Who is pastor J and why cant he reveal his full name?

He shouldnt remain anonymous when the person he's accusing, isnt- thats cowardice and besides, he should prove he's not simply an online monikor cooked up by the usual internet crooks.

coogar:

why would he need to accept or deny? would that change the status quo? bianca ojukwu denied knowing FFK - has her denial stopped the accusations? some of you nigerians reason like centipedes sometimes!

plenty of people have already made up their minds. even if pastor biodun swears his innocence on the altar, people would still say he's lying. besides, the onus is on ese walters(the claimant) to prove pastor biodun is an adulterer!

Mr Coogar, the difference between Pastor Biodun and Bianca Ojukwu is that Pastor Biodun is and should be accountable to his church or other Christians as by virtue of his elevated position he is a man of God (that is his Job title) and he erred whilst in a position of trust. Abuse of a position of trust is a criminal offence in most western countries. This is because the victim is vulnerable by virtue of the offender's elevated status. Please you can ask teachers, doctors and even priests in western countries who are bound by this laws. I do not see anything wrong when someone is trying to establish a pattern of behaviour of a certain individual which might make a risk to other gullible individuals.
Bianca Ojukwu and FFK is a private matter unlike this where there is a tendency that should this man's ills not be exposed, many others might become victims too.

KaimaTee: Am glad that there are men of God that still preaches the truth, I am so disappointed by my pastor last Sunday following the way he talked about this issue, he was so flippant about it, that it is not for people to judge, that if he is to be in the man shoe, he will just tell the congregation that yes, he is an adulterer, he has prayed a nd God has forgiven him, so if you don't want to come to the church, not come.
Either my pastor fail to read that this man didn't just fall into sin, he is a serial adulterer and was never born again or he chose to ignore it, he didn't even care about the faith of many that were being destroyed, how can we can our bible to go minister to the so called unbeliever? What are they suppose to believer .Infact I am thinking about my stay in that church, couldn't believe my pastor can defend this man so blatantly

It has already changed the status quo if you fail to believe... he'll start losing members soon. I find it amusing that you think it's alright to keep mute in the face of a glaring accusation. Of course, it won't be alright if the president decides to keep mute upon Alison Madueke accusation of his involvement in sickening oil theft - because most nigerians are hypocrites - one rule for others and another for the so called 'men of God'. in fact, his silence means only one thing - guilt. I think you are just too scared of seeing the truth as it is, I understand - you revere him a lot, but that doesn't change the fact that he is a man (not different from any other men) which makes him fallible.

coogar:

he will start losing members soon? with the amount of hot air let out by irate nigerians, COZA should have ceased to exist by now. this is nothing until there's a credible evidence that ese walters was speaking the truth.




the 'victim' is not vulnerable - she had since relocated to the UK before the incident happened. the pastor had no hold on her. she's technically not a member of COZA when the incident happened - she had not seen the pastor in 18 months.

pastor biodun's congregation are not interested in the matter. who are you to decide for them what they need to hear? if your ears are itchy to listen to the explicit details of a sex römp, go and read a romantic novel.



pattern of behaviour cannot convict pastor biodun - i don't care about what he's done in the past - the crux of the issue is what we should focus on? did pastor biodun slëep with ese? it's a yes or no answer. if it's true, ese should provide the evidence. what is she waiting for? why is she helping the pastor to get away with a cardinal sin by withholding her evidence?

it's like accusing me of armed robbery and then asking me to prove i am not a robber. hell no, you the claimant should prove i am a robber. the key into solving this case is with ese. she's claimed to have evidence - let her produce it or is she still "tranced" or she's still under the pastor's spell?

la furia: Touch not my annoited. Smh

ghettodreamz: I think this whole drama scene has taken more time than necessary. It still baffles me why the accused man of God haven't made a tangible comments as regarding the scandal, whether to admit to committing the said act or deny it. And what could have been dealt with in not more than few minutes or a period of days is rather seen to have lingered for longer period of an indefinite time.

Now to Ese- if truly all your claims holds, and the cogent reason behind your controversial move is to blow a sound of warning to other Christians or COZA's ladies from fallen victims; are there evidences to substantiate your claims? If there are, can you release them to be accessible by all Nigerians, the same way your controversial allegation letters had gone viral and accessible to us? At least to fulfill all righteousness and for the major purpose of you coming out in the open to be justified only then the cause would be a justified and won battle against the kingdom of darkness and its hosts.

John 8:32 ---- And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Lilboots:
Mr Coogar, funny how you are staunchly defending Pastor Biodun . The first issue you raised was that COZA members are not interested in this matter. Question is, are you a COZA member? If you are, it is understandable that your answers/ quotes are partisan and in favour of the said pastor.

