Professor David Irefin lectures Economics at the Federal University, Lokoja, Kogi State, having spent decades in various universities in Nigeria and abroad. In this interview, the staunch member of the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star says the ravaging COVID-19 pandemic may have no end, claiming that it is a result of’ Man’s disobedience to the commandments of God. Excerpts:
How did you become an Archbishop in the Brotherhood?
My first spiritual contact was in 1982 in the United States of America, I was in a dream where I saw what a Brotherhood altar in Moscow, Russia is now. I found myself holding a bell which I rang going through the streets of Moscow, in the dream land. After that I came in contact with an afro- American who told me that the Father is in Nigeria, but then it did not make sense to me. However, when I came back to Nigeria because of what I was hearing, a lot of blasphemy of Olumba and his followers that he was drinking Human blood and all sort things, I was not attracted. All along I have been a member of Celestial church of Christ and I strongly believed then that Celestial Church of Christ was the ark of Noah, i.e the melting point of all religions. This was the view I held until a friend of mine that I took to Celestial church of Christ secretly got baptized into Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and went to Calabar because he was denied Visa even though he had a green card. There he met with the Father Leader Olumba Olumba Obu who pronounced that He has given Him visa. And the following day, it materialized at the American Embassy.
So it was this my friend who actually told me he had a dream where the two of us where in the midst of people wearing white being prayed for and that I should invite Brotherhood of the Cross and Star members to my house for a feast, which I objected. However, that same night I had a dream in which I was told to invite them. The following morning, I informed him to see if it will be possible to have them in my house the following day for a feast. And we went to Prof Chikwem’s house (one of the organiser’s of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star activities in University of Maiduguri) to discuss the feast with him. So the following day I invited them to my house but my intention was actually to preach to them and convert them to my church because we had a a soul winning programme that time and I was fasting that day Thursday, unknown to me that the doctrine of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star mandates every baptized member to fast every Thursday. So they came, prayed and did house blessing. At the end they presented me with many tracts.
However, I had no intention of reading those tracts so I kept them aside in the sitting room. Later that night, I had a dream where the Father Olumba Olumba Obu appeared to me wearing red garment and enquired whether I saw His children in my house, this evening He the enquired from me if they gave me any tracts.
He instructed me to go and pick a tract called “My Mission” then I was disconnected. Upon waking I went straight to the sitting room to check and pick out the one I was directed to read. I read it that night. That tract really exposed my emptiness about worshipping God. I felt bad that I have wasted my time for soo long. The following morning at 5am I went straight to the bethel to attend a child blessing and requested for baptism. I was re-baptized.
What is Brotherhood itself?
Brotherhood is the New Kingdom of God on earth (Dan 2:44). Brotherhood means oneness. Brotherhood constitutes all things created by God and our Lord Jesus Christ as the Head. It means all angels, spirits, fishes, animals, birds, water, wind, rain, thunder, the human family, etc. In fact, Brotherhood means God, thus, it is not a church, sect, cult, movement, etc.
So what are the marked differences between Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and other Christian denominations?
Brotherhood of Cross and Star and other Christian denominations are not the same. Brotherhood is not a church, it is the Kingdom of God on Earth. You know when the disciples went to our Lord Jesus and asked to teach them how to pray, he said our father who art in heaven hallow be thy name, thy kingdom come , that Kingdom is the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star which foundation was laid by our Lord Jesus Christ as recorded in Matthew 6:9-11. Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is led by God Himself and it is the center of re-information.
In the Christendom,they make so much noise and they don’t practice the word of God, they don’t love one another, they are so divided. They could be likened to be like the Pharisees and Sadducees of those days in the first advent of our Lord Jesus Christ. They don’t do what they preach. They discriminate; they think they are better than other people. However, in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, irrespective of their religion, we see all of them as children of God. In fact, children of the same Father.
In Brotherhood of the Cross and Star we do exactly what we preach that is why Leader Olumba Olumba Obu stands out as the only Supernatural Teacher. He puts to practice all what He preaches and directs His followers to do same. That is why whatever they say about Him, He does not care, He forgives and takes you back as His child.
There have been many versions to the coronavirus ravaging the world, while some say it is because of man’s sins, others say it is failure of leader. What is your own opinion?
Both schools of thought are correct. The rulers and the followers in Nigeria are neck deep in sin. All segregate, discriminate, lie, hate, cheat and corrupt. Remember, God knows only those who obey Him. The implication is that all Nigerians are wanted by God and God departs from them.
