Corona Virus: Church Leaders abandons God, Suspends Masses, Deliverance




Written by Obinna Akukwe

The Corona Virus scourge in Nigeria had shown how church leaders, agents and oracles of divinity have abandoned God and closed down churches for fear death. The rate at which religious leaders in Nigeria tremble before Corona Virus had only opened up the nakedness of all the empty masses, empty communion, empty deliverance and empty confessions which these men used to hoodwink their followers.

This is the time when the God they profess to their followers will be called upon to intervene, and the churches have abandoned God, closed churches, tuned to CNN, Fox News, China News to know whether they will survive or not.Image result for covid archbishop of lagos

Churches have suspended the hallowed sacraments, the Holy Mass, the Stations of the Cross, and the Tridum Mass of Holy Week, the Anointing Services, the Communion Services, the Deliverance Services, the Prophetic Services and Praise Services which brings down the power of God.

It is not God that abandoned the people; it is church leaders that abandoned God because they have lost faith in what they professed. The lack of faith was started by the Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, Most Rev Dr Alfred Adewale Martins on March 1st, three weeks before Lagos State Government gave directives limiting churches to 50 persons. 

Corona Virus Isolation Centres and Churches as Death Traps: Reviewing Enugu State and Lagos Catholic Archdiocese

By Obinna Akukwe


Corona Virus isolation centres in Nigeria are death traps. Those who surrender themselves there may end up with Corona virus and colonial virus all put together. That was the unfortunate incidence in Enugu when a 70 year old woman came back from the UK after five months, had mild fever, went to University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital UNTH , Enugu, was rejected.
The woman was taken to Park Lane Hospital, was rejected and transferred to Colliery Centre Annex of the Hospital. I visited Colliery Hospital area in January, while checking on a Pastor living around there that was challenged. The place I saw in January was overgrown with weeds, unkept, filled with debris, yet few persons,especially women were strolling into the facility and I asked whether they want to lease out the facility. Colliery Hospital was purchased by former governor Chime in 2012 and was designated an isolation centre for infectious disease by Governor Ugwuanyi in 2018.
To hear that a woman who spent five cosy months in UK was kept there for three days in the name of Corona virus isolation is appalling. By the time the test result came out negative, the woman had died, due to the diseases she contacted in the place.
The situation in other states is not different. Rivers State, with all the oil money, is yet to have an isolation center. The governor just designated two hospitals to prepare for corona virus. Gombe State has a four bed center. Many other states have none, while others have dilapidated facilities with no clean environment, toilets and health workers.

Presidency 2023: Tinubu Swallows Fayemi, Amechi and Enemies of Oshiomhole






Written by Obinna Akukwe

The national leader of APC, Bola Tinubu has finally swallowed all the noisemakers including Ministers Rotimi Amechi, Festus Keyamo, Governors Obaseki, Bagudu, Fayemi and El-Rufai who wanted to remove his installed National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole.

It took a fiery letter from Bola Tinubu for the gang-up against Oshiomhole to scatter. It took a phone call from Tinubu to  Aso Villa for President Buhari to call APC Governors to order.

All the noise about Oshiomhole's removal which started when David Lyon was removed by the Supreme Court as Bayelsa State Governor, scattered when the strongman of Lagos politics wrote an adumbrating letter accusing the rebels of political corovirus

In my last piece titled '2023 Presidency; as Tinubu Swallows Orji Kalu, Akpabio, Okorocha, El-Rufa' I started by saying that

 "The strongman of Lagos State and National Leader of APC, Bola Tinubu has been strategically swallowing all his potential political opponents, vis Orji Uzor Kalu, Rochas Okorocha, Godswill Akpabio and Nasir El’Rufai ahead of the 2023 presidency"

Presidency 2023: as Tinubu Swallows Orji Kalu, Okorocha, Akpabio, El-Rufai




Written by Obinna Akukwe

The strongman of Lagos State and National Leader of APC, Bola Tinubu has been strategically decimating all his potential political opponents, vis Orji Uzor Kalu, Rochas Okorocha, Godswill Akpabio and Nasir El’Rufai ahead of the 2023 presidency.

