The congregation at the Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) were stunned today when a member of the dreaded Boko Haram sect confessed before Pastor T.B. Joshua, revealing how their plan to bomb the popular church in Lagos was thwarted.

In a broadcast beamed live via the Christian station, Emmanuel TV, late into the afternoon, Joshua announced to the congregation that a young man had a confession to make.

"My name is Mustapha. I come from Yola, Adamawa State. I am a member of Boko Haram," he began, sending the congregation into uproar. "Boko Haram is a cult. We have killed many souls," he confessed. 

Mustapha explained further: "When I joined this cult, they wrote something with Arabic Language. After writing it, they washed it and I drunk it. That is the day I had the mind to kill souls."

While explaining their plan to bomb the church and how it failed, the secret sect member explained said: "We were five in number. We dropped at the junction opposite the church. There was a man who used to sell something opposite the church here. He is selling sweets, soap and cigarettes. I met the man and asked him to help me keep the bag I was carrying. It contained some instruments - bombs, to destroy people.

"Later, we decided to sit down and eat before going on our mission here. Our plan was to take souls, to destroy at this Synagogue Church."

"We can set the bomb to explode in one minute or ten minutes. We planned to set it for five minutes and immediately leave the place. All the souls will go."

However, whilst sitting down to eat with his colleagues at a restaurant opposite the popular church in Ikotun-Egbe, Mustapha recounted a strange incident. "They brought food for us and we were eating. At that place, they had television. We were watching the television and discussing. It was Emmanuel TV - I saw you (T.B. Joshua) preaching to people.

"By the time you prayed and laid hands on the screen, it was like you were there with us and you joined our midst. As you laid your hands on the screen, you laid your hands on our face. That was when confusion came between us; everybody scattered.

"Since that day, I wanted to go home but I am not fit. Any time I lie down, I will be seeing you (T.B. Joshua) in my dream. You are disturbing me. I don't know what I did to you. The thing is bothering me too much."

Asked to explain further, Mustapha sadi: "In my dream yesterday, you told me that the group of Boko Haram would not exist again. I want to go but I don't have the spirit to do it again. I don't sleep in the night; I always see you. You are disturbing me. You keep praying for me and laying hands on me. I want to sleep well. I cannot close my eyes without seeing you (T.B. Joshua). Please, help me."

Several hours after the sect member gave his initial confession, Pastor Joshua brought the young man forward again, stating that God had warned him of the impending attack several weeks ago, prompting him to go into intense prayers.

"I have been in a serious battle for the past two weeks. Those who looked at my knees yesterday will know that this is what I wore last week," Joshua stated.

"It was not a surprise to me because I have seen it. My mission is to separate him from the spirit that is controlling him to do that. We are not to fight mere flesh and blood," the pastor explained. 

Mustapha continued: "I cannot sleep or close my eyes. Even now, I am feeling a headache because I have not slept at night. Any time I lie down and I want to sleep, I will see you in my dream, praying for me and disturbing me."

As he was prayed upon, the Boko Haram member fell violently on the floor. He managed to get back up but fell again at the prayer of Joshua. He then began to vomit some strange substances.

When asked about a tattoo of a scorpion emblazoned on his shoulder, he replied: "This is the tattoo they gave to me in the cult. All of us have this tattoo."

Mustapha, who explained it was his very first time in a church, confessed that, "We have never failed before. There is an operation we did at an airforce base in Maiduguri recently. Even we went to Adamawa State in Michika two weeks ago. We have never failed."

Stretching his hand towards Mustapha again, Joshua prayed once again and the young man fell to the floor. As he got up slowly from the floor, tears were in the eyes of Mustapha. "The spirit leading him to kill is gone," Joshua declared to applause from the onlookers.

Kudos, knocks for Jonathan over confab delegates

By Innocent Duru/ Damisi Ojo, Akure/Yusufu Idegu, Jos. On Mar 8th, 2014 at 02:03

A mix of thumps up and thumps down yesterday greeted the quality of the 492 delegates nominated on Thursday by President Goodluck Jonathan as members of the National Conference.

The list contains the names of eminent Nigerians many of whom have served the country in different capacities in the past,some since indepenence.

Mr. Abubakar Tsav, a retired police commissioner said the list is full of President Jonathan’s supporters .

“Nigerians should not expect anything special from them. They will only end up paving the way for the president’s second term ambition.

“The confab will ultimately not produce any meaningful result. It will be a jamboree at the end of the day,” he said.

Jos-based human rights activist and director, League for Human Right, Comrade Nankin Bagudu, dismissed the list as elitist.

He said there are too many “government agents” on the list although he conceded that it “has a mixture of good selections and weak representations.

“It is a good idea to have the dialogue, but this list has confirmed some fears that the dialogue is not people- oriented and the outcome will not reflect the wishes and aspirations of commoners like me. We of the cultural Middle Belt who have been bored with ethnic crisis, problems of insurgencies and terrorism have not got the correct representations that will speak for the people.To me the list is too elitist.”

Chief Chidi Ndu of Network of Nigerians in Internal Diaspora (NNIDA) said: “This list has excluded some critical stakeholders, especially my group. If government can give recognition to Nigerians in UK, US, Asia, etc, what about us who reside outside our state of origin across the country? We are the most marginalized, we are not recognized in our state of origin and we are not accepted as stakeholders in the state we reside, we have suffered marginalisation for too long. We ought to have been included for us to make our case, we demanded for that, but we have been ignored”

Mr. Stephen Sariki of the Association of Middle Belt Ethnic Nationalities said: “As far as we are concerned, we have been short-changed by this list. This is not what we sent to the Conference Organising Committee because we called a meeting of leaders of ethnic nationalities in North Central and a list was compiled based on membership of the different ethnic groups. But the names we are seeing now are a big surprise to us and a huge disappointment. The names we are seeing are not even recognised members. Government has simply hijacked our slots.”

