“Nigerian Leaders Are Baphomet Members & Satanic” – Femi Fani Kayode
Former aviation minister Chief Fani Kayode is
back with his latest article.
The article aimed at wishing Nigerians Merry
Christmas is titled hope springs eternal joy.
Read it below:
There is so much death in this country. So
many tears. So much evil. So much betrayal. So
much sadness and so many tragedies. So much
corruption and deceit. So many shattered
dreams, broken hearts and wounded souls. So
much injustice and insensitivity. So much
greed and want. So much bloodshed, blood-
letting and blood-spilling.
Welcome to Nigeria- the Federal Republic of
Shattered Dreams. A country in which sadism,
failure, iniquity, injustice, wickedness,
persecution, cover-ups, lies and abuse of
power are enthroned. A land in which “men of
God” do not pray but instead sell the anointing
and buy private jets. A country where common
decency, kindness and human compassion has
no place. A nation in which the rulers pay
homage to the baphomet and make open
sacrifices to Satan.
A country where ignorance and mediocrity is
exalted and in which excellence and knowledge
is scorned. A nation in which truth has no place
and in which those that tell it are hated and
treated with contempt. I weep for my country
and each day I pray that God delivers her
from the blood-sucking and relentless demons
that plague and afflict her. Yet, despite all,
hope springs eternal.
Today our nation stands at a crossroad and it
is left for us to decide which path we choose
to take. Do we take the path of despair and
dishonour and give up on our country? Or do
we rise above it all and latch on to the
promises of God for our land and for our
people? With biting poverty, mounting
hopelessness, a bleeding economy, youth
restiveness, unprecedented violence, brazen
acts of terrorism and all manner of vices and
evil thriving in the land one wonders how things
got so bad.
The foundation for our current situation was
laid many years ago and since that time we
have seen so much suffering and failure at
virtually all levels. We were plagued with
leaders who lacked vision, who lacked intellect,
who lacked sincerity of purpose and who were
antagonistic to those that dared to challenge
their visionless and purposeless policies. Our
country is currently bedevilled with so much
negativity that it is easy to look around and
just give up. Yet I say that we must never give
up because ”hope springs eternal”.
The bible says though the night may be dark
yet ”joy comes in the morning”. The wise ones
say you cannot have a message without a mess.
You cannot have a testimony without a test.
You cannot get to the top of the mountain
without first going to the bottom of the valley.
This is true. And out of Nigeria’s ”mess” shall
surely come her ”message”. Out of Nigeria’s
”test” shall surely come her ”testimony”.
We have been to the ”bottom of the valley”
and therefore we shall get to the ”top of the
mountain”. Our dream for a better Nigeria
shall never die and neither can our collective
prayers be in vain. I refuse to give up because
I know that the God that I serve never fails.
He alone rules in the affairs of men. He alone
forges the destiny of nations. Out of a deep
void and formlessness He ordered the
creation of the world. He established it by the
power of His word and He gave us dominion
over it.
In the same way He created Nigeria for His
purpose and for His glory and that purpose
and glory shall surely be established. It shall
come to pass and it will be manifest to the
entire world. We shall see it and we shall be
established in it as a nation and as a people. If
God can do it for others, He can do it for us
too. We can be great and, by the grace of God,
we shall be great. This is my dream and this is
what I see. And believe me when I tell you that
it is prophetic.
A Nigeria where every man and woman,
regardless of faith, ethnicity, status or
political persuasion finds a common cause and
relishes in our collective humanity. A Nigeria
where the rich have a conscience and the poor
have hope. A Nigeria where joy and peace reign
supreme and where bombings and killings are a
thing of the past.
A Nigeria where the descendants of Ishmael
and Isaac and the adherents of the two great
Abrahamic faiths of Islam and Christianity
live together in peace, harmony and mutual
respect. A Nigeria where the secularity of the
state is respected yet where God is revered
and honoured by all. A Nigeria where the
knowledge and fear of the Living God reigns in
the hearts and minds of the people.
A Nigeria where every man is His brother’s
keeper, where leaders show compassion to
those that they lead, where justice is done to
all and where political persecution has no place.
A Nigeria where decency is rewarded, where
dissent is tolerated, where non-conformity is
encouraged and where equity is enthroned.
That is the Nigeria of my dream.
A Nigeria where youth unemployment is low
and where every individual, no matter how high
or low, can aspire to any position and live his or
her dream. That is the Nigeria of my dream. A
Nigeria where human life and human dignity is
sacrosanct and where fairness is the
watchword of every soul. That is the Nigeria
of my dream.
