The General Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare,
has prophesied the return of the missing abducted Chibok schoolgirls this year.
Speaking during the church’s crossover service into the New Year on
Thursday morning, Bakare told his congregation that Nigeria would enjoy
extraordinary grace from God this year, which would see the return of the
missing girls.
He said, “The Chibok girls will be returned this year; some people will
say ‘they are just using religion to deceive themselves. How will the girls be
rescued?’ You will see. I didn’t say it, it is what God said and I believe it.”
With the support of various Bible verses, the cleric also foresaw a new
Nigeria which would bring joy to the citizens.
Bakare urged Nigerians to stop tribal discrimination, which he described
as bad for the country.
He asked the citizens to stop cracking jokes that desecrate the various
tribes of the country.
The cleric said, “Whether you are from the East or from the West or from
the North or the South, you will experience joy in 2015. Other nations will say
‘how did they do it.’ It will be indescribable joy. The nations of the earth
will testify. I bring good tidings of joy to every part of the nation but I am
not going to deceive you, we are going to go through some shakings.
“Let us not desecrate ourselves, saying this one is Ngbati-ngbati
or that one is Aboki and things like that. These are terrible things.
Some people will say ‘if you see a snake on one side and a Fulani man on
another, first kill the Fulani. There is also a terrible joke some people tell
about the Igbos.”
Bakare also criticised the state of environmental degradation in the
Niger Delta area of the country, which he described as unfair. He narrated an
experience he had in the area where he had to rely on the use of table water
for washing and other domestic uses because of pollution.
“I asked what I would do with all the table water that was brought and
they said ‘you would need it’. The water from the borehole dug deep into the
ground was black and when I asked how I would get water to wash and do other
things, they said that was why they gave me all the table water.” he said.
