Asaba

Now, where this whole dream started about becoming a CEO happened on a particular day.

After I was employed in Lagos, I was transferred to a remote location then, Asaba.

Asaba was just coming up, and then they moved me from Lagos to Asaba.

It was, it was like punishing somebody, taking someone from a big city to a village.

And then I remember the day of the opening of the branch.

2002, yes, I went to work on a Friday, just like my brother.

That's why I said [chuckles] there's a lot of similarity around some of these things.

On Friday, but by then I was in charge of the, you know, regional office, Port Harcourt, Asaba, Enugu, you know, um, Onitsha.

That's right.

Asaba, Onitsha, Kumasi, Kano.

Shake your body small.

Body small.

yeah

or how we're like oh live in the country the the period the time you spent moving from nigeria up until loma for instance you have to pass through bene In that time, you haven't moved from Abuja to like Asaba or like you haven't gotten to, let me say the eastern part of the, you probably haven't gotten to Enugu yet.

You'll be at maybe Benwe or Lokoja or somewhere.

True that.

My Bible says He has broken the gates of brass and cut the bars of iron asunder.

I decree and declare the gates that open to the city of Asaba, tonight may it be opened hither and thither in the name of Jesus Christ.

[upbeat music] Please be seated.

Now watch this.

[prays in foreign language] Ah, there are many men of God that will rise from this meeting.

[congregation cheers] Honestly, this is what God is showing me.

There are many people Asaba is in need of greater envoys, greater witnesses, and I'm seeing there is an oil, there is a stirring.

God is still looking for...

Not just when we are in church, but everywhere we find ourselves.

I think I shared with you, I was sharing in Asaba.

I was going to minister and I just started hearing someone fighting.

I heard the voice of a young man telling an elderly man, get off of my front.

Like, it was a struggle.

At that time, I think my dad was working in Asaba, so we were all just stuck in Asaba.

And I'm like, "Yeah, I understand that it's COVID, but people are still working, so I should be able to go to the studio and record." And then I think at the time, Plug NG hit me up, and they were trying to get me to record the song, to distribute the song, and none of this had ever happened to me before.

I mean, I had two singles out before then, but you know, just me putting out songs so that people would have something to reference if I say I'm an artist.

know? Alright, so moving on.

Binning Asaba Road, Umahi breaks concession deadlock.

Yes, I would like to thank David Umahi.

He has done well in this particular instance.

That means whatever happens to believers, whatever happens to churches, it can go places provided you are alright.

Are we together? So what is happening to the church in Asaba is none of my business.

You see, in that kind of mindset, whether a pastor is suffering, whether the pastor is going through an attack, it's none of my business.

Provided I am doing well as a person.

Are we together? Yes.

If you stand before Pharaoh, just as a man, then you may not survive it.

If you stand before the darkness, the spirits that are around Asaba, and generally the sound east, sound south, And you just want to say, look, you are 500 years in witchcraft, 200 years in witchcraft.

I've come to destroy the shrine.
