Whether it’s Pastors Adeboye and Oyedepo’s God of Israel or others. All Gods kill, murder human beings and go scot-free. Not even the United Nations has been able to indict the God of Israel for killing innocent firstborn Egyptian Children. All Gods have blood on their hands.
Whether it’s Pastors Adeboye and Oyedepo’s God of Israel or others. All Gods kill, murder human beings and go scot-free. Not even the United Nations has been able to indict the God of Israel for killing innocent firstborn Egyptian Children. All Gods have blood on their hands.
If Adolf Hitler and Saddam Hussein were to be Gods, they would’ve gone free of charge despite tons of human beings they killed, murdered and maimed. But who dare challenge the Gods when they misbehave or go on rampage killing? In the business of murder and senseless killings, the Gods are in the champion’s league. Next to them, are the Mafia and Nigerian politicians in that order. Human beings do not have the luck of the Devil, as do lucky infallible Gods who get away with heinous conducts of criminal wrongdoings. Even Ola Rotimi wrote a testimony to the effect that the “Gods Are Not To Blamed.” Every man should be responsible for their deeds.
Gods are like the shepherd in ancient Greece during the time of Plato; the shepherd woke up one morning and found out that he had the Gyges ring which enables him to vanish. With the magic ring, he sets out to do preposterous things as sleeping with the king’s wife, causing accident and bewitching his enemies. He conducted his sleazes while remaining invincible. And this begs the question if anyone would behave with proper decency if he’s aware that he could do anything in secret and not be dictated or challenged? PDP has brought sorrow, tears and blood on the streets and in the homes of Nigerians due that no one could challenge them as yet.
This article is purposive on the news or speculation that the juju God Ayelala, killed those who looted Oba market when fire razed it down to earth four years. Most Benin City dwellers are contented that the looters got their just rewards. No one is raising hell that the God of Ayelala bypassed constitution judicial system and took the law into its or His hands in killing those who looted the Oba market in Benin City, when it burnt down.
But, come to think about it! Were the looters actually and physically killed by Ayelala? Are Ayelala worshippers not the ones actually hiding under their juju God to kill people?
Under instruction from their God, the Catholic Church during the middle Ages killed thousands of women on hoaxed charges that they were witches. The Muslim fanatics of today are killing apostates of Islam due to commandments handed them by their God. Ayelala pastors/priests and members of all shades, should be held responsible in the event that any death is recorded to Ayelala. While Ayelala worshippers are doing the killings and pretending that their God is solely responsible, Muslim fanatics and the Catholic Church of Middle Ages took responsibility for the killings but as recommended by their Gods. Law enforcement people or some journalist need to expose juju God worshippers in Nigeria who practically are killing people clandestinely and pretending it’s God’s doings.
God is idle, complacent and powerless until men hide under it, Him or Her to do all kinds of things. Including, tricking churchgoers out of their monies to buying airplane. Plus, Ayelala or Orkija pastors killing people secretly under the pretences of their varying Gods. Men hide under Gods to gather power, wealth or money and massage their egos under the pretences that it is God’s doings.
Gods are like Gun. If you leave gun alone, it kills no one – until someone pulls the trigger.
Bygones are the days when religionists opine that we should excuse and exclude God from topics of discussions. Opinions aired by churchists concerning ‘touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm’ should be jettisoned and chucked into the trashcan. And replace with enlightened and thoroughgoing probes of investigation about the activities of Gods and men of God. Since we discuss everything under the sun, we should also talk about Gods and men of God. We talk about life and death, porno, political corruption, sex, drug and rocking roll and whatnots. Gods should also be investigated. More so, since men have had bellyful of wicked and uninspiring ways of killer and maiming Gods and their pastors-priests cum members, since time immemorial.
A superior police officer who lectured his policemen who gathered to take lessons in preparation for 2011 election, told his police students last week in a lecture hall in Benin City how a policewoman was among those killed by Ayelala God four years ago in Oba market fire looting. According to police lecturer, the policewoman was motivated partly by greed and poor salary to partake in looting the burnt market. The senior police lecturer like so many people in Benin City, Nigeria, do seriously believes that the market looters were actually mowed down by Ayelala for their sin. Everyone should be wowed in a country where citizens overlook law-enforcement people and report their cases to unconventional century-long juju pastors or priests to help do justice for them.
More so, that a higher-up police officer would adhere to superstition when police ethics or modus operandi is well based on scientific evidences of proofs in matters arising from unnatural causes of death, is the highpoint of ignorance. How’d a police officer go to court to tell a judge that a citizen was killed by juju God or whatever God, in this 20st century?
If the Police would do their job scientifically as due, they will discover that is either the looters were killed via poisoning, or their cars manipulated, or by strangulation, and or otherwise. There has to be the fingerprints of Ayelala worshipers on those who were killed, if proper investigation is conducted as a matter of fact.

Ayelala God, like the God of Israel or Orkija God and co., does not exist and therefore can not take any physical action as to killing or causing anyone death or physical pain. Those who member these religions should be held responsible for all acts of atrocity credited to their Gods. Their Gods only existed in the figments of their personal imaginations.
Storeowners at the burnt and looted Oba market in Benin City, having no faith in the police and court system, took their fates to Ayelala God, to fish out and kill those who looted their wares when the market was gutted by fire. According to the news Edo-wide, the dead looters refused to heed warnings to return items stolen by them. No wonder they were killed by Ayelala, as myth would have it! No, looters were murdered by Ayelala worshippers not Ayelala God Itself. That’s if it’s true that the worshippers have taken claim to the effect that looters were killed by Ayelala.
The police should investigate, to put a human face on the killings. Gods are impotent and therefore, incapable of killing anyone.
