By Emmanuel Kwada 

In a powerful and impassioned address to the nation, Prophet Isa El-Buba, a revered Nigerian cleric, founder of the Evangelical Bible Outreach Ministry International (EBOMI), and a prominent voice in Nigeria’s Christian community, has issued a stark warning to the country’s leaders and citizens alike.

Known for his bold prophetic messages and unwavering commitment to social justice, El-Buba, who describes himself as a “watchman over the soul of Nigeria,” delivered a televised broadcast titled “A Prophetic Word for Nigeria,” calling for urgent action to address the nation’s deep-seated moral and spiritual crises and avert divine judgment.

His message, delivered with the fervor of a prophet and the urgency of a patriot, outlined five critical steps Nigeria must take to heal its bleeding wounds and restore hope to its people.

El-Buba’s address painted a grim picture of Nigeria’s current state, describing it as a “nation bleeding in silence.”

He highlighted the relentless violence targeting Christian and Hausa communities, particularly in regions such as Plateau, Southern Kaduna, Benue, Taraba, Borno, Zamfara, Katsina, Sokoto, and Kebbi.

“This is not a communal clash. It is genocide,” he declared, accusing authorities of downplaying coordinated attacks aimed at erasing entire communities and their faiths.

He pointed to burnt villages, slaughtered children, violated women, and destroyed churches as evidence of a deliberate campaign to “silence hope and mock justice.”

The prophet expressed frustration with successive governments’ failure to deliver justice, accusing them of issuing “statements without sincerity, condolences without courage, and promises without protection.”

He went further, stating that “silence in the face of evil is sin” and warned that Nigeria’s complicity in allowing these atrocities to persist has placed the nation under divine judgment.

Drawing on the words of the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, whom El-Buba described as a “prophet in a politician’s robe,” he referenced Awolowo’s warning that no system built on deceit can endure.

“Our democracy is tainted. Our politics have lost its soul,” El-Buba lamented, pointing to leaders who prioritize personal gain over public service and defect between political parties for convenience rather than conviction.

He warned that thrones built on deceit are collapsing, particularly in northern Nigeria, and predicted that God would soon visit the “gates of those who sit in comfort while His people perish.”

El-Buba’s message resonated with millions of Nigerians, both at home and in the diaspora, who have responded to his call for a moral awakening.

He acknowledged the support of Muslim clerics and Hausa communities, emphasizing that his message transcends religious and ethnic divides. “This is a time to come broken before God,” he urged, calling for unity in the face of shared suffering.

Your vote is your destiny. Do not sell your conscience for crumbs

At the heart of El-Buba’s address were five actionable steps he believes Nigeria must take to avert divine wrath and restore the nation’s moral and spiritual foundation:

1. Acknowledge the Truth: El-Buba called on President Bola Tinubu to stop mislabeling organized massacres as “clashes.” He stressed that healing cannot begin until the government names and confronts the reality of genocide and coordinated attacks against communities.
2. Restore Justice and Security: The prophet urged a purge of bias and compromise within the security apparatus, including the military, police, and even the president’s cabinet. He demanded equal protection for all Nigerians, regardless of faith or ethnicity.
3. Rebuild Broken Communities: El-Buba advocated for the establishment of a national reconstruction and victim fund to support displaced families, emphasizing that this is a governmental duty, not charity. Millions of Nigerians, he noted, are languishing in displacement due to violence.
4. Expose Sponsors of Terror: He challenged the government to reveal the identities of those financing terrorism, asserting that the intelligence used to track criminals can also uncover the masterminds behind Nigeria’s violence.
5. Lead in Repentance: In a striking call to action, El-Buba urged the president, governors, and ministers to lead a national day of repentance, kneeling before God to confess the nation’s failure to uphold righteousness. “Until there is repentance, there will be no recovery,” he warned.

El-Buba reserved strong words for Nigeria’s Christian community, urging the church to move from “convenient Christianity” to genuine intercession and action.

“This is not the hour for entertainment,” he said, calling for a shift from passive worship to active prayer and advocacy.

To all Nigerians, he issued a passionate plea: “Do not sell your conscience for crumbs.” He criticized individuals like Reno Omokri and Daniel Bwala, accusing them of compromising truth for personal gain, and urged citizens to protect their votes as a sacred covenant.

“Your vote is your destiny,” he emphasized, encouraging Nigerians to obtain their voter’s cards and resist intimidation. He stressed that lasting change will only come when the people demand righteousness and fear God more than money.

Despite the dire warnings, El-Buba’s address was not without hope. Quoting God’s promise, he declared, “After darkness comes the glorious dawn.”

He prophesied that Nigeria would rise again through truth, repentance, and justice, with God raising leaders who prioritize righteousness over power. “I will breathe upon your dried bones again,” he said, invoking divine restoration for a nation on the brink.

El-Buba called on Nigerians to join a nationwide prayer movement, announcing plans for gatherings across states on November 29 to seek repentance and healing for the nation.

“Let’s spread this message to every Nigerian of conscience,” he urged, rallying citizens to drive the process for a new Nigeria.

“May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” he concluded. “May His peace reign again within our borders.”