I have no fears about the future of this great
nation because the God that I serve never
fails. The bible says the nations are ”as a drop
of water before Him”. He sits above the
circles of the earth and He counts the earth
as His footstool. Yet despite His sheer
awesomeness and majesty, with Him lies great
compassion and mercy.
Once we return to Him, acknowledge Him,
honour Him and are led and guided by Him, He
will restore us and shower us with His
blessings. The Lord awaits us to make the right
choice. We either continue to wallow in self-
delusion, wickedness, greed, murder, the
persecution of perceived enemies, the abuse of
power, evil and insensitivity or we desist from
our wicked ways and turn to Him.
I am persuaded that once we make the right
choice our date with destiny, as a people and
as a nation, will come far sooner than we can
possibly imagine. In his book titled ”The
Wretched of the Earth” Frantz Fanon said the
following- ”each generation must, out of
relative obscurity, discover it’s mission and
fulfill it or betray it.” Past generations in
Nigeria have not lived up to expectation. This
is the bitter truth.
Yet there is still hope as long as we have faith.
That hope and faith is our blessed assurance
and it lives in our minds and hearts. We know
that the Lord will fix it. We know that He is
”more than able”. We know that He is a man of
war whom none can resist and we know that He
restores, redeems and rebuilds even the most
broken and wretched walls.
Dr. Martin Luther King jnr., after delivering
his celebrated and inspiring ”I have a dream”
speech, was felled by an assassin’s bullet on
April 4 1968. To those that killed him, his
dream died with him. Yet they were wrong.
They did not know that great dreams, once
birthed, never die. That is why the Word of
God said ”if the princes of this world had
known they would not have crucified the Lord
of Glory”.
If those that murdered Jesus, and the devil
that inspired them to do it, had known that He
would honour His word and rise up three days
later they would not have crucified him. They
persecuted Him, they humiliated Him, they
beat Him, they tortured Him, they spat on Him
and they killed Him yet they could not kill His
dream or abort His mission. His dream lived on
and became a reality for all mankind to see.
It was the same with Martin Luther King. They
killed him but his mission had already been
achieved and his vision came to pass 45 years
after his sacrificial and selfless death. This is
indeed the stuff of which dreams are made.
Great things are birthed in great dreams and
if you dare to dream nothing is impossible.
I have a dream for Nigeria. I have a dream
that one day Nigerians will see themselves as
Nigerians before anything else and they will
not regard their country and its people as a
collection of strange bed-fellows that do not
love or trust one another.
Yet this dream can only be fulfilled when those
amongst us that call ourselves leaders preach,
practice and display discipline, temperance,
holiness, morality, restraint, tolerance, mercy
and the fear of God in the conduct of our
affairs. It can only be made manifest when we
stand up and fight against evil, tyranny,
injustice, indecency bad governance, the abuse
of power , political persecution and sheer
wickedness.
Our dream can only be brought to reality when
love is the motivating factor in all that we do.
The Lord commands us to love our neighbour as
we do ourselves. That is the cornerstone and
the foundation of our faith and it is in that
faith and that resolve that our hope for a
better and greater Nigeria lies. I have a dream
that Nigeria will be what God wants her to be,
a great and powerful nation that is dedicated
to the Living God and that will act as a shining
example and a beacon of light for all to see.
I assure you that despite the dashed hopes
and unbearable suffering of millions of our
people over the last 52 years, our dream still
lives and the Lord shall not forsake us. Our
land and our people may seem blighted, in
despair, depressed, repressed and confused.
It may appear as if there is no hope for a
better tomorrow and that nothing will ever
change.
It may seem as if the Lord has forgotten us
and it may appear that our story is one of
recurrent failure and shattered dreams. Yet
this is not so. I have come here today to tell
you that, despite all we see and hear, it is not
over for us as a people and as a nation. I have
come here today to tell you that we as a people
have a date with destiny.
I have come here today to tell you that
Nigeria and the Nigerian dream lives on and
that it shall be made manifest for all to see in
the fullness of time. I therefore urge you to
be strong, to hold your heads up high, to be
proud of who and what you are and to stand
firm. The vision is for an appointed time.
Though it may tarry it shall not prove false.
Just hold on and always remember that,
despite all, ”hope springs eternal’. God bless
you and God bless Nigeria.
Merry Christmas and happy new year.
