Many wept , some gnashed their teeth while others rolled on the ground when the news was broken . Those who found it hard to believe called to be sure. This weekend again this ugly drama will repeat itself : curses and curses will be rained on the masterminds and executioners of this evil deed. Many would like to glance at the corpse to be sure that she is truly gone!
Yes! She is gone, gone and gone forever but thank God for the modern technology, Internet will not forget her even though we would sometimes temporarily forget her.
What will it be going through the killers’ minds when they watch how she would be lowered six feet below the ground level?. What will they be saying when they suddenly discover that they made a big and fatal mistake by killing her?. Now it’s either they will be regretting or those who sent them (if any) will boldly say they regretted for not knowing the Nigerian press will carry the news because of the obscurity of the scene of the crime.
Babalawo Of the Nation ( BoN) broke down in tears
But like Abel’s blood that cried from the ground, Monsurat’s blood cried to high heavens!.
If you have ever had contact with her please endeavor to give her a one-minute silence and pray for her departed soul. She was just unfortunate to have had her life cut -short when she was about reaping the fruit of her labour.
I heard you complaining of her . Whaaaaat? . Are you a Saint? .
It was Diogenes that Cynic Philosopher who was going round the town in the afternoon holding a lantern looking for an honest man. He died without seeing any. Remember what Jesus said “He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her” (John :7).
Let us stop running our mouth. His younger brother, Wale who lives in the USA spoke with me on phone and said ” Yes, my sister was strict but is it everyday that the legendary warlord Ajaka perpetrated evil?”.
Tonight ,there would be a candlelight procession where friends and relatives will give the above soulful rendition in tears. This would be followed tomorrow in tears
God be with you till we meet again ….God be with you till we meet again ..
As the beautiful casket is being lowered and the grave covered.
A opadeletiodo t’ese Angeli ti tee, to mo gaara bi Krista leba …..
Let the assailants watch the video clips of how we wept. Let them watch how she was being lowered six feet below the ground level and let them flash back to when they planned and hatched their evil plan. Now it is regret of ‘had we known?’
Let those who sent sent them flee the country . Let them go into hiding and let them not sombre but should remember Peter Tosh’s song ‘ You can run but you can’t hide on that day. If you run to the sea, sea will be boiling ,if you run to the rock ,rock will be melting on that day….’
Let us give her a befitting burial. Come let us console the family. Whether you like it or not she has become a celebrity and has become a goddess.
Since she has three names from three religions: Christianity, Islam and Tradition bearing Debbie ( Deborah) Monsurat,and Iyabo. Let the Muslims , Christians and African Traditional Practitioners pray for her and also invoke her spirit to fish out her killers.
HER SECRETS
Her grandfather was from Ijebu-Ode and the late Professor Yunusa Oyeneye ,former Vice Chancellor of Adebisi Onabanjo University ( former Ogun State University) was her uncle. Her grandfather was Amusa Pakulopa Oyeneye ,a successful business man who came from Ijebu-Ode to settle down in Owo . He was a wealthy man and had properties in Owo. He died during the Holy pilgrimage to perform Hajj in Mecca in the 60s at the age of 65.
Monsurat was jovial and had a good sense of humor . She had a good dress sense . She was very creative and hardworking. She could adjust to any situation. She was versatile.
The arrested Personal Assistant confessing in her house during a search
She was called Monsurat because of her Moslem grandfather…..she converted to Christianity and bore the Christian name, Deborah .( Debbie) .She was called Iyabo and Yoruba knows the reason . She did not let ‘Amusa’ reflect on her certificate as she preferred ‘Oyeneye'(a traditional name). She because of the love and her proficiency in English and social interactions went to study Secretarial Administration and bagged Higher National Diploma ( HND).
Monsurat’s behavior and manners cum actions showed how the Biblical Deborah was during the time of Israel in the Bible. Her role was powerful .She was a fearless Judge in Israel. She was bold and courageous and could face anybody. She was a Charismatic Military leader performing both the Judicial functions; and was the only female Judge and Prophet .Monsurat did not employ Yoruba man as his Personal Assistant ditto her driver .
But a lesson must be learnt here; Don’t do evil. The killers would be shocked that all the Nigerian media carry her news and story. They thought she would just be killed like others and let it go. But for this one ,No!.
Her own case became a hot soup and spilled on them. Her case became a hot water that spilled on them. Because the place.where the ugly incident happened,Oda Road is in an obscured area nobody will know not knowing that it would become a Celebrity / high profile case.
But how old are these young boys that were arrested? .I learnt they are between 17 and 18 years. How would they have the temerity , knowledge and evil mind of creativity to kill and burn her and planned to sell dummy to us all that her kitchen gas cylinder exploded? ,ñbà, Na lie, iró Nla , úró gbuuu!
