Sani Emmanuel says he is still playing with his club, Beitar Jerusalem

My attention was drawn to a news article on SportsDay Online Newspaper concerning my friend, Sani Emmanuel which is not true.

I, personally am a friend of Sani and have known him since 2012, when I met him in Switzerland during his time with Biel-Bienne, when I was there, covering a story.

When I read that he had been sacked by his current club, Beitar Jerusalem, which he just signed with less than a month ago, I immediately called him up to find out the truth and he told me that it was rumours which were untrue and that he is still playing with them.

This is what he said in my phone conversation on the 15th of November, 2014 by 10:41 pm, WAT:

"Contrary to the news purported on SportsDay Newspaper concerning my Israeli clubside, Beitar Jerusalem, I am not sacked. I am still with the club. This story does not represent me."

Bishop David Oyedepo Finally Declares Spiritual Warfare Against Boko Haram

Bishop David Oyedepo of the living Faith Church has launched warfare against the Boko haram sect yesterday during the mid-week service in Ota.

He said it is time that God came down in his anger and descend on the sect called Boko haram, their sponsors and their supporters. According to him the man called Shekau shall be facing the full wrath of God and will not exceed this season as god will show himself towards saving Nigeria from the clutches of the sect.

He has however declared concerted intercession of warfare against the sect and implores all Nigerians to fervently engage the misery of God’s word and declare fire and brimstone upon the sect.
In his own words “May they never be saved, may they never experience salvation. It will be a spiritual insult to the kingdom to see mass-murderer and children abductors in the same kingdom that God has promised for the saved” believers.

Right or wrong?  You decide.

NO MORE WARS! TIME TO GO ON OUR KNEES Blog Posted onMay 3, 2014 7:47:48 PM

My dearest brothers and sisters in the Lord, I want to beg you for your support, understanding and maturity in this matter. Please let’s lay down our swords and allow God of Peace to reign. Neither Pastor Anita nor Pastor Chris wrote the bible. They are only trying to believe like you and I so please give them allowance to make mistake and correct it. If this is an attack of the enemy, let’s join hands together and raise our voice in prayer for them. Fight won’t help.


Please everyone favoured to be around them, remember that you may have been born or privilege to be there for such a time as this. Don’t be an Ahitophel, don’t be a bad counsellor, don’t sow seed of discord, don’t encourage what you do not wish for yourself, siblings, children, other family members and friends or next generation. Material things will perish, what will God recognise you for? Remember 1Corinthians10:12   BE GOD’S VOICE!


Good afternoon my dearest pastor and father. Pastor Sir, I love you so much and I am so passionate about you and Rev Anita. You have done so much and you are both father and mother to me. Pastor Sir, my heart is heavy and my eyes filled with tears and I’m writing to you as a true son that you have trained to be respectful, loving and bold. Pastor you thought us to be bold and you taught us that boldness is not the same as rebellion. I remember you once taught that our pastors and leaders should not be angry or regard our speaking up as been disrespectful, you sighted an example of when we book appointment and the pastor mentions a time that we definitely know we wont be available due to other commitment like work, expressing this to the leader to arrange a suitable time you said it’s not offensive and this is one of many that you have taught us. You also told us how you told your children never to be afraid, to be bold and ask questions in class, it was in you training us to be bold. You taught us that perfect love cast out fear and I love you dearly. As a son in the house, you as my father will be happy if I could take initiative to improve on what you started, if I can contribute at home and if I can mediate rather than backbite.

