I WAS SHOT 300 BULLETS BUT I CAME OUT UNSCRATCHED- DR. CHRIS OKAFOR

Some months back, the revered Prophet, Dr. Chris Okafor of Mountain of Liberation and Miracles Church, Ogudu, Lagos, was kidnapped in Awka, Anambra State by those he prefers to call Terrorists. Bravo Weekly’s Assistant Editor, Paschal Oge Chikero, caught up with him at the Muritala Muhamed Airpot as he arrived Lagos from Anambra State . later we moved to Sheraton Hotel where this interview was conducted . In this interview he reveals his miraculous experience in the dungeon. Enjoy.

Welcome back; tell us how it all happened

You see, in all things you have to give thanks to God. Without God I will not be here today, I will not be alive, so I thank him.

How was the experience generally

Some Newspapers wrongly wrote that I was dead; you can see that I am not dead; it was my enemies that died not me.  We went to Nnewi and rounded off the programme in Awka, a five days crusade.  I was rushing back to meet the Sunday service, we were rushing to get to Benin so we can take flight. God had revealed ahead before it happened. We were to ply the popular route but the road was very bad so my driver decided that we use other routes. Before we could know what was happening they opened fire on fire on us, they were shooting as if it was war! They didn’t come as Kidnappers because Kidnappers don’t want to kill their victim so they can get their ransom.  The Amanda jeep will be coming back to Lagos soon. We were shot over 300 bullets but none harmed those of us inside because God was inside, the fourth man in the fire was with us. If God send you, he must proof his mandate in your life; God went with Daniel into the den of Lion. If you see the vehicle, nobody believes that anybody inside will survive.  I gave the people with me an order not to come down from the vehicle because there is a covering on the car but one of orderly, Adamu may be in a bid to do his job came down and was killed. May his gentle soul rest in peace.  When the hoodlums came, they thought they were coming to carry out dead people because when they came, they were saying, so you didn’t die? I asked them not to hurt anybody. They took me and my PA away.

You said earlier that God revealed to you that something like this would happen, what measure were put in place to make sure it didn’t manifest

First of all the revelation came from God.  You are asking about the measures we put in place so that it won’t happen, there are some things God have destined to happen, God allowed Daniel to go into the Lion’s den to proof the enemies wrong .He said you will walk through the fire, he didn’t say you will not walk through the fire but you will walk through the fire and the fire will not burn you, you will walk through the water and it will not over flow you. God just want people to understand that he has power beyond that of the enemy.  At a time they knew they couldn’t kill me.   I was there with the former Speaker of Imo State House of Assembly, Hon. Godfry Dikeocha, I prayed and he was released two days ago. To me these guys are not Kidnappers, I think they are Terrorists.

Were you manhandled?

One occasion, they carried us to State CID Awka, they attacked the State CID, shooting sporadically. We were inside the boot. In all these God told me there shall be no lose and there wasn’t except the police men they attack. For me to come out alive shows that God is alive because it’s not by my power. 

You said that they are not Kidnappers but Terrorists, do you think there are some people backing them to do these things to innocent people

I think the problem is the government, they told me, man of God, we are not after you no body sent us after but politicians bought these guns for us during elections but when they get what they are looking for, they forget about us so we have to help ourselves.

Don’t you think that they must have gotten information that you made so much money at the crusade and they came after you for their share?

No I don’t think so because they ran into us. They are experts, when they see security people they shoot at sight. When you blame them, you blame the government. Most of those guys are graduates, they have jobs to do. When the government cannot guarantee safety of life and property, jobs for the people, the people will have to help themselves, they are doing all these because of money.  As a matter of fact, it was a miraculous experience because they were confessing that Angels were appearing to them telling them that if you don’t let that man go there will be problem. On Monday an Angel instructed their leader to drop me off , there was so much trouble that they didn’t know what to do. At a t a time they couldn’t sleep. They came to me to pray for them. They were saying, man of God, we don’t know the God you are serving, gun cannot kill you, please pray for us. we are being tortured every night. Then they said we will let you go, when you give us money, we will release your PA. I told them no money will be given to them. They asked me of my village, I told them. They said the Angel instructed them to take me back to my father’s house. They drove me to my father’s compound. They told my parent that this man is not an ordinary man. Within 24 hours my PA was released.

Any ransom paid?

None.

We heard that some of your church members agreed to pay N20 Million

Well I don’t know the church member who agreed to pay the N20 Million the truth is that no ransom was paid.

In all how many days did you spend there?

I spent 52 days.

How did you people feed?

The God who supplied food to Elijah through a Raven took charge; even without food God sustained us. Look at me, they said I am dead but here I am unscratched.  Lion does not eat all flesh and no matter what happens, Lion will never eat grass.