Let the Police fish out the suspects . Let them be smoked out from their hiding. Let justice prevail .We need justice .

…...Ha! what I saw at the Bank of Mississippi River
The Mississippi Bridge
I was glued to my seat and my mouth agape when I sighted the rigid-frame bridge . It was awesome .It was massive . And when that early morning sun beamed on the bridge, the steels shone like millions of stars in the sky while the silver color showed the aesthetics bridge design . I was almost blind when I fixed my naked eyes on the shining bridge. The bridge displayed its beauty as the car moved slowly over the bridge . I sighted pool of water on the road but always disappeared each time we got closer- not knowing it was a mirage .I then recollected that we were taught about it in secondary school. Yes, the bridge is as strong and solid as the rock of Gibraltar .
On the Mississippi Bridge
I WAS ‘ARRESTED ‘ ON MISSISSIPPI BRIDGE
As I was dancing to Bob’s Marley music , suddenly I was ‘arrested’ by an invisible ‘Police’ but trust me , Bobo T, T Bobo , BoN, Babalawo Of the Nation , I quickly chanted some incantations and then ‘metamorphosed’ into a giraffe .
I stopped peeping through the window glass and I unstrapped my seat belt and stretched out my neck through the glass window to have a look at the ‘Police’ . Lo! and behold the river was calm and cool but moving slowly and babbling . When I saw the beauty I appreciated the aesthetics work of Arts . The Structural and Civil Engineers who designed and constructed the iron bridge did a brilliant job. The abutments , ledgers, the bridge shafts, barrier rails, deck, parapet etc were well constructed and built .
However , the river was deceitful with its calmness and coolness . As I was looking and appreciating the beauty and the construction of the bridge I sighted the signboard of Welcome to Mississippi River, and I screamed ” Oh my God ! so this is the popular River they taught us in elementary school. This is the wonderful River we all sang its song when young”. This is the third -largest river basin in the world I thought in my mind ”I wish our River Ògbèsè and Odò Òsé in Owo are as popular like this”. I unconsciously started the song:
Part of Mississippi bridge that connects Arkansas and Tennessee
Miiississippiii , Miiississippiii, Mississippi
M-i-ss-i-ss-i-pp-i ( spelling)
Miiissiiissippiii
Welcome to Mississippi
I sang, clapped and shook my body to the rhythm while Ronnie who was behind the wheels sang along with me . It was hilarious. It was interesting. It was fun.
Welcome to Tennessee
At first I thought of coming down from the car and be jumping up and down to dance. Yes!, I had wanted to display my acrobatic skills and tricks. But when I remembered where I was and I kept my cool. I behaved or else….. Olopa a kan arrest me niand nothing go happen .If you like call yourself Bobo T, T Bobo, BoN, Babalawo Of the Nation, nothing concern dem o. Again I stretched out my neck to view the surroundings. But there was one thing I noticed: there was no sacrifice (ebo) placed by its banks . There were no black clay pots with palm oil and eggs . There were no calabashes wrapped with white satin clothes , infact there was no white clothe that covered any object and there were no sacrificial meat or bones placed by the riverbank. I became restless as I stretched out my neck ( remember I am now a Giraffe) again to see whether I would see chicken or pigeons with their stomach ripped open and filled with palm oil and cowries. There was no slaughtered dog or duck with palm fronds and no broken clay pots with cowries.
I stretched out my long neck to take pictures of the white garment -wearing church – goers who came for spiritual bath in the river . I stretched out my long neck to shoot the video of the prayer warriors and the prophets with their dreadlocks praying , seeing visions and speaking in tongues by the riverbank .But none was sighted!.
Tokotiyawo a lu bembe. All in Tunica
I stretched out my neck to take pictures of man or woman bending down to pass excreta or urinate into the river but none seen . No dirt or refuse dumped around the place .The bridge was very clean . Looking afar off one could see the boats and canoes that berthed .Here, there were no Area Boys parading unnecessarily on the bridge and nobody was running after our car punching our noses to buy plantain chips or video CD .Nobody even ran after our car to clean the window glass or shield screen .Not a single soul was sighted on the bridge walking . I stretched out my neck again as I turned to Ostrich to see whether I would see any law enforcement officer who would stop us and ask for our papers, but what I saw were Video cameras capturing everything !.
Later Ronnie asked in smattering Yoruba language ” What is River Okese? And Odoo Hose?.” I laughed and told her that it is River Ogbese and Odò Òssé but not as she pronounced it. We all laughed. I boasted that River Niger bridge is also as strong as this Mississippi River.
