Pastor Bakare Lampoons Mrs. Patience Jonathan

Pastor Tunde Bakare
By SaharaReporters, New York

Pastor Tunde Bakare’s bracing criticism of the state of Nigerian politics continued today, with his spotlight turning on First Lady Patience Jonathan.

Before delivering his latest salvo in a series that began on July 22, Mr. Bakare reviewed the firestorm in cyberspace over his previous sermon titled “How to Change the Government Peacefully.” He remarked that “whether anybody likes it or not, we are not waiting for time to tell. The time is already telling.” In a fervent defense of a political bent in his recent sermons, Mr. Bakare stated, “You may say I no longer teach you Bible but politics. That’s fine. Use it, and we will have a new nation.”

He criticized the declaration of self-autonomy by the Ogoni people. Even so, he condemned the insincerity on the part of the Federal Government and the State Security Service (SSS), carpeting them for pretending to be unaware of the developments in Ogoniland.

“On the 2nd of August, Ogoni people declared their own political autonomy from Nigeria’s political landscape, and 72 hours after this declaration, the Federal Government is playing deaf and dumb. The Special Assistant to the Information Minister says they are not aware of such declaration. Whereas, I had preached a simple message on how to change government peacefully and make the society better, and within two hours the tape had landed on the table of the State
Security Department that they began to hound me the following day,” said the pastor.

Mr. Bakare’s topic for today was titled “Personal Insecurity/Inferiority Aborts Your Destiny (Part 1).” The talk lampooned Mrs. Jonathan’s recent covetous behavior, describing her as suffering from a psyche of characteristic inferiority. The activist pastor, who was a vice presidential candidate to General Muhammadu Buhari (ret.), asserted that Mrs. Jonathan’s background as a stark pauper caused her to seek “aggressive compensation.” He added that, because Nigeria’s First Lady was unsure of the reality of the provisions she currently enjoys, she wants to secure her sudden opulence at all cost, even at the detriment of public interest.

“Now I know why Jonathan’s wife has become Permanent Secretary; they are preparing her for the position of the Prime Minister of Niger Delta Republic,” quipped Mr. Bakare. He condemned the desperation with which Mrs. Jonathan seeks to be the head of all Africa’s First Ladies, a permanent secretary in Bayelsa State, as well as her possible greed for political power in a prospective Niger Delta Republic.

Mr. Bakare stated, “In the time of Awolowo, Nnamdi Azikiwe and Ahmadu Bello, they annexed
their resources to the development of their regions and there were serious competitions in each region, which in turn contributed to the federal purse. Now, it is the turn of Otuoke people, and they are declaring autonomy.”

Mr. Bakare prayed that any agenda set to balkanize the nation would fail. “We are not saying that people should not control the resources in their own regions, but they had benefited from the largesse of our unity in the past. Now, they cannot divorce when they have their own child.” He added, “It is not true that Nigeria was formed by Lord Lugard, no. The Bible says in Acts 14 that God predetermines the boundaries of all nations. He only used the hands of those in the Western world (to form Nigeria).”

The pastor’s sermon suggested that President Goodluck Jonathan’s gluttony for power and the First Lady’s actions portrayed a couple bent on executive misadventures.

“Within ten years from when he was working among the marine animals, [Mr. Jonathan] was appointed to become deputy governor, and then became acting governor. Without even thinking about it, he was appointed as vice presidential candidate and, by doctrine of necessity, he became acting president. Before he could study how to act, God factor made him President. Now, he has not even performed in 2011/2012, he is planning for 2015. His middle name is Jeroboam!” said Mr. Bakare.

In a series of declamations, Mr. Bakare asserted, “When the shoeless takes over, he does clueless things. When such men of low estate find themselves in power, terrible things begin to happen.” He added, “It is the timidity of the inferior that prods them to cover up. Deep rivers flow in majestic silence.”

In today’s sermon, Mr. Bakare narrated a reported encounter between Mr. Jonathan and Cardinal Anthony Olubunmi Okogie during a visit by the former prior to the 2011 elections. Bakare related that Mr. Jonathan had requested that the Catholic prelate pray for him to win the 2011 election. In response, the latter reportedly prophesied, “You will win, but you will not rule.”

Pastor Bakare stated that the prophecy had been realized since Mrs. Jonathan and members of a cabal had overshadowed the president.

COMMENTS OF TUNDE BAKARE

The Bible Pray for your leaders..., Which kain pastor you be sef..., this Tunde Bakare do not lead Nigerians in to temptation.

