THE GOSPEL OF DONALD TRUMP - GOSPEL TRUTH (PART 2)

advertisement

onald Trump is very right when he slammed all of us with corruption.

If we too are not corrupt, how could we have folded our hands all these while as we are milked dry to the bones by a relatively small group of people?

I have never called for street protest and I will never do. Street protest leads to blood shed in Nigeria. My campaign should be bloodless. I am only asking us to fight for our lives, with what we readily have; which is our religion.

An average Nigerian is very serious about his religion. And our religious book is very clear on what we can do in order to live comfortably. It is however unfortunate that we are only religious, without allowing the counsel therein to prosper us. We did not allow the words of the books to play positive roles in our day to day living. Rather than being obedient to the counsel of God as stated in our religious guide books, we decide to believe the lies of Satan, who hates us, who never has anything good for us but presents things that entice us on the face value, which leads to death at the end.

The Devil makes us to interpret erroneously the Bible passage that says "He who works at the altar, partakes of the altar"

My question! Does he not get his legitimate wages for working at the altar? Any other thing outside your legitimate wages is 'stealing' and responsible for the society's pitiful situation

Another sinful statement, which is often said is "Who will be in the vantage position and not do the same" Leave them alone. I am only praying that my own time will come and if it doesn't, I hope it will come for my child one day.

But people have been in vantage position to our wealth in the past, immediately after independence and they did not tamper with our common wealth. They were not acquiring properties all over the world. They were committed to the development of the nation and that was why the country was steadily progressing.

But because those in vantage position today dole some naira to us, we look elsewhere, and we say "Well, we know our son steals, but he knows relations with it" Yet we are wallowing in poverty and at last, we will end up in hell when poverty leads us to sins.

I purchased a big parcel of land that can accommodate a large crowd, with the sole purpose that people can gather there to call on God to change the times for us. Rather than people joining me, they prefer to go to places where they are provided with short term solutions and even ask them to behave and do things that are ridiculous, diminishing to the body and insulting to their personality. They prefer to go to places where quick wealth is prophesied for them and they too dip their hands in sin to bring the quick wealth prophecy come to pass. And what will be the end result? Hell.

Consider what will happen to those who rob us, should they see us in large numbers, see a mammoth crowd all over the cities rebuking the devil, who is making them to behave wickedly, preventing them to consider the plight of fellow citizens, pleading that God causes in them a repentant heart!

It is just unfortunate that it will not be possible for Donald Trump after becoming president of the US to send back to Nigeria, the Nigerians who are legally resident in the US because it is a country of law and order.

How I wish he can! I will have wanted to know where a woman and her likes, who I met at the Vehicle Licensing Office in La Vergne TN would go.

Here is a woman who whatever number of years she might have been living in the US, still speaks with accents that betrays her place of birth. Observing that she is from the mother land, I greeted her and when I asked for her name, I could not figure out what she said. So, I concluded that she must have come from a state other than a Yoruba speaking one, where I am from. So I asked her what State she was from. I was appalled when she said "Western Region" I persisted and asked further which State in the Western Region. She seemed not to know that the old Western region has been split into several states. When she still feigned ignorance, I had to leave her to her shame.

This type of behavior is very common among us Yorubas. And I do not know what we want to prove because most of us have no hiding place; the moment we speak, people know we are not original Americans or Britons even if we have their passport. Of course, it is different with our children born in Diaspora, whose tongues have adapted since pregnancy unlike that woman and I and others like us whose tongues were built with Amala, Iyan & egusi and can no longer twist. But I am proud of it.

May God bless my wife of blessed memory; she firmly laid a code of conduct when the children were young. She restricted the speaking of English to their different schools and banned it at home.

Arab and Orient children speak their different languages fluently except the children of my people, Yoruba. It pisses me when I hear Yoruba parents say "My child cannot speak Yoruba" What do they want to proof? That their children belong to a higher class? Funny people!

I am frequently annoyed with my Yoruba people when they pronounce their names and one will labour a lot in order to understand what they are saying like the woman I just spoke about. I rebuked a friend about this very recently. When has the white man ever styled his name to please anyone when they live among us in our native land? Something must be wrong with us.

The same evil that befalls us is why we can't find solution to stop those who decimate us at home and making millions to become economic refugees all over the world, in spite the fact that our own native land, is flowing with milk and honey.

Hear Donald Trump again: "We need to get the Africans out. Not the blacks; the Africans, especially, the Nigerians. They 're everywhere. I went for a rally in Alaska and met just one African in the entire state. Where was he from? Nigeria"

We just got everything wrong when we are not proud of where it pleases God to plant us. We think we belong to a class of higher order to say I live in Europe, I live in the U.S.

Without any offence to my Muslim friends, you cannot but love Israelis for their love for their country. Israel is one country that have received a great deal of punishment from God, yet they did not forget their land. They were scattered abroad several times yet the love for their country is unequal, unparalleled. They had an unflinching and an unwavering affection, faithfulness and support for Jerusalem. And this did not start just today but from the beginning, when the country was founded.

"Hear one of their great ancestors, the second king of Israel, David, as he sang his love and prayers for Jerusalem:

"I was glad for the suggestion of going to Jerusalem, to the temple of the Lord" (Psalms 122:1) "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls and prosperity in your palaces. This I ask, for the sake of all my brothers and my friends who live here" (Psalm 122:6-8).

It is to be noted in this prayer of king David, from the way, which he ended the prayer: "This I ask, for the sake of all my brothers and my friends who live here" that he recognized that it is only the prosperity of the Nation that can lead to any meaningful individual prosperity.

Hear a portion of their National Anthem as recorded in Psalms 137 when they were in captivity for 70 years" If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth: If I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.

When God gave me the assignment to return to Nigeria to work on her sanitization, I had hoped that once I am able to kick start the project, Nigerians in Diaspora will enthusiastically join force with me with their finance. Up to now, all people in Diaspora who support this campaign are basically my friends who I grew up with. There are only three people in Diaspora, who I never met, who support, based on my writings and listening to my broadcasts.

I am certain that the majority of Nigerians in Diaspora, who were born at home and who were educated up to University or to High School at home, would prefer to live in Nigeria, were things alright. They are in Diaspora as 'Economic Refugees" and one will think that they will gladly support me, who puts down, for this campaign, every blessed resources I acquire all my working life and not only this, put my life on line for the purpose of making our country livable.

This is different from the practice of the whites who rally themselves and go all the way to fight an epidemic, which troubles them at one time or the other.

Donald Trump concluded his gospel "Then may be we'll recolonize them because obviously they did not learn a damn thing from the British"

Donald Trump is only proposing what is already happening. Are we not colonized already?

We chastised the Whites for taking away as slaves, our kinsmen centuries ago in chains, but now we beg them with cap in hands to live with them. And what jobs are readily available to those who even enter their country legally other than menial and dirty jobs? Yet the visas are obtained with all difficulties and insult. What percentage do collar jobs? Many work as Security Guards, even Ph.D holders.

Except for our Naira that was bastardized due to the squandermanial behavior of the crops of our leaders in some years past, when has making a living abroad become enthusiastic? The moment one completes his study, there was no other thought than to return home.
