Nigerian man returns empty-handed after 30 years abroad

"I don't know where my kids are" - Nigerian man heartbroken after working tirelessly abroad for 30 years, returns home empty-handed

A Nigerian man, Joseph Ibironke has shared his harrowing experience of spending 30 years abroad in search of a better life, only to return to Nigeria empty-handed. The man, who initially moved to the United Kingdom in the early 1980s, disclosed the challenges he faced during his extensive sojourn. “I left Nigeria in the 1980s. If memory serves me right, I was in my 30s when I left Nigeria, and that should be between 1983 and 1984,” he said. He recounted leaving his job at Union Bank in pursuit of greener pastures, settling in the UK for nine years where he worked as a security guard for Burns International Security Services Limited. Unsatisfied with his situation, he later moved to the United States, where he spent 21 years, becoming a successful electronics dealer. “I was working. I worked as a security officer after I was trained as a security guard at Burns International Security Services Limited, United Kingdom. I was trained as an armed guard. When I moved to the US, I also worked with them for a while,” he added. In an exclusive interview with Punch Newspapers, the man expressed the pain of losing contact with his four children born in the U.S. He lamented not knowing their whereabouts, revealing that their mother left him during a period of sickness. “As I earlier said, I worked with Burns and I also worked with the Federal Bureau of Investigation Police Department before I resigned because God called me to be a pastor. That was when I resigned in Los Angeles after working for about two years. Also, I had a store in Orange County, California, which was predominantly occupied by whites, no blacks lived there. In Orange County, I sold sophisticated electronics. I was always going to Japan to buy electronics and sell them. I was also the only black in Orange County at the time who made it (was successful).”  “I was married with four children. Right now, I don’t know their whereabouts and it’s very painful knowing you have children somewhere and you don’t know where they are. But I know that they can’t suffer over there. Their mother left me after my sickness,” the man said. The man narrated the alarming events leading to his return to Nigeria, disclosing a mysterious illness that befell him in the U.S. According to his account, his American wife claimed he began “barking like a dog” one night after intimacy, leading to an ambulance rushing him to Cal State Teaching Hospital, California. Despite 14 months of medical attention, doctors were unable to diagnose his ailment, prompting advice from the Nigerian community in the U.S. to seek spiritual intervention back in Nigeria. “My wife told me that one midnight after making love together and we slept, I started barking like a dog, and that I was foaming in my mouth. She told me that she was scared, called for help and an ambulance was called and they rushed me to Cal State Teaching Hospital, California. I was there for 14 months and the doctors couldn’t detect what was wrong with me. Nigerians over there (in the US) who saw me and my condition said it was a spiritual attack and advised that I be taken back to Nigeria for treatment,” the man said. Returning to Nigeria, Pastor Ibironke faced years of homelessness, sleeping under bridges in Lagos until a fellow pastor, identified as Labe Orun, intervened. Under the guidance of Prophet Ezekiel Oladeinde, also known as Baba Pakoto, he spent six years at the Pakoto Prayer Mountain in Ifo, eventually achieving a partial recovery. “It was Labe Orun who took me to Pakoto Prayer Mountain in Ifo, where I spent six years before I recovered, even though not completely. It was under the leadership of Prophet Ezekiel Oladeinde, popularly called Baba Pakoto, that I recovered,” the man added.

