ONE TRUTH IS THE ONLY SOLUTION TO SOLVE NIGERIA’S PAINFUL CHALLENGES – EMMANUEL ALUEDE
What a charismatic figure and an exemplary financial consultant of International repute. Aluede has travelled far and wide, educating himself and others around him on how beautiful the world is created. He is a spirit-filled man who does not take drastic life changing decisions without applying spiritual processes. He is a quintessential psychologist who knows the importance of truth application in a aspects of life. In this interview with Adaobi Enekwa of Blissful Affairs Magazine, Aluede spoke on himself, topical Spiritual issues, humanitarianism and national issues. Excerpts:
Q: Can you tell us more about yourself?
I would like to say I am who I am because I don’t follow the bandwagon. Again, am a spirit-led person. I don’t know how to describe myself. Actually, I was born Emmanuel Erime Aluede to a father, Edison Aluede who is a merchant navy sailor and mother, Lucy Aluede. Am one of those who they call true Bendelites because half of me, my parents are from Edo and Delta states and its strange .
When people ask me, where’re you from? I always ask them, what do you mean. I want to understand the question before I can give an answer. A lot of people see where they’re from as where their parents are from. Well, I totally disagree. Where my parents are from is my blood line and being a Christian faith in my spirit, I like to practice it to the best of my spiritual understanding. If I ask a Christian where is Jesus Christ from, they would say Jesus Christ is from Bethlehem, Nazareth where he was born and if I ask where Adam and Eve is from, they will say Adam and Eve is from Eden. When I say to them, why don’t you apply that into your life, where you’re from is where you’re birthed, where God originated you which is different from bloodline. Even in the Bible, bloodline of the descendants of Abraham is recognized and that’s your tribe
So people tend to confuse things and I think it’s clear and I make this known to the audience , am from Lagos State because that is my bloodline. I was actually born in Maroko when it was Maroko and not this Lekki as we say. So anyone who lives in the 60s through 70s and 80s when things were demolished will know that Maroko was one of the greatest ghettos in Lagos so that was where I was born, that was where I was raised and am currently married with three kids.
Am a financial consultant and I consult mainly for the British government across the civil service but am a man with a purpose driven, spiritually I keep emphasizing that and everything I do, I tried to the best of my ability to be led by God in me because I believe I am God as well because He has made it clear that He created us in His image and His likeness.
So I hope I’ve been able to say who I am?
Q….
Your organization, The True Nigerian Worldwide Organization, what is it all about?
A..
So when we’re going on holiday, I tell them to choose a destination they want to go and I get bored easily and am hyperactive so I can’t stay in one city for two weeks. I always plan my holidays to be two cities in two different countries close by we decided we are gonna have the holidays in Germany but my son and nephew chose the destination because of the educational
When we were at the site of the Berlin wall, we saw images of the wall that that differentiate the west and the east and the west was the rich part while east was a communist which is not doing well economically.
And the spirit spoke to me at that site to say can you imagine this people in their time had this wall as a barrier to why they could not prosper. It’s the same thing with our people that is stoping them from prosperity. So they need an NGO, Charity organisation. God make me understand that it is unlike the Germans who have a barrier. Ours was a spiritual barrier and it is important that I let people understand what spiritual barrier means that is stopping us from attaining what God has promised for life
One day during that same holiday, I sat down during my breakfast and the name Truelove Nigeria. Truelove Nigerian is were we are going to stop being Nigerian but being a Nigerian in truth.
Apart from the spiritual pact we want to do, we also want to go in to the community because there is so much poverty and poverty has being recognized by our leaders.
So, a lot of government do this to help the local people in the nation where the NGOs is established. On my own note, I can boast that in the last ten years, nobody has put a dime in my organization, it’s been fully and fully sponsored by me.
All the good things we do in terms of sponsoring people on educational attainment from primary to secondary schools straight to the university level, paying medical bills for the people, facilitating social grants for entrepreneurs so that they can create jobs. On my social media page, we share some other things we do and people who have become beneficiaries of it. I have to be very careful in how much information I give in case the beneficiaries are not happy for me to do that. I approach people as my spirit led. People don’t come to us, people come through people. Because we saw the good work you are doing and there is spirit of God in me. People out there recommend people to us and we take on board.
When I came into Nigeria, I met a kid who has never read before for a long time. When this kid was brought to us, he could barely speak English. He could neither read nor write. We need to take him to primary school.
Everyone thought I was going to be a medical doctor
Actually I did trained to be a medical doctor for a while at the University of Ibadan before I migrated to overseas where I was supposed to continue medical school but I didn’t in overseas because the spirit of God told me that that was not what He wants for me. The spirit of God guided me to do what am doing now and thank God am excelling in what I do which is another advise I will give to parents. Don’t push your kids to do what you want them to do. God has given every human being a talent. Help your child discover the talent because when they do God talent, they will always excel. The will be able to prosper and glorify God with whatever talent He’s given them.