How did you receive the story that you were dead?

It was like Joseph who was buried while he was still alive. There was no means of communication, its only times in the mid night that you are allowed to make calls. When you make the call you are taken back and the phone switched off. You can’t even recognize the place because they blind fold everybody.

What do you think can be done to arrest this?

We have bad government, until the government rises up to the occasion this evil will not stop. God wanted me to go there to know what people are going through. Politicians are in politics because of the money they can make from it not to elevate the living standard of the people.

From the Bible we that God always sent Prophets to prepare his people against something coming, you are a man of God, don’t you think God allow this to happen to awaken something inside of you

Everyone who followed my programme knows that we speak against evil, we don’t support it. A young man once brought money that is difficult for anybody to refuse, when he came before me he said it was his tithe but God showed me that it was blood money, I refused the money. He said if I don’t take it he will go and pay it another place I said go and pay it another place. So it’s about doing good, it’s how long you have been doing it. The important thing here is that we went, we saw and we conquered!

In nutshell what do you think this experience means?

When God wants to do something, some people will be affected; God has used this to show that this is the man I have sent to the nation of Africa. I want him to be the Daniel, Elijah of Africa. Who has seen by himself and came out unhurt.  There are some things that God has destined to happen for your own good there is nothing you can do about it. Thank you and also I thank those who wrote that I am dead.

                                                    

SUPER STARS ARE RAISED BY SUPER MOMS-SOLA FAJOBI

The name Sola Fajobi is synonymous with the likes of Tajudeen Adepetu, Wale Adenuga. He is the youngest of the trio but he is sure living up to his mettle. He is the big masquerade behind house hold TV contents like Next Movie Star, Excite on TV, Groove on TV, D8, SuperMom to mention a few. He is the Captain of the fast sailing D. I. M ship, Digital Interactive Media, producers of the above mentioned TV programs. In this interview with Bravo Weekly’s Paschal Oge Chikero, he opens up on the fantastic idea of the celebrity edition of SuperMom and life generally. Enjoy the excerpts.

What is the idea behind SuperMon’s Celebrity edition?

SuperMom is basically about the celebration of mothers, so far we have worked with ordinary Nigerians whose mothers contributed immensely to their success in life.  We have followed the same pattern so far so we thought we need to refresh the show, we need to make it bigger, we need to engage the audience more. We had a few ideas to play with; we narrowed down to the celebrity edition. There are a lot of our celebrities out there; people need to feel them as normal human beings. They sleep, they eat, and they drink just like we do. They go to toilet, some even snore. Somebody also gave birth to them. For us we it was an opportunity to share their story, their growing up and becoming who they have become, that’s what we are doing with the celebrity edition.

The show will be coming up very soon, who are the celebrities Nigerians are going to be watching out for

A whole lot of them. We selected them based on different things and from different sectors of the entertainment industry. Some are musicians, some comedians, some are actors, and some are media personnel. We have Chiko Ejiro, Julius Agwu, Abas Akande Obesere, the Fuji maestro himself, who talked about how his mother shaped him even when he was drifting, his mother was able to use prayers and advice to bring him back. Yaw of Wazobia FM, Aunty Binta Ayo Mogaji, Skales, Flavour, Kenny Saint Brown of the Ogungbes, Seyi Law the comedian. We have about 20 celebrities that we will be celebrating their moms.

From the concept of SuperMom, one wonders if the society doesn’t appreciate the contribution of the father in the up bringing a child. What do you make of this?

The fathers have a lot of responsibilities. In fact most times the fathers contribute more but you must know that a child has a bond with the mother right from the womb to breast feeding etc. while the father is busy running around raising money for the family, the mother is busy shaping the life of the child. The mother is the Chief Executive Officer of the home while the man is the Chairman. You also hear stories of fathers not being responsible enough and in such cases, the mother takes up responsibilities because she doesn’t have excuse, she can’t tell the children stories so she suffers to see them through life. That is why it seems that people world over celebrate mothers more than fathers. That doesn’t mean fathers are not celebrated, exceptional fathers deserve to be celebrated. A lot of people have been asking me when are you going to do super dad but I am hoping that something strategic will come up.

How can the concept of SuperMom impact in the lives of an average Nigerian watching it?

If you look at the previous SuperMom editions, the key lessons within the emotions, people crying. Last year one of the things we specialized on was that, extraordinary mothers are those who contributed to the success of their children not to the existence of their children. The lesson is that, if I make sure my children have the best, they will turn out the best and will in turn celebrate me, take good care of me. If you take care of your children and all of them are comfortable, trust me there is no how they will leave you to suffer. So SuperMom is a way of telling young ladies and even mothers to not shy away from their responsibilities, to do more for their children so that they will get more.