However, my interest stems from being a Christain first and foremost. Is COZA a Christian church ? If it is and by virtue that it is said that the 'Body of Christ' is one, all this drama happening is of interest to me and to other Christians. And should you not know, Pastor Biodun as a Pastor in his church is accountable to me and other christains (COZA members inclusive).

All the professions I mentioned in my earlier text (i.e teachers, Doctors and even Priests) do have a code of conduct by which they should live and work by and I believe a Pastor (no matter the denomination) should have theirs. It is immaterial at this point whether Ese was a COZA member or not. But the crux of the matter was that a married Pastor Biodun erred by allegedly committing adultery with Ese. It was against his code of conduct no matter how you looked at it. The issue of bringing up a pattern of past behaviour is because it is an indication of a person's mode of behaviour.

In England, most people in a position of trust have a background check run on them and it is decided whether or not a person is suitable for a certain position. If by the OP post, it was established that he had several 'conquests' whilst a Pastor of COZA in Illorin, then of course his position as a respected Man of God becomes questionable.

It is illogical to think that men in position should not or never be questioned. It is not a question of bringing someone down. This mentality of staunchly defending 'the indefendable' is becoming laughable. If Ese was incorrect, what about others? Please, any well meaning Nigerian can see right through your posts. The more you make them logical, the better.

coogar:

i am not a member of COZA. i don't even know pastor biodun from eden. however, i am baffled at the way nigerians are easily sold over any nonsense written on the internet. i mean - the story is true because ese said so? where's the evidence?



ese walters is a church worker - a born again christian and a bible believer. by the virtue of the "body of christ" is one, she's also accountable to you. look for email, advise her, tutor her, soothe her and please appeal to her to release the evidence she's withholding. you & i want the truth. ese is the claimant - she must have had some evidence to come out publicly. let her provide it so we can get to the bottom of this matter.



i know for sure prophet kayode williams was a notorious armed robber before he met christ. is it not convenient for me to accuse him he's the kingpin of armed robbers in nigeria? after all, his criminal record is prolific in the world of armed robbery and it shows his mode of behaviour. even a layman would tell you that is not a credible evidence - that pastor biodun has erred before does not necessarily mean he erred with ese. each case should be judged & assessed on it's own merits



except that the church is not run based on someone's history. once he's given his life to christ, his past becomes irrelevant. then again, where was it established that he was a serial fornicator as a pastor in ilorin? where are the evidences? are you really a christian? the christians i know don't kowtow hearsays and beer parlour gists - they seek the truth!



whoever said men in position should have immunity...
when ese provides a damning evidence that proves pastor biodun is guilty, you can put him against the wall then and have him shot! without the evidence, i am afraid, you are just pissing in the wind. i refuse to join you people & your herd mentality....

what kind of christians judge a one-sided story?

“For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.”
Isaiah 9:16

“Let them alone: they be leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.”
Matt 15:14

I was going to be silent on this sad, pathetic but true (in many shades) allegation against Pastor B and his popular and trendy ministry. My silent was borne out of respect for the kingdom of God and things that pertain to God. But all this changed when I heard the horrific tales of people who had been through the mess of this blind man, and the fact that he had no moral motivation to deny or accept the allegation; all he showed on Sunday was a demented swagger and perverse talk.

My sole purpose in writing this piece is to open the eyes of the world and believers to the hypocrisy and nonsense behind the pulpit, and to plea that these wolves and blind men stop deflating the faith of people who Christ died for. I am a Pastor, a full time minister at that, and I shall not sit back while the name of my God, the ministry, and the works of other shepherds is brought to disrepute by the activities, action and inaction of a few blind men behind the pulpit. I am tired of the nonsense of religion crying out, “touch not my anointed”; does this mean we cannot rebuke ourselves when we err, this much Paul did to Peter when he erred in Galatians 2:11 “But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed”. It is therefore pertinent that I rebuke the wolves in shepherd’s clothing’s. It is time to set the record straight, and please don’t sell me the bullocks of judge not, I haven’t said anyone is going to hell, but of course if they don’t change, they have only one path.

It is high time we told the truth, which is plain, simple and without coloration. The stories of Franca and Ese is not only true but they are just a few tales of the tantalizing sex escapades of this clergy. This has been a recurring decimal in the ministry of the clergyman. This wasn’t the first time these stories will come forth, for those old COZA members, for those who were there when he was in Ilorin, when the church moved to Pipeline Road, Ilorin, having left Kwara Hotel, they will remember there was a time when the Pastor was suspended from ministering by his Father in the Lord, Rev Oset of Canaan Ministries. Rev. Oset sent guest ministers to the church every Sunday after that, but still Pastor B in his deceit will still minister in the pretence of introducing the guest minister, while he exhorts for minutes. I therefore laugh in mockery when He says his wife loves him, the woman has no choice. His core circle of Pastor Wole (Ilorin Chapter, the only man who maybe clean), and Pastor Flo (COZA, Lagos) knows of this fact, little wonder Ese said Pastor Flo said he knows about their adventures in that hotel room in London.