I've an issue with my ears

I've an issue with my ears and it really bugs me. It really is known as tinnitus and it's a ringing inside your ear that in no way ever ends. If I am in my area with no noise wanting to fall asleep I hear it and it truly bugs. I've a noise machine which has like a waterfall, rain, crickets, and so on. I'd prefer to know if there is certainly any type of herb on the market that can take away this ringing or at the very least decrease it. It gets actually annoying since it does not go away. So if anyone available is going via the identical issue as me or knows about something that I can do, I would appreciate it. Thanks!.

21 century pentecost

am so inspired by ths mesrage sir. As far as i knw ths is d closest to pentecost nigeria hs ever experienced. 4rm uper room 2 market place. Becomin a voice 2 poke d moral tone of a pervese generatn. Let then throw stomes and call u names, it all part of it.
I see a revolutn building up slowly bt surely. Wow! Church, lets wake up.

God bless you bakare

I am happy pastor TB can talk the truth, many are the other pastors who declare peace in the land where there is no peace in the land. You cannot be a voice to the people in this wicked nation if God had not been behind you.MKO Abiola seek justice for his mandate and he was killed, how about Sarowiwa,kudirat abiola, fela anikulapo was jailed many times and wole Soyinka and others werer almost killed. Here you are Pastor Bakare. Am happy God is with you, you are a great man a know

Re;

This pastor can be so inaccurate once he goes profuse with his mouth. Western Nigeria did not use her resources to develop the Niger Delta neither did the North. Was he so poorly schooled? The Niger Delta in the Pre -Independence era was abuzz with Rubber, Oil Palm and even cocoa in the Benin areas. Why is this Pastor now talking as though the region had nothing to offer. And who says Nigeria must remain one at the altar of injustice and improverishment of the minorities? Pls tell TB to seek God properly and stop misleading the public. God is not interested in Keeping Nigeria as one Nation, it does not do God any good!

Spot the difference!

Boko Haram asks President Jonathan to RESIGN, and 'Pastor' Bakare calls for Jonathan to RESIGN!

Intellectually lazy people BLAME ALL the ills and problems of Nigeria on the President, while 'Pastor' Bakare also BLAMES ALL the problems of the country on Jonathan, including the bad state of roads within Local Govts, lack of portable water, poor state of education, insufficient food and poverty within Local Governments.

Clueless Nigerians, without any knowledge of Government and governance, BLAME the President for corruption in the States, Local Govts and the National Assembly, 'Pastor' Bakare does the same!

Is there any difference? None that I can see!

No geography!

I respect and admire Tunde Bakare! i love his passion and tenacity. I believe in his sense of fairness! I wish he would reserch his subject properly before dishing out comments. His sense of geography for one is very warped! he continues to do waht non easterners did before the civil war...lump everyone east of the niger together. Otuoke is a village, an Ogbia village in the heart of Bayelsa state while the Ogonis are far removed (in fact they are in Rivers State) The Ogoni declaration has nothing o do with Otuoke! Its just like saying that if an Epe man declares autonomy then the Ibadan or Oyo man is culpable!

@Anonymous - Refer to John 2:15

I pray you do not remain anonymous for the rest of your life, since you have chosen to stay anonymous.

I will respond to your question by referring you to John 2:15, where Jesus chased out all those not doing God's business from the temple. He chased out those selling cattle, sheep, doves, others exchanging money and any other person NOT DOING THE WORK OR BUSINESS OF GOD.

He said to them "Get these out of here! HOW DARE YOU TURN MY FATHER'S HOUSE INTO A MARKET (or in the case of Latter Rain Assembly, INTO A CPC POLITICAL RALLY OR CAMPAIGN GROUND)".

Does that answer you satisfactorily?

The Voice of the Voiceless

Pastor, you are the voice of the voiceless Nigerians are being oppressed on daily basis by President Jonathan and his wife but they cannot talk because of the fear of arrest and detention by over zelous law enforcement agents. Even a blind man can see that the President is not in control of his home and the nation but the wife is. Pastor, i salute your courage for speaking the truth in the face of all the intimidation and name callings.One thing is certain, if the President does not call his wife to order she will destroy him and Nigeria. Her love for power is unimaginable and unreasonable.She should take it easy.

@OC, where is God's house?

@OC, where is God's house? Where is God's Temple?

Remove your toga, elections ended last year!