Bola Tinubu is a man loathed by professionals and feared by politicians. He has held Lagos State in firm grip since 1999 till date and has installed whomsoever he wished as governor. Tinubu has equally extended his grips to states in the South West where most of the governors, either past or present, are his boys. Therefore, you can ignore Tinubu at your own peril.Image result for tinubu akpabio okorocha

Buhari’s emergence as President in 2015 and 2019 has Tinubu playing a major role in swaying South West votes to the Katsina born general. It took the blackmails of people like former Senate President Saraki and ex-Governor Rotimi Amechi to stop Bola Tinubu from being running mate to Buhari in 2015.

Tinubu has made it clear with body language that he wants to rule Nigeria come 2023 and he is ruthless about it. Many top contenders for the position or their acolytes have bitter tales as Tinubu marches with his plan. His effort to make Lawan the Senate President and Gbajaiala Speaker in 2015 were botched by Saraki and the former Senate President paid dearly for it. Tinubu ensured that Saraki was retired politically in Kwara in 2019.

Deposed Emir Sanusi banished to Loko/Awe to be attacked by bandits




Written by Obinna Akukwe

The deposed Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi was sent to Loko in Nasarrawa State so they can kill him using the bandits and criminals that pervade the area. This was the situation before the traditional ruler of Loko town informed Emir Sanusi that there are major security concerns in the town and suggested that they move him to another place. This was before the decision to move him from Loko in Toto , Nasarrawa to Awe.

Loko is a town close to the boundary between Benue and Nasarrawa. It is some thirty minutes drive or less to Agatu inBenue State where the Fulani herdsmen and the villages had a bloody battle. While the Fulanis have taken by force the water valleys of Agatu, and across Nasarrawa, they have very little presence in Loko because the town is scorched, with mountains, rocks and little vegetation. Even Fulani herdsmen rejected Loko town for their cows. That was where the dollar stuffing criminals who deposed Sanusi wanted him to be sent to.

Loko town has no electricity. It has serious security concerns. It has a police station that has not up to twenty staff, from my estimate. I was in Agatu in Benue and Nasarrawa Toto last month on a fact finding mission to determine whether peace have actually returned to the place, little did I know that this scorched place will house a former CBN Governor, Former MD of First Bank and a former First Class Emir , because he became a traditional ruler in Nigeria.

Emir Sanusi is Deposed, Sultan Sa’ad, Shehu El-Kanemi’s turn is loading




Emir Sanusi is Deposed, Sultan Sa’ad, Shehu El-Kanemi’s turn is loading

The criminals that destroyed the north by deposing Emir Sanusi will soon turn their attention on Sultan Saad Abubakar of Sokoto and Shehu Abubakar El-Kanemi because they want to remove any voice of reason from the north , loot down the region and disappear into Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and US to enjoy their loots. The CUPP had last year raised alarm that there is a plan to depose Sultan of Sokoto and Emir of Kano for holding views contrary to that of the parties in power.


In December last year, I wrote a piece titled ‘Planned Deposition of Emir Sanusi; Foolishness of Northern Elites’ the next day, the Presidency set up a committee headed by Ex Maximum leader Abdulsalami Abubakar, Yakubu Gowon, Adamu Fika, Governor Fayemi among others to resolve the Ganduje, Sanusi feud.Image result for sanusi Image result for sanusi ganduje


In the second piece titled ‘Plot to Depose Sanusi; North Sheds Foolishness as Buhari,,Abdulsalami, Gowon Intervenes’ I posited that
“The worst humiliation to the Emirate stool is the new law that when an emir wants to travel out of the state, he sends letter to the local government chairman, instead of the governor. Thus Emir Sanusi will have to take permission from a houseboy local government chairman of Kano Metropolis before he can visit the Emir of Zazzau in Zaria.
