PRIMATE Theophilus Olabayo, 67, founder of
Evangelical Church of Yahweh with headquarters in
Mende, Maryland, Lagos, had remained one of
Nigeria’s respected prophets whose prophesies had
shaken the high and mighty in the country. In this
interview, the cleric says there would be a spiritual
revolution that will rock the nation to its foundation
and at the end of it, a new nation will emerge.
Excerpts:
What really happened that you went off the radar for
several years?
I have been talking. A prophet doesn’t just say things.
It’s when God asks me to speak that I speak. Many
atimes, I warn our leaders but they don’t have
listening ears. I was the only one who said President
Umaru Yar’Adua had a terminal disease and when the
condition got worse, the wife called some of us to
Abuja to ask of the chances of her husband. I said the
husband would die and Jonathan would become
president. I warned President Goodluck Jonathan that
people would make the country ungovernable for
him, but people said I was a prophet of doom. Is it not
happening now? Let me quickly say this here that
worse than Boko Haram is about to happen.
It’s no secret that you had some health challenges
which may have been responsible for your absence
for some time. What is the nature of your ailment?
I did not lay off. Elijah was sick and he was still doing
God’s work. I had an attack. A spiritual attack but I
am still hale and hearty. Spirit cannot die. The spirit
of God cannot die in you. The body may be weak, it
doesn’t matter. But the spirit cannot die. God will
continue to speak through you.
Is it true that you had stroke, Sir?
It’s not a big deal that someone has stroke but I am
okay. While on a trip to Kaduna, God had revealed to
me that I would have stroke and would be away for
some time. So I looked for someone who knew about
stroke; one of my pastors.
Primate Olabayo
How did it happen and what was your first reaction?
I was going for a revival in Kaduna and God told me to
go with somebody who knows about stroke. The man
had to follow me to Kaduna. When I got to Kaduna,
they told me one of my townsmen was sick and when
I got to his place, God said I should not do anything
though he was suffering. I got a room for him, paid
his bills and left after praying for him. As I was
returning to the church in Kaduna, I had the attack.
And did you have any medical treatment?
Definitely!
Why do you think it’s a spiritual attack?
I know because God told me about it. I know it could
be exhaustion because I pray and fast a lot.
There was this rumour among the people that one of
the reasons your church went down was because you
were caught in adultery with somebody else’s wife. Is
it true sir?
God will forgive you. Where? That is why Nigeria
cannot move forward. How do you expect me; I
preach the Word of God, I preach against adultery,
then I’ll be caught in such an act! Impossible!
Anybody can lie against you.
At your age sir, are you thinking of passing over the
baton to someone else soon?
I am a prophet and it is not hereditary. God can
choose anybody. When it’s time for me, God will tell
me to lay hands on the person. God has not told me
yet, I’m still a young man. There are so many people
that are coming up, not only one person. Among
them, God will raise up leaders. We have young
pastors coming up in the church who have the gift of
the Word of God, the Bible. Not only vision, people
believe that it’s when you just speak in tongues alone
or see vision. No! There are different types of gifts.
There are churches as soon as the founders pass
away you don’t hear much from those churches…
It can’t happen here because it’s God that called me.
When it is time, God will raise up another leader
among us.
What do you foresee for Nigeria?
We are sitting at the keg of gunpowder. We are
looking at total darkness in the nation. We need to
pray very well because these political people are not
doing the right things. Nothing is working; the worst
corruption is in Nigeria. There has never been
corruption as worse as this. The name of Nigeria is
now corruption and some of the journalists are not
helping matters. People are being bribed. But there’s
going to be a revolution. The poor will overtake the
rich. You’ve not seen anything. You’ve not seen Boko
Haram. Worse Boko Haram is about to happen and we
have to pray against religious war that may last
seven years.
