For about four years now, the JTF have occupied the streets of Maiduguri without yielding desired results. Let’s look at other options as only a fool will repeat same tactic and expect to get a different result.
For the first time since he was elected President in 2011, President Jonathan visited Maiduguri and Yobe states, the epicenter of Boko Haram insurgency. The president visits I can say is not a genuine plan of the country’s leader, but one borne out of shame because 10 Governors of the yet registered opposition party, APC visited the state a week before his own visit.
The President’s Special Adviser on New Media, Mr Reno Omokri had contested that it was the president that leveled the playing ground for them to visit, forgetting that another media aide to the president, better known as attack dog Doyin Okupe as vehemently criticized the visit and said the governors went to the state against the advice of security agencies. Even the president himself described their visit as political decision to score cheap vote. I now wondered why he had to visit the state with such security personnel, when he eventually decided to.
Why would you, Mr. President, want to outsource your responsibility to Borno Elders, saying that “unless the elders of Borno condemn and fight Boko Haram, the people of the state shall continue to suffer from their attacks”? Is this meant to be a curse? If condemnations drudges, you would have been the Best President Nigeria has ever had, because at a point in time when the attacks was so rampant, the Presidency had a standard monochrome for condemning attacks that requires only date, venue and number of victims changed, whereas the atrocities by the terrorist group continued unabated.
Mr. President, Sir, the elders of Borno do not have such requisite powers to fight or even curb the onslaught. The law vested such powers on you, unless of course you wish and decide to outsource it.
President Obama halted his eleventh hour campaign in 2012 to visit victims of Hurricane Sandy with death toll of about 38, but the insurgency in Borno and Yobe which claimed about 4,000 innocent lives has got little of Jonathan’s neurasthenia. This explains the price tag you placed on a human life.
Mr. President, Sir, your visit to Borno and Yobe will be insignificant if after all peace is not restored to these states on the long run – Be it amnesty, repartee or dialogue, something must be done to relieve these folks of the anguish.
His Royal Highness, the Shehu of Borno rightly said “what peace cannot achieve, violence and intolerance will never achieve it”. Believe you me, the Joint Task Force has killed more innocent souls than Boko Haram upsurge. Hence it cannot be a solution to this menace.
For about four years now, the JTF have occupied the streets of Maiduguri without yielding desired results. Let’s look at other options as only a fool will repeat same tactic and expect to get a different result.
I wouldn’t want to start mentioning the atrocities of JTF, but I remember vividly when one soldier was killed around Gwange area, the JTF in reprisal killed over 50 innocent lives and the deputy Governor claimed they were sleeping. What sort of wickedness!
Let no nitwit sit down in his/her Lagos or Abuja lounge to say amnesty shouldn’t be granted. Let it be heard from the residents if it is not needed.
Instead of casting more aspersions, let’s work with Prof M. Nur Alkali’s suggestion; commence dialogue, grant a pardon, rehabilitate and compensate for lives lost, homes destroyed and properties lost. This is the international standard for conflict management and peace resolution.
Borno State – Home of Peace as it were even few years ago when I was a student there didn’t restrict anyone from carrying out his or her legitimate activity. You can walk around freely without harassment. From the dark part of twilight to the appearance of daylight, the situation remains the same, but not anymore. I’d pray fervently to see this type of Maiduguri again and Insha Allah, this will come soon.
He who comes to equity must come with clean hands.
Good Bless.

PLEASE READ THE SCARY REVELATIONS BELOW….. In an interview a man
identified as Brother Sadiq, who was allegedly
shown hell after a forty day fasting said, “The Lord said ‘come with me’
and the next thing I saw is that we were walking together in hell.
When we got to hell, the Lord said to me, ‘this is the place you wanted
to see, don’t be afraid because of who I will allow you to see, and what I will show you’ …the Lord said I will allow you to talk with three
men who were top
preachers from your country but are now in hell’…the first person I
talked with was Archbishop Benson Idahosa (Church of God Mission
International)…the next person I talked with was Baba Paul Gindiri
(New Life for All)…the next person I spoke with was Pastor Philip Mokungah (Oasis Church, Plateau state)… “While I was talking with him, I
also saw a woman who was a very
popular female preacher from Nigeria – She introduced herself saying,
“See me, see me, see me, Bimbo Odukoya,” but I was not allowed to
talk to her but she was allowed to talk to me. She said what brought her
there was secret sin, though she did not state what the secret sin was. The Lord made it clear that it was iniquity that took her
there… THE VISION
What did Brother Sadiq see? After a forty-day fast that I was
requested to go through by the Lord, in the place of prayer, I
suddenly saw light around me and then heard the audible voice
of the Lord saying, “Men have seen the sky, the sun, moon and stars, the mountains and the hills and yet they fear Me not; I will not hold
My peace anymore, I am coming to judge the earth.”
