How I stopped T.B. Joshua’s ambition of becoming a Photographer—Late Prophet Wole Bamiduro, Man who discovered T.B. Joshua | Reveals how TB Joshua got his mysterious power

Prophet Wole Bamiduro to Asabeafrika…’I got the gift to cure mad people from my prophetic group in Celestial Church’

In this last episode of a red
exclusive encounter Africa’s Number 1 Celebrity Encounter blog, Asabeafrika had with renowned Prophet Doctor Jacob Oluwole Bamiduro, founder of Lion of Judah Church of Christ, Ahmaddiyya-Ojokoro-Lagos weeks before
his sudden death on Monday January 4, 2016 in his sleep, the great Ikare-Akoko-Ondo State– South West Nigeria born prophet and Church leader told this
blog the story of how he discovered and raised the now famous and globally
recognized Prophet Temitope Balogun
Joshua
of Synagogue Church of all
Nations
(SCOAN) in his early days. Even though there had been subtle
efforts by the media department of SCOAN to dispel facts that Prophet Wole Bamiduro discovered and at
a time raised Prophet TB Joshua, the
last interview by Prophet Bamiduro  in his life time is standing as a compelling
fact that indeed, Prophet TB Joshua
passed through the tutelage of Prophet
Wole Bamiduro
aka Founder who died on the first Monday of year 2016 at age
62.

Prophet Bamiduro who predicted his own death in his last sermon of Sunday January 3rd
2016 before he passed away around 7 am on Monday 4th after conducing
an early morning mass in his church, gave strong warnings to his family not to
either take his body to a mortuary or burry him with a casket. He equally
warned that on no account should his body be taken home to Ikare-Akoko for burial. He was buried in front of his Lagos
cathedral on Friday January 8 at No 5/7, Wole
Bamiduro
Street by Ahmaddiyya,
Ojokoro
off Lagos-Abeokuta Express Road after a funeral service organized
in his honor by the Christian
Association of
Nigeria (CAN) Ojokoro-Ijaiye division.
This is what can be termed his very
last interview on earth. Enjoy!

Late Prophet Wole Bamiduro on a One-on-One with the GDA in his lifetime

Sir, let’s go to the heart of the
matter, we actually came here knowing your pedigree as a great prophet of God.
But the big story is that you are the man who discovered Prophet Temitope
Balogun Joshua of Synagogue Church of All Nations and that he actually birthed
here in this church immediately he left Arigidi, Ondo state before he got his
calling? Can you expatiate on this rumor?
Well, when
you kept coming here to ask for the interview and made mention of the issue of
the person you just mentioned his name, I tried to see how I could correct your
notion on some issues you raised in your questionnaire. And I think I will just
do that right away, I am really from Ondo
state, I am from Ikare, the boy (TB Joshua) is from Arigidi. We are family
friend right from the beginning. Nobody can give power to another person; power
is directly from God. God gives power and authority to his people. You can see
now that he (TB Joshua) has a lot of people working with him, he has both the
whites and Caucasians working for him; it is the power of God. God
discovers his people; no man in this world can discover anybody. Even you can
not discover your own child talk-less of discovering another person and say
‘oh, this man is going to be a great prophet or someone with influence etc’, or
that you are the one that gave this person power to do miracles and achieve
fame. You that you are saying it, can you look at yourself first? 

“I am a brother to him, he is a
brother to me I know him very well. He is very useful to me I am very useful to
him. Now, that he is a famous man of God, people are saying ‘he is the one that
discovered him, he is the one that gave him that power’, no it is God that gave
him power not me”.

Look at the
generosity of God upon your life as well; for him (TB Joshua) to have gotten
his power, do you know how many days he suffered?  Do you know how many things that have
happened to his life? He is not from a rich home but Temitope Joshua discovered himself and God ordained him. I am a
brother to him, he is a brother to me I know him very well. He is very useful
to me I am very useful to him. Now, that he is a famous man of God, people are
saying ‘he is the one that discovered him, he is the one that gave him that
power’, no it is God that gave him power not me. He and his brother (Segun)
were all with me, we are a family of Godly people with the gift of prophecy.
So, to see him as a successful pastor in Nigeria today is the act of God. I can’t
even call him a Pastor, to me, I can’t call Temitope, a pastor he is a Prophet.

