Because The Prophet Lied

 The old prophet answered, "I too am a prophet, as you are. And an angel said to me by the word of the LORD: 'Bring him back with you to your house so that he may eat bread and drink water.'" (But he was lying to him.)

~  1 Kings 13:18.

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

~ 1 John 4:1

The Prophet Lied is a collection of original poems on the existential realities of life on earth by a romantic poet of the school of Eclecticism whose daily experiences in his own country have given him the deepest insights on the temptations, trials and triumphs of the human spirit.

The Nigerian Fools Who Think They Can Fool God

The Nigerian Fools Who Think They Can Fool God

The largest Church in the world is located in Nigeria and there are more churches in Nigeria than schools. There is a church in every neighborhood and in fact, in the mega city of Lagos, you can find a church on every street. So, Nigerians are church loving people with over 55% of the population of over 140 million noted as Christians.

I have gone through the most popular Christian denominations in Nigeria, from the Roman Catholic Church to the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) and had the privilege of being very close to the notable men of God in Nigeria, including the Cardinal Olubunmi Okogie, the Archbishop of Lagos and Pastor E.A. Adeboye, the General Overseer of the RCCG. I have also done street evangelism for over 11 years in Lagos where I preached the gospel on public transport buses and on the street. I have traveled to most cities in Nigeria and lived with Nigerians from different tribes. So, I know my fellow Nigerians very well.

I have seen that more than 90% of the Nigerians who claim to be Christians are not true Christians, but mere churchgoers, because, they do not live or work according to the gospel of Jesus Christ. They are hypocrites who only parade themselves as Christians in the masquerade of the Christian religion. They are good actors and actresses who are simply playing "church" in conceit and deceit. The evidence of their hypocrisy is the decadence in every facet of the Nigerian society. The rampant cases of corruption in high places and low places have exposed the falsehood of these so-called "Christians".

You see Nigerian parents who have abused the ethics of good parenting and cannot show good examples to their children. Mothers have become pimps and encourage their daughters to practice either full time or part time prostitution. They hawk their bodies to those who can pay the price and they often come cheap. Fathers no longer see anything wrong in the criminal activities of their children. They pat them on the back for being smart whenever any of their sons or daughters cheats, lies or steals to make money or pass the compulsory examination for the academic or professional certification required to get a dream job to boost their egoistic pursuits in the social hierarchy of their materialistic society.

Corruption is now a daily way of life in Nigeria.
The ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP) is the most corrupt political party in the history of Nigerian politics. The elected members of the PDP and other office holders have stolen billions of dollars from public coffers and they armed most the political thugs who are now the gunmen and militants on rampage in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria since 1999 to date.

If the Nigerians claiming to be Christians but behave like devils are bad, the Nigerians claiming to be pious Muslims are worse. The Nigerian Muslims are not only as corrupt as the fake Nigerian "Christians", but they use their erroneous Sharia Law to institutionalize their hypocrisy and use it to violate the fundamental human rights of their fellow citizens and commit atrocities.
Only the poor Muslim women are always caught in adultery and they are condemned to be stoned to death. Only the poor Muslim men are caught stealing and condemned to be amputated. But the rich Muslims who steal public funds from public coffers are never tried or punished. In fact, the President of Nigeria, the Muslim Alhaji Umaru Yar' Adua gave them National Honors in Abuja, on February 14, 2008, to continue the perpetuation of corruption as the bedrock of the Nigerian society.

What are the Nigerian religious leaders doing to address the epidemic of corruption in Nigeria?
Most of the Nigerian religious are the beneficiaries of these corrupt Nigerian public officers and corrupt business leaders. They are willing receivers of the stolen goods.
The Nigerian churches have been collecting tithes and offerings from the misappropriated funds, Internet scams, robberies, and other financial crimes committed by the heartless, merciless and shameless Nigerian criminals and prostitutes operating in offices, on the streets and waterways in Nigeria. So, they are partners in crime.

The tragic irony is, they are still posing and posturing as pious God-fearing Nigerians.
These corrupt Nigerian cheats, liars, pretenders, prostitutes, fraudsters, robbers, looters, and other criminals are the worst species of humans I have ever seen since I was born.
This corrupt generation of Nigerians is what Jesus Christ called them “a generation of vipers”.

Nigeria’s Men of God Released

Nigeria’s Men of God Released


Bookplus Nigeria Limited, a Lagos-based publishing firm, has announced the release of Bisi Ojediran’s latest work, Nigeria’s Men of God. The book, which hit the market last Thursday, is the third religious book by the novelist.


Nigeria’s Men of God chronicles the events leading to the calling of ministers of God in the nation, as well as how they are coping with the enormous challenge of working in the Lord’s vineyard.


It features such gospel greats as Bishop David Oyedepo, Primate Peter Akinola, Archbishop Sunday Ola Makinde, Dr. Ademola Ishola, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, Pastor Williams Kumuyi, Pastor Paul Adefarasin, Rev. Wilson Badejo, Dr. Tunde Bakare, among others.


The statement by Bookplus explains that the book is conceived to give some insight into the life and times of these men of God, and the circumstances surrounding their calling.


According to the Publisher, “The book is intended to showcase the little beginnings of these great gospel preachers in Nigeria with a view to encouraging those who may be going through the same experience.”


“Learning about the humble beginnings of our spiritual fathers, and how they were called into the service of God, is very inspirational. Reading how these great men sustain their faith and handle temptation also provides a guide in staying the course in a relationship with the ONLY LIVING GOD,” the statement adds



A few names have been repeated from an earlier publication, but the Publisher said this new book is an attempt to “serve most of the big names on the same plate.” The book, written from interviews and reference materials even features Dr. Morris Cerullo, President of Morris Cerullo World Evangelism as a special entry.


Bisi said he is happy to work for God. He explained that people are wired differently by God to work for Him. The thing is finding what gift He gave you and how best to use it to His glory.


“ From my study of psychology too, I know that no two people are the same. So we should quit trying to be like others who have been wired differently from us,” said Bisi, who revealed that what he is doing now is trying to further develop his gift by competing with himself.


According to him, he will continue to write novels and inspirational books. “Good novels serve life’s lessons too. My latest novel The False Truth, for example, shows how not to be a tin god in power,” he says.


Bisi has written seven novels, an economics textbook; two religious/inspirational books, English and Mathematics books for Nursery and Primary Schools, eight plays and four Supplementary English Readers for Secondary Schools. Bisi's novels are The Black Godfather, Love Wars, Sacred Seduction (a political satire) and The Governor's Wife, A Daughter For Sale, and The False Truth (another political satire on the sit-tight syndrome in Africa).