That means the Celebrity edition is a progression of the theme of SuperMom, if you take care of you children, they will become celebrities and you will be celebrated

If you look at the creative direction, it says I am a super star because of my super mom, it simply means that I wouldn’t have become a super star without my super mom.

You have other TV contents on TV like Next Movie Star, Excite on TV, Groove on TV, D8 etc. As an entrepreneur in Nigeria how do you get by?

Tough, very tough, perseverance is the language. Determination, Creativity is also the language. Next Movie Star is the longest independently produced reality show still running. If you look at our programmes, you will agree me with that we have been consistent, we have been persevering a lot of stuffs. Sometimes you say God, how I wish I am in another industry.

Some months back top independent producers had a conference to plan on how to make TV stations reduce air time charges, is that struggle still on

The struggle is still on. The biggest challenge we have as independent producers is broadcast. Broadcast takes between 60% to 70% of all the revenues we generate, which leaves us with 30 to 40% for tax, salaries, production, marketing, operations etc. in this industry, we are barely surviving, people see us doing big projects and they think we are making a whole lot of money but they don’t know we are just surviving. The struggle will continue to be on until something is done to stem this tide. If you make a million naira and you pay 600,000 to for air time, how do you pay salary, how do you produce and do other things you want to do. So we are trying to get coordinated. We must allow the government do its part by providing the necessary infrastructures. The way it is now the focus is not on content any more but on when your programme is running. This is because producers are using their money to buy air time than in producing creative contents. But they forget that if you run a good content by midnight, people will watch.

Abroad Broadcast stations buy TV contents here the reverse is the case. Do you think we can get to that point where TV stations will start buying contents?

It is true TV stations pay for contents abroad but Nigeria is a different environment. The industry is clustered. Just like Nollywood, 20 years ago the industry was young and few people who had passion for the industry were the ones in it but now everybody is there and this is the reason the industry is not fantastic any more except for a few young Film makers who have taken their works to the cinemas. That same thing is happening to TV.  Everybody wants to produce. If the TV stations are exposed to just 100 top notch TV contents that are for sale, they will be able to pay but if they are exposed to 5000 and producers are begging them for air time, they will just relax and say let he who can pay for the air time come and get it. So I don’t know if it will ever change. It’s a period of unemployment challenges so people are going to do a lot of things not because of passion but for survival. I just hope that things get better, I hope that content becomes king because right now content is not king yet.

In the industry, who do you look up to, who inspires you

Ah! A few of them, Tajudeen Adepeju is someone who I have been very close to, he is my mentor, he is my friend, and he is my brother. I also look up to Wale Adenuga who consistently for the past 30 years has been in the content business either for print or electronics. And also a few other younger ones but I look up to these two and share a fantastic relationship with Taju Adepetu.

Let’s talk about your growing up. What was the thing your parents enshrined in you that has made you who you are today?

Well in my case, our parents got divorced when I was very young. We all stayed with our dad so he was the major influence in our lives. He did a good job in us because he keeps reminding us that the name is more important than any other thing. I have never been for the money in anything I do. I have been fulfillment driven.

Was there anything in your background that inspired the TV content maestro that you are today

I was a creative person while growing up. Those days we used say, there are three kinds of people in the world, those who make things happen, those who see things happen and the ones that can never believe anything is happening.  So at that point I told myself that I am going to be among the people who make things happen.  Secondly, I grew up in a poor environment so I told myself it’s me against the world. I believe I will succeed no matter what it takes and I have excelled in everything I have done. If you take me out of the content business and put me in another environment, as long as I can get a level of training, I will succeed but I love the content business.

It’s been nice talking to you

OBY EDOZIE'S PICTURE STORY!!!!

Another Actor Will Die Soon -Prophet TB Joshua

Another Actor Will Die Soon

-Prophet TB Joshua  

Just some weeks ago, a prophecy made by top Nigerian prophet and head of Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN), Prophet TB Joshua on the death of an African leader came to pass. Alas! It was the President of Malawi that was the victim.The controversial man of God at his second service on Easter Sunday, April 9, 2012 warned the movie industry to pray against the death of a male actor."Actors in Nollywood should pray against death of a male member of the industry," Prophet TB Joshua warned.
The Nigerian film industry witnessed a series of deaths last year. Ashley Nwosu, Sam Loco Efe, Geraldine Ekeocha and others all died. This year has already witnessed the death of David Ihieze and James Iroha popularly called Gringory. Now who is next?