MY GOING DOWN INTO HELL
When the Lord told me that the people in destruction are going to
hell except they repent, then I asked the Lord “Can I see the
place?” He said “Yes, you can see hell because you asked in a right way”. The Lord said “Come with me” and the next thing I saw was that
we were walking together in hell. When we got to hell, the
Lord said to me, “This is the place you wanted to see, don’t be
afraid because of who I will allow you to see, and what I will show
you.” The place was very terrible. It was dark and I could hear
screams of billions upon billions of people, men and women. Though the place was dark, I could still see because the light of God was
shining. His face was shining like the sun in its strength. I
saw the flames of fire looking reddish and multitudes of people as
though they were swimming in the fire. The people I was allowed
to speak to were in their individual pits of fire. These pits of fire
are literally billions upon billions! They would try to come out of the pit, but it was as if the fire would melt them. I saw billions upon
billions of demons running around. These demons were
more or less making mockery of those there.
The Lord said “I will allow you to talk with three men who were
top preachers from your country but are now in hell.” These are
people I never met or knew on earth. Each of these men introduced himself to me and acknowledged that he deserved to be there
in hell.
The first person I talked with was Archbishop Benson Idahosa
(Church of God Mission International).
When I saw his state of suffering in hell, then I asked him some
questions. Q. Why are you here? A. Covetousness and I was full of self-righteousness
while I was on
earth. And I deserve to be here.
Q. Are you used to the pains and the suffering?
A. No. The suffering is new every day.
Q. For how long have you been here? A. Thirteen (13) years Q. What if I want to come here where you are?
A. If you want to, you are welcome.
While I was talking with him his flesh would melt as if acid was
poured on his face. All the time he was talking with me, he was in
torment in his own pit of fire.
The next person I talked with was Baba Paul Gindiri (New Life for All). While he was looking at me, he was screaming in his own pit
of fire. As he would try to talk, fire would come from his mouth
melting his throat. Then the throat came back again and he was
able to talk with me. As he was talking there was fire burning
even inside his head and he was in real torment.
Q. Why are you here? A. My works brought me here Q. What works?
A. Guile (deceit, hypocrisy, falsehood)
Q. But I was touched by some of your messages I have listened to,
yet you are here. Is your message that we are listening to also
going to bring us here? A. No
Q. Why? A. If you allow the Spirit of the Lord to lead you and not your
human mind, your life will glorify God through the messages.
The next person I spoke with was Pastor Philip Mokungah (Oasis
Church, Plateau state). He was talking with me with his head upside
down. The Lord says that was the state of his punishment
at that hour. Q. Who are you and why are you here?
A. I was Pastor Philip Mokungah. Now I know I am nothing and
myself-will brought me here. And I’ve already sowed the seed of
self-will and selfish desire in my family. The more it grows the more my
punishment in hell increases. I was walking right with
God then gave room to the devil and he cut me off. He succeeded through my desire and at the end I divorced my wife. This was the
first step that separated me from God. And I took it very lightly.
Now I am here as a result of my self-will.
He also gave me a message for his family. While I was talking with him, I
also saw a woman who was a very
popular female preacher from Nigeria – She introduced herself saying, “See me, see me, see me, Bimbo Odukoya,” but I was not
allowed to talk to her but she was allowed to talk to me. She said
what brought her there was secret sin, though she did not state
what the secret sin was. The Lord made it clear that it was iniquity that
took her there.
Ten other people spoke to me but I was not allowed by the Lord to speak to them. Eight of them are of other nationalities (Non-
Nigerians). There was a man I met in Indonesia where I went preaching in
2009. He said he was in hell because of wrong counseling. He was
a counselor who was giving people wrong counsel
One of them said he is there because of the spirit
of irresponsibility. Another said he came there because of gossip. Another said he is there
because of the spirit of bitterness.
A lady said she came there because of lying in the name of God.
There was a young man who said he was arrested while on earth
for preaching the gospel and the devil cut him off in prison where
he compromised his faith. There was a woman who was just wailing but I could not pick out her
words.
There was an elderly man who said he wished he was me because
looking at me I was not feeling what he was feeling.
I saw a young girl with a very long hair with different colors. She
was an occultic girl who was in the choir of her church. The last person was a young man. He said he called himself into the
ministry because he desired to help God. The hand of the Lord
was not on him and therefore no grace. He went to so-called men
of God seeking anointing of the Holy Spirit. As they prayed, they
transferred the same evil spirits in them into him. He gave a
message – “Be careful of those you allow to lay hands on you.” The three men the Lord allowed me to speak with were very
popular preachers. God, however, is not a respecter of persons for
He is a just judge. Acts 10:34-35: “Then Peter opened his mouth,
and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
But in every nation he that feareth Him, and worketh
righteousness, is accepted with Him. Rom 2:11: “For there is no respect of persons with God.” Rom.
