Like many of his
critics had contended, Oyakhilome goofed on this one. Indeed, he was talking
utter balderdash. Perhaps he had said what he said because he desperately
needed cheap publicity but it has backfired on him big time.
Pastor Chris
Oyakhilome is a flamboyant spiritual head of Love-World Incorporated in Nigeria
otherwise known as Christ Embassy. He was based in South Africa but his
ministry is planted in many countries and continents. He is super-rich,
handsome and academically sound. He is eloquent and charismatic. He has
travelled far and wide to the extent that he cannot be described as a local
evangelical champion. He commands thousands of followers across the world.
Pastor Oyakhilome
has been involved in both evangelical and conjugal scandals that he cannot be
associated with piety or holiness. Some years ago, he had a marital battle with
his (now estranged) wife, Anita. He later divorced her. Few years ago in South
Africa, he was involved in a miracle-faking scandal. One or two of his
followers had alleged sensationally that he used them to stage 'miracles' in
some open televised crusade in some South African cities.
Given the fact that
evangelism is now a lucrative competition for riches, some so-called pastors go
to extreme lengths to acquire power with which they pretend to heal or deliver
in the name of Jesus Christ. One does not know why they could not heal or
deliver citing the name of Lucifer with whose power they do 'miracles'.
Anita, based abroad,
had reportedly accused her former husband of infidelity! Like elsewhere around
the globe, Nigeria boasts of adulterous pastors. You have very few 'Enochs'
among the servants of God! Sexual scandals abound much like the nomenclature of
the worship centres. From 'mountain' to 'dominion', 'embassy' to 'chosen', it
is the same story of sexual predatory acts and activities.
When the Oyakhilomes
were authoring the monthly 'Rhapsody of Realities', I was an avid reader.
Besides, I read also 'Awake' and 'Watchtower' magazines of Jehovah's Witnesses.
I am neither a member of Jehovah's Witnesses nor Christ Embassy. If I need a
visa to heaven, I would not need to go to Christ Embassy to obtain one. No
'visa' to heaven is available there!
Pastor Chris
Oyakhilome courted controversy deliberately recently when he declared that the
Coronavirus pandemic afflicting all races was caused by the anti-Christ using
the 5G revolutionary technology as a tool of satanic dominance. He made it
clear in a detailed interview online that the 5G tech had a link to the
COVID-19 epidemic that has thus far taken away thousands of souls around the
world and still counting.
The pastor claimed
that President Muhammadu Buhari had approved the lockdown of Abuja, Lagos and
Ogun states because of the installation of the 5G technology in Nigeria. But
the question he failed to answer -- one still begging for an answer – is: why
would Buhari need a COVID-19 excuse to shut down major cities and towns in
Nigeria? As President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces (no matter how
inept his command), Buhari could order for total closure of any city or town
for reasons of infrastructural or technological development.
The Federal
Government of Nigeria had reacted measuredly to the Oyakhilome bombshell. Paul
Ogenyi, spokesperson for the National Orientation Agency, an agency under the
Federal Ministry of Information and Culture, had condemned Pastor Chris for his
reckless opinion, arguing that it behoved religious leaders to measure their
interventions to avoid misguiding or misleading the populace.
Medically and
scientifically, it has not been proven that the current pandemic terrorising
the rich and poor countries has anything to do with 5G. In Lesotho, for
example, it was reported that the small country has been using the 5G
technology for over two years now yet there is no single reported case of
Coronavirus. Lesotho and Comoros are the only two African countries thus far
spared of the COVID-19 scourge.
So if 5G has
something to do with Coronavirus then no one should be left still standing in
Lesotho.
Historically,
humanity had been hit by plagues and pandemics that claimed millions of lives
in the past. So Coronavirus cannot be said to be unique in the health history
of the world.
LlPastor Oyakhilome
should better concentrate his evangelical energy on preaching the gospel and
deceiving those willing to be deceived. And amassing wealth for himself. He
should leave scientists and technologists to take care of Coronavirus and 5G.
Like many of his
critics had contended, Oyakhilome goofed on this one. Indeed, he was talking
utter balderdash. Perhaps he had said what he said because he desperately
needed cheap publicity but it has backfired on him big time.
The arrogant
so-called man of God may be good at preaching the gospel but concerning
COVID-19, he is not in any position medically or scientifically to teach us
nonsense. His opinion counts but it is confusing and infantile. And above all,
it tends to mislead the people. It is utterly irresponsible on his part to
delve into an area or field alien to his 'calling'.
COVID-19 as a scam
exists only in the warped imagination of the Oyakhilomes of this world. We must
intensify our prayers so that we cannot be 'contaminated' by their Luddite
paranoia.
