Primate Theophilous Olabayo is a clergyman whose many predictions about events in the country and across the world have come to pass. In this interview with ADELOWO OLADIPO, the Primate/Founder, Evangelical Church of Yahweh (ECOY) predicts that Nigeria will soon witness pockets of political crises that will bring about the emergence of a God-sent leader who will clean up the Augean stables. Excerpts:

Last week, an influential political leader in the South West, who was formerly considered to be untouchable, Chief Olabode George, was jailed. What is your view about this unusual development?
We have been talking about the unimpressive performance of the current leadership of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). We have been wondering if they were genuine people. However, the issue of Olabode George is a step in the right direction about the seriousness of the government in fighting corruption in high places, particularly among the ruling class.

But God is frowning on the issue of selective judgment in this country. Nothing has happened to most of the corrupt past governors. Many of them are still walking around freely in the country as friends of the government of the day. One now wonders why George is being used as a sacrificial lamb. In the light of the ongoing developments in the country, God is about to bring Nigerian leaders to judgment. But Nigeria’s future is going to be great.

What is the implication of the judgment on the political class in the coming months?
God has revealed to me that the judgment is the beginning of the things He is going to do in Nigeria. God said to me that mighty men will take up arms against themselves. Such an occurrence might not happen until there is a shaking among them so that there will be so much confusion that those people who thought that they were untouchable will begin to have a rethink when they are being touched. This, indeed, is a sign of the way God is going to work in this nation. God is the one stirring the hornet’s nest and as a result of the court pronouncement on Olabode George, there is an impending turmoil in the country among the political class.

What the country had witnessed in the recent past was just a crisis in the Niger Delta, but with the ongoing development, there is going to be Holy Ghost fire all over the states and Abuja. And if this fire begins, how much can the political elite be able to put out or contain. That means the Holy Ghost fire is going to consume them all. And God will turn the prayers of their prayer merchants into thunder strikes against them, too.

You said that very soon, a state of emergency would be declared in a southern state. Can you be specific?
The Lord says that if care is not taken, a state of emergency can be declared in Lagos State. After the declaration of a state of emergency, God will raise a leader who will bring this country to judgment and after this, a new Nigeria will be born. It is only God that can save our leaders because He has revealed to me that some of them will be jailed and others will be killed. He said those who will eventually take up the mantle of leadership are not likely to be politicians or soldiers, but they are going to rule the country between three and five years and the country will be like England or America in terms of socio-economic and political development.

God says that in the end, there is hope of a better tomorrow for Nigeria and at the end of it all, Nigeria will still remain a united entity and those who are planning secession or coup will not succeed.

What plans does God have for the common man so that he will not be consumed in the upcoming crisis?
God says that the so-called ordinary Nigerians should draw closer to Him. And He says that the only way the common man can be saved is is by living under His shadow. They should not relent in prayers. Those who are Christians should not forsake the assembly of the people of God while Muslims should not forsake going to mosques and pray, so that when the crisis starts, they will not suffer unjustly. Nigerians should not be in doubt about what I am saying because God revealed it to me.

With these predictions about the impending judgment of God on the leadership of the country, do you think that the 2011 general elections are still feasible?
Let us talk about today because the living and the dead cannot live together. Let President Umaru Yar’Adua take care of his health. The country is in bondage today because the political leaders had buried cows and horses in all the states of the federation and Abuja. They invited marabouts from Saudi Arabia, Chad and other parts of the Islamic world to engage in these sacrifices which were meant to put everyone in bondage. And God is not happy that the citizenry, for no fault of their own, are being held in bondage perpetually. But God has promised to liberate us very soon from the captivity of the devil and his followers?

From where will God raise the new leaders who He will use to take the country to the promised land?
God has not told me that He has limited his search for the new leaders who will save the country from the present crop of corrupt leaders only to the church. He will raise them not only from the church but also from among those who fear Him. There are people who are honest and straightforward.