Prophet Wole Bamiduro to Asabeafrika…’I cant lay claim to TB Joshua’s glory in leadership even though he passed through me’

Why TB Joshua is very powerful
Not only Temitope Balogun left your
church and became great, we learnt many great prophets like F.E Bamiduro of
Iye Ni Oro Naa and even Evangelist Akin Adebayo
famously known as Imole Ayo were said
to have left your church before they became great. Why do you think TB Joshua’s
own is extra-ordinary among the lot?
Well, Temitope Joshua is a call. He is a
called Prophet, not a pastor. He is a called prophet. When he was young, there
were lots of bad things that happened to him that supposed to have taken his
life but he didn’t die. Even when a stone fell from the rooftop of his mother’s
house as a result of a raging storm and fell on baby Joshua, he didn’t die. In
stead for the heavy stone to fall directly on him, it fell beside him. That is
why I said he has been called from the womb, just like God told Prophet
Jeremiah ‘I knew thee when your mother conceived thee’. ‘Olorun ti pee lati kekere,
Olorun kii peyan ti baba e lowo o. Kii de pe eyan ti Baba e je
millionaire o. Awon Omo atapa dide ni olorun
ma npe
(God has anointed him from a baby; God does not call the child of
the rich, he is not interested in the child of a millionaire, he will rather
call the child of a pauper and send him on a glorious errand). You can see that
today in Nigeria, it is God that called TB
Joshua
, no pastor called him, no prophet called him. That I know him or he
knew me does not mean that I gave him power. 
Do you understand? Of course there are many people that have stayed her
under my tutelage, why didn’t they become like Tope? There are lots of people that went through this place, why
are they not like him?. Even among his siblings, who is like him? He is the one
God called and I am learning a lot of lessons from his own idea and principle
because he didn’t allow people to stray into his calling. If he allows a man to
stray into his calling, man will destroy his calling. I hope you understand
what I am telling you? He is using his own calling and anointing, not the
calling or anointing of Wole Bamiduro.
Wole Bamiduro’s call is unique; TB Joshua’s call is unique. Even one of
his senior brothers built a Celestial church, his call is equally different.
T.B. Joahua

Late Prophet Wole Bamiduro to Asabeafrika…’Today’s Pastors & Bishops have stopped giving hope to the hopeless’

What is his senior brother’s name?
Segun. So, TB Joshua’s call is unique. God has said ‘this boy, at a particular
time, he will grow and become big in spirit and he will use his spiritual gift
to deliver mankind from evil. That he will feed nations; and today TB Joshua is
feeding nations, I hope you know that as a journalist. He will share Rice,
share money and give out to legions of people. He will travel to nations and
bless them with numerous things. At least we have some Pastors who used their
own offerings to build schools, build universities and after building it, they
made admission for the poor very difficult but TB Joshua didn’t do that. He will give his money to the poor, give
them food, and give scholarship to children of the poor. He has legion of
ordinary children studying at Universities across the country right now. But
you that couldn’t cater for the children of the poor and even went to the
extent of using free offerings to build schools that ordinary people including
your members can not afford, they are many. And that is why they hate Temitope Joshua.   

“Very meek person, there was a time
he brought a camera here and said to me ‘Daddy, I want to learn to be a camera
man’. He brought the camera from Egbe
and I took the camera off him. I knew then as a prophet, that in future God is
going to use him”.
Prophet Wole Bamiduro to Asabeafrika…’It is only God that can give someone power not a mortal’

And they will continue to hate him; the
reason why they will never love Temitope
Joshua is first of all, Temitope Joshua is an iron man that
lives with the truth and the faith in God. It is not education that took him to
that level, we have men of God who studied Ph-D,
masters and all sorts of academic certificate but TB Joshua is a master in the act of God. And there is no how you
and I will be in the same market, I am a veteran and you a novice and yet your
ware is moving than mine; I can never be happy with you. I will shout and say
‘ah, this man is selling ghost wares’, ‘he brings them from mortuary’. I will
de-market you just because my own ware is not moving again. Or how will you
have hundred churches in a particular area, and this new church came that
offers you gift of food, money and philanthropy at large, and you expect people
to keep going to other churches that take, take and take from their worshippers
but this one gives, not just spiritual value but other good things of life. If
you recall, when Jesus Christ was feeding the multitude, they asked him a
question, they said ‘Rabbi, when are you coming here again?’ So TB Joshua is doing the same thing, he
feeds them with both natural and spiritual food. That is the man in synagogue
for you. He is my good son; he is someone I am very familiar with. I am from
Ikare
, he is from Arigidi. Arigidi and Ikare
we are one. He is my very good brother and he can never deny our
acquaintance.  The truth of the matter is
that Akoko is noted for the birth of
great prophets. People like Oladunnni,
people like St. Moses Orimolade Tunolase.
People like Prophet Luke, people
like the man we are talking about, the man in the synagogue. We still have
many, many people from that lineage. People like us; we are from Ondo state,
Ikare-Akoko.