Pastor Sir, just like Noah children in Genesis 9:21-23, Ham saw his father’s state and told others to come and see, but wise and loving sons (Shem and Japheth) took a garment and walked with their back to cover his father. I trust the bible was teaching us about been responsible children. Pastor Sir, even the little girl from Israel that was a slave in Naman’s house was driven by love and she took a very risky step to talk to her mistress about her master’s condition. Pastor I believe many knew his condition but never spoke to him until this day and that step borne out of love brought a change to Naman’s life. You also taught us about Esther who knew the risk of going to the king but out of love for God and his people she went
Pastor Sir, Proverb 27:17 says Iron sharpneth iron, so a man sharpneth the countenance of his friend. Psalm 42.7 says deep calleth unto deep. Ephesians 6:1-4, taught about father-children relationship. Ezekiel 3:17 and Ezekiel 33 talk about us been watchmen for each other and the bible also taught that we are our brothers keeper. Pastor Sir, in Exodus 18:14, Jethro was used to help Moses put plans in place and relieve him of work that he was handling all alone. Pastor Sir, king David had people he consulted about the law, 2 Samuel 24:3 Joab spoke to him not to number Israel. Pastor Sir, you and Pastor Anita have done so much. Your 2 wonderful girls have sacrificed a lot to get the ministry to this level. Pastor Sir, you all deserve joy, you deserve happiness and you were brought together by God not to separate or be unhappy.

Pastor Sir, I saw the May rhapsody of realities, the same book that you have both jointly written to reach millions and bring hope and help to many, changed. A change that neither of you is happy about. The change that I know you are not happy that it’s happening and my heart broke, I wept and I prayed but at this point I have it strongly in my heart to write to both of you, my father and my mother to please reconsider. It came to my heart that how do we read and be happy on the pain of another. Pastor Sir, just like David in 1Samuel 23:15-17, though he longed for the water of the well of Bethlehem, he knew it was only that Lord that deserve such, how will he pleasure on the lives of these three men. Same here pastor, how do we go about as if nothing is happening, how do we read, get blessed or be happy reading the ROR or even fellowshipping over the pain of both of you?

  You used example of loved one who is sick, how much do we pray for their lives to be spared. Do we just pray as we run to catch our bus to work or while having dinner, you asked how much impact that prayer can make? You talked about how the disciples didn’t do anything when john was arrested until he was beheaded and how they had to pray for peter when he was arrested. Pastor Sir, you talked about how Paul said to the people, to pray for them. And that it is important for this to happen regularly. I believe this is a time for us to be sober, call a solemn assembly and pray fervently until we see a change. Pastor my approach may not be the best but if I have another approach, I would have used it. If 

Pastor, consider your first love, your messages. You taught us that it’s the responsibility of the man to ensure that his marriage works.  I think it was around the time you taught us the message ‘how to pray’. I remember you said we have to learn to pray for ourselves and you gave the chronology of your prayer as follows; worship God, pray for yourself, your wife, your children, and your family before it gets to us. You were teaching us the importance of prayer and the best person to pray for you is you. This tells me you are a wonderful father that loves his family and love God as well. Pastor you told us about an elderly man who was your family doctor that treated you long ago and taught you the importance of resting, Pastor Sir, I believe if the man has another opportunity he will say same about family. You used it to teach us that though we say souls are perishing hence our tireless work, if we close our eyes in transition to glory the souls will still be there for others to preach to.

Pastor Sir, you have talked about how wonderful your wife is, how you went to London for a programme, ‘4 days with Pastor Chris’ and when leaving you asked if they needed money and she said no, they are fine. You talked about how other women would have seen it as opportunity to spin in money to their side from their husband. We have watched her over the years and we can say of a truth, she’s a rare gem who loves you sincerely and she’s passionate about you. She’s more eager to sell and talk about your own things than promote her own, she never shows any form of competition with you. She is an epitome of a perfect woman. Pastor Sir, you also told us how you ask one of your daughters what she wants for a birthday gift and all she asked for was a surprise visit. This tells of their yearning for you. They value your presence above gold or any earthly gift. You also talked about how your eldest daughter told you she believes in you no matter what the world says and that mean so much to you. That means you are a loving father. Pastor we saw reverend Anita at Aba Crusade minister, and we could see her spit fire borne out of love and passion for you in the face of persecution.


