Confrontations Between Late Benson Idahosa And The World Witches. by NaijaTushboy(m): 2:53pm On Sep 08, 2019 |
Benin as has been said earlier
was formerly known as the 'City
of Blood'. It would have been
apt for it to also be known as
the 'Land of Witches and
Wizards'. Idahosa grew up in
the midst of witchcraft and
idolatry. His late father was
utterly disappointed that
Benson could not become the
deity priest that he had desired
while his Grandmum remained
a fervent idolater till death.
Some months after the
dedication of The Faith Arena,
then the largest Church
Auditorium in the whole of
Africa at Upper Adesuwa, GRA,
Benin, by Archbishop, the news
went round Nigeria, that
witches from all over the globe
had met in the State of Chicago
in the USA and had decided to
hold their first international
conference. The venue was
fixed as Benin City. The Chief
Host, an academician of Bini
Origin held a press conference
and informed the Nigerian
Television Authority (NTA) Benin
as well as newspapers such as
The Tribune, Sketch and Punch
with arrogance that this first
world conference hosting
witches and wizards would
hold in Benin. ©Church Gist.
Soon enough Idahosa was
informed and true to himself, in
the next edition of 'Idahosa
and You', a program of the
Idahosa World Outreach, he
said it could not be true as it
was impossible. The press met
Idahosa and asked what exactly
was not possible and what
were the consequences if any?
'Witches from the world could
not come to Benin' insisted
Benson, as he would 'kill them
all'. The city became a buzz.
The press characteristically
returned to the Chief Host to
inform him about Idahosa's
response and he boasted 'Not
even God can stop it'!. 'I am a
wizard and I know the power
we carry' he went on. The next
day, all the headlines of the
national dailies carried the story
on their front pages. Idahosa
was informed about the
response of the Chief Wizard
Host, that God can not stop the
event from holding. 'Yes he is
correct' said Archbishop
Idahosa.........
'That is why I am here, God
does not need to waste his
time considering matters as
trivial as stopping the
conference of witches'.
Again, Idahosa sought to know
how many witches were
expected in Benin. 9,800 of
them, he was told. ©Church
Gist.
His house was visited by
pressmen who came to advise
him against the risk he was
taking by challenging witches
openly. 'Witches are not to be
toiled with, be careful. Do not
throw your life away, it is not
compulsory to take up these
challenges. You are already
known by the power of God
manifesting in your life. You
don't have any point to prove '
they said. Idahosa responded:
'Those who take care do not
take charge and those who
take charge do not take care'.
The Chief Host had also warned
that Idahosa was a busybody,
merely risking his life. When
Idahosa insisted that there
would be no witches
conference in Benin, the media
then asked if he was ready to
tell the whole nation. They told
him they intended to arrange a
Tv program where he would
meet face to face with the Chief
'wizard' to defend their
individual positions. True to
himself, he replied in the
affirmative. Idahosa loved open
confrontations.
About a week later they were
both on air in a live program.
The moderator started by
saying, 'Gentlemen, we don't
want anybody to get hurt'. He
then asked Idahosa's disputant,
'Chief Host, are you really sure
you are bringing 9,800 witches
from all over the world? The
moderator got a resounding
'Yes'. He faced Idahosa 'Dr
Idahosa, are you sure you are
going to be able to stop this
conference of wizards and
witches? 'It is not that I am
going to stop it, I have stopped
it', replied the Archbishop now
raising his voice.
The moderator then told both
of them:
"Are you really ready? Because I
am now going to grant you
time to tell us how serious your
position is and how strong the
power of your God is". He
beckoned on Idahosa and the
Chief Host and both of them
said they were ready. Quickly
chipping in, Idahosa requested
to be allowed to pray before
the program ended as he
intended to kill that day.
Reluctantly, the moderator
accepted. The Chief Host was
unshaken.©Church Gist.
The wizard spoke first and for
about 27 minutes, quoting
copiously from the old
testament of the Bible, sixth
and seventh books of Moses,
Egyptian hieroglyphics, British
writings, Jewish scrolls, Indian
Maharaja and other mystical
books. As he ended, the
moderator asked if Idahosa
heard and again he said he did.
'What do you have to say?'
Idahosa was asked. 'There is
nothing to say. I said the
proposed conference is
cancelled'. How ? The
moderator asked.....
Archbishop then opened the
Bible and read quickly some
passages from Exodus,
Leviticus, Deuteronomy and
some New Testament verses. He
asked how many minutes he
had left and was told 'just 5'.
"Fine, it is time for somebody to
report to his maker" he blurted
rising up. There was
pandemonium in the |

studio. With everyone watching, he turned to the self confessed wizard and chief host and asked : "I just need an answer from you and your life is hanging on your answer. A witch is not supposed to live and I intend to kill you now if you are one" At home and in the studio, viewers were glued to their screens and tension was palpable all around. "Now answer me and this large viewing audience in one or two words. Are you a wizard? Just answer, Yes or No? 'I am not' "What did you say because I am ready to pray" Idahosa prompted. 'I said, I am not a wizard' the frightened man replied. "Then there is no need to go on, stand up and leave the studio"! The Chief Host quickly walked out as sighs of relief filled the studio. The Christians among the TV crew smiled and kept giving each other the 'thumbs up' sign. Benson Idahosa began to fire in tongues........ Next morning, the Chief Host visited his office and even collected a Bible. He however still insisted to the Media that the conference would still hold in 7 days. The media returned to Idahosa to inform him. 'Is the conference still holding or not'? "No comments" Benson Idahosa responded "but if the conference still holds, I will burn my Bible. I say it is cancelled". On the day of the opening, there was no conference. The next day, Archbishop Idahosa travelled to Lagos to see the President, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, a Muslim. "As you are very well aware, I told the whole nation that the conference of the witches would not hold in this country and you can see that it did not hold" 'Yes', replied the Military President. 'When I saw you and that fellow defending your beliefs and positions, I sent telex to all our embassies not to allow even one witch or wizard into Nigeria. They were all denied visas'.
