- Calls on ruling class, Sultan to do right things to make lives better
By Gilbert Ekezie
The World Teacher, and founder of One Love Family, Satguru Maharaj Ji, is not happy with the present unprecedented economic hardship which the political officeholders have put Nigerians into. He is of the view that the Sultan, as the spiritual head of all the Muslims in Nigeria, his contributions would go a long way in putting things right. He called on him and the ruling class to do the right things, so the standard of living would improve.
He also spoke on other issues
You have always said the Sultan of Sokoto should intervene in the challenges confronting Nigeria, in what areas do you think he would do so?
Yes, the Sultan should not be silent. We need him to intervene in the present hard condition of Nigerians, through his frank words of truth and encouragement. We also need some good portion of the affluence in which the Sultan prays five times daily.
The Sultan is recognized as the spiritual head of all Nigerian Muslims, and the hardship occurring across Nigeria, is not sparing Muslims. What does the Sultan have to offer as a solution to the tribulation? What is his spiritual solution to the situation? Or is he no longer the spiritual head of Islamic Miyetti Allah? The Sultan is a core and commanding member of Nigeria’s neo-colonial ruling class that has persistently refused to embrace Maharaj Ji’s divine presence and non-relenting outreach in the battered Republic by Euro-Arab design and orchestration.
What would you say is the problem of Nigeria?
I have been speaking repeatedly about a new global Order and the critical importance of Nigeria to the birth and reign of the new Age of global peace and abundance for all.
I have, for over 40 years, been calling out to Nigerian leaders to refrain from bleeding Nigeria into their private coffers and into the deep vaults of Eurasian authorities. I have been calling on them to do the right things for Nigeria’s progress. What is happening today is a most harrowing consequence of the stubbornness of Nigerian ‘leaders’ that insist on looting Nigeria and mobilizing ignorant masses to rant and kill for them i.e. to intimidate voices of opposition to their brigandage and perfidy.
The unprecedented economic heat in the country is; indeed, a special opportunity for the Sultan of Sokoto to prove that he is a positive spiritual head and that he is truly fatherly. I must say that the heat does not need rhetoric and prayers. Both are spiritually and primordially useless!
What does the present situation of the country need?
The situation needs the Sultan and other members of Nigeria’s extant ruling class to do the right thing. Can they? Will they? It gets to a stage in the brazen looting and in the habitual stifling of a country when the nation’s vaults run dry on everybody. Brigandage is not constructive. It is destructive. Looting does not enrich the nation. It impoverishes the country. Nigeria has, naturally, arrived at an increasingly hot cross-road where the voice and actions of the Sultan and his comrades in neo-colonial rascality will either worsen the fire or quench it to the benefit of all Nigerians, irrespective of tribe, religion or location.
What gives you the impression that the Sultan of Sokoto can provide a solution to Nigeria’s problems?
He can do that because the Sultans of Brunei, Kuwait, and other parts of the Middle East preside over affluent economies. How come the Sultan of Sokoto has been reigning over a wretched economy? Is the Allah that he prays to every day different from the one that Arabs pray to? So, I humbly call on him to break his conspicuous silence! He is our revered head of Nigerian Muslims whose word is law over the Koran-wielding vandals who have looted Nigeria into its current state.
May Allah grant him the will to speak to the nation’s actual redemption before it’s too late!
SATGURU MAHARAJ JI CARPETS MIYETTI ALLAH SAYS “I SUPPORT IGBOHO ON ERADICATING TERRORISTS HERDERS
What do you have to say on the report that Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) urging President Bola Tinubu to arrest and prosecute Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemi popularly known as Sunday Igboho for treason because he stated that he returned back to Nigeria to help eradicate armed herders harbouring in the deep forests of South West and carrying out attacks against farmers and traditional rulers?
Well, that has been the character of MACBAN because, throughout the eight-year administration of Muhammadu Buhari, the same cattle breeders association was known for backing terrorism of armed herders. I can also describe MACBAN as terrorist sympathisers. Recall that on 26th of June 2018, the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) backed terrorists who massacred hundreds of Plateau State natives when it described the attacks on some communities in Plateau State as an act of retaliation over the killing of 300 cows belonging to its members. The suspected herdsmen had around June 26th 2018 attacked Riyom, Barakin Ladi and Jos South local government areas of the state, killing over 100 persons, but Miyetti Allah’s statement came even as fresh attacks on Kwi village in Riyom local government area claimed one more life in the early hours of the same period in 2018, despite the dusk-to-dawn curfew declared in the three local government areas.