Pastor Sir, who else can for so many years just let go and only request once a while for your affection and attention. Pastor Sir, even those around you testify about it. No one would because of her honour for you allow all that she has allowed but because of you and because of Christ. Pastor Sir, I remember you even said in one meeting that she is an agent of change in our great ministry, she brings her ideas in simple manners but they always turn out to be great. You said this on the day you talked about how she told you the so much we put into a programme but if we put similar effort into publishing the testimony and great work God did in such programme, it will be amazing.

Pastor Sir, this is hard to say but it is happening. The men and women of God that work with you have done so well but over the years some of them have not treated her with the respect due to her. We love these men and women of God and respect them but sir, the respect they give to her is invariably them respecting you sir. You taught us long ago about brethren sometimes get carried away when they see the pastor, they take things that belong to him and leave the wife as if she doesn’t exist, and she has to now struggle to carry everything else in the car. You also taught the pastors not to allow their wives to be trodden on by members. You gave example that if the pastor is held back in church due to meetings or other things after service and they came in one car. The pastor should not just ask anyone to go and drop them off at home. He should call the a trusted person, tell him the importance of the assignment, even give the car key for him to drop them and bring the car back for you. You said this will communicate honour due to the wife to those around you. Pastor Sir, not that she told the world about her experiences with the men of God around you but those that witnessed it amongst them are the first to noise it abroad. This is one way that things that happen behind close doors get to the open. Pastor sir, as you know people talk and in the same manner even the closest to you talk about this matter when away from you in the light they won’t say when you are around sir but it takes a caring child to come to you in humility, not to report others but to show genuine concern and mediate if possible.


Pastor Sir, please listen to Pastor Anita’s cry and her deepest heart desire. Everyone, especially leaders say the same thing about her sacrifice for all these years and how they can’t leave their wife or their wife can’t leave them. How much she has done for so many years all by herself, growing ministry in a continent like Europe and extending to America as well as raising the children. It will affect the next generation who are growing up in the world where they don’t give regard to God’s kind of marriage. Where it is no longer coveted yet it was the first thing (home) God did after recreation.

 Pastor sir, I believe she appreciates everyone that have worked tirelessly to get us here but as a mother she also yearn for them living right and future happiness......(concluding sentence cut off just as post was taken down by yookos admin)

While being delivered, he confessed that he was the Prince of Persia, and that he was further possessed through addictive computer games and surfing of the internet for information about Illuminati.

He also claimed to have been responsible for his sister’s death.

Mother, Father Identify Daughters in Recent Boko Haram Video

The parents of two of the nearly 300 Nigerian schoolgirls recently kidnapped by Boko Haram have identified their daughters in a recent video released by the terrorist group.

According to Dumoma Mpur, the chairman of the parent-teachers association at Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Nigeria, a mother identified her daughter as one of the girls wearing a full-length hijab and praying in the video that was released Monday.

"The video got parents apprehensive again after watching it but the various steps taken by the governments and the coming of the foreign troops is boosting our spirit, even though I have not seen any one soldier in Chibok yet," Mpur told Reuters by telephone.

Another parent from Chibok, who requested to remain anonymous, told Voice of America on Tuesday that he, too, recognized his 18-year-old daughter in the video, and possibly recognized his neighbor's daughter as well.

The video, which was shown to parents in Chibok on Monday, was recorded by members of the extreme Islamist group Boko Haram. The video shows the nearly 300 schoolgirls that were kidnapped from Chibok almost one month ago.

In the video, Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shakau requests that the Nigerian government exchange some of its prisoners for the kidnapped girls. "It is now four years or five years that you arrested our brethren and they are still in your prison. You are doing many things to them and now you are talking about these girls? We will never release them until after you release our brethren."

"I swear to almighty Allah, you will not see them again until you release our brothers that you have captured," he added.

The video shows the girls dressed in blue and gray hijabs sitting in a rural area and chanting a simple Islamic prayer. An earlier video released by Boko Haram threatened to sell the girls into human slavery, and the young women, the majority of who are Christian, were reportedly forced to convert to Islam.

