A religious organization, the Christian Movement for the Transformation of the Nigerian System of Government to Biblical Theocracy, has predicted divine intervention to the lingering waves of banditry, kidnappings and all sorts of social vices presently holding Nigerians hostage.
The leader of the Movement, Pastor Ifeanyichukwu Kelvin Lawrence, announced this at a press conference in Warri, Delta State during which he unveiled what he described as the roadmap to the transformation of the Nigerian system of government to Biblical Theocracy.
According to him, God would soon intervene in the nation’s affairs via a divine change of the country’s name from the Federal Republic of Nigeria to the Sovereign Theocratic State of Saints (STSS).
Also, he said that the abolition of the country’s 1999 Constitution and its replacement with a divine based constitution is in the offing as a precursor to ensuring a new Nigeria..
While rekindling the hope for a new Nigeria in the nearest future, the cleric however urged the authorities to key into finding enduring solutions to the problems of terrorism, killer herdsmen, banditry and the IPOB separatist struggle in the country saying that Nigeria will not know peace unless government handles the issues with utmost care.
He said, “The fundamental objectives that God laid out for the new country are: Change of name of the country from the Federal Republic of Nigeria to the Sovereign Theocratic State Of Saints.
“Abolishment of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria (as amended) to uphold, protect, preserve and enforce strict compliance to the tenets of the Bible-based laws,
“Elimination of poverty in the country with an investment of $1.2 trillion into the economy by way of stocks, for the development of three modern cities of six million residents on a 620, 000 hectares of forest land area in each Region/Province, Stem astronomic increase in moral decadence in society,
“Sweeping away the venom of bribery, corruption, advanced freep fraud and money ritual activities from the country through government’s seizure of illegal wealth, end Islamist terrorism, Fulani herdsmen attacks, banditry and IPOB separatism struggle in the country, among others”.
The Movement also advocated proscription of idolatrous and cultural practices in the country and called for the unification of existing church denominations into one entity under State control with the installation of a National High Priest who’ll be selected through a divine proclamation after a contest similar to that of biblical Elijah and the prophets of Baal.
It urged the federal government to stamp out money ritual activities from the country “with an iron broom through government seizure of illegal wealth and death penalty passed on the offender through an open transparent court process.”
Pastor Ifeanyichukwu Lawrence further told newsmen that divine revelations have already unveiled that the country would soon secure “blanket recovery of 1.2 trillion USA Dollars stolen wealth of the country by way of a supernatural outbreak of plague of incurable severe epilepsy and white leprosy attack against the persons who have stolen or inherited part of the stolen wealth of the country.
“And against the person’s entire family members who enjoy the stolen wealth with the person until they make a public confession of the crime and full restitution of the value of what they stole and add to it five per cent of the value in a live televised Messiah Committee of Truth and Reconciliation (MCTR) Public hearing of the crime.”
He further made case for stemming of the astronomical increase in moral decadence in the society as he advocated proscription of idolatrous religious cultural practices in the country.
He called for the unification of existing church denominations into one entity under State control with installation of a national high priest.
The movement also urged government to step up its war against corruption by “sweeping away the vermin of bribery, corruption and advance fee fraud, including money ritual activities from the country with iron broom through government seizure of illegal wealth and death penalty passed on the offender through open transparent court process”.