PLANNED TO MEET DOLLY PARTON
As I sighted the river I could see that the bridge linked two states : Arkansas and Tennessee where the popular American Country Music Singer, Dolly Parton was born . We drove into the Tennessee town and had wanted to go to Parton for an interview but no time. However, Ronnie promised to do that next time. Yes1, I would have loved to ask Parton about the Tennessee song she sang .
MY TENNESSEE MOUNTAIN HOME
Sittin’ on the front porch on a summer afternoon In a straight-backed chair on two legs, leans against the wall Watch the kids a’ playin’ with June bugs on a string And chase the glowin’ fireflies when evenin’ shadows fall
In my Tennessee mountain home Life is as peaceful as a baby’s sigh In my Tennessee mountain home Crickets sing in the fields near by……..
I would have asked her to sing a song for me . I would have asked her whether she would come to Nigeria for a concert but all these would be next time . Now we are busy going places to mark our fourth year wedding anniversary .
As we arrived Memphis the home town of Elvis Presley the King of Rock & Roll, I reminded Ronnie that I needed to take pictures of these states and show it to my readers that we passed through the three states while going back home to St. Louis .
I TRANSFORMED TO OSTRICH AGAIN
As we passed the same bridge on our way back to St. Louis, I used my magical power and turned to Ostrich, the Father of all birds ( Ògòñgò Baba Eiye) . I brought out my camera and took some shots and videos. Walaitalai I took pictures and asked questions . I asked who discovered the Mississippi river? .Now if I say it is Bobo T, T Bobo or BoN, or Babalawo Of the Nation that discovered it they could stone me saying it has been there before I arrived.
But back home in Nigeria we would say and write that Mungo Park discovered River Niger . Was the river not there before Mungo Park arrived? .Then it was Lander Brothers and so on. I told Ronnie that I would write home and tell them how I discovered Mississippi , she laughed.
Marking our fourth year wedding anniversary in Tunica
Now my throat was dry. My throat was demanding for beer to push down the smoked turkey lap Ronnie bought . Oloun ooo my throat was asking for what we kept in the trunk . Walaitalai , Oloun ngbo my throat was saying” Bobo T, T Bobo , BoN, Babalawo Of the Nation go and take your Gin or Beer from the trunk”. But if I dare took them and drank…… hhmmmmmm, if the car smell of kain kain,hnmmmmmm. Again, when I remembered that this is not …..eria I quickly talked to my brain and exercised patience . When we got home I slept off like a log of wood .
The following day Ronnie said ” Last night you you were snoring and uttering speech, talking about Mississippi and that is called somniloquy. You were singing that song:
How will you feel if the late Elerewe is your Father, Brother, Cousin, Uncle or your friend?. Tell me!
We have all heard -rumour or no rumour .You know them . He knows them. She knows them. We all know them . They know them. Their children know them . The elders in the community know them even toddlers know them. The killers’ family and friends know them . All Owo people both home and abroad know them .The killers of Elerewe live with us. They live among us. They sleep in the community. Yes, Walaitalai they are not ghost!. I repeat , they are not strangers, Laiye nwon kii ise alejo! . Asiri ti tu. Akara ti tu s’epo but time will tell. The fact is that many are afraid to tell the truth . All is a matter of time. Five years’ time, 10 years’ time , 20 years’ time the killers will reveal EVERYTHING!.
Let them run. Let them hide. Let them be assisted by millionaires. Let the power that- be assisted them. Let them believe in their juju. Let them hide those AK47 guns they used . Let those guys who corked and released the bullets hide . Let them go to Church. Let them go to mosque. Let them invite Marabouts to their homes. Let them spend money . Let them use all connections in this world . BUT GOD IN HEAVEN , WALAITALAI ALLAH and ALL THE 2001 gods OF YORUBA LAND WILL NOT FORGIVE THEM. ALL THE IRUNMOLES WILL CURSE THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS.
The killers of Elerewe live with us. They live among us. They sleep in the community. Yes, Walaitalai they are not ghost!. I repeat , they are not strangers, Laiye! nwon kii ise alejo!
