| Apostle Emmanuel Emmanuel |
W.N: Good day sir. Can we know you?
Apostle: God bless you, My Name Is Apostle Emmanuel Emmanuel
W.N: How long have you been in ministry?
Apostle: I Answered Call Into Ministry In Year 2006
W.N: Can you tell us a little about your ministry?
Apostle: My Ministry Eagles Prophetic Gospel Centre Int'l, Which Is Base Here In Gombe State. Is A Ministry Set Aside By God And Commissioned To Restore Humanity To God's Original Purpose, By The Preaching Of The Word Of Grace And Reconciliation..... Making Ordinary Men Become Extraordinary Men Of Valour.
W.N: So can you tell us about the little boy who was in your custody and how you got to know him and bring him under your roof
Apostle The Young Boy Who Stayed Under My Roof By The Name Daniel James Was The Last Child Of My Spiritual Daughter Miss Abigail James, He Is A Tiv By Tribe.
In The Year 2016 I And My Team Set Out As Usual For Soul Winning And Evangelism, We Came Into A Brotel In Sabonline, Here In Gombe Metropolis, There We Met Her As A Sex Worker, I Personally Preached To Her, Won Her For Christ, Brought Her Out Of The Brotel, Established Her In A Business, Got Her Accommodation.
I Immediately Asked Her To Bring Her Children From Benue State Down To Gombe In order To Live With Her So That Her Ex Customers Won't Start Coming Around. She Brought Her 2 Sons I Enrolled Them Both Into School. In 2017 Daniel James Was Brought To My House Due To His Stubbornness, He Started Having Issues With Almajiris That Lives Around His Mother's House. So As To Avoid Religious Crisis, His Mother Brought Him To Live With Me And My Wife, Mind You Before Coming Under My Roof I Was Already Taking Responsibility For His School Fees, Clothing, Feeding And What Have You. So Coming Under My Roof Nothing Changed.
Daniel James While Living With His Mother, He Is Fond Of Stealing Meats From The Pot, Bringing Home Other Pupils Pencils, Books. He Will Empty His Mother's Powder Milk And Leave The Tin Empty.
Now That He Is With Me, We Thought He Will Have A Change Of Heart But Honestly, It Obvious That Taking What Does Not Belong To Daniel James Is Already Part Of His Life.....Daniel James doesn't use Key To Enter The House, He Can Go Through The Window.....
W.N:What a story... very pathetic. sir, precisely on the 4th of October, 2019 news went round the internet and on national dailies in Nigeria accusing you of toturing these said Daniel James but the press didnt give detailed explanations of what happened because we noticed a breach in the reports. what do u have to say about what happened. I believe Nigerians are still in the dark about the truth.
Apostle:I Believe That What Ever God Has Destined A Man To Go Through In Life, No Power Nor Persons Can Stop It.
I Have Always Treated Daniel James As My Own Biological Son, After all Daniel Wasn't The First Person To Live Under My Roof, God Has Used Me To Train And Raise Countless Young Men Even Before I Encountered Daniel James.
Anyone That Knows Me Very Well Will Testify That I Emmanuel Emmanuel Is A Principled Man, I Don't Allow Waywardness Around Me.
I Grew Among Discontented People, Wrong Association Made Me Smoke And Almost Ended On The Street Of Panshekara In Kumbosto Local Government Of Kano State, Whatever I Am Today I Own It To My Mother, Mrs Bilikisu Oloduowo Olayanju, She Is A Disciplinarian, My Mum Didn't Pamper Me, She Was Hard On Me And She Ensured That Today Am That Son She Can Call Her Son.
Back To Your Question, I Emmanuel Emmanuel Seeing That I Wouldn't See My Son Grow Up To Be Called A Thief or Hooligan, I Became Hard On Daniel James So As To See That He Make A Meaning Out Of His Life... July Ending I Disciplined Daniel For Stealing Food That Was Not Given To Him.... I Just Finished Ironing My shirt when my wife reported Daniel To Me, I Gave him punishment to do in the seating room, I Asked him if it true he took the food, as usual he denied the allegations, I then went to my kitchen where the pressing iron was, I brought it thinking if I threaten him he will speak out the truth, unfortunately he fell on the iron, by morning I discovered that Daniel hath burns on his hand, face and lap...I quickly went to the chemist and got him drugs.... September 26th I saw police in my house demanding for my presence in their station with Daniel James.... Before I know I was detained 26th September to 3rd of October when I was charged to court.... Now mind you Daniel's mother was not the complainant, we later realized that some persons with the interest of seeing that they rubbish my ministry and drag God's name to the mood are the brain behind the whole issue. Daniel James and his family still comes to church, infact my relationship with his mother and brother didn't drop for once. His mother is the church treasurer.
W.N: Sorry sir for the whole ordeals you went through... it must have been tough for you.
Apostle: Since my conversion into Christianity and my coming into ministry, I have never been subjected to such a mockery and ridicule but I count it all Joy....
W.N: so you're saying you still have a good relationship with the little boy and his family?
Apostle: Why not, He Is Not Deformed, He Is Not Blind, Neither Was He Mad..... Infact Last Week His Mother Reported Him To Me, That He Is No Longer Going To School, He Has Refused To Do House Chaos And Has Refused To Take His Bath For 2 Days..... I Went To Their House And Do The Needful, I Ensure He Went Back To School And Also Do All That He's Been Asked To Do.... So To The Best Of My Ability Nobody Can Come In Between Me And This Family.... As A Pastor I Structured My Ministry In Such A Way That Every Member Sees Themselves As One Family.
W.N: what do you have to say about the way in which fake news has become the main thing in Nigeria today
Apostle: I consider it as a weapon in the hand of ignorant, unpatriotic elements seeking cheap popularity.
I want Nigerians to know that the reason this nation is going through what she is going through today is simply because we have abandon morality and embrace fake live style.... Remember that it families that makes up society and society makes up a Nation. Let us go back to our churches, mosques, houses and schools and ensure that we raise a God fearing children if we truly hope for a better Nigeria.
My advice to everyone out there, please whenever you come across any news, before coming to conclusion, think twice. If the writers are stupid, should you the reader be stupid and foolish as well? Fake Nigeria Destroys Great Nations And Demoralises Great Minds....Let Stop Spreading Fake News
W.N: thank you sir for spending time with us today
Apostle: I Am Really Grateful Sir.... May God Almighty Prosper Your Organization And Announce You Beyond Africa. Keep the tempo burning
W.N: How long have you been in ministry?