Prophet Wole Bamiduro to Asabeafrika…’I cant lay claim to giving TB Joshua his power but God did’

Prophet Wole Bamiduro to Asabeafrika…’I cant say i am the best Prophet in town but God gave me the gift of acurate Prophecy’

Why People call me “Eyin-Ejo”
(Snake’s Tooth)
You are famously called and addressed
as Eyin-Ejo (Snake’s teeth?), why do people call you that name? 
Well, the Eyin-Ejo
name came when I was young and in the Celestial
Church of
Christ fold. There was
someone that had mental challenge and we went to his place to pray for him. As
we were doing the prayer I had a vision for one of the relatives of the mad man
who is a driver, I said ‘Mr. Man go and pray very well if not you might be
involved in a fatal accident that will make your vehicle kill somebody’ but the
man took the prophecy for a joke. He didn’t pray on it. So, around 6am the next
day, the man used a trailer that he uses to ferry goods to the northern part of
the country to kill a man at Mongoro Bus
stop
, here in Lagos. And crowd burnt the trailer down, that was around 1977
or there about. So, when he ran down to the church he was shouting “Ah, mi o mo pe eyin ejo ni  bobo yi o; aaah, O lagbara o” (I didn’t know this boy is a snake teeth o, he
is so powerful o) and that was how the name struck. And then when I was in the Celestial Church many people were
running after me not for anything else but for accurate prophecy. I won’t say I
am a good prophet but God has given me the gift of hitting it on point. When
they come, they get accurate vision and that was how the name stood till date.
Now, it is about thirty something years ago and the name continue to ring.
There was a time I was very angry and was quarreling about the name, I didn’t
want people to call me by that name but later I just allowed it since there was
nothing I could do to stop them.

Why I don’t see TB Joshua Often
What is your relationship now with
Prophet Temitope Joshua, is it still cordial?
We are not
so cordial and again we are cordial. Why I said so is simple; he is a busy man,
I am a busy man. You know he is a very popular figure, if people see him come
here now, they might say he is coming here to take spiritual power. Not knowing
that we are family friends. I can come over to his place and greet him and he
is free to come to this place. But we are not having interaction as before. I
am sure it is because of his busy schedule. People will always talk; ‘won a ni Oga e ni lai mo pe Olorun loga’ (They will say I am his boss not knowing
that God is the ultimate boss). So, his schedule and mine schedule has not
permitted us to be too close. Of course I do call him at times, in most cases
he is busy, his aides will pick the call and I will just say let him be.

“We are not so cordial and again we
are cordial. Why I said so is simple; he is a busy man, I am a busy man. You
know he is a very popular figure, if people see him come here now, they might
say he is coming here to take spiritual power. Not knowing that we are family
friends. I can come over to his place and greet him and he is free to come to
this place”

Prophet
Wole Bamiduro to Asabeafrika…’I have raised a lot of Prophets and Men
of God but only God can explain why TB Joshua is extra-ordinary among
them all’

How I foiled TB Joshua’s ambition of
becoming a photographer.
When he was living here, how would
you describe his character, was he humble or arrogant?
Hmmmn! Tope arrogant? If he is here from morning
till evening, you can’t know he is there. Otutu!
O
quite! O gentle, gbogbo awon egbon
e naa lo ri
bee (he is meek, he
is quite, he is gentle. All his siblings are like that). They don’t fight, even
in those days when he comes from his sister in Egbe (Ikotun area of Lagos) to greet us here, he can sit here for
hours and you won’t even know he is around. Very meek person, there was a time
he brought a camera here and said to me ‘Daddy, I want to learn to be a camera
man’. He brought the camera from Egbe and I took the camera off him.
I knew then as a prophet, that in future God is going to use him. The only
thing was that I don’t know how God is going to use him but I was quite sure
that God was preparing him for something great but I didn’t know how it will
turn up. And how God is now using him is a very big surprise to many people
including myself. 

Prophet
Wole Bamiduro to Asabeafrika…’You cant determine the call of your own
child talkless of someone else. TB Joshua studied here but God ordained
him for exploits’

Yes, I heal mad people.
You are also revered for healing
lunatics, how did you come by the power, Is it also a calling?
I inherited
the gift. I was a member of the Celestial
Church of Christ
before; we had a group that always prays for mad people in
the night. Wherever these mad people are kept, we will go and pray for them but
we didn’t know that the power has been transferred unto us. So, when we
inherited the power, a time came when I started my own ministry and I will just
see people bringing in mad people. And I will take care of them and they will
be okay.  Nowadays, I don’t even chain
them again; if I just raise my hand, they will be okay. I will say ‘remove his
chain and let him or her in’ and the madness will leave them instantly.  Before, I had to chain them but now I just
need to say a word and the madness disappear. The numbers of mad people that
have received their miracles here are almost three hundred. And God manifest
Himself even if you have diabetes, stroke or hypertension and other ailments we
cure all here. I don’t believe in advertising what we do, instead the work will
advertise itself. If you look from Ahmadiyya Bus stop down here (Wole
Bamiduro Street) I don’t even have a Sign Board but the name is already known.
That is God for you. God is the chief Advertiser. So, it is not me that am
treating all the ailments but a spirit that has been assigned to me through the
manifestation of the Holy Spirit. It
is God that does everything and to Him we return all the glory.