I repeat MAY THE FAMILY MEMBERS OF THOSE WHO HAD HANDS IN THE ASSASINATION OF CHIEF ELEREWE OF OWO KINGDOM BE PUT TO SHAME. THEY WILL DIE SHAMEFUL DEATH ONE AFTER THE OTHER IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME. MAY THE FAMILY MEMBERS OF THOSE WHO HAD HANDS IN THE KILLING OF TUNDE ILORI BE KILLED WITH GUN .MAY GOD IN HIS HIGHEST STRIKE THE FAMILIES OF THE KILLERS WITH INCURABLE SICKENESS
The late Elerewe of Owo Kingdom… I am sure his killers are now regretting
COME WHAT DID THE LATE CHIEF DO TO HAVE BEEN MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD?. WHAT COULD HE HAVE DONE ? . THIS WORLD IS EPHEMERAL. KI LODE? I REPEAT , THOSE WHO PLANNED AND THOSE WHO CARRIED OUT THE KILLING OF ELEREWE WILL NOT KNOW PEACE TILL THE END OF THEIR LIVES . MAY THE LIVES OF THE KILLERS BE UNSTABLE LIKE THE SEA. MAY THE PROBLEM IN THE LIVES OF THESE KILLERS BE LIKE THAT MOUNTAIN KILIMANJARO .MAY THE KILLERS COMMIT SUICIDE LIKE JUDAS ISACARIOT AFTER DROPPING THE 30 SHECKELS OF SILVER. MAY THE KILLERS END THEIR LIVES LIKE OYENUSI. MAY THE CHILDREN OF THOSE WHO KILLED ELEREWE DIE PREMATURELY. MAY THE WIVES OF THE KILLERS OF ELEREWE DIE IN SHAME . MAY THE IN-LAWS OF THE KILLERS OF ELEREWE BE DISGRACED BEFORE THEY DIE.
COME , WHAT DID TUNDE ILORI DO? WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN HIS OFFENCE? .WALAITALAI HIS KILLERS WILL SOON BE CONFESSING LIKE A TORMENTED WITCH . HIS KILLERS WILL HAVE ACCIDENT AND BURN IN HELL .HIS KILLERS WILL BE IN TROUBLE AND WILL BE BEGGING FOR MERCY . HIS KILLERS WILL BEG FOR BREAD. HIS KILLERS WILL BE IN FINANCIAL WAHALA BEFORE THEY DIE. HIS KILLERS WILL COMMIT SMALL CRIME THAT WILL EXPOSE THEM . HIS KILLERS WILL TAKE RAT POSION. HIS KILLERS WILL BE TORMENTED AND BECOME MAD AND BE CONFESSING .
BURIAL ARRANGEMENT FOR ELEREWE
This is a special announcement for everybody :the late Chief Elerewe will be buried on the so so and so date at so so and so time . Walaitalai , there is no date fixed for the burial. Bury ko, bury ni.
Elerewe continue to fight those who planned and killed you . Appear to your killers in their dreams . Chase them with sword and axe (Not cutlass) .You are still the Elerewe of Owo Kingdom .
Let one or two of the killers come out to confess. Let them quickly report themselves to the Police and have peace of mind. Yes, I know some of the killers are reading this article. And God cursed Cain.. …..he later became a Vagabond. The rest is History.
To those who killed Elerewe of Owo Kingdom don’t forget to target me o, olori buruku gbogbo, idiot. I owe you only one bullet even one stroke of ponpo is enough for me, who will not die?.Shiorr!
……The ancient town called BoN entertained two visitors few weeks ago .

I WAS JUST LAUGHING
MIND is powerful, it can construct and put things in shape. It can mar or make you. It can make you sad or make you happy . Your mind can travel one million miles while on your bed . It can transport you from where you are to anywhere in the world .It can catapult you and make you sit on Kilimanjaro mountain . With your mind you can be in Heaven or Paradise . You can be in Hell burning and can be in Heaven rejoicing and shouting Hallelujah with your mind . You can be like Satan or Angel depending how you want your mind to work. No wonder Williams Shakespeare said it all ”There is nothing either good or bad , but thinking ,makes it so ”. I was alone laughing yesterday while tears was coming from my eyes. Nobody to laugh with me but I told a friend to imagine how it must have been . Chei , if Baba Sala were around he could have made a movie from it . If Ajirebi, Aluwe , Awada Kerikeri, Baba Mero, Baba Suwe, Lukuluku Fantasi etc. were here.
Bobo T, T Bobo, BoN, Babalawo Of the Nation
Here is an imagination of a story from a town called BoN. A Chief was murdered in cold blood and suspects were rounded up .
Policeman
HOW CHIEF MOJEBI IKU SCALED THE FENCE
Immediately Chief Mojebi Iku heard that the Police officers were around, he peeped through the window to be sure . Yes , they were Mobile Police officers also known as Kogberegbe led by a Yoruba man Olounesan Kilonleyin ( Deputy Inspector General ). He screamed ” Wahala de, mo gbe !oghan mo r’oran!. He ran into his room and picked his traditional flowing gown (agbada) and his native cap ,but did not know he was wearing different buba and sokoto , all were not matched at all. He pretended he was going to a function . No, he did not tell his wife where he was going . He was confused . Who will blame him? who will see danger ahead and be talking ? Abeg which kind talk o jare?. He acted like that Jamaican athlete, Usain Bolt the fastest runner in the world but Chief never succeeded like Bolt.