'Pastor' Tunde Bakare, I am glad that many people can now see through you. They can see through your your message and shenanigans. They can see that you are abusing your office (or is it your calling).

Unfortunately, for you, most see you as a failed politician. A failed CPC Vice Presidential candidate. A sore loser, who has refused to accept defeat. You desecrate God's house and his temple to judge and condemn. As a Man of God, the Bible enjoins you to judge not or condemn not (Matth 7:1) Only God can judge and condemn!

Whose message do you preach? God's or man's? CPC's or Buhari's? Buhari is acting even more dignified than you, the only politician still campaigning.

Leave him and let him be. He

Leave him and let him be. He had said it that even if he is not teaching the Bible but politics we should use it to have a bbetter country. What is the use if he teaches Bible to a congregation that cannot have a country to practice the Bible teaching.if SSS caget his sermon tape to Aso Rock in 24 hrs why are they pretending not to hear the declaration. Let us have someone talking to them at least, since we cannot all keep silent or keep praying.

Tunde wake up from your

Tunde wake up from your slumber!!!

bakare vs jonathan

Soon,very soon,we shall watch videos of jonathan and his barrel-bodied wife been shot or strangled to death.even a dying yar-adua was able to respond harshly to the threat of boko haram,our dear goodluck just stares and stares while his country is been taking apart.in my mind,jonathan is worse than all other leaders of Nigeria put together.he does not have the wherewhithals to manage even a kindergarten talkless of a complex country like Nigeria.his continuos stay in power will only hasten the death of an already comatose Nigeria

@ Deri : Tak'am easy b4 you have a stroke!

@ Deri : Kool down, this na only the start of a series of sermons to come, Sabbath Day gist for us to discuss. Why are you having a siezure while we're still in 'Benediction', Mass neva start. Saharareporters was getting boring (accounting for my scanty visits recently) but, Baba Bakare has come to a timely rescue. Damn sure better than Rudolf Okonkwo. Wait to see how this plays out, stop rushing to judgement on everything. Bakare has never called for the murder of Dr. Dumbo, there's no record of his sermon calling for violence against the establishment so, what's your halla? If anything, it's Bakare that has to look over his shoulders. I'm apolitical but I will never fail to respect the truth once spoken by anyone regardless of party affiliation. What the man says about Naija is mostly correct and he certainly has a right to his opinion. Account for the issues raised by the person and stop attacking the persona. Drunkard!

Pastor Tunde Bakare's address

I wish to remind Nigerians of three maxims:
1.The future will have no pity for those men, who, possessing the exceptional privilege of speaking words of truth to their oppressors but have taken refuge in an attitude of passivity, of mute indifference and sometimes of cold complicity - Frantz Fanon
2. The man is dead, who keeps silent in the face of tyranny.
3. Things fall apart; the center cannot hold. The falcons can no longer hear the falconers; mere anarchy is loosed upon the earth.
Forget about who Pastor Bakare is. Objectively consider all he has said. Is he speaking the truth? We are watching!

BAKARE IS NOT A MAN OF GOD,BUT A POLITICIAN.

Bakare has left the pulpit for for politics,this shows he was not called into ministry in the first place. All his sermon since i have known him is just saying all kind of nonsense about government to his folowers.If i were a christian and a member of his church i would have organised an open protest against him,to either go into politics or hold unto the church.
Yeye man!
Shekana!

Let us sift the message from the messenger

While it is necessary for the Jonathans to be confronted about some of their excesses in greed and corruption, I take exception to some of the abusive language used by PTB as a man of God. He stirred the hornet's nest and so should expect sting of abuses from 3 sets of bees:
1. Christians who attend churches whose GO or Bishop got criticised in the past by PTB for some false doctrines e.g. drinking of anonting oil.
2. The "I voted for GEJ and not PDP" group who are being tormented by their conscience for a foolish decision on the basis of racial/religious bias or discrimination. They include both Christians and muslims who are unhappy about PTB conversion.
3. The Deri led crumbs catching "eweku ewele" praise singers hailing GEJ & Dame as they are sycophantically led to their premature grave. The bees making "yumu yumu" sounds on S/R forgot that PTB has preached against all bad leaders of Nigeria and GEJ cannot be an exception.