That is the reason why their prayers and worship are not effective. This paves way for the Coronavirus pandemic from the evil one to visit Nigeria.
Scientists all over the world are in search of an acceptable vaccine for the virus. Do you think they can find it?
I doubt it because there is no truth. The love of money cannot allow them worship God who is the author of knowledge and wisdom.
What is the position of Olumba Olumba Obu on the pandemic?
Leader Olumba Olumba Obu has already overcome the coronavirus pandemic. Recently, He ordered the Archangels, angels and spirits to commence the healing of the earth. Very soon all the precautionary measures will be a thing of the past. He is the only solution to all human problems including the Coronavirus. Science has failed the human family. The on-going coronavirus has shown that science cannot guarantee the needed peace and security with minimum freedom.
Why do you want the world to listen to Olumba?
If Olumba Olumba Obu has not come, the world would have been destroyed by now. The world is full of evil. All the rulers and different religious leaders and their followers do not know God. For instance, they all indulge in lies, fornication, oppression, division, discrimination, wars, accumulate and manufacture weapons that destroy life. Sin has taken over the world of man and all are heading to hell fire.
However, Olumba is the game changer. He has come to reveal God and how to worship Him. He reveals God as love, humility, patience, forgiveness, tolerance and oneness. Those who know God will never lie, cheat, discriminate, hate, fight, quarrel, because these vices are associated with Lucifer the devil.
Olumba is directing all to abandon sin and follow after God by love for one another. God has enough resources to cater for all, irrespective of the world population. Love does not hate, cheat, lie, discriminate, segregate, fight, oppress, rather love covers multitude of sin and take everybody as oneself.
Aside the pandemic, what else is the message of Olumba Olumba Obu to the world?
One, to change man from sinfulness to a standard expected of him by God.
Two, to unite the human family, where there is no color of your skin, sex, age, class and religion. Three, to establish the Kingdom of God on earth where righteousness and peace dwell. Leader Olumba Olumba Obu says the scripture is fulfilled in our time. This is that time that there should be one sheep fold under one shepherd, our Lord Jesus the Christ. Olumba therefore directs all church leaders and religious leaders (Islam, Budhism, Judaism, etc) to urgently come and register with the Christ Universal Spiritual Council of Churches in the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star.
Olumba warns all the presidents, prime ministers, kings, queens and traditional rulers to do away with hatred, lies, oppression, discrimination, wickedness and manufacturing weapons of mass destruction as these actions will never guarantee them desired peace, security and stability.
Unknown to the world rulers, our Lord Jesus Christ died and paid the price for all the inhabitants of this world irrespective of faith, color of skin, sex and social status. This selfless sacrifice by Christ has put an end to hatred, fornication, discrimination, segregation, wars, fighting, religious bigotry, and covetousness. Olumba strongly directs that they rule in love, humility, patience; before they can escape the wrath of God which is around the corner
What is the position of your church Bokoharam?
Olumba warned them but they refused to heed to His warning. I was in the delegate He sent to the Shehu of Borno and Shehu of Dikwa in 1995 that there will be bloodshed in Borno if they refuse to seek the face of God.
Also, I and Prof Chikwem met with Kingibe, in 1987 to inform him that the military will never allow him to be president and vice president unless they go and seek the face of Leader Olumba Olumba Obu.
In 1987 Olumba declared an end to apartheid when a delegation of South Africans paid Him a visit and told Him about the suffering of Apertheid. He declared that He has put an end to Apartheid and He will release His son Nelson Mandela to be president. That they should go and protest no more, and fight no more, but to love one another.
In addition, in 1989, one of His evangelists who returned from Moscow told Him he was not allowed to preach the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. He asked the evangelist; “They say there is no God?” the evangelist said yes. Leader Olumba now declared that there will be no more USSR and USSR will disintegrate without anybody firing a gunshot.
What’s your last word?
My advice is for churches and religious organizations all over the world to submit to Leader Olumba Olumba Obu. The political leaders, that is, Mr President, the governors, all traditional rulers and religious leaders must listen to Him now before it is too late. Lastly, Nigerian government must be thankful to Olumba Olumba Obu for putting an end to this corona virus pandemic, He has directed his arch angels and the angels to start the process of healing the earth and very soon everything will come to an end.