11:22: “Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on
those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you
continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.” THE
RAPTURE
What does the Scripture say concerning the rapture of the ready saints?
1 Thess. 4:16-18:
“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with
the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in
Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
Therefore comfort one another with these words.”
1 Thess. 5:1-11:
“But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need
that I should write to you. For you yourselves know
perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden
destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant
woman. And they shall not escape.
But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake
you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the
day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who
sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.
But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate
of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For God did not
appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our
Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.Therefore comfort each other
and edify one another, just as you also are doing.”
Rev 22:10-12:
“And he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book,
for the time is at hand. He who is unjust, let him be unjust
still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.
And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to
give to every one according to his work. ”
The Lord showed me an open vision of the rapture before He took me
down to hell. The first person I saw in the vision was the Lord
Jesus Christ Himself. I have seen Him on several occasions before now so I know Him.
The Lord ALLOWED me to see the PRESENT CONDITION (not FUTURE
DESTINATION!) of everyone He has privileged me to meet in my
two and half year’s journey with Him. As well as many others that I have
never met including those the Lord said I will meet in
future. 1. I saw those who were going up in glory with the Lord.
2. I saw those were going down in destruction.
Those in Category 2 were far more in number compared to those
in Category 1. There were those who were not seen in Category 1 or 2.
The Lord
says these ones are hiding in darkness for there is nothing hidden in the Light.
Most of the ministers who were going up in glory, the Lord says,
are not the popular ministers known by men on earth but are
known by Him. However, I saw some ministers of the gospel that I know.
Most of the major ministers in Nigeria were seen going down in
destruction. The Lord says this is the season of judgment. He says He cannot bear any longer what they are doing in His name for He
is coming to judge the earth, yet it is not too late if they repent;
but He says, “If you refuse to be sincere with yourself and repent, you
know where you are going – your destiny is eternal
destruction.”Just some of the major ministers among the so many
ministers in destruction are going to be mentioned here for the purpose of their redemption. The Lord says it is not His will for you
to be where you are right now and you know it.
I have never met or known any of these ministers. However, some of
these ministers were brought to me in the place of prayer for
intercession during the forty-day fast preceding this vision. The
Lord introduced them to me as lost ministers. Christian national leaders from other countries include – Joel Osteen, Kenneth
Copeland, Bishop T.D. Jakes, Billy Graham, Joyce Meyer, Rod
Parsley, Myles Munroe, Mike Murdock, Paula White, Ron Kenoly, Pastor
Donnie McClurkin, Pat Robertson, Reinhard Bonkke, Pope
Benedict, David Yongi Cho, Duncan Williams and many others!
The essence of mentioning these names is for these people to be warned by those who know them and love them so there can be a
change in their ways before it is too late! My responsibility is to
simply report what I saw and to warn, so I am free of their blood. There
are many other lost ministers whose names cannot be listed
here, but let everyone examine himself before the searchlight of
the Holy Spirit. Each of us must confront ourselves with the gospel of truth before it is too late forever!
Ezek. 3:17-21:
“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel;
therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning
from Me: When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you
give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his
iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. Yet, if you warn
the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his
wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have
delivered your soul.
“Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall
die; because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin,
and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but
his blood I will require at your hand.
Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man that the righteous
should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; also you will have delivered your soul.” Ezek. 33:7-11:
“So you, son of man: I have made you a watchman for the house
of Israel; therefore you shall hear a word from My mouth and
warn them for Me. When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you
shall surely die!’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from
his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to
turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die
in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.
“Therefore you, O son of man, say to the house of Israel: ‘Thus you
say, “If our transgressions and our sins lie upon us, and we pine
away in them, how can we then live?”‘ Say to them: ‘As I live,’ says the Lord God, ‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but
that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your
evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?”
The truth is like a double-edged sword which if received
reverently could comfort us and if rejected could crush us (Heb.
4:12-13). This vision is a demonstration of grace and love from the FATHER-
HEART OF GOD.
I saw many national leaders including President Barrack Obama
and President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan going down in
destruction. They also must be warned!
When I looked at the people who were going up with the Lord, they were very calm, at peace and full of joy.
When I looked down at the people in destruction, I was surprised
because some of them are supposed to be the people of God that I
know. They were crying out in agony and pain. Yet the Lord said
there was nothing He could do except they repent. At this point I
had questions in my mind. Then the Lord told me to ask questions. Q. Where is the destination of these people who are going up with
You?
A. They are coming to be with Me where I prepared for them.
Q. For those going down in destruction, where is their
destination?
A. They are going down to hell except they repent. Q. Why are these people in destruction?
1. Hypocrisy – what they are in their mouth is not what they
are in their heart.