So, it didn’t come as a surprise when MACBAN called for the arrest and prosecution of Sunday Igboho for threatening to wipe out terrorists masquerading as herders killing residents of South West, but rather than commend the Yoruba nation for volunteering to eliminate terrorists, MACBAN was rather displaying its support for terrorists by calling for the arrest and prosecution of Sunday Igboho. It is unambiguous that only those who sponsor terrorists wouldn’t be happy when someone decides to eradicate terrorists. I recalled that MACBAN’s National President, Baba Othman Ngelzarma, made the call in response to Igboho’s remarks that Fulani herders should be expunged from the South West, or the whole of Nigeria, if they are above the law. Igboho, who recently returned to Nigeria after about two years of detention in Benin Republic, accused Fulani herders of killing farmers in the Southwest.
However, Ngelzarma described Igboho’s remark as an unlawful comment that amounts to treason.
In a statement he signed, Ngelzarma said: “We call on the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) and relevant security agencies to arrest and prosecute Sunday Igboho for making this unlawful statement that amounts to treason because he is asking for the actualisation of Oduduwa nation.
“His statements are unlawful. If Nnamdi Kanu will be held behind bars for a similar offence, we see no reason why Sunday Igboho will be allowed to go scot-free, without being arrested and prosecuted.”
How them would you describe the position of MACBAN on that matter?
Their position is preposterous, puerile, irrational, and irresponsible, just as I fully back Sunday Igboho and any patriotic groups willing to wipe out terrorists of any dimension, even if they are herders, because of the massive damage and mass killings that these armed terrorist herders committed between 2015 to 2023 when the then president Muhammadu Buhari looked the other way and allowed armed Fulani terrorists to unleash a regime of mayhem and mass killings, which the likes of MACBAN actively supported.
For me, MACBAN is being clever by half by bringing in the name of Nnamdi Kanu in its unwise call for the arrest and prosecution of Sunday Igboho. It is a notorious fact that former President Buhari arrested Nnamdi Kanu because the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) were actively spreading the story that the real Muhammadu Buhari had died and that a body double from Sudan, was the one acting in his place. In the case of Sunday Igboho, he stated his resolve to wipe off terrorists. So, I think MACBAN tried to smuggle the name of Nnamdi Kanu in an unrelated matter to curry the sympathy of the South East.
Do you really think that MACBAN can get the sympathy of the South East by mentioning the case of Nnamdi Kanu in their matter?
I want the MACBAN to know that Igbos are as victimised as the Yorubas from the incessant bombardments of their farming communities by terrorist herders, which in any event is the reason why most Nigerians must back any initiative to curb the attacks of armed herders.
When the killings became worrisome in the South West and the Governors of the South West led by then late Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN), of Ondo State decided to set up the Amotekun vigilante group, it was MACBAN and then president Muhammadu Buhari that kicked against the move and openly canvassed support for the occupation of forestry reserves by armed Fulani terrorists masquerading as herders. So, we are not surprised that MACBAN started panicking as soon as Sunday Igboho returned to Nigeria, after escaping for his dear life when several attempts were made to end his life, including sending armed DSS and soldiers to attack his Ibadan home, killing many of his relatives during the night time attacks.
Are you pledging support for Sunday Igboho’s actions then?
We are 100% sure that all right-thinking Nigerians would want to support Sunday Igboho and any true Nigerian to eradicate armed herders from the entirety of South-West and therefore demand that the Security Forces allow volunteers in the South-East, North-East, South-South, North Central to similarly invade their forests to arrest armed herders hibernating in our forests, going by the fact Nigerian Army recently supported Sunday Igboho remarks that he will take out all killer herders in the forest of South West.
With the wave of insecurity, do you support state police in Nigeria?
State Police is important to guide and protect the citizens of the states against unnecessary preventable lashes that have created doubts in our ability and capacity to tolerate each other in times of National cohesion.
