Prophet Ireti Ajanaku, late spiritual leader of Christ Victory Chapel International seems to have become more popular after his death.
There were claims that the popular gospel singer, Tope Alabi's spiritual estranged father was a cult member but it does not end there as another shocking revelation has surfaced on the late Prophet Ireti Ajanaku.
One of his close aides who worked for him for five years, Emmanuel Olasemeji who is a furniture maker, opened up to Encomium Weekly on Wednesday, September 18, 2013, on the late Prophet he knew.
Excerpts
How did you become one of late Prophet Ajanaku’s aides?
The first day I saw him, I was not attracted to him because of his physical look. He bleached. However, when my boss who was one of his church members introduced me to him, he prayed for me. My decision to visit his church was based on curiosity. That was in 2007. Sincerely, there is no way you won’t marvel at his preaching. He preached with persuasive and authoritative words.
I was wowed. And that was when he was about completing his multi-million naira mansion. And most of the church members volunteered to assist the builders. He asked me to work for God in his house and do the furniture. I can’t lie to you, when Prophet Ajanaku spoke, you would think it was God. His church members saw him as god. He often told us that he wines and dines with God and that if he wants anybody to die tomorrow, it would happen. We all respected and feared him. You dare not say no to his request.
He said he had the power to save someone from ultimate death. My decision to open up was not to malign his character but be factual. Even before his death, I confessed this feat openly to him. I can’t doubt his power but not as a Christian.
For instance, someone came to see him. He said some people predicted he was going to die at a certain date. Thus, he was warned not to go out. Prophet Ajanaku closed his eyes for a minute and the next moment said the man should go out that day that nothing would happen to him. And nothing happened to him indeed.
I can say that though he was very powerful but his lifestyle and character were questionable.
How many months did you work in his house?
I stayed inside his house for nine months to complete the whole job. The reason was that most of the job was done at night. He won’t allow you to work on the upper parts of the house during day time until he gave you the nod. And mostly at night. If you complained that it would disturb people staying with him, he would say as the owner, all I needed was his approval.
How would you describe him?
Although he wielded spiritual power but he was not a man of God. The bubble burst some years back when one of his personal aides, Mr. Adefeso traveled with him to South Africa on a missionary assignment. The aide is quite educated. He is an elderly person. That was in November 2010. And there is one thing about prophet, whenever he is angry with anybody, he would tell the church members that God is angry with such person and that anybody that relates with such a person would incur the wrath of God.
Thus, once you incur his wrath, the whole church would stop greeting you.
Before they traveled to South Africa, there was an issue on ground. He was renovating the church. He engaged the services of one of his church members who sold woods and planks to supply the church.
I supervised the project and it was N750,000. He was to pay after the project. After the project, he refused to pay. And the member knew it wrecked his small business. It became an issue and it was his personal aide, Mr. Adefeso who waded in and said prophet would pay. That was when they travelled to South Africa. When they got back, we discovered they had an issue.
The aide claimed he discovered some of his secrets while on the trip but till date refused to disclose them.
However, when prophet came back, he quickly started telling us the man was evil, that we should excommunicate him. I know him well, once he knew you had discovered some of his negative acts, he would blackmail you with lies. That was the same thing he did for Tope Alabi.
What are the things you discovered about him?
First, he is a chronic liar. Do you know that the money he owed he never paid back? The matter was taken to the police at Panti and he denied owing the man. He said he has paid him. I was shocked. They called me as a witness. Though I was scared but I stood for the truth. He spent over N500,000 to settle the case. And at the end we even became the victim. He specialized in turning the tide against people who speak the truth.
He would fabricate lies against such person. And the medium he used most was a soft-sell magazine. Second, I can tell you authoritatively that he sleeps with his female aides who stay in his house. He has agents who recruit ladies in the church who are not employed.
They used their situation to entice them to work and live with the prophet. And some only live with him for like three months before he would fabricate lies against them and send them parking. But none of them could disclose their ordeal because he was a god.
But what about his wife?
His wife, Joy, was staying in the upper room. She only comes down during church services. That’s why most people don’t really know anything about her. She dare not come down unless he gave approval.
We only discovered the truth when one of the ladies who was also the wife’s aide known as Becky confessed to a pastor in Abuja that he was sleeping with her. She was dating a friend of mine who was also staying in his house.