Matt 15:7-9: “Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you,
saying: “These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and
honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of
men.’”
2. Submitting to the spirit of paranoid that does not allow them
to see sin as God sees it, thus making light what is serious in His
sight. This spirit works directly against the Spirit of Truth.
John 16:13-14: “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own
authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell
you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is
Mine and declare it to you”.
Consequently, they are not pure in heart, for only the pure in
heart will see God (Matt 5:8) “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one
will see the Lord.” Heb. 12:14. Coming out of Hell
After the Lord brought me out of hell, I was back in the light were I
was before. Then I said, “Lord, can I ask a question?” He
answered,“Why not”. “Lord, why did you allow me to have this
experience. I’m afraid seeing these men in hell?” Then the Lord said to me, “I allowed you to see these men in hell because of the
message you are carrying for this generation.” I now asked the
Lord, “Can I carry this message of seeing these people who
labored in Your vineyard, and yet ended up in hell?” The Lord said
to me, “That is their choice. They knew the truth but they refused
to confront themselves with the truth but others. You can carry the message because of the anointing that is upon your life”. “But Lord,
You anointed these men as well and yet they have ended up
in hell!” “It is because of their choice. If you also choose the wrong
road like them, you will end up where they are. But my desire is
that you continue on the right road”. This warning, of course,
applies to all those going up with the Lord in glory! “What about those people who listen to their messages, would they be saved or lost
like them?” “If they believe in Me, it is not their message, it
is My message”.
Then the Lord raised His two hands and was leaving. Then I asked
Him, “Lord, when are you coming to take us?” He said, “I Myself do
not know, only the Father”;as He said this, He was looking up towards heaven. After this He went up. There were many angels with
Him in the clouds and they went back with Him. The end of the vision
After they left, as I looked, I was shocked to find myself still in the
place of prayer where I first knelt before the Lord the previous
day, 2nd of September 2011. I realized I had been with the Lord
for about twenty-four hours yet there was no weariness or weakness in my body. Then an anointing came upon me and the names
of some of the people I had seen in the vision began
coming to me especially the lost ministers, for prayer. I was given
specific prayer points for each of them. The general prayer for all
the lost ministers is for God to open their spiritual eyes to see the
need to confront themselves with the gospel of Truth. After this I gave thanks to the Lord for about an hour. I called Pastor
Kelvin Stewart (my pastor) who said he tried to reach me
the previous day without succeeding. He was assured by the Lord
that I was alright, that I was with Him and would call early in the
morning, which is what happened.
Pastor Kelvin has shared the vision with the people with whom we are relating as it affects them and there has been genuine repentance
amongst us. Like I stated, the purpose of this
revelation from the Lord is for REDEMPTION. Some of those
mentioned have, with great humility and openness, made contact
and sorting things out with God.
Why the vision?It is a warning and a wake-up call. To save the lost ministers, and sinners in and outside the
organized Church. To fit the saved for greater service in the Kingdom of
God. THE TIME IS AT HAND.
MEN MUST BOW TO WORSHIP THE KING – JESUS!AND THEN ARISE TO
ESTABLISH HIS KINGDOM WHERE WE LIVE AND WORK! MAY WE BE
FOUND RAPTURE- READY! Conclusion As you have read this book, dear friend, if you have not given
your life to Christ and you desire to do so from your heart please
pray the prayer below. Also, if you have just been a religious
person, just going to church but you know you have no
relationship with Christ as your head or you are a backslider. If you desire
that Christ give you a pure life now you have a divine opportunity. Truly you are making the greatest decision in your
life.
The End* I would like you to pray this prayer right away, if you
want Jesus to come into your heart:
Heavenly Father, I come to You admitting that I am a sinner (Romans
3:23). Right now I choose to turn away from sin, and I ask you to cleanse me, by Your blood, of all unrighteousness. I believe
that Your Son, Jesus, died on the cross to take away all my sins.
I also believe that He rose again from the dead so that I may be
justified and made righteous through faith in Him (Romans 6:23). I
call upon the name of Jesus Christ, to be the Savior and Lord of my life
(Acts 2:21). Dear Lord, I choose to follow You, and I ask that you fill me with the power of the Holy Spirit (Luke 11:3).
I hereby renounce the power of Satan and sin over my life,
declaring that I am now a born-again child of God (Romans
10:9-10). I am free from sin and full of the righteousness of God, in
Jesus’ name I pray, Amen. If you just prayed this prayer by faith, the Word
of God has promised that you are now BORN AGAIN! (II Corinthians 5:17).
Welcome to the Kingdom of God! Now you have brothers and
sisters all around the world. This is the most important decision
that you have ever made. Take full advantage of it. Don’t go back
into the world. The world leads to death, but the fear of God leads to
eternal life. At each moment you need to live like it is the last day, and the last time of your life.
