Female witchdoctor confesses in T.B Joshua’s
Synagogue
An article written by Ihechukwu Njoku, a
freelance Nigerian journalist has chronicled how
a 34-year-old female witch-doctor, Olipha Dube,
gave shocking confessions at the Synagogue
church of all nations.
Below is the report by Mr Njoku:
“This is the time to expose the kingdom of
darkness and what the devil is doing in so many
people’s lives by deceiving them to believe that
witchcraft, witchdoctors, herbalists and
traditional healers have a solution,” Dube
emphatically began after a clip showing her
‘deliverance’ was shown to church congregants.
. The clip showed the pastor praying for Dube,
upon which she violently reacted and an
uncanny voice spoke out through her,
identifying itself as ‘the great lion’. “I have
given her too many powers,” the ‘spirit’
confessed. “I make her do anything I send her.
I have given her wisdom to do what I want her
to do, to break people’s marriages, to break
homes. She is a witchdoctor.”
Olipha explained that her professional nursing
career inexplicably nosedived, prompting a friend
to advise her to seek ‘alternative’ help. Following
consultation at a herbalists home, the response
she received from her creepy counsellor was an
unexpected one. He told me I had a gift from the
ancestors and I was supposed to be a sangoma
myself,” she recalled. “I agreed. At that time, I
thought it was a solution.”
.After going to an ‘initiation school’, incisions
were strategically placed throughout her body
with several darkish substances known as
‘muti’ rubbed in so as to infuse with her blood.
“Those charms are to give you powers to see
what other people don’t see, powers to be able
to communicate with the spiritual world,” she
explained.
After starting her practice as a traditional healer,
the thirst for deeper knowledge and more
advanced powers spurred Olipha to pass through
another ‘initiation’. “I paid a lot of money and he
taught me how to use plants, herbs and trees – to
mix them with animal parts – to produce
whatever charms you wanted to,” she divulged.
. Olipha built an altar in her bedroom, as well as
erecting a house in her garden dedicated to paying
homage to her ‘ancestors’. “You would use that to
store your charms and for consultation,” she
explained. At this stage, her daily life literally
revolved around witchcraft. “Before I could speak
to anyone in the morning, I had to speak to the
ancestors at my altar… They would tell me how
my day was going to be like – the challenges I was
going to meet, the people that would come and see
me, the charms to use to be able to succeed
through the day.”
Dube said she had to maintain constant connection
with these ‘ancestors’. “I had powers in my eyes,
tongue and all over my body,” she told the
shocked congregation. . “If you take a look at
my body now, I have incisions everywhere,
even in my private parts.”
Revealing more about an increasingly common
complaint in churches today – having sexual
encounters in dreams – Olipha stated, “One of the
best ways to create a problem in a person’s life is
to get either a spiritual husband or a spiritual
wife. This was best done in a graveyard, the
former spiritualist sensationally told the stunned
crowd.
“If you wanted to raise a spiritual husband for a
woman, you would randomly select any male
grave, looking at the name of the tombstone.
Most importantly, you would have to buy this
spirit. I would tell the spirit – ‘As from today, you
are married to ‘so-and-so’. You are going to stay
with her and perform all the duties a husband
does to and for his wife.’ Soon afterwards, my
client would come to me and say, ‘I am very
happy – their life is in shambles. She lost her job.
Her husband left her.’ ”
However, despite touting herself as a ‘solution-
provider’ to others, Olipha was beset by crippling
financial challenges. “I lost my business and all
of my assets. I was very upset, bitter and angry
and decided it was time for me to find something
else but I had not made the decision to find God
because of the Christians that were also coming
to me for consultation. I saw all Christians as
fake. I went to a lot of other herbalists,
traditional healers and witchdoctors. Instead, my
situation got worse and worse until I lost
everything.”
Growing more desperate and steadily losing hope,
it was at this point that one of her ‘students’
directed her toward a Christian station called
Emmanuel TV. “I was shocked. I saw people
manifesting, talking about the very same things
we would do to other people. I saw Prophet T.B.
Joshua commanding the spirits to go out in one
word. I saw people with the same problem that I
had being helped and knew that this was where
my solution would come from.”
Resolving to visit The Synagogue, Church Of All
Nations (SCOAN) in Lagos, Nigeria, Olipha had a
dramatic experience when she was prayed for.
“As the prophet was approaching me, I felt this
big force that was blowing me. I felt something
deep inside my tummy shifting and shaking my
intestines in an uncontrollable way.” At this
point, Dube said a voice within her instructed her
to run as fast as possible away but something
inexplicably restricted her movement.
“I just had to surrender right there. Before I
knew it, this lady grabbed me, lifted me up and
told me I was delivered,” she stated. “Since the
deliverance, I have this peace inside of me. I can
sleep. I am just in tranquillity.”
. Olipha is packed with advice following her
extensive sojourn in the world of darkness. “I
have a lot of advice. Firstly to Christians – ‘If
you want to be a Christian, be a Christian’.
People who go to traditional doctors and
herbalists – hear it from me – there is no
solution there. You will finish your money and
at the end of the day, it will eat up even things
that you did not get through them. There is no
solution through herbalists, traditional healers
or witchdoctors. The only solution is Jesus
Christ.”
