There are spiritual being which exhibit their influence irrationally, we term some +be impact , we term some -ve impact...

But whether there is a particular one of them which is most powerful than the rest of them remains to be seen, we were just told there is, and told he is known as a God..

We can't tell, we have not seen, but only saw influences from alot of inhuman beings...
There are gods and there is a God. One supreme being over all.

Bishop Benson idashosa is the father of pentecostalism in Nigeria today.

The man mentored pastors like pat Adeboye, pat Oyedepo, pat Mike okonkwo, pat Awunzia and many more.

His life vindicates the calling that God's work is not a business.

After his death there was a tossle over who would lead the church. His wife won a court dispute and took over the church.

While the ministers moved out. But Looking at the church of God Mission the glory has departed.
Hmmm hmmm

After stopping the meeting, Nigeria is still as backward as ever. What was the need?
Who told that they don't hold meetings in advanced and developed countries

So the reason why Nigeria is not as developed as other countries is because enough meetings are not held to stop witches and human sacrifices?

Few people know the story of the encounter Dangote had with Benson Idahosa.

Over 30 years ago when T.L Osbourne and his wife Daisy visited Idahosa and needed to return, the plane back to the US was already full and another will not be available readily. Idahosa walked into the aircraft and requested that a couple of people give up their seats for his guests. No one readily obliged. Idahosa repeated his request and then a young Dangote with his assistant stood up and made to give up their seats. They were the only Muslims on the plane.

Idahosa then stopped Dangote and asked him his names and what he does. Dangote casually mentioned that he is a business man and a trader. There and then, Idahosa prophesied the men will stand up for Dangote worldwide and that his business will grow beyond the shores of Africa. Dangote really didn't think much of it.

As T.L Osbourne and his wife then entered the plane to take up the seats Dangote had left, Idahosa then prayed for everyone on the plane and they all shouted amen. Idahosa found it ridiculous that all the Christians on the plane refused to give up their seats but the only two Muslims did. He then enjoined them to watch his program that comes up every Sunday evening on television and then deboarded the airplane.

Idahosa is long gone but God has fulfilled his word. The world knows Dangote today. None of the Christians on that flight are remembered today.

The debate may be held if Idahosa's prophecy really helped make Dangote who he is today. Dangote himself narrates that story on occasion. But it must not be forgotten that Dangote remains a very avid reader and pursuer of knowledge. By 4:30am most mornings, he is already up and planning for his day. He pays keen attention to details and stays up to date with every information relevant to his field. A hard worker to the core.

Prophesies may help but nothing beats dedication, excellence and commitment to work.
Read what you read aloud, how does it sound? This is not 1950.

Perhaps, it will be believed if we hear Dangote narrate this story on video.

What kind of cock and bull story is this.
Shey plane nah molue bus.
How did the Osbournes and Idahosa board the plan when they didn't have valid tickets sold by the airline?
I doubt u have ever been on a plane before.

Make una dey rate us small small nah. Abi we look like ur village people.
Oga, I am a pastor but you see the amount of fables that has been created to support and promote our pentecostal churches "non-bible related" actions is just crazy.

Sometimes, I wonder how those stories trend for years, and even decades, without people who understand the impracticality of them being true, not standing up to debunk them.

Daily, I wonder how our Christianity messages can not just stay on those found in the Bible. Is it that hard?!

witchcraft and occult practices abounds in all countries of the world.

This doesn't propel or down play development and progress of a people or nation

Nigeria problem is bad leadership from up down not witches. If men of progressive minds rules you won't talk about witches at all. How can we make Nigeria a better place within 6months with good policies and good MoU with foreign investors with modern day infrastructure is what we need. We need to keep aside religious, religion, tribal, region and all divide and rule model aside and face loyalty to the Nigerian flag alone we want progress. All this state of original must stop. Whats important is if you are a citizen, permanent residence, etc.
Bad leadership comes from men...
Whose hearts are selfish and wicked....
How do you change a wicked heart ....?

It has been insinuated that Idahosa was actually poisoned. He died while eating dinner.

Story like this amused me it is very funny and entertaining
It may be whatever to you. You can go and ask your elders at home.
It was in the National news in the 80s. Newspapers carried it. We were kids and we witnessed it.
Your believing it doesn't make it a lie.

Life is a choice, you've made yours.
Goodluck!

witchcraft and occultic practices are not all about evil,

It's all about transcending the physical plane to explore the spiritual.

The whites lied to the blacks that witchcraft is bad but that's what the whites uses to built advanced technology

What then happened to your thieves politicians who put this country in the we are today?
advanceDNA:
We pray too much in Africa without initiating the works needed after prayer...that's not how Europe purged the land of witches, sorcery and ritual practices in the 15th century.... They did it by force....direct witch, sorcery and ritualist hunting, burning them on the stake, and enforcement of civilized laws and promotion of education

Here in Nigeria we ignore and even protect yahoo boys who use our girls for rituals, we leave babalawo who live in our midst to thrive, and provide resources for kidnappers and bandits ..... No wahala naaa..before close of business today, you will still hear news of ritual killing,

.... Go make your research very well. It's a fake story circulating. Dangote had dismissed the story that it's not real. Search it on Google or nairaland, you will see it there..

I viewed this video clip and noted some false stories. Who was the president as at the.time that he met. Who was the Head of the witchcraft association to collaborate his story. Also there is nothing in the Nigeria constitution that prohibites the practice of witchcraft.

This storyline has been used by all these men and still Benin City is backwards. What has change in Nigeria for the better with all these so big men of God. Nothing

witchcraft and occultic practices are used negatively by Africans to kill, maim, and destroy

The whites use it explore extra terrestrial planes and brings in solutions to the physical

Why hasn't any African countries gone to Antarctica or the moon.

All these are beyond science

Christianity is real
Our Problem is deception!

Most revivals we acknowledge were staged and sponsored by several spirits besides that of God.

Most Pastors revered and most celebrated are false! The worst is they fight the true ones and promote their kinds.

For me, everybody knows where or she stands. No long talk... I only go to Church to honour God. I don't miss a sunday Service
I do my personal prayers everyday and anytime. Public religion without a personal relationship with God is the real hoax!

Some even worship their Pastors above God!


I don retire from Religion tey tey! My Pastors are not happy I have become a private Christian. They are not comfortable I am sincere about my availabilty. I nor dey do Anything to please or impress anyone!

I have been Living like this for the past 5 years and believe me, I have seen better results.

To stop witches? Very possible
But when you start, you don't go on breaks.

Can a nation grow just because witches were stopped for one day? No!

A nation grows when more than a few people decide to stop living in pretence and selfishness!