The house is so big and many of us lived with him. My friend and Becky travelled to Abuja and he introduced her to a pastor in Abuja. That one now said Becky has a secret and unless she revealed it, it would affect their relationship. It took her four days to open up that she has been sleeping with late Ajanaku. She was scared she would die after the confession but with prayer in Abuja, nothing happened to her. Although we were suspicious but she gave us instances which we were aware of and revealed how other girls too were his sex slaves.
Also, most of his members go to the church with their wealth but left poor. He was very rich. He swindled them of their wealth and virtues.
Though we have never seen him with charm before but he often told us he knows about all incantations because he had been into all sorts of occultism before he started his ministry.
He said they are all powerless compared to God’s power. He is a pretender. Once he was about to discard his enemies, he would say negative things about them and since we were not privileged to see or hear from God, we believed him. That’s what he used on those girls too. He bleached and encouraged the girls too to use the cream. I had to leave in 2011. I spent five years with him.
Is it true that he once had a wife?
Yes. It’s no secret that he had a wife and two kids who died before he started the ministry. Aside that, he had a baby out of wedlock, but he rejected the mother.
What’s the woman’s name?
I don’t know because he was even the one who revealed it to us when the mother came to collect the boy’s allowance of N20,000. Only few aides knew. I was so close to him because I worked for him.
He had four rooms in that house which are exclusively his own. He had a particular room that if he was there for three months you won’t know.
The ministry’s spokesperson, Tosin, was contacted over some of these allegations but he declined to make any comment. “Please, I have nothing to say.”

My love story
Add caption |
Once upon a time, in an island there lived six feelings and emotions: Happiness, Knowledge, Love, Sadness, Richness and Vanity. One day they discovered that the island began sinking! So all of them built boats and canoes and left, one by one. Except for Love. Love wanted to delay abandoning her beloved island as long as possible.
When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a boat. Love asked, “Richness, can you take me with you?”
Richness answered, “Sorry, Love, I can’t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat, so there is no place here for you. With both of us in here we will sink for sure.”
Love next asked Vanity who was also sailing by, but Vanity offered the same answer.
“I can’t help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat,” Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by, so Love asked, “Sadness, take me along with you.”
“Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!”, sadness said in a gloomy voice.
Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so preoccupied with her happiness that she did not even hear when Love called her.
Suddenly, there was a voice, “Come, Love, I will take you.”
It was an elder with a tattered head scarf. An overjoyed Love jumped into the boat. When they arrived at a dry land, the elder went her own way.
Love looked around and saw the Knowledge who was the first to have landed there a while ago.
“Who Helped me?” Love asked.
“It was Time,” Knowledge answered.
“Time? Why time?” Love was surprised.
“Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is.” The Knowledge smiled.

"To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides."
Two lovers sat on a park bench, with their bodies touching each other, holding hands in the moonlight.
There was silence between them. So profound was their love for each other, they needed no words to express it. And so they sat in silence, on a park bench, with their bodies touching, holding hands in the moonlight. Finally she spoke. "Do you love me, John?" she asked. "You know I love you, darling," he replied. "I love you more than tongue can tell. You are the light of my life, my sun, moon and stars. You are my everything. Without you I have no reason for being." Again there was silence as the two lovers sat on a park bench, their bodies touching, holding hands in the moonlight. Once more she spoke. "How much do you love me, John?" she asked. He answered: "How much do I love you? Count the stars in the sky. Measure the waters of the oceans with a teaspoon. Number the grains of sand on the sea shore." "Impossible, you say? Yes, and it is just as impossible for me to say how much I love you. My love for you is higher than the heavens, deeper than Hades, and broader than the earth. It has no limits, no bounds. Everything must have an ending except my love for you." There was more of silence as the two lovers sat on a park bench with their bodies touching, holding hands in the moonlight.

CARELESS NIGHT
Careless Night by seyi paul
Burning rays of the sun shine through the window and take its raft on me. My eyes hurt, my head is pounding, and my body aches.
What the fuck happened last night?
Peeking open my eyes I try to get used to the light, but it's too harsh on my fragile eyes.
I move my hand around in search of something to shield me from the attack of the light. I finally latch my hand on a pillow and hold it up blocking the sun from my view.
I blink a couple of time to adjust my eyes to my surroundings.
Where am I?