He wanted to scale the fence but it was too high and his flowing gown could not let him be free , he then removed it within a twinkle of an eye. Ah!, how will they hear that they got me , emi odindi chief! .He ran into his room , looked for Gamallin 20 and Andrex 40 ,( apigi ) .Yes, he wanted to drink them to end his life , after all iku ya ju esin lo . No way, he did not see them under the bed where he kept them . What of the oogun eku , Soole, I mean rat poison ?, no way , he couldn’t find it again. Maybe I left them in the farm , or maybe my wife took it away , he thought . He became confused . Oloun Oba o, the armed -to-the teeth-policemen had surrounded his house .He thought of what he could do again . Then he remembered there is a well in the compound , he went to the well , untied the rope from a bucket and looked for a tree to hang himself but he saw no tree. Where are the cashew trees? Where are the Mango or guava trees? .None seen , he only sighted a pawpaw tree and pepper tree . Oh my God , so I don’t have mango trees here , he now remembered he had the trees on his farm, about 50kilometeres away!.
No, this pepper tree will not work, and this pawpaw tree is not strong .He then had a suggestion, let me climb the fence and jump from here . He scaled the fence but when he saw that his shoe was an impediment and the cement was smooth . He removed one of the the shoes and threw it away!. Then he flew his cap away! fiam. Mo gbe , they must not catch me , he soliloquized . He struggled to climb the smooth brick wall, ha! , its not good to be fat o. The more he climbed the more its slippery, while his beads were dangling on his neck. Kai alangba kare laiye! a lizard will climb it with its claws and snake will manage to do same but I will try my best , he said .
Chief Mojebi Iku scaling the fence
But this man is neither a snake nor lizard, he is a human being but trying to behave like one. The more he struggled to climb it like agama agama lizard the more he suffered setback. He managed to climb the brick wall that is as smooth as butter and as he landed on the ground he could not shake his head and praise himself like agama agama lizard who said if he was not praised he would praise himself for a job well-done ,but what did Chief see? two police officers waiting! Laiye , igbe aa fe ewe. As he made spirited effort to stand up, he failed. Oh my God he has become weak., he must have hurt his leg . He screamed ”Esee mi ooo’‘ ( my leg hurts), he must have sprained his leg because the brick wall fence is high , and while in secondary school the Chief did not participate in Sports not to talk of High Jump. Wahala de!
As he struggled to free himself , he heard some croaky voices ”kai , wanka ,sege barawo, you wan run? if you run I go shoot !, the officers shouted .They welcomed him with beatings of his life and with gun’s butt . Now he became gentle as a lamb and could not bear the beating anymore. The two police officers rained beatings on him .Yeeparipa , a whole chief! .His upper lip had cracked and swollen and now separated from the lower one. Kai, one tooth is gone and another one is shaking . Why not? . Kondo Olopa ni now, it speaks volumes on him. Blood , yes he spat , but didn’t see sputum but blood. He has developed a mountain on his head .Oga e jowo now, he begged but trust them, they did not understand Yoruba language for they are from the Northern part of Nigeria . They are kiigbo, kii gba, kogberegbe Mobile Policemen. They are all dark in complexion with frightening facial marks. Immediately the chief saw them he became humble and gentle .Again they beat him like the Yoruba beaded gourd, sekere. after all igbaju igbamu ni sekere fi n’ti ode ariya bo. Yoruba gourd returns home well battered from outing entertainment .
Family members crying over the loss of their breadwinner, Chief Olounada Aiyesoro who was brutally killed by suspected assassins
As he was struggling with the policemen , he suddenly became gentle because he could not receive the ”royal’ beatings anymore. What of the Olori Oko? Immediately he was intimated that they were after him he picked his car and faced Benin road. The rest is now history.
SECOND CHIEF
As Chief Motidaran Edarijimi sighted the police van , he screamed ” Ye mo gbe , oghon ti wa, o ti mu mi oooo, mo juya (I’m in trouble , the police have come to arrest me), please let me go into hiding . He then went behind the door to hide but the police officers saw his toes showing under the door and chorused ” this no be goat’s leg o, na human being be this , and they dragged him out from there with welcome beatings from there. Chei! wonder shall never end , the Chief started confessing like a tormented Witch saying ” Na true , I kill the Chief just because of money ni o, na Olojukokoro sent me oo I have not even received my balance.