So, going back to the question, we both have physical and spiritual beings but the problem is, we don’t relate with our spiritual beings enough or we don’t understand how we should relate with our spiritual being. So this is why I do spirituality and that’s because I understand that the spirit manifest the physical and I understand how the spirit manifest the physical. So, when you have a strong relationship with your spirit being, you cannot be controlled by another spirit being. In truth, the physical being that we have is a vessel is somebody else’s physical being because we die and we go to dust and we come back from the dust. You see, and that’s why everyone has a lookalike on this planet because they are picked in the same dust which is what the scientists explained in science which is physical evidence that no two persons have the same DNA because we’re picked up from different dusts. We can look alike but not the sane DNA. So, when scientists talk about DNA, they are talking about dust which is the physical evidence they see in their microscope. The way I understand things, a lot of people don’t understand that way
So that’s why I don’t do religion. Religion is what man has created for you to understand God which am not totally in agreement with. It should be a medium like a tool for the application of how those tools are used. I don’t believe in people being guided. I believe more in people being supported to understand how you should relate with the God in you. No guidance, I choose to be a Christian and I will always say this to my friends because Christianity is the only thing that gives me the freewill to choose because that’s what God truly intended for man. From Genesis to every aspect of the Holy Book, God gave us freewill to choose. He did not prescribe for us
We make our choices and that is what is going to determine how our relationship is.
Q,,..
In most churches today, most pastors preach about prosperity and everybody is being focused on it, what would you say about this?
That’s very interesting, when I was flying in from Abuja where I spent seven days, strangely enough I sat down with a pastor next to me and just to get the conversation going on like most passengers do. He asked me what do I do and I told him, I was a financial consultant and he was like oh where and I told him UK and I said you, what do you do and he said am a pastor. For me, I don’t think a pastor should be an occupation. But like you rightly said, it is the way it is. A pastor is a service not an occupation. It’s a spiritual calling and most people don’t understand the difference between spiritual and physical. Answering your question, they preach prosperity of the body that’s what the pastor made me understand that today’s pastor focus on prosperity of the spirit, prosperity of the soul, prosperity of the body and I said to him that’s where the problem is.
Prosperity of the body should not be one of the things you should preach about and this is why a lot of people are focused on physicality rather than spirituality and as far as people focus on physicality, they are going to be easily manipulated by the physical being in them which is that little voice of that evil spirit as long resting in peace that they hear all the time.
Q…
Do you intend to go into politics?
Oh no no no no!!! Don’t go there. For the first time, am not going to answer that question. There is a purpose
I know what the bigger picture is and am not ready to share that. For now, I want to focus on the initial purpose to take our country from where it’s currently is. This country is sitting underneath a cloud of darkness
Until we all have one truth which is our vision for us to bring light and move darkness away.
Did you sign up to the 1999 constitution, was there a referendum that says that the people of Nigeria signed up to that constitution that they are living under today, no. I blame all the so called senior advocates of Nigeria, all the so called legal people who allow this to stand. They should have told the military dictator who brought it upon us to say no, this is not a truthful document and the so called religious leaders who know the impact of the truth but they choose to live in denial that that document is not the truth. The truth is our light and like I said to you in our earlier conversation, the light should be our guide. We don’t have it in this country
So, any president that swore underneath that constitution without making a promise to the Nigerian people that the first thing he’s going to do is to work towards getting a new constitution is not gonna succeed. That’s the one truth I talked about and none of these politicians are seeing that because they are not of light. I don’t care, they can listen to this, they can read but they know what the reality is. The truth is, that constitution is not what the Nigerian people wanted. They didn’t subscribe to it. There was a referendum and over 50 percent of Nigerians subscribe to it.
Can you imagine what that does to us. This is not the foundation. The foundation our problem is 1960. The truth was not being said as to why this country is in darkness. People are selfish, selfishness is an evil thing. People are self centered, it’s all about power. It’s not about the people. The first coup, our leaders were killed. Some of them we don’t even know where their body is. In that coup, we had a constitution which Nigerians at least subscribed to which was working until the military boys came through. They killed our leaders heartlessly
Some family members do not have the bodies to give a befitting burial. They are not resting in peace, you see where the foundation started. Move on to that about two million people killed during the civil war. No one has accounted for that and as at today as we speak, many people are dying on daily basis and they are all buried together in Borno, all over. There’s blood in our hand against the people. We haven’t spoken our own truth as to how we help these people get peace, so they let us live in peace.
We can’t have a new Nigeria without having one truth, so if you’re talking about new Nigeria and you’re not talking about one truth you’re joking. God brought us together for a purpose.
First and foremost am a very optimistic person. I urge our people not to give up. What we sow is what we’re gonna reap. Am happy to make the sacrifice even if it means losing my money for this country to be great. And if every person out there can be prepared to make a sacrifice, not necessarily sacrifice with their lives, this country will be the greatest country.
Like I said to my good brother and friend, the Ooni of Ife, that creation started from somewhere in Nigeria. That’s my spiritual believe of course you go to my blog and study about the garden of Eden, the four rivers. How our River Niger is part of the four rivers. Let me tell you one thing, death isn’t coming for you if you haven’t finished its work. If it has a purpose for you, it will not call you home.
Q…
Your opinion on 2023 elections?
2023 people need to make a choice and the choice is going to be tough for the people. One of the things l have always done is how I connect with the God in me is simply this, ask all the questions you can about all of your candidates. Every question underneath this sky, ask it to yourself and go and seek the answers. Don’t be guided by anyone but yourself. When you ask questions, you get knowledge, when you get knowledge, the spirit of God in you will use the wisdom He has given you to understand truth in that knowledge.
So when you understand the truth in each of those knowledge, it will make a light. That truth becomes your light and that light becomes your guide. You will now embrace your conscious being and the state of your consciousness is a spiritual state which will connect with the God in you. That light is an absolute truth and when it becomes an absolute truth, that means you are connected with your God. That is the 360 feedback you need to have. This is the process I want every Nigeria person to apply when making decisions. If you can go through this process in this order, am sure without any shadow of doubt, we would elect the right leader and that person will now become the voice of the people, the voice of God.