The last thing I recall was me and Kate going out for a couple of drinks now I am in a big place, laying on a couch, with what I'm pretty sure is a hangover, even though I've never had one.
Moving the pillow a bit I look around some more and find a very drunk man on the floor. Looking back down to me, I see I am in nothing but a big shirt.
Shit, shit, shit.
I quickly dash up, not minding my headache and throw a pillow at the man. With a grunt he looks up at me and sits up clutching his head on his hands.
"Fuck! I haven't has a hangover since I was a teenager." His looks don't faze me right now, since my mind is flustered on whether or not I'm a virgin and why I can't remember.
"No time for this Charlie." His head shoots up and his jaw tightens.
"It's Christian, Anastasia." He says my name hinting at least he remember my name. Big woop, who gives a shit right now.
"I could care less right now. All I know is I am in what I think is your shirt, and I'm in what I think is your house, with a shirtless you and we both have hangovers." I say exasperated.
He runs his hands through his hair, and I catch sight of his ring finger, which has a ring on it.
"Great, and your fucking married. What the fuck is wrong with you?"
His eyes widen in shock as he checks his ring finger. He suddenly stands up right and looks between me and the ring with utter disbelief.
"I'm Not…" he fades off still in shock.
"Oh yea your not married. It's pretty damn late to lie now." I say annoyed.
I mirror his acting by running my hand through my hair, only to feel something cold rub against my forehead and hair.
Curiosity takes over as I check my hand. My mouth hanging slightly, my lungs begging for air, my eyes widen with shock.
I stare at the two rings on my fingers.
This got so much more attention than i'd ever IMAGINE it get. For that I am deeply happy, so as requested by many here is a second chapter. Please review.
SONGS:
Fallout- Sofi Blonde
That's not my name- The ting Ting's
"Married?!" I start to pasting around the room my hand going to my forehead and occasionally staring at the ring.
In what amazement, awe, disbelief?
"How could I let this happened? I'm Anastasia Steele, I'm the goody goody, the responsible and mature one not the carless one who makes reckless mistakes like this!"
"Thanks." Christian mutters, hands shoveling back his hair, as he pastes with me.
"I mean I'm in college, I have a boyfriend, not to mention I don't even know you Charlie."
"Christian." He mutters, but I'm too engulfed in my own thoughts to even acknowledge him at the moment.
"Oh fuck! What is Jose going to think about me now! I'm done he's never going to talk to me, Not only will I be losing a boyfriend but a friend. Fucking Great. I have my exams tomorrow, me and Jose's Anniversary is tomorrow as well, but no I have a fucking husband, god Chuck you really are messing up my life!"
"Christian!" Now I know he is full on glaring at me. Boo-Hoo!
Both of my hands are pulling my hair back at this point, staring into space trying to come up with some sort of get out of jail plan.
My attention goes back to the ring as the sunlight hits it. The diamonds are angled directly in the sun and for a moment I'm lost in how beautiful it is.
"God what's worse the ring is beautiful. Now not only will he be upset for the fact that his GIRLFRIEND fits the fucking Vegas stereo types, of getting married to someone you barley know, not to mention he didn't even want me to go in the first place, and now I have this big beautiful ring, Jose is going to be so jealous god fuck Charles, I mean why did we have to…"
Two arms pull me out of my blabbering… hey it's Charles.
"Chris…. Tian… Okay? My name is Chris-tian." Hey says annunciating the words clearly, his arms keeping their hold on my arms.
"Now please stop over thinking things, and just clam down for a second. I need to think, I Need a clear head, I need to be in fucking control, which I'm clearly not so could you do me that favor and just… Calm- down?" He says, his voice booming with authority.
My eyes are wide; I'm shocked all I am able to do is nod. Go he's all so controlling and demanding. That's hot.
Out gaze's are detached from each other as we see something pass from the corner of our eyes.
Fucking. Goat.
You have got to be kidding me?
"Oh fucking lord. You see I'm not in control. I let my guard down for a day, a fucking day and all this shit happened."
He breaks his hold on me and starts to paste, his hands claim there spot back in his hair, close to being bald at this rate. But me my eyes are staring at the goat, who doesn't look friendly.
"How the fuck does a fucking goat get in the fucking apartment?" He is pasting shouting out things, completely ignoring the obvious that there's really a goat.
