Senior Pastor of House on the Rock Church, Paul Adefarasin, has submitted that Nigerian was not created by God but rather an agreement between Queen Elizabeth and the Ottoman Empire.
Adefarasin said this on Sunday, while delivering a sermon in his church.
The pastor stressed that Nigeria’s formation was not an act of divine order but rather a product of British colonial interests aimed at serving their financial agenda.
He challenged the popular belief that Nigeria was established under God’s direction, stressing that colonial power struggles shaped the country’s foundation.
“Nigeria, I do not believe it was created by God. I don’t believe it. I believe that Queen Elizabeth got into a deal with the Ottoman Empire and they had a deal concerning Sudan – those who care to buy the book, buy the book. It’s called The Martyrdom of Man.
“As far as Africa was concerned, two empires got together and decided that this land would go to the sons of Ishmael. It is self-evident, but let’s not go there. This is not a political forum. This is a church and the church has responsibilities to get right what man got wrong. She’s the light of the world and the salt of the earth. That’s important,” Adefarasin said.
According to him, Nigeria’s constitution is illegitimate, contending that it was written by the military government, rather than through the collective will of the people in a civilian regime.