Will the compromise between the Federal Government and militants end the crisis in the Niger Delta?
The peace being experienced in the region is going to last for a short period because the militants and the Federal Government are still going to disagree over some issues bordering on the development of the region. This is different from laying down of arms and ammunition. The crisis will precipitate a war between the Joint Task Force set up by the Federal Government and the youth of the troubled region.

What did God tell you about President Umaru Yar’Adua’s government?
Well, this is a very difficult question for me. But if we should face the reality of our situation, God said to me that the seat of the president has been declared vacant and there is no likelihood of President Yar’Adua surviving till the end of his tenure.

I saw Nigeria in darkness, but a new dawn is coming that will usher in a new hope in the country. And God says that Nigerians should rejoice because He is prepared to terminate the reign of the present wicked rulers in the land. God has also warned the body of Christ and all people that profess Him as their Lord and Saviour not to join the multitude to do evil, because He is about to liberate us as a nation and put an end to our 49 years of pains and sufferings.

The Lord says that the 50th year of Nigeria’s independence will be that of the Jubilee and the year that He has chosen to liberate Nigerians and He is prepared to put an end to all the evils of the Nigerian leaders, both present and past. God is annoyed that while millions of Nigerians are wallowing in poverty, a fraction of the country’s population is busy amassing wealth to themselves. God is also not happy that some clergymen are supporting these few leaders with ill-gotten wealth. He told me that His judgment will touch everywhere and it will start from His vineyard very soon.

Part of the duties of men of God is to intercede on behalf of a nation at a critical time like this. What are you doing so that Nigeria will not witness avoidable crisis?
In fact, I pray more than any other person concerning our country. One of the past leaders of this country once stated publicly that if not for the prayers of some men of God like myself, this country would have been turned into pieces. In the last nine years, every Sunday, Wednesday and some special Fridays, some prayer warriors who I organised have been praying for this great country.

Can you recall your last encounter with the late Chief Bola Ige?
At the inception of the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo in 1999, Chief Bola Ige came to me for prayers. I predicted that Obasanjo would make him minister of power and steel and later minister of justice. But God warned him not to accept the appointments. And he suggested that I gave him names of those he could present to the former president to be appointed ministers in his stead, but I said no.

Later, he pleaded that I should seek the face of the Lord on his behalf so that he could take up the appointments to help Yoruba race. I told him, ‘Sir, don’t take up the appointments,’ because God had revealed it to me why he would not be allowed to work with both portfolios and that if he took up the appointments and decided to resign later, he would be killed before he could do it.

He now asked me if we were going to see each other again and I said that would be the last meeting between the two of us. And that was the last time I saw him before he was assassinated. However, God recently revealed to me that those who participated in his killing are still around; they are in the government of today. He has promised to bring them to judgment soon and visit His wrath on them.

He is fast gaining the reputation of the Nostradamus of Africa. This is because most of his predictions accurately come to pass. It was Primate Babatunde Elijah Ayodele of Inri Spiritual Home, Lagos, who early in the year predicted the tsunami happening in the banks now. He also predicted correctly the removal of the Comptroller-General of Customs and the Boko Haram religious crisis, which claimed over 1500 lives.

In his latest predictions, the cleric has said that the country called Nigeria will soon be extinct. He said the country will break up and three nations will emerge from its ashes. According to him, people of these nations will require visas to travel to the other ‘sister’ nations.

Among other predictions, which cut across politics, economy, labour and education, Primate Ayodele said President Umaru Yar’Adua will get a second term but urged Nigerians to pray against death at the seat of government, Aso Rock.