My gaze goes to the goat's foot, which looks just about ready to lunge.
"Umm… Christian….."
More blabbering. Damn talk about switching roles.
"Christian…" I say again taking a step back.
More talking.
"CHRISTIAN!" I yell running missing the attack as the goat runs to me.
I make it to the other side of the island, but not Christian. His attention is now on the goat as he changes his stance to his feet apart and his arms stretched out on either side trying to find a way out.
"Fuck… What do I do?" He says eyeing the goat who is just staring at Christian, almost as if saying "Gu- head try and run bitch, ima get you."
Yea not the best look.
I'm now prepped on the counter of the island to get a better view.
"Umm I don't know try to go around." I say on my knees, the cold counter pressing into my knee caps as the shirt rides up to my thighs.
Christian stands up straight and looks at me with an "Are you kidding me," look.
"You don't think I was trying to do that?"
"Don't get off guard, there is a killer goat trying to kill you Charles you should be scared!"
"CHRISTIAN," He shouts," And too fucking bad this is my house so this little fucker needs to listen to me." Christian stands up straight challenging the goat.
For a second I thought his demand worked…. Until the fucker pounced on Christian.
I'm on the edge of the counter trying to get a better view, my nails in my mouth as I stare at the whole fight.
Christian pivots and tries to run only to have the goat chase after him.
"Oh god. Be careful. Christian run…. Faster…. Oh lord please be careful."
"Thanks for the advice." He shouts dodging the beast.
God why is this little animal so pissed?
Christian throws a pillow which slows it down just in time to jump on the counter with me.
"He lays his head back and holds his chest breathing in and out, as I pounce place my hand on his knee.
"You made it." I say smiling.
"Yup… To the counter… Where we have no phones or no way of communicating for help.. say anial control…. Great." Christian says closing his eyes for a brief second.
I sit back and hold my knees to me as I lay my chin on my knees. Then suddenly Christians eyes dart open as if something dawned on him.
"Where… Where is it?" He says curiously, glancing around.
I join him and turn my head searching for the goat until I spot him.
"Ummm… found him." I say pointing to the leather couch where the goat's leg is lifted as he releases himself.
Christian averts his gaze to where I pointed and frowns.
"Aww come on not on the couch…." He runs his hands through his hair as he contemplates getting off the counter and physically removing the goat.
I let out a giggle and stop myself when I see him turn to me. I cover my mouth quickly with my hands but the look on his face and the overall situation just provokes my laugh. I let out an unstoppable hearty laugh, at make light of the situation.
I was too engrossed in my laughing that I didn't notice when Christian slowly built up to laughing like me, first with a smirk and shake of his head, then with a chuckle only to join me.
I'm pretty sure he's just laughing at how crazy I must seem, clutching my stomach, tears falling out of the corners of my eyes, my face red. After a while it subsides and I sigh loudly.
"Ahhh…. God that was funny." I sit up with a smile on my face and brush my hair out of my face.
I look to Christian to see him smiling and laying on his back.
"I'm glad you had a good laugh Mrs. Grey." He says playfully causing me to giggle.
"Very funny… God Is it that bad that we don't even remember how we got married? When I pictured my first time getting married I actually wanted to be in a committed relationship first, and have fun planning the wedding, and actually remembering it. I don't even want to know how this happened, god what if it we made fools of ourselves." I cover my face in embarrassment, and shake my head.
"Hey listen I'm sure there is some way of us finding out how this came about. Our friends must know something, if not there are cameras all over the place, we should be able to find out something. Plus my security…. HUH," He gasps loudly," TAYLOR!"
Christians sits on his knees and looks excited, as I frown and look where he is looking. In walks a big black man, Buzz cut, black shades, in a tailored suit, arms folded in front of him.
"Yes sir…. What the fuck!? Umm sorry sir. SAWYER!"
I now kneel in the same position as Christian and watch the man. Soon enough another man comes along, looking like a replica of the other, only with white skin and blonde hair. As I kneel I see Christian's attention go to me and look at me with a look that is foreign to me. I shake it off quickly and watch the scene playing out in front of me.
"Yea Tay….. THE FUCK IS THAT?! OH Mr. Grey sorry." Taylor lances as sawyer and they both look around contemplating how to go about with the situation.