Chief Motidaran Edarijimi behind the door
Please forgive me , Allah go forgive you” but trust the Mobile Policemen , they did not listen to him as they dragged him out and gave him a dirty slap in the present of his wife .The wife was asking what her husband did , but this annoyed the police officers as they rained beatings on her too, she screamed ” Oghon me a pa mi ku ooooo( they wanted to kill me oooo). One of his children advised his father to confess his atrocity and be free but trust the stubborn man , he was ashamed to do that in the public. The couple were dragged to the station where they started confessing like a tormented witch. The couple confessed and said ” na devil’s work o, please forgive us ”,
While Mr. Asiritu Olojukokoro who paid for the assassination was intimated that the Police had arrested some of his men , Chei , what will he do ?. He took his car key ,threw it away then began to run , and run and run and run ... Mo gbe ooo . Mi ma fi asisri a tu ooooo, if I had known I wouldn’t have planned this , he was telling one of his friends. On his way he went to some villages to consult some of his Babalawos , he told them that Oka ti fo, asiri ti tu , then what will I do now? The Babalawo told him not to be scared and gave him etu, tira, and ehin oka , ehin ejo, iru kiniun, ehin adiye, with imi ojo and osumare to bathe with. After three days he came back to the town , BoN . He spent money and said he was ready to spend 50million naira to evade justice. Ah, if I had known, and I don’t want to be jailed for life. Since then some of the suspects have been walking free and avoiding social gatherings . They have been to places doing sacrifices and rituals to let the case die down.But will the case die down? Laiye, eewo , aa tigbo?.
When the suspects talk in the public , they would just be talking and talking without sense just trying to defend themselves whereas the people of BoN are just watching . Mr. Orunrie Seotan said ” No matter how they run they will still get them because the Chief they killed is not resting , he will fight spiritually .
MUSICIANS
As these suspects were fleeing , Bob Marley’s album Kaya was playing ” ‘Running Away’

He is coming back to this world to marry, to procreate, die and be buried. He was taken to heaven but the next time he comes back he will die and be buried.
Abduljelil during the interview 1
“He will be buried in Medina and the space where he will be buried is kept there to date, it is by the side where Mohamed is buried”.
He continued”Jesus Christis not the son of God but a Prophet of God .For God said that He has no child of His, has no friend and no relatives . He is the only One.

This reporter ran into this man in a Beer Parlour drinking heavily out of frustration. He narrated his story below
MY STORY
” Some years ago I registered with a fake name in an hospital . I kept avoiding a woman each time she passed by me . Each time she tried to smile at me I would frown my face and pretended as if I didn’t see or know her. I wore my dark goggle to avoid being seen or identified by anybody while I was praying silently within me. ”Next person!”, the laboratory Phlebotomist called me and I went in. The Phlebotomist brought out a syringe , drew my blood for blood work and asked me to come back for my result three days later.
”On the day of appointment, Thursday, I went back to the hospital to know the result as advised . The Phlebotomist called my name and advised me to join the queue going for Counseling . I asked ”what type of counseling?. But you asked me to come for my result, what counseling again?”. He smiled and advised me to sit with the 20 other patients sitting on the bench . I reluctantly obeyed, expecting to see the doctor. From there we were led into a big Hall . Lo and behold I now met the woman I had been avoiding since I had been coming to the hospital face -to- face .
” The woman stood on the dais with her stethoscope dangling on her two breasts .She politely addressed us all ” Don’t be afraid , HIV does not kill again as it used to be but you have to be taking your medication as instructed. Look at me , I am a medical doctor and I have been living with HIV since 2001 and still alive. It is when one does not take his medication that it becomes full blown AIDS. So whoever tells you it’s going to kill you please educate him and tell him there are many diseases that kill faster than HIV/AIDS”. She then pointed at me and said ‘Mr. X how are you?’, I did not answer her because I was still dodging her and I did not write ‘X’ on my hospital card . I registered my name as Kadukadu K . Again, she called my name and pointed at me , and said ‘I am talking to you Mr. Kadukadu K who is now Mr. X’, I reluctantly smiled and answered her .
”That was how I now met Dr. Kayefi again after 10 months of meeting her in an hotel where she came for an Health programme. I now recollected the whole episode and knew where my story began and ended.
A QUICKIE
”It was one evening about two years ago ,when my company sent me to attend a Seminar in an hotel . Another Workshop was being held in same Hotel under the Ministry of Health. After the end of the first Workshop many interacted . As a woman was passing bye , she was being called by another woman who I believe was her colleague. The mere mention of ”D. Doctor” scattered my brain , and apart from that she possessed all the statistics I wanted in a woman —brain and beauty. I abandoned the second segment of our programme and did not leave for home that evening since I was still a bachelor .