The Interim Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, Prince Olu Adegboro, said although the Presidency picked some credible people for the conference, such nominees may lose their credibility because the conference would end up a failure.

Adegboro argued that President Goodluck Jonathan is organising the conference with a view to distracting Nigerians from some critical challenges ravaging the nation.

His words: “I have never followed up the process of the confab because I know it will not bring out any positive result. They are only using it to distract the attention of the people. Some credible people have been chosen, but I am afraid they will lose their credibility at the end of the event.

“There is no sincerity about the conference; it will add no value to our society. We are watching them and we know their mission and why this conference is coming up at this present time”.

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, Mr. Ayo Fadaka, disagreed with Adegboro, saying this is the right time when Nigerians need such conference.

Fadaka stressed that President Jonathan has a vision for the people, adding that this is the right time we address the issue of federalism.

He, however, frowned on the selection of the Vice-Chancellor of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko (AAUA), Prof. Femi Mimiko, brother of Governor Olusegun Mimiko, as one of the representatives of the state at the conference.

According to him, “we are not saying Femi Mimiko is not qualified to represent the state, but the idea is nepotism. Mimiko’s family members are not the only ones who are brilliant and intelligent in the state. He should have given the slot to another credible person, and I believe we have enough in the state. It is cheap and pedestrian for selecting your younger brother.

The Chief Whip of the Ondo State House of Assembly,Hon Tunji Dairo, described the nominees as qualified and credible.

Professor Itse Sagay, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), is impressed with the quality of the nominees, saying, “I think the quality of the delegates is quite impressive. They should be able to provide solution or formula that will help us live harmoniously together.”

He added: “The most obvious thing I look forward to when the confab begins is the restructuring of the federation. There should be devolution of power so that we can have a true federal system. The power of states in regard to finance should be increased. The states should not hand over their natural resources to the Federal Government. They should only pay a percentage of what they make to the centre for the running of the central government.

“I also look forward to having railway, energy and other like that taken away from the exclusive list and placed on the concurrent list. There should not be a federation account anymore. Everybody should have its own account.

Col David Dungs (rtd), a former military administrator, and now a politician also hailed the list.

He said: “I stand for the national conference, and I pray for them to achieve the purpose of the conference. Whether they are pro-conference or not, let’s give them a chance to deliver on our collective wish.

“I believe that whoever you pick as delegate, there will still be complaints.So, since those who made the list are Nigerians, let’s support them and wish them well.

“The list is a mixture of the young, the old, technocrats, traditional rulers, retired military officers and so on. Let us pray for them to represent us well; they are all capable if we support and pray for them.”

Former governor of Ogun State,Aremo Olusegun Osoba, who will be representing the forum of ex-governors at the conference told The Nation yesterday that he is looking forward to “discussion on every issue affecting the country. The listed delegates are decent and knowledgeable people.”

He has no reservation about the list. “The list is full of people that are experienced in and out of government. They are people who have had exposure and experience in their different endeavours.”

Another nominee and former Finance Minister, Chief Olu Falae, prayed for “divine guidance to do what is right and best for Nigerians. We expect different interests to be vigorously canvassed, but at the end of the day, there must be negotiation. There must be a give and take so that the outcome can be satisfactory to the overwhelming majority of Nigerians.”

He said: “I don’t know half of the delegates, but from those that I know, it appears as a qualitative assemblage of Nigerians. You have legal luminaries, retired ambassadors, bureaucrats, captains of industries and so on. Under divine guidance, a good job should be done

Falae relaunches SDP in Abuja

MARCH 8, 2014 BY SUNDAY ABORISADE

Chief Olu Falae

Former presidential candidate of the defunct All Progressives Party in the 1999 general elections, Chief Olu Falae, on Friday relaunched the Social Democratic Party in Abuja and stressed that the party has the capacity to lead Nigeria out of poverty and corruption.

The party was initially formed in 1992 and won the 1993 presidential election when it fielded the late Bashorun Moshood Abiola as its candidate in the poll which was adjudged as the freest and fairest in the history of Nigeria.

Falae, who is the interim national chairman of the new SDP, on the occasion, lamented the impunity of Boko Haram insurgency in the northern part of the country and challenged the Federal Government to pursue the insurgents to their hideouts for destruction.

Specifically, Falae urged the President Goodluck Jonathan administration to stop the senseless massacre of innocent Nigerian children and women by the dreaded sect.

He said, “No nation can develop and be prosperous without stability and peace. The barbarity which Boko Haram is perpetrating in the North Eastern zone of the country is an evil which this nation must not tolerate any further.

“The recent mass murder of innocent school children in several schools is the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

“Government must mobilise all resources at its command to wipe out this evil.  These murderers have bases in neighbouring countries to which they return after perpetrating violence in Nigeria.

“Our government must avail itself of the right of hot pursue, so that they can chase these criminals to their foreign outposts and destroy them. Our children are our future, we must not allow Boko Haram to wipe out that future.”

The SDP chairman also lamented the deplorable state of social infrastructure across the country and blamed the development on corruption.