TINUBU OWNS IKEJA SHOPRITE

TINUBU OWNS IKEJA SHOPRITE

-PDP Alleges

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has alleged that former Lagos State Governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu illegally acquired the new Shoprite in Alausa, Ikeja, valued at N14 Billion .
The PDP also alleges that Tinubu took funds from the coffers of the Lagos State Government during his tenure and used same proceed to acquire Oriental Hotels, Renaissance Hotel, Agindingbi, First Nation Airline, Vintage Publications, TV Continental and Radio Continental.

National Vice Chairman of the PDP, South West, Chief Segun Oni, in a statement said many other properties illegally acquired with proceeds from corruption are traceable to the former Lagos Governor.

“Instead of attacking President Jonathan, shouldn’t the ACN be explaining to the public, who owns the N14 Billion naira Ikeja Shopping Mall that was built on Lagos Secretariat land, who acquired the land at Ikosi, Ketu, Lagos, former campus Lagos State Polytechnic, who owns Oriental Hotel, Renaissance Hotel, Agindingbi, First Nation Airline, Vintage Publications (publishers of The Nation newspapers), TV Continental, Radio Continental, and so many other illegal and corrupt acquisitions?, Oni asked in the statement.

“The ACN should tell Nigerians how a man who was governor for eight years with fixed salary and allowances could have acquired so much money to buy almost everything in Lagos and stop insulting our sensibilities with nonsensical talks which are only aimed at covering up their non-performance and looting of treasuries in the States under their control.

“What Nigerians demand from them are explanations as to the reckless and obscene appropriation of properties belonging to Lagosians by Bola Tinubu and his stupendous wealth which is at the expense of tax payers in Lagos, Osun, Ekiti, Oyo and Ogun States, the PDP National Vice Chairman said.

Oni said in the statement signed by his Media Aide, Mr. Lere Olayinka that; “it is the height of hypocrisy for a party, whose leader; Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu has converted all properties belonging to Lagos State to his personal use to attack the president, just because a contractor chose to invest in the propagation of the work of God by renovating a church in the president’s village instead of him (President Jonathan) collecting gratis from the contractors.”


Oni described the call by the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) for the impeachment of President Goodluck Jonathan over renovation of a church building in his village by a contractor as not only satanic but irresponsible, saying; “the ACN people should first remove the beam in their eyes before looking at the specks in another person’s eyes.”

He said; “Would the ACN have preferred that the said contractor hand the money used for the church renovation to President Jonathan as they would have done if they were the president? Or that the contractor should have doled out the money to Tinubu as part of his birthday largesse as done by ACN governors in the Southwest?

“For instance, when I was governor of Ekiti, I rejected gratis from contractors and the contractors are still alive. Instead, I told them to use the money for charity and they decided to buy vehicles for Schools for the Handicaps in the State. They bought the vehicles, donated them as ‘Friends of Segun Oni’ and as at today, the buses are still being used by the schools.

“I think the problem with these ACN people is that they think they are above everyone, including God. That is why they could come up with such satanic position just because a company performed its social responsibility by helping to promote the work of God.

“For instance, in Ekiti State, whenever they are faced with questions as to their failure to deliver the Eldorado that they promised the people, they will quickly come up with allegations of corruption against my person. But for over 17 months, it has been threats and no action and as at today, they are still searching their books.”

AYO ANIMASHAUN OF HIP HOP WORLD MAG SWINDLED

Anyone who knew this dude 15 years ago will testify to the fact that the Lord has been good! Recently news got to us that this head honcho at the now very respected and formerly MTN sponsored Hip Hop World Awards now rebranded to The Headies, Ayo Animashaun, fell into the wrong hands of bad money changers at Allen, Ikeja, Lagos. According to the information at our disposal, he went there to change some Dollars. After changing, he counted and confirmed that the money was complete but his hairs erected in shock when he got home and recounted but discovered that the money was no more the equivalent of the foreign currency he changed. Then he started screaming Ole! Did I hear you say Fulani Juju at the highest level? 