Yet again I suppress a laugh knowing it wouldn't be appropriate. Why am I even laughing so hard in this predicament? The situation is really bad but it's so bad that is funny, well at least to me a girl who laughs about almost anything.
Glancing around I spot a big unopened box that is taped. JACKPOT! Sliding off of the counter making sure to go unnoticed by the goat I quickly grab a knife off the counter and run to the box.
"Anastasia what are you doing?" Christian almost yells, veins straining his neck.
He quickly jumps off the counter catching the attention of the goat… Great job.
"I WAS trying to get off unnoticed by the goat, hoping to make it alive out of here, but you ruined that. I sugest you run Christian." I say.
"WAIT! Don't open the box Ana….." I frown at him shaking my head and open the box quickly.
In the box I see something definitely strange and unnoticed. Whips, and paddles folded neatly in bubble wrap. What the hell? I risk a glance at Christian his face impassive with a hint of nervousness.
I don't have time to read into it as we have a wild beast running around, besides maybe it's a Halloween costume seeing as how Halloween is coming up. But then again he really doesn't look like the one to celebrate Halloween. Oh god not now Ana, focus. Quickly I run to the beast trapping it in the box, as I sit on top of it, as it bounces and wiggles furiously. Everyone looks at me, relief etched on their face, clearly not noticing the fact that I'm struggling to keep the box closed.
"Umm guys… A little help hear please…" I say quickly the guards snap out of it, as they come to me.
"I already called animal control; now let's drag this bad boy to the office, get him in something more secure." Taylor says, they nod at Christian before going off.
I look at Christian and smile.
"Look about the package…" He looks uncomfortable so I take mercy on him.
"Not even any of my business. You don't need to explain yourself to me Christian, don't worry about it."
He looks taken aback, but then again his face returns impassive. God damnit if I weren't so good at reading people, I wouldn't be able to read any emotion on this man.
"SO.." He says running his hand in his hair, and glancing around.
"About this situation we need to …" Suddenly his interrupted by the man.. Taylor I think it was.
"Mr. Grey Mia is here. What do…" Now he is interrupted. Jesus Christ, manners people.
"CHRISTIAN!" A loud shriek comes, followed by a very cute bubbly woman.
"God, I never get to see you again, your making me really doubt your love for me."
OH shit. Is this his girlfriend? But surely he would have told me right? But then again we never even had time to discuss this with almost getting killed and all. Damn!
I fiddle with my thumbs nervously, and stare down. Then I remember my attire. Great.
"And…. What… Who's this?" She says looking from me to Christian, while a smile pulls on her face.
A smile?
"Anastasia this is my sister Mia." PHEW!
I run my hand through my hair relief filling me, as I blow out a breath.
"Mia this is…" He gets interrupted by another loud shriek.
"OH… MY… GOD!?" She says gawking at me. What?
Suddenly I feel the coldness on my forehead again… Fuck… The ring!
The girl suddenly runs over to me grabbing my hand, then glances at Christian and grabs his hand….
"MARRIED! OMG!"
Why didn't I remember this ring shines like the fucking sun?! Christian looks shocked, and out of words.
"Mia.. I." He says but gets interrupted again.
"OMG! We totally thought you were gay. You never brought home a girl, let alone a girlfriend, but a WIFE? When was she your fiancé, or girlfriend? Oh my god I'm so happy for you."
"But.. Mia.. she.." He attempts to explain but yet again she keeps on.
"Not to mention that she is beautiful, god Christian. And why weren't we told of this wedding? That's very hurtful."
Christian opens his mouth to speak until she says something that stops him in his tracks.
"Mom is going to be so happy, Christian. She really was worried about you, and wanted you to find love, but I see you've already found it, with someone as beautiful as her." Her words have slowed down and she sounds sincere. She squeezes are hands and stares at us lovingly.
I peek a glance at Christian to see his face set in a line; he looks like he's in a fucking rut. Mia's eyes get teary as she wipes it away and smiles.
"Okay now I'm going to go before I get all tear eyed. I'd advise you go to the house this afternoon and bring your WIFE with you. Be prepared from some serious ass whooping from our mother, Christian. See you tonight; it was nice meeting you Anastasia." With one last smile she leaves us to bask in the awkwardness.
"Christian ..I."
"Not your fault Ana."He says still staring at the vacant spot Mia was occupying.
"This is going to be much harder to end then we thought." I murmur.