Nigerian man shares surprising encounter with prophet at church

Nigerian man shares surprising encounter with prophet at church

A Nigerian man recently found himself at the center of attention during a visit to his wife’s friend’s church. The man identified as @serial_ranter on TikTok narrated how his visit led to an unexpected encounter with the pastor. As the worship and praise session came to an end, the pastor took to the pulpit and, after a series of energetic movements, locked eyes with the man. Pointing directly at him, the pastor’s actions sparked excitement in the man’s wife and her friend, who urged him to step outside. Reluctantly, the man followed their instructions and stood at the altar, surrounded by the curious eyes of the congregation. However, confusion set in as he waited for the pastor’s next move. After nearly 20 minutes of anticipation, the man decided to return to his seat, only to be stopped by his wife and her friend, who frantically signaled for him to wait for the pastor’s “release.” The pastor’s attention finally returned to the man, and what followed left him dumbfounded. Accusing him of possessing a prideful spirit and having a spiritual wife, the pastor warned that unless he changed his ways, more spiritual children would be born to him. The man, quick to defend himself, pointed out that it was his wife who had invited him to the church. Undeterred, the pastor insisted on his claims, leaving the man and the congregation in a state of disbelief. The situation escalated, leading to chaos within the church. The man’s wife rushed to his side, apologizing for bringing him to what she now believed to be a false prophet. In his words; “My wife has been disturbing me to follow her to her friends church, according to her, the man sees and performs miracles. I refused and for days my wife began carrying face for me. Baby, what’s wrong with our church? I asked her one day
She said the man will see something for us “Something like, what are we looking for?” She said I should stop questioning her and just come along so I agreed and followed her and her friend to the church. “I was rocking the earrings my wife bought for me, and a week before she had plaited my afro this new style young boys normally carry but then I forgot my wedding ring, and so I started hiding my finger because I knew if my wife found out I forgot my wedding ring but not my earrings again, I am finished. Luckily she didn’t even notice and so after a few hours of worship and praise, the pastor climbed the pulpit and after jumping up and down he looked directly at me for so seconds then pointed at me. “My wife and her friend eyes lit up in excitement and both of them nudged me up and asked me to go outside. “Go where, did he ask me to come out?!” I asked them. They told me that’s how he operates. Once he points at you, you immediately run out because he has seen something for you. Reluctantly, I went out and stood at the altar where one of the ushers asked me to and everyone started clapping. “The pastor left me standing there, he started preaching and shouting while I stood there in front of the whole church, waiting. After almost 20 minutes of standing, I turned and started walking back to my seat but I saw my wife and her friend frantically waving their hands at me to go back, and then one usher ran and asked me to please wait for the pastor to release me
“Release me, am I under arrest?” I asked him. “Next thing the pastor turned to me and said, I am possessed with a prideful spirit and I even have a spiritual wife and that’s why I am not married yet. I looked at him and said it’s a lie, that it’s actually my wife that invited me here then I pointed to my wife in the congregation. The pastor did not even flinch instead he smiled and said he knows I’m married and if I don’t change my ways and cut my hair, remove the earrings and start living a holy life, more girls will give birth for me. “I told him I and my wife don’t have kids yet and no woman has a baby for me. He said he’s not talking about physical women that I have spiritual kids from my spiritual wife, and if I don’t change I will have more spiritual children. I told him as long as I’m not responsible for their upkeep, it’s fine. Church scatter, That’s how my wife ran and came to carry me from the altar and started apologizing to me for bringing me to the false prophet.” Read the tweet below: My wife has been disturbing me to follow her to her friends church, according to her, the man sees and performs miracles I refused and for days my wife began carrying face for me Baby, what’s wrong with our church?

Nigerian student arrested for impregnating 4 female police officers

Jamil Ezebuike, a Nigerian student from Anambra State, has become involved in a legal maze in the United States for impregnating four police officers. Ezebuike is accused of impregnating four female police officers while enrolled in a women’s security course at a prestigious institution in New Jersey. Ezebuike arrived in the United States as an international student after obtaining a non-immigrant study permit. Nigerian student arrested for impregnating 4 female police officersNigerian student arrested for impregnating 4 female police officersPregnant woman. photos source: Getty images He had thrown himself into a course that fit with his academic goals as an aspiring professional in women’s security. The detailed account of his arrest reveals a well-planned lie. While remaining unseen, Ezebuike was able to engage romantically with four female police officers simultaneously. Until one of the officers—who had been betrothed by Ezebuike—found out, the relationships were kept a secret. The officer’s decision to look into it further and discover Ezebuike’s involvement with three other female police officers adds a level of intrigue to the scenario. The officer’s reporting of the situation following the disclosure led to Ezebuike’s capture by security personnel. He might be charged with a crime and suffer severe legal consequences if he is found guilty. If proven guilty, the punishment might be deportation back to Nigeria, which would seriously hinder his academic and personal goals.