HOW D'BANJ'S MOTHER SPONSORED MO' HITS

That Don Baba J and his partner of many years, D’banj are separated is old news and that is not what you will be reading about here. There has been a lot of controversies trailing the Mo Hits family in recent years which also informed the reason many thought that this might be another media karate by this media manipulators but the puzzle began its clarity journey when Dbanj claimed in an interview in Ebony.com that he owns Mo Hits and Don Jazzy and other Mo Hits artistes are his artistes! That actually landed hard on our jaws like a Mike Tyson’s punch. Later on, that statement was edited which gave birth to yet another question mark. After wards Don Jazzy took up his smart phone to talk to his over 200, 000 twitter followers. There he confirmed the beginning of a new era, carefully omitting the mention of Mo Hits, D’banj and the word break up. Then came the release of Oliver Twist’s video without the presence of Don Jazzy, Wande Coal and the rest of Mo Hits’ crew.  We did our secret investigation and discovered something important-who owns Mo Hits Records. We spoke to someone who knows both of these super stars and how they started Mo Hits, he said that when Dbanj and Don Jazzy came back from England, Dbanj’s mother gave them the money with they started the record label. According the source, Dbanj brought the money while they relied on Don Jazzy’s beats making genius and entertainment industry experience thereby agreeing to run the company on a 50/50 sharing formula but the mistake they made was, they never had an MOU to that effect! So they were running a multi million naira empire on a Pady Pady level.

IBRU WIDOW DRAGS IN LAW TO COURT OVER HUSBAND’S PROPERTY

THE CRACK IN THE IBRU FAMILY

IBRU WIDOW DRAGS IN LAW TO COURT OVER HUSBAND’S PROPERTY

Contrary to the general believe that the Ibru family is a well knitted family with large entrepreneurial heart, the story you are reading will reveal the hatred and disconnect between the members of the family. Recently the widow, Mrs Maiden Ibru, of the late Alex Uruemu Ibru, publisher of Guardian Newspaper, who died on November 28, 2011, was at the Federal High Court Lagos praying to it to wind up a business concern jointly owned by her late husband and his brother Goodie Ibru. You wonder why she did that. Hear her: “Six months before my husband died, the Doctors told me he was going to die and for five months he was out of circulation, nobody saw him even his family members did not bother about him. Two weeks before he died, he embarked on a hunger strike, when the family members heard about it, some of them came to see him including Mr. Goodie Ibru. When Mr. Goodie came, the deceased said he didn’t expect he would be talking. Then my husband said he was going to fight him to the finish, dead or alive. That even when he dies he will continue the fight unless he, Goodie Ibru, resigns as the Chairman of the company (Tourist Company Nigeria Plc). He said that of all his brothers the last person he thought will betray him is Goodie. They had altered some of the documents, diverted money and committed all sourts of atrocities without the knowledge of my husband.”

MALAM NASIR EL RUFAI SHOPS FOR N25 M BULLET PROOF JEEP

MALAM NASIR EL RUFAI SHOPS FOR N25 M BULLET PROOF JEEP

It won’t come as a surprise especially as many think that this Northern Nigeria Elite made so much money while serving Olusegun Obasonjo’s government as FCT Minister.  Since after the 2011 general elections when his new Principal, Muhamed Buhari, lost the election to the present president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan, El Rufai has become extremely anti- government. All over the social media he has become what members of the Goodluck Jonathan led government will prefer to term, social media Terrorist! No Week passes without him lampooning the Federal Government. Now the latest is he is now on the run. Our source revealed that he and the head Pastor at the Later Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare are the most wanted men by the reigning government. He, El Rufai recently told Pastor Bakare that they need bullet proof cars so as to protect themselves from assassination. When Tunde Bakare asked how much it will cost to get one, he was told that it will cost him N25 Million. With widened eyes, he said, “I don’t have such money. “ Don’t be amazed if you see El Rufai  in one any time soon.

SIASIA GOES TO CHURCH

SIASIA GOES TO CHURCH

Yes this should slap like Bruce Lee’s Karate leg slap on your face. It is a fact these days that football has gone spiritual in this part of the world, unlike abroad where the game is strictly a technical thing. These days those who win something for Nigeria are those who they say seek the face of the Lord. In the past we have stories of Shuabu Amodu, the bitter kola chewing soccer tactician, seeking the favour of God through Prophet T.B Joshua; it was also rumoured that the present setbacks in Nigerian football is due to the ill-treatment unleashed on this man whom T.B Joshua prays for. Now to the sugar in this tea, it has been discovered that former head coach of the Super Eagles, Samsom Siasia A.K.A Sia 1, has also joined the league of serious church going soccer tacticians. Yours truly can authoritatively tell you that Siasia and his entire family are very active members of The Redeemed Evangelical Mission, TREM, Vision House, Utako, Abuja. When I say active, I mean every letter of it. According to an inside source, Samson Siasia’s wife attends every programme the church does and she is very involved in church contributions. On the other side, Siasia besides also participating in church activities is also the Coach of the Church’s Sport Ministry which trains members on physical aerobics. Wondering if God is blessing him? Hold on let me help you. Siasia is the only living Ex International cum Super Eagles’ head coach who has a whole stadium to his name. Come on he has witnessed his own immortality!