@tolu, you are a disgrace to

@tolu, you are a disgrace to mankind!it baffles me that you cannot see beyond your nose and would never free yourself from the sharkle of the rot going on in our country.A man that would not stand on his feet fighting will die on his knee begging.That is your case.
if you can close your eyes to poverty, backwardness, corruption in the country does not mean that others are like you.
tunde bakare is speaking the truth and only that truth will set you free.

Abeg make this guy take am easy!

Truth be told; this is too belittling of a pastor. haba, was this preached in a church or on a campaign ground!

Is GEJ Performing well???

Is GEJ performing well? If GEJ was performing well, will Bakare be able to say anything? GEJ supporters cannot even point to one achievement of the Goodluck administration....

GEJ has been rejected by Nigeria and its people, he is living on borrowed time...

GEJ has been rejected by Nigeria and its people, he is living on borrowed time...

His time will be up shortly...

I dont understand the way

I dont understand the way nigerians think.Has poverty eaten your brains that you find it difficult to understand that nigeria is at its brink.why is difficult for nigerians to find their voice? allow the pastor say what we all know is the truth.

At least the man is talking

At least the man is talking about d ills in govt, those so called men of God that host corrupt govt officials in their churches but don't have d decency to challenge them, I ask are d any better?

bakare doesn't knows his calling

it is so unfortunate that a man the suppose to be interceding for the nation is the one critising every past and present govt. if think he can be a best leader why didn't he come out as the presidential candidate in the last election instead of 2nd fidle. why has he been silenced over the xtians killing by boko haram or is he scared of them? i advise him and his supporters to shut their wide mouths if they can't pray for the nation

Our Brains are lopsided

What is wrong with we Nigerians? When can we ever think straight? I keep on repeating same thing every now and then, the essence of any government is to be earthly "god" to the people on earth. For those who can still remember the Lord's prayer.......thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven! Is this how it is in Heaven? The answer is definitely NO. So is Bakare crying out because he wanted bribe? To be frank, the resources this man has is enough to cater for himself and his family, but he is not after material wealth but how to liberate the masses.
Until we come to realise that we should ask our government, not God, for basic things of life, as God has already provided the means to them, we will find it difficult to have headway! That is the truth

posterity will not forgive this Leaders

it is disheartening to see some people condemning this Pastor. All I know is that posterity will not forgive these wicked and heartless so called leaders.Nothing seems to be working in this country I think it is time to call a spade a spade nad not just an agricultural implement. May God keep Pastor Bakere and his likes, God Will give more Grace to speak without fear or favour.

MLK/BAKARE

@Jackson...please go back and read what I wrote..I never said Bakare is another MLK. I said Rev, Pastors and Bishops all over the world do comment on politics...like Desmond Tutu and MLK...got it ?..If I get to hell and you aint there, ima be pissed !

SHEIK TUNDE BAKARE - Your Words Confirms the Islamic DNA in you

Some times I begin to wonder how a cronic radical Muslim, Sheikh Tunde Bakare proclaimed himself a Xtian? This humanizer and demonic idiot typical of the usual Yoruba tribal hatefulness, dangerously has the Islamic DNA in him. Nigerians must disregard whatever that comes out of his mouth because he failed his quest to become a Vice President. He should rush the Oduduwa Repulica agenda for a quick proclamation of an independent state and probably he will be one within. A devilish mind that sees nothing in the genocidal activities of the Boko haram but has much to talk about the wife of the president disrespectfully. Sheikh Tunde Bakare we know is more of a Muslim than what he confuses people of being a Xtian. Sheikh Tunde Bakare is demonic being. I recommend his case and custody strongly to the delta Militants

Bakare answered you where he

Bakare answered you where he said ''before he (Jonathan) could study how to act, God factor made him president''. Bakare acknowledges God as the one who enthrones. So what's your point?

and what has God being the one who enthrones got to do with misgovernance or speaking out against misgovernance?

bakare vs jonathan

After reading some of the comments here directed at pastor bakare,i cannot help but think that Nigeria is peopled by lunatics.how can any right thinking human being defend what jonathan and his wife have subjected Nigerians to?spending billions of naira to host some dumb.ass jamboree for so-called first ladies while thousands of Nigerian children are still threatened by polio that cost less than a dollar to prevent?a president that is globe-trotting while terrorist lay siege to his domain?his i dont give a damn answer as to why he has not declared his assets still rings in my ears.I think we need a million more bakares to drum the truth into our lunatic ears.a stich in time saves nine,let jonathan and all his followers on this page remember what happened to caecesscu and his wife in Romania.jonathan and his wife a certainly heading that way.
