophet, Mohammed had with the meccans. The peace treaty was to last for ten years but Mohammed, seeing that the meccans had relaxed, launched a military campaign two years into the peace treaty and that was how Mecca fell to Islam.

"This was Yar A’dua’s plan when he gave the militants amnesty. Had he lived longer the amnesty would have been stopped. Buhari actually thought that the militants had fully disarmed hence he stopped the amnesty. I guess Jonathan by the leading of the Lord empowered them even more militarily before he left. Mohammed said war is deception."

"The GMD of NNPC Mr Kachikwu was just relieved of his position and guess who replaced him? Another Muslim. Now they have started instituting corruption charges against him. One down more to go. Soon Amaechi will go too. Almost every Christian is out of government. All the military chiefs are Muslims. Custom, immigration etc are all headed by Muslims now.

"Yet my fellow senseless Christians still cannot see what is happening. Did you know that the new IG of police is also a Muslim? Do you know how many senior officers were retired just to pave the way for the new IG? Guess the first thing he did? Accused the former IG of stealing 24 police vehicles. Thank God that alarm was proven false but they never give up. They must find some frivolous charges against him. Just wait and see," he said.

"Talking about a Christian president. Do you know that in Islam it is forbidden for a Christian to hold a position of authority over Muslims? Since they could not deny the achievements of our Christian ex-president Dr Goodluck Jonathan they spun a huge propaganda around corruption. He was vilified as the most corrupt president Nigeria ever had. The press had a field day reporting monumental corruption under Jonathan. They knew the only way they could get the attention of the Nigerian is to mention corruption and we all fell for the deception hook, line and sinker. I will be naive to say there was no corruption under GEJ. No government in the world can claim to be corruption free. Yet it was made to look like Jonathan had stolen the wealth of the nation and crippled the economy. Buhari made huge promises that got people ecstatic. He was seen as the Messiah. Nigerians refused to see the economic growth under GEJ," he said.

"Even when Nigeria was rated as the third and first fastest growing economy in the world and Africa no one paid any heed to it. Nigeria became the number one investment destination in Africa yet it seemed like it was all fairy tale. Today, just one year after GEJ we are no longer in the list of growing economies of the world. The effects are everywhere. The Nigerian economy is almost grounding to a halt. And guess what? They have now spun propaganda that what we are experiencing now is the effect of the misrule of GEJ. Again, Christians are buying this crap and swallowing it like a hot plate of delicious food. Eight months into the Buhari regime, the bureau of national statistics releases a report that over 4.5 million Nigerians have lost their jobs under Buhari. Time will fail me to expatiate," he insisted.

"Have you noticed how Christians and Muslims are treated when it comes to corruption cases? They go to the media to convict people of corruption and when they eventually take them to court and the court gives a verdict they don’t like the disobey the court order. Mr Fani Kayode was in detention for over sixty days. You were told that it was because of corruption. How many Muslims have been so treated? As far as I know. Only Dasuki is getting that treatment but again that is understandable. It was Dasuki, then a very junior officer that arrested Buhari during the Babangida coup that overthrew Buhari in 1983. Muslims don’t forgive. The god of Islam requires Muslims to take vengeance unlike our God that says vengeance is mine.

"The most unfortunate part of this is that we Christians use our values to judge Muslims yet we know absolutely nothing about their values. We don’t know anything about the tenets of that religion. Mohammed was a very vengeful person. He killed all those who made fun of him. Even those who criticized him. That is why Buhari cannot stand criticism." He concluded.

I Chained My Son Because He’s Possessed With ‘stealing Spirit’– Controversial Pastor


Francis Taiwo, the controversial Pastor of The Key Joy Celestial Church, who initially attempting to escape law enforcement authorities after chaining his 9-year-old son for several weeks, has confessed the reasons behind his action.

According to Mr. Taiwo, who was arrested on Sunday, he said, ‘I chained my son because I felt he is possessed and I’m not comfortable with his stealing habit,” a police source present during his interrogation quoted the suspect as saying.

He also told officials that he married Korede’s mother Marine Taiwo, from Delta State who bore four children for him before their divorce in 2007.

The 40-year-old suspect hails from Benin Republic, but was born in Ota Town of Ogun State. He said he rose to be a pastor in the Celestial Church, CCC, and was ordained in 2012 but the Church has already distanced itself from the controversial pastor.

“All we can say is that the man is not a registered – or recognized – pastor in the CCC,” a church official sent from the Lagos headquarters told journalists on Saturday.

According to a police spokesperson, Muyiwa Adejobi, Taiwo was said to be prosecuted once investigation is completed.