Predictions that came to pass
The Lord revealed to us early in the year the removal of the deputy governor of Bauchi State. We made a move and wrote him. When things happen in this country, I always laugh because our leaders are misled by their tin gods; people who cannot see beyond their noses. Those who will always tell you it is well when it is not. On July 19 this year, the deputy governor was removed.
We also predicted the removal of the police boss, the Customs boss and the crisis happening in some states. Aside these, we wrote some security agents that we wanted to have audience with them but they refused because they do not believe that God’s information is the ultimate. They believe they can use calculations but they always goof, forgetting that God has the final say. The religious crisis in Bauchi was predicted before it broke out. We sent letters to them but they chose to ignore the warnings. But what was the consequence? Lives were lost.

Our leaders underestimate God because they believe in their gods. If the country fails to change for the better, it would continue to experience the same problem over and over. For example, The Sun Newspaper in August reported the attempt to assassinate the governor of Yobe State and it is not yet over. The governor will not be given free hand to rule. You know we have nothing less than 50 million pastors. But how many of them are genuine?

Economy
The reforms going on in the banking sector is not over. Some Managing Directors will still go. Remember we said that some banks will crash and some MDs would be removed. The existing banks will still merge and there is going to be some problems. At the end of the day, the number of banks will be reduced. Aside re-merging, the Central Bank would still introduce some things to monitor whatever the banks are doing. Spring Bank, Unity and Diamond banks will likely be in trouble and, of course, some new banks will emerge after these operations.
Merchant banks are still coming. The new banks that will spring up will not last long; likewise some of the micro-finance banks will die prematurely. So the Central Bank is going to work seriously on it. Fidelity and Skye banks will have some problems; also Bank PHB. They will not crash but some irregularities will be detected.

The question is, will this reform rebuild our economy? No, because the Central Bank itself will into troubled waters. The Central Bank governor is going to face a lot of tough battles. Some people will move for his removal while some will plot to disorganise his plans. The economy is not going to be a hundred per cent okay. There would be a kind of continuous rumble in the banking sector. The insurance sector will also encounter problems.

I see a lot of changes coming to the NNPC (Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation). Pipeline explosions will still occur and we should be watchful about them. Fraud would be detected in the NNPC and it will face some challenges. AP, Chevron, Oando and Mobil will experience shake-up. We should pray that we don’t waste our external reserves.
Still on the economy, Globacom is going to have problems. Etisalat will not find it so easy. Nigeria should be prepared. I see a new set of telecommunication companies coming up that will overtake some of the ones we have now. There is a cloud hovering above Visafone. The company will lose most of its major staff. There will be trouble with their major masts. Multilink will also undergo reforms.
There will be increase in the price of bread. That is to say there may not be N50 bread again. Bread will be sold from N100 and above; likewise there will be increase in the price of biscuits.
Dangote needs to pray very well so that he wouldn’t lose much in his business. He needs to pray because there will be a lot of antagonists in his business. There will be problems for Zenon Oil. I don’t know how it would happen, but trouble will emerge for Zenon Oil.

Politics
Oyo State politics will be volatile. The government of the day will not find it easy because enemies will come from both sides. Aside this, antagonists will try to disorganise the plans of the present government. Adebayo Alao-Akala wants to re-contest, but it will not be easy. I see bloodshed in Oyo. If Alao-Akala is not careful, Ibadan people will fight him and raise an army of opposition against him.
Lagos State needs to pray against internal problems. There will be internal fighting against (Governor Babatunde) Fashola. A lot of politicians in the state will be disappointed. There will be efforts to replace Fashola with another person but it will fail. Fashola will run for second term and only God can stop him.
At the end of the crisis over the local governments, Lagos will have the 57 councils. The battle would be a long one but from the look of things, Lagos will win. PDP (Peoples Democratic Party) will look for a way of winning Lagos. It will come back in a big way but will have a weak candidate who will not be able to match Fashola.

