Leah Sharibu,Chibok Girls, Muslim Ticket and Powerless Nigerian Church

Rev Obinna Akukwe is insisting that he Nigerian Church is powerless. I make no apologies to that, and I prophetically insist that any candidate they endorse in 2023 presidential polls will fail. Presidential candidates who want to win should seek their cooperation NOT endorsement.

 

A church whose Fire Prayers cannot deliver the majority of Chibok Christian Girls from captivity is powerless.

In one of the piece I wrote on the abducted Chibok school girls in 2014 titled ' Boko Haram, Chibok Girls and Jihad of the Penis' I warned that the nation that looked the other way as 276 Chibok Christian Girls are being raped to death by terrorists, will bring a curse on the nation.

 

Then some church leaders were more interested in debating whether Buhari and Shettima were involved in the abduction than on how to arrest the abominable development and rescue innocent school girls.