”I called the doctor and told her how I fell in love with her, and we exchanged numbers. She smiled and told me she needed to go but I invited her into my room, Room 322. In the evening she came as promised while I made effort to have sex with her but she refused . She said since she is a Medical doctor she knew the implication of such a thing. She in all honesty and sincerity said we were both strangers to each other and did not know each other’s HIV status. I pleaded to her that I wanted to romance her and cool my ‘tension’ . With my sugar coated mouth she succumbed to my demand and undressed. We had a good romance and no sex as agreed .We went into another second round of romance again . I held her tight as usual but before you knew it I had forced myself in , and she screamed ‘Whaaaaaaaat? No, no.But Why? Why?. U made a big mistake and a big risk. I thought you are matured enough to hold on and romance only. Poor you.Damn you. What if I am HIV positive?’. She left and we were just calling each other on phone without meeting as each of us claimed we were busy at work.
”When I became sick , and stooling with rashes on my body , I was asked to do some tests including HIV. That was when I ran into her at the hospital where she works but I kept dodging her .
”After counselling us , she called me to her office and said ‘I have been seeing you for the past three weeks coming to the hospital but each time I tried to approach you, you always avoid me and our profession respects confidentiality” .
”She continued ‘I have been battling with HIV since 2001. And when we met 10 months ago I told you I was not in the mood .Infact if I wanted to have it I would have used condom’. ‘She asked how many ladies I had slept with but I kept quiet and did not answer her .I told her my fiancee is in Norway and I was planning to join her soon. She advised me to let her know my status .
”According to her , HIV no longer kill as she too had contracted it but had three lovely children who are negative. She said ‘I contracted HIV through my husband who later confessed and we got married at last for I had no choice then and didn’t want to infect others. He died about two years ago and I had been using vibrator to ease my tension since I don’t want to go into any relationship . Don’t blame me , its your fault and moreover I don’t know whether you had it before meeting me. Go and tell your fiancée and if she is still interested in you fine, but mark you I cannot marry you for I had all my three children by cesarean operation.’
As she was talking her phone rang .She rose and said she had just been called to a meeting .
This is a true life story .It happened in 2007.The man is still alive
I deceived people, used magic and called it miracle. I did a lot of unholy things in the name of God. I made money and as I was planning to buy a Jet things went wrong. Today, I regretted all these.
BoN’s Adventure
He bares his mind to this reporter ,”Please Ògá Journalist don’t mention my name ”. He repeated his warning :”Don’t ever record my voice and please switch off your phone (he took my phone and switched it off) but you can jot down your points” .
IN THE BEGINNING
” My story is irritating, disgusting ,nauseating and nasty. I am ashamed of myself but I have repented . You see, I finished from the University of …….. in the late ’70s where I bagged Bachelor of Arts degree in English language with a second Class Upper Division from a prestigious University. Believe me, by then jobs were waiting for me and one of them was teaching .
”My father was a respected Reverend in one of the Anglican Churches from the ’60s till ’80s, and you know there were no miracles then ,it was only Jeesu nwosan, Jeesu ngbala, Ara ,Oore, E wa too wo, oyinmomo we sang ( Jesus heals , Jesus saves , friends , come and taste it , its sweet). Unfortunately, my father died a poor Reverend.
MY STORY
”In the early ’80s I started going to Pentecostal churches where they preached miracles and prosperity. There was a serious drift from the age -long orthodox churches to Pentecostal Churches!. In fact it threatened and shook the orthodox churches.
” I got closer to some of these overnight Pastors/Men of God and knew the secret behind their high number of their congregants ,wealth, miracles and their speaking in tongue etc. After two years I established my own Ministry.
HOW I GOT MY POWER
”Today how many are speaking in tongue? How many miracles are genuine?. How many are Holy spirit- filled?. All is ruse and voodooism .
”I used afose ( juju) and I also have talismanic rings from India ,I have ifunpa and igbadi (leather strings) . There was a special water I used to bath with in the morning before going to face the congregation. In fact I used to take hard drink and ”shirk” ,used perfume and be licking sweet before going to church to minister.
” For miracle to happen one needs to ‘belong’. To be able to speak in tongue one needs to be ‘taught’. To be rich one needs a tutor /mentor. I slept in the bush for one month eating a whole raw bush rat everyday . I buried six Holy Bible and seven of Six and Seven Books of Moses at the altar while in all corners of the Church I buried houseflies, three live tortoises and two heads of male and female crocodiles . I used mucus ( eye gunk ) of a dog (ipin oju) in order to be seeing vision and foretell the future. In the middle of the church I buried a big cow – that was how my church grew. At the beneath of the Pulpit, Altar, pews and entrances to the church I buried strange things there . Apart from this ,human beings were buried alive in the four corners of the church. Each time I remember how some of them cried in pains I felt sick.
MY MIRACLES
”The miracles I performed always lasted two weeks only and the disease or problem of the healed person would come back again.