The 2011 election in Lagos will be full of crisis. Edo, Bauchi, Benue, Yobe, Kaduna and Ekiti states will experience electoral crises. In Ekiti, (Kayode) Fayemi will not win at the tribunal. He should wait for another time. There will be a lot of political moves against Oni, against his second term.
We need prayers for 2011. The constitution reform process will not succeed. It will be dropped. (Ibrahim) Babangida is coming out but PDP will not allow him. Babangida contesting on the platform of PDP will not be realistic. There is going to be disorganisation in PDP towards 2011 because the Presidency issue will give them a lot of setback. There will be changes in INEC (Independent National Electoral Commission). There will be new methods in our voting system.

If Yar’Adua fails to contest in 2011, another governor will emerge as presidential candidate of PDP. Goodluck Jonathan will be robbed politically and would be disappointed even before the end of his tenure. The Presidency needs prayer that there would be no death within the Villa.
Yar’Adua is going to change his cabinet. Some ministers will be dropped between now and early next year. There will be political problems for Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State. Political tension, disorderliness is coming up in the state. Some House of Assembly Speakers will still be impeached and one SSG (Secretary to State Government) will be sacked.

The efforts of the EFCC chairperson will not be appreciated at the end of the day. I see another EFCC coming up. Additional states will not be approved now but later in the South West, South South and the North. A state might not be created out of Oyo but surely Ijebu State is coming.
Not all Senators, Reps and state legislators will complete their terms. I don’t see a sincere election in 2011.
There would be different factions in the Action Congress. Katsina and Niger governors will face stiff opposition. (Ahmed) Yerima, former Zamfara State governor, can never be president of Nigeria.

Bar Beach
Lagos State is only wasting money on the Bar Beach. The place has a lot of spiritual undertone. No matter how much effort is introduced, the water will continue to overflow its bank.

Traditional rulers
The Emir of Kano needs to pray very well. The Emir of Katsina needs prayers for God’s protection and guidance. Alaafin of Oyo will be troubled and will face some challenges. The Awujale of Ijebu-Ode will face some domestic problems. Aare Alao Arisekola needs prayer. Some former Nigerian presidents need prayers between 2011 and 2012. Lagos State will lose an ex-governor.

Education
The ASUU strike will take another dimension. The Minister of Education must be very careful about this else it could destroy his political future. We need prayer in our education sector because I see cultism coming up. Vice Chancellors of some universities will be sacked.

Labour
Doctors will still go on strike. There will be problems in the NLC. Labour will proceed on strike in some states. I see bad fuel coming into the country. I also want to tell you that there will not be stability in our electricity supply. Some PHCN regional managers will run into trouble and there would be transferred. Some AIGs and army officers will be retired. Some army officers will go on compulsory retirement. Some service chiefs will be changed.

Three countries from Nigeria
There will be problem in Nigeria in future in which the flag and the name will change. I see that the Green-White-Green (flag) will go. I’m not telling you precisely how soon it will be. I see three nations coming out of Nigeria and settling down in different places. One will be stronger than the others and people will apply for visa to enter the stronger nation. How it will come I don’t know. Oodua State is coming. If care is not taken, it will be the state others will bow before. Nigeria needs a lot of prayers so that we don’t experience more religious crisis.

Military and paramilitary
Customs and the immigration services will change their uniforms. We will have local police; a lot of changes are coming into the police force.

International scene
The Camerounian President needs prayer for good health and against political crisis. A great opposition is coming against him. The Togolese President will be betrayed by his closest aides. His authority in Togo will be challenged in the coming election. Former Ghanaian president, Jerry Rawlings, and the incumbent need prayers for good health. Rwanda will experience a new dawn.

Balogun:
Eczema skin disease treatment depends on how serious it is. Simple moisturising cream with no perfume or additives are best. When the skin dries, it cracks and infection might get in. Also try and avoid scratching. You will introduce infection from your fingernails to scratched surface. Some alternative medicine people feel there is a trigger food/thing. I have no objections to that type of thinking. If you find certain things or food trigger your eczema then avoid it.
Serious diseases might require antibiotic/steroid cream or tablets if very serious.