According to BBC News, Nigeria's cabinet minister Tanimu Turaki said Tuesday that if Shekau was serious about his claims in the video, he should send representatives to talk with government officials to possibly work out a prisoner exchange. Turaki, who was selected by President Goodluck Jonathan to reach an agreement with Boko Haram, told BBC that "dialogue is a key option" in bringing the girls home, and that "an issue of this nature can be resolved outside of violence."

Also on Tuesday, both the U.S. and the U.K. deployed surveillance planes to fly over remote forested areas of northeastern Nigeria in hopes of finding the massive group of schoolgirls, who many believe are being hidden in the dense Sambisa forest.

Both countries have also sent intelligence officials to the African country to help in deciphering aerial surveillance footage.  China, Israel, and France are also helping to rescue the kidnapped schoolgirls.

Nigerian Christian Teen Whose Father, Brother Were Killed by Boko Haram Stands With Abducted Schoolgirls

WASHINGTON – A teenage girl whose family was murdered nearly three years ago by Boko Haram for being Christian has finally spoken about her experience.

Deborah Peters, a native of Northern Nigeria who is now 15, described the murder of her father and brother at the hands of Boko Haram at a Hudson Institute event on Tuesday afternoon.

Peters was from Chibok, the very same village that terrorists raided in April and abducted hundreds of school girls, forcing them into marriages with Boko Haram leadership.

"On December 22, 2011, 7:00 PM, me and my brother were at home. We started hearing gun shooting," said Peters, now a student in the United States.

"So my brother called my dad and told him not to come home because they are fighting and my father told him to just forget about it."

Peters described how at 7:30 PM, three individuals came to her house and demanded that her father, a pastor whose church had been destroyed earlier that year, to renounce his Christian faith.


"He told him that he would rather die than to go to hellfire," said Peters, who told those gathered that they shot her father three times in the chest.

Initially the terrorists were only going to kill her father because he was a pastor. Then they decided to kill her young brother because, they reasoned, he would grow up to become a pastor.

Peters' remarks were part of a panel hosted by the Institute titled "A Survivor's Account of Boko Haram's Religious Cleansing in Nigeria."

In addition to Peters, the other panelists were Nina Shea, Hudson Institute senior fellow and director of the Center for Religious Freedom and Emmanuel Ogebe, an international human rights lawyer and expert in bilateral U.S.-Nigerian relations.

Shea moderated the panel and asked Peters questions about her experiences. Ogebe provided an update on the situation in Northern Nigeria, noting Boko Haram's increased attacks on women and girls.

In recent years, Islamic terrorist organizations, especially Boko Haram, have been attacking Christian communities in Northern Nigeria. These attacks on churches and towns have resulted in hundreds of deaths and have made Boko Haram one of the most violent religious extremist groups in the world.

Peters is not the first survivor of Boko Haram violence featured by the Hudson Institute. Last November the Institute featured Adamu Habila, who was the sole male in his Christian village to survive a Boko Haram attack.

In comments made to The Christian Post during question-and-answer time, Ogebe explained that the persecution of the Christian communities in the northern part of the West African country had been going on for decades.

"Persecution in Northern Nigeria has been the 'new normal' for decades," said Ogebe, adding that many acts of abduction or violence have been directed at Nigerian Christians in the past.

"What is happening now is this is persecution on steroids. Northern Nigerian Christians are used to being killed a couple of times a year … but for terrorists to come out and abduct 300 kids, this is where Northern Nigerian Christians are saying 'okay, we didn't sign up for this.'"

Last month, Boko Haram raided the Government Girls Secondary School in the town of Chibok, abducting an estimated 300 school girls. Unlike past attacks on civilians and churches, the incident sparked global outrage.

The U.S. Department of State promised assistance to the Nigerian government to find them and a social campaign using the phrase #BringBackOurGirls gathered international support calling for the school girls' freedom.