”While performing miracles , I would stretch out my right hand, (with esoteric power ) fixed my eyes on their sore/withered limbs and healed them but the healing was always temporal. At times I would connive with some greedy Medical personnel in the laboratories to forge and issue fake HIV /AIDS positive and negative reports for the intending patients who would pose to have the disease and got healed. I would mix their medication with their food and water to make sure they are healed or recuperate from their ailments(for those having curable diseases) yet always instruct them not to take medication (so that my own ‘miracle’ would work). In church I would organize some strangers who would pretend to be cripple and before the service starts would walk round and make sure they were seen and sighted by many people but nobody knew them . Mind you, we have experts who were paid and could do it perfectly .
I PERFORMED MIRACLES
”I have some special suits where I concealed some electric shock materials and when worn always attract people. Whoever touches them would experience electric shock this they believe is Holy Spirit ,that is why many run after me to touch me believing I have the power of miracle.Many fall to my anointing.
”While going for crusades I would go with the Holy water and this is a mixture of water from the sea and Atlantic ocean water mixed with the water used to wash dead bodies in mortuary. I have used the fetus of pregnant women along with umbilical cord of twins mixed with some concoctions. I wear juju rings on my toes . In my crusade I organized for patients who are recuperating from their illness but not the dying ones. My miracles have expiry dates like drugs which should be renewed every two years. After the expiration of the second year I had to go for another ritual .This I did for years until I left Port Harcourt for Lagos,Kenya and South Africa .
”I lived in South Africa for many years where I learnt the art of abracadabra in ”raising” up the dead, walking on water and even appearing from the sky . Later I came back to Nigeria to settle down. I wanted to start doing all these in Nigeria and was gathering more people to be more popular. Many Pastors in South Africa know me very well, some are still practicing all these. There are fake miracles but miracles like mine don’t last because you have to keep on renewing the juju each time it expires.I have traveled to many countries sourcing and renewing my power.
”The danger in it is that one does not have peace of mind as it keeps on demanding for one thing or the other and that is why you see some pastors confused and angry when preaching in church.
”When many so called ‘Men of God’ started joining the league of Miracle Pastors , especially the young jobless graduates the number of our followers started going down .
WE CAJOLE THEM TO PAY MONEY
”It is not easy to convince the congregation to pay or donate money but I cajole them , quote from the Holy Bible and systematically place curse on whoever refuses to pay or ask others not to pay. Several times I used afose combined with the Holy Bible and Holy Koran passages in order to squeeze money from them .I tell them to pay or donate for church building, altar and all different kinds of projects .I educate them the blessing one receives in paying tithes and thanksgivings of different kinds . I published books on Praise worship, prayer etc as I would just write few words with big English vocabularies supported with some passages in the Bible.
”You must pay to receive miracles , we give out our account number.I was planning to buy a Jet and build a mega University and have names of my children and wife incase I die. And when I die my wife must replace me , according to my Will. But the bubble burst when my second in command quarreled with me over money and exposed me.
WHY I REPENT
”After amassing wealth and popularity I was tired of renewing all these expired sacrifices and rituals because no matter what you have to renew at least one item in a week when it expires and before you know it, it becomes everyday thing. But I finally stopped when my first and last born were killed in an auto crash as I forgot to renew my pledges .
”It was one church member who during a vigil discovered the big coffin buried in the church while some ritual items were also discovered and they alerted others. Later my second in command , we called Senior Pastor exposed me because of our disagreement over money .
”When I was not around he brought some boys to dig all the places where we buried our ”materials” , not only this, they dug out live snake from where it was kept. They removed the clay pot of palm oil , tortoise and human bones from the ceiling.
”One day I called some of my pastors and miracle healers in South Africa and told them that I was no longer interested in all these fetish things that the sources of my power had leaked and exposed to the media. The social media exposed all these the more.
”You see these fake pastors are everywhere , some would say they are healing diseases but let them go to the hospital and heal the sick, let them go to where amputees, cripples and those who are bedridden are and heal them. Now , some pastors are asking their followers to be eating grass, Pastors immersed themselves in drums filled with water and would ask their followers to drink from it . Some would tell you their semen heals, Infact some claim they raised up the dead as Jesus Christ raised Lazarus from dead while some claim to be Jesus Christ walking on the streets. All is ruse, rubbish and practice of voodoo.
”I deceived people, used magic and called it miracle. I did a lot of unholy things in the name of God. I made money and when I was planning to buy a Jet things went wrong.Today, I regretted all these
”Now I am back home and as poor as church rat but I have peace of mind. I have wasted my precious time for 25 years. Now I have retraced my step and back into Anglican Church. I now know that not all that glitter is gold ”.