People are reacting to the viral photo of the General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye where he sat on the throne of a king, Oba Francis Olusola Alao, the Olugbon of Orile-Igbon in Surulere LGA, Oyo State where he went for an Evangelism programme, “Let’s go afishing’, what is your take on that?
Sitting down on the throne of a king is a sacrilege which will backfire very soon. One of the pictures taken from the programme had Adeboye sitting on a royal chair with the name of the king of Orile-Igbon visible on it. The pictures were posted online by RCCG PR team of the church, across all its social media pages.
Adeboye was once a mathematician and when he found out that some of his colleagues who retired, didn’t even have a bungalow or car, that’s why he decided to go for the masses in the name of establishing a church. The church is where we wake up to learn; where people go for salvation, but the reality on the ground is that churches have become business centres. I remember one prominent lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN) who accused Baba Adeboye of operating a business centre and not a church. The Creator is not there to admonish them to follow the principles and laws of nature. Premedial Europe was the sanctuary of churches and religious groups, but in modern times now, many churches have been turned into clubs where people drink; have fun and why? It’s because Jesus Christ is not there. Today, for Baba Adeboye to say his son who died was given by God and taken by God has now become non-African because there’s nothing of such in nucleus culture. In nucleus culture, the love is there that the young shall grow and the elders too, but children don’t die before their father, if so, it means something has gone wrong and what has gone wrong? What has gone wrong is that we have been emasculated by a foray of monocultural values by equating our culture with religion, which begets sin and repentance, whereas Divinity says don’t sin. So, you can see that religion is an ideology.
For Baba Adeboye to go and sit on the throne of a king means he has thrown justice, liberty, honour, tradition and culture into the wind. Unless the Oba want to tell us he was not sworn with Ifa while he wanted to ascend the throne, and if he’s sworn in with Ifa, then Baba Adeboye has done something wrong, and if he knows what the karmic reaction would be by the Ancestors, it is very important that the ‘Royal seat’ should be changed if not, something worthwhile would happen in that town because it’s a taboo, the consequences is gradual insanity, poverty to death.
It is either Baba Adeboye is ignorant of what Oba stool is, or he’s a flexing muscle because he owns the largest congregation of the aguntans, but he forgets that he is grossly ignorant and empowered by imaginary unsubstantiated tales full of woes and misery that the colonial masters have used and still using religion supported with slush funds to destroy the Alajobi culture, which is the foundation of the human race. The Biblical Prophets didn’t mess with the thrones of their kings.
It’s unfortunate that an elder, who should know better about the Nucleus African Yoruba culture, customs and traditions, keeps insulting our sensibility in order to promote his business and his foreign religion over our own. While we have tolerated their insult enough, it’s time we stand up against any form of insult to our heritage. Adeboye should be warned to stop his arrogance on our traditional rulers or have us to contend with.”
A mere cleric insulted the whole of Yoruba race, tradition and culture. This sacrilege must be stopped.
It’s funny to see members of RCCG under the manipulation of the CIA ascending the throne of Obaship in the Southwestern States recently. Is that why Baba Adeboye now feels he can be sitting on their throne?
This is what happens when politicians, instead of Ifa choose our traditional rulers, most of them don’t know their right from wrong and the dangers inherent in such taboos. In the Yoruba race, it’s wrong for someone to sit on the throne of a king when he’s not an heir apparent. He should know it’s against the culture of our land. If the Oyinbos come to belittle and decimate our culture, he is not the one to be used to do that. We know that they used force to enter Africa at that time to turn things upside down, but with the presence of the Light, the Europeans started confessing and begging for forgiveness.
“Can the Chief Adeboye please realize what happened to King Saul when he abdicated the advice of God not to allow for animals to be brought into town and lost his position in shame and disgrace?
“But now that we are gradually becoming aware, it is not for us again to be used like the way it is now. Maybe, Baba Adeboye doesn’t know African history that we are the nucleus race. He should bear in mind that any act overtly or covertly that tends to emasculate our culture, is an act of rebellion, and total recolonization and therefore it is a treasonable felony case in an advanced economy such as ours that should attract the attention of the African aristocrats, lawmen and workers as well as the youths in order to stop this act of aggression and threat to our co-existence.