Let Jonathan drop his ambition for 2015. Let him work
and allow his work speak for itself. Most of his
political alleys especially from his Niger Delta are
deceiving him and are talking carelessly. They will be
consumed one after another. They are already
beating war drums if he fails to return in 2015; let
them keep quiet. They are not helping matters. Very
soon they’ll start bombing.
The chairman of PDP is going to face another problem
because there’s going to be crisis and if care is not
taken, he is going to be removed. They are going to
scatter them and cause confusion between him and
the president. Most of these governors that are being
sacked are going to join hands together to form
another party. A new party will emerge which will be
more powerful than PDP. Not APC! Gov. Rotimi
Amaechi’s current challenges will create more
problems in this country.
What’s the way out of all of these? How can we
prevent this doom from coming to pass in Nigeria?
The problem with Nigeria is leadership. We are so
corrupt and wicked. We manipulate things and we
don’t allow God to work. They don’t believe in God.
They go about looking for protection; some of them
think they are untouchable. They don’t believe there’s
God. One day they are going to give account. God is
going to intervene in the affairs of Nigeria very soon
and a brand new nation will emerge from the ashes of
a revolution. The president is being caged by some
few people. When you are saying the truth, they
arrest you. Some of his close people are enemies and
he doesn’t know. If he’s not careful, they are going to
run him down.
There are things to be done spiritually. I don’t need to
discuss all these with the Press because our leaders
don’t have listening ears. We need to come together
and work for this nation because we have children.
We don’t want our children to suffer. Because if
there’s war in Nigeria today, Ghana cannot
accommodate the number of refugees. They are
holding notional meetings. If they want to do
something, somebody will talk today; they will give
him millions of naira to keep quiet.
They are not saying anything, they are only
exchanging money and that is what is destroying this
country. Our refineries are not working; the roads are
bad, armed robbers have taken over; there’s no work,
now they want to sack people. The man is making
more mistakes everyday. Every step he takes, he’s
making wrong decisions. Many of his advisers are
selfish and wicked people. They are just accumulating
wealth. And they are old. They don’t give up. They are
acquiring properties.
Some say Nigeria might not survive beyond 2015. Do
you agree?
I went to America of recent and I prophesied and it
happened. Let me tell you, it’s not America that will
dictate for us. God is saying that we should avoid war;
religious war.
Sir, is there anything the Church or anybody can do to
avert a violent revolution?
As I am prophesying now, some church leaders and
prayer contractors will take it to them to get money,
to get oil blocks and buy aeroplanes for themselves.
That will not solve the problem.
Despite the health cha-llenges, you still talk like this.
When are you ever going to get tired?
I can’t be tired. They have tried me. I was the only one
condemning Sani Abacha. One day they sent one
brig-adier to me, I was in my house. As he came, I
said something is in your stomach, he said yes, Sir.
They said you should come and arrest me, he said yes
Sir. I said but you have a daughter, he said yes sir.
That day, my phone just stopped working I know it
was their handiwork. When he came, God revealed to
me and I told him you are going to land into problem,
your oga will die.
Before Abacha died, one Austin came to me. He said
he has a friend of Abubakar, I said he’s going to be
next president and Abacha would die, and it
happened. There’s nobody that God cannot catch. If
100 pastors and mallams are praying for them, they
can’t survive. God is about to move if they don’t
change and repent because they have put us under
bondage for long. These pastors, let them change.
They will say we are Pentecostals, that doesn’t mean
you cannot speak truth. There was a time it was only
me and Idahosa that were speaking during
Babangida’s era. Most of these pastors that were
condemning prophec-ies, are now prophesing. Where
did they see it? Jealousy and envy are the things
killing them.
What is your own assessment of late Pa Obadare?
He’s a man of God. He’s one of the chosen men of
God, a soul winner, has the fear of God. That’s one of
the gifts of the Holy Spirit. He was a blind man and
was quoting the Bible. A good preacher of God. He’s
one of the best in the Body of Christ that we miss.