This is not the story of a hater; I don’t want or envy anything he has. He cannot ever have what I have and carry; neither do I crave for what he has. I am sure no one in the city of Ilorin, where this man started is bemused by these stories, no one who finished from the University of Ilorin during the period of 2003-2008, and was not a blinded COZA member can be mightily shocked at these revelations. I have heard tales of many more victims, I even heard from a woman who knows five friends who were victims, I saw it online the other day of a guy who said he formally works for him and he knows up to 130 people, outrageous as it may sound that too is true. Rev Oset in true conscience cannot deny the knowledge of these negatives. But we are a nation of hypocrites and religious folks; we ask no questions of leaders, so they can hide under the canopy of religion, even when they are filthy. Anyone who asks is rebuked by those who say, the bible says pray. It is sad that those who say pray themselves have not prayed. But Pastor B is just a decimal in an ever mounting number of wolves in the Church of Christ.

Someone told me yesterday that this can’t be the end of him and his tyranny, because even in Ilorin in those days, the allegation was rolled under the rug. On Sunday, August 25, 2013, the man leading certain blind men under the veil of religion and ‘spiritism’ said God told him not to say anything, he then said they are preparing a robust response. Who is fooling who? We must not keep quiet and watch the bride of Christ, the church, rubbed and undignified in mud and slime by a filthily rich pastor who thinks he can do anything and get away with it.

It is a pity that we run sensational press and media outfit in this country, and that our press is blinded by religion. If this were to be ‘saner’ climes the press would by now be researching, there would by now be investigative journalism. The truth would be dogged up and resurrected to life. For this is not about a mistake that a Pastor made, it is about a filthy man’s way of life.

And then about, “teaching a new level of grace’; please be reminded that Grace is not a license to sin, rather it empowers us to live above sin. Romans 6:1-2 says, “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?” In my years of being a Christian, studying God’s word, preaching the gospel, listening to sound teachers, I have not heard of a grace that gives permission to sin. Stop being deceived, grace is the new dispensation, according to Hebrew 8:6-12, and under grace we do not follow any written code, law or traditions. That is done away with. The tablet of Moses is over with. But we are not reckless sinners; we are under a new covenant based on better promises. God’s law is written in our minds and hearts. We live according to His dictates. The Holy Spirit and our conscience convicts and judges us respectively. This is the only way we live a holy life. God’s strength and empowerment is the grace to do according to that written by God in our hearts and minds.

I write this with a heavy heart, though I wish I never had to write this, but I pray this madness stops. I know many who have stopped going to church, many whose faith has been derailed by the act of madness of this man, and many blind men like him. If they are not going to heaven, let them stop taking men out of the straight and narrow. No one understands the pain in meeting a man, whose faith has been derailed by a man who was supposed to help establish him. For such a man, words can’t bring him back, the best we can do is to pray and hope. I indulge the clergy to be of a higher moral standard.

My candid advice to the church at this end time is that the church must grow in knowledge; it’s high time we stopped bamboozling you. You must stop making idols of men. You must stop making men such as I, substitute for the Holy Ghost. Honour us; revere us… but that is where it ends. Without the Call, the Oil, and the Holy Spirit; we are mere mortal. But know for sure that this too shall pass; only the truth of the Gospel of the Kingdom abides forever.

For Pastor B and his sense making COZA people, remember the word of Christ in Matthew 15:14. How many of you even live life bearing the fruit of righteousness. Stop being blind, the ditch is close by. Look into this case, ask your pastor questions, seek genuine answers and not emotional rhetoric’s, hold him responsible, and do not forget the word of God, “then shall they know if they follow to know…” I am sure evidence abound. Seek to know from some key PCU members (who may need to be deposited in Gods ICU). Its time you hear not only about grace, but HOLINESS without which no one will see the Lord.

Finally don’t bother praying against me, I can say like Paul, “For me to die is gain, to live is Christ”, but I cannot even go now, because I am yet to fully finish the task set before me. Don’t waste your time using misguided scriptural interpretation. This I write is true, and I am sorry if you don’t like it. Your Pastor, and every other wolf whose conscience is not seared knows it is the complete true.

God bless you.
God bless His Church.

God bless Nigeria

Pastor J

Denn: A pastor is a shepherd.

His purpose is to lead the flock.

A lot of people's faith hinge on a pastor's faith

Silence cannot be golden as regards accusations about pastors.

He should have been strong enough to address this matter on the first opportunity.

It is normal for blinded followers to defend what/who they support at all times irrespective of the evidence against them (classic case of football fanaticism and NL tribal warlords)

This is a lesson to all that the world is a global village and Nigeria is just a street therein. The Internet is no joke and twitter is not compassionate; neither nairaland or Facebook or Linda & co.

Where are these guys that title themselves as journalists? Which investigative journalism have they done in this regards? The world is not only about copy and paste

babyosisi:

If you are not man enough to state your full name and ministry and stand by your write up then you are not worth listening to
Rubbish
Who is pastor J?

Jeremiah ?
Jacob?
Jose?
ja Jehovah?
John THomas ?


What is your last name and name and location of your ministry

Bull shait I say
A load of watery shait for that matter
Mchtwwwwww!!

pakoto: It's about time we Christians stop being blind ,the Anti-Christ is in the church now and unfortunately these wolves go to Pastoral schools are awarded certificates and become Pastors and because of the amount of trust they are given privy to information they have no business having.
My dear Christian brothers and sisters please shine your eyes ,i had a similar experience recently thankfully it didnt become sexual because i kept saying that cant be from God ,but that said i almost went insane ,the Pastor is more or less a BABALAWO and trust me i am not kidding ,how do i explain the depth of what i went through?
Including almost losing my life? Iso inu eku......

Lilboots:
Mr Coogar, have you ever wondered why people are so keen on making Pastor Biodun accountable? Because he is a pastor of a church and is in position of authority. Of course no-one is absolving Ese of any blame. She was allegedly a conspirator in the act. But why am I not wasting my time discussing her here ? This is because she does not head an establishment of which I am part of. She does not preach every Sunday from the pulpit neither is she a person of influence in the Church.
It is so easy in today's Nigeria (where historically records are not kept), to keep shouting where is the evidence when cornered because that is escape route to follow when accused. Would you not have been the first to shout that her actions were pre-meditated if she were to bring out a nylon bag full of used condoms, credit card receipts of hotel lodge/room or even perhaps a picture of the said pastor in his under pants. I would be one of the first to shout that this was planned from the on-set to lure the man in to a trap (of course, of which I expect as a man of God he should not fall into).

Historically (and is still the case), Nigeria and nigerians thrive on stories passed down from older ones to younger ones about ones culture. Would you say that because there were no pictures of your Great-grand father he never existed. I do not dis-counter what Ese said because that type of attitude and many other atrocities by men of God have become endemic in the Christianity system nowadays.

I will tell you why previous behavioural patterns are important. You brought up the issue of Pastor Kayode Williams, who according to you was a notorious armed robber before he gave his life to Christ. He may have changed because of his current status (born again), but it will be foolhardy not to scrutinise Pastor Williams if an allegation of theft or armed robbery is levelled against him. Would it not be foolish, even to you, to think that Pastor Williams no matter his status would be crossed off the list of suspects because he is a born again pastor bla bla.

In Nigeria maybe because of the mentality (and it is exactly this mentality I am against), but in western countries, he would be among the suspects until he is absolved of all blame. Why would he be? Because of his previous/past record. A lot of people hide under the 'born again' cloak in other to absolve themselves of any wrong doing. As Nigerians would say 'shine ya eye'.

Funny how you said because he has given his life to christ, his past should be forgotten. How do we know he has given his life to christ in the true sense of the word. If indeed he has, he won't be finding himself in all of this, so as far as I am concerned, whatever laws I will judge myself by, I will of him. Who has ever gone to court over an alleged crime and tell the judge that after committing the crime, he prayed and has now become a 'born again' and that the past (i.e the crime he was accused of) does not matter? Lol.

To absolve myself of any 'one-sided' accusation, should there be an Ese-bashing thread, I shall be there in a heartbeat rebuking her of sleeping with a married man. However, it is important that each is rebuked. My posts on this thread stems from the fact that Pastor Biodun is a pastor and needs to be admonished and rightly so.

demelza: Why hasnt PFN or CAN said anything about this? If na politics now, na there we go see Oritsejafor and co in action.

luluosas: This is where Pastor Ayo Oritshejafor, Founder - Word of Life Bible Church, Warri, Delta State, Nigeria, President - Christian Association of Nigeria CAN, President - Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria PFN, is needed and required to play his role. Not the political spokesman he has become to the Federal Government of Nigeria lately.

coogar:

pastor J = ese walters
franca E = ese walters

they can smell blood now, the mission is to ruin pastor biodun's church and steal his congregation.

philips70:

And it would have been herculean for Ese Walters to use Pastor Judas or any other complete name if she wanna go anonymous? Leave the anonymous nature of the message and deal with the message. Am very far away from Abuja right now but a colleague of mine who schooled with this Biodun confirmed 70% of what the writer wrote. Evil triumph when the righteous keep silent. Even the family of the ones caught on tape are still crying persecution. That is Nigeria for you. Nobody accepts crimes except their hands are caught red-handed in the soup pot. It is the same we that will say GEJ and PDP are bunch of thieves or Tinubu and his APC cohorts are criminals
