AN OPEN LETTER TO HIS EXCELLENCY, GOVERNOR OF LAGOS STATE AND HONOURABLE LAW MAKERS

SANWO-OLU MOURNS MEDICAL DOCTOR, DR. DIASO, ORDERS IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION

AN OPEN LETTER TO HIS EXCELLENCY, GOVERNOR OF LAGOS STATE AND HONOURABLE LAW MAKERS

We write to call your attention to the misinformation and puncturing of our rich history by the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat. The Deputy Governor has been a torn in the flesh to the people of this division who had previously co-existed in peace and understanding for numbers of years as officially recorded. It has come to our notice that if the Deputy Governor is not properly contained and cautioned he will drive the division into communal clash that had previously been abolished by our fore bearers.

To avoid this as it were in 1979, the Deputy Governor and the type of leadership tactics he has deployed among our people may not mean or end well.

It is pertinent to let you know that the Deputy Governor, Obafemi Hamzat is neither related to Epe by blood nor by birth. He was brought to the division by some of our greedy and selfish leaders, groomed under a certain family to give him head-on ahead of some other aspiring candidates during the 2014 Gubernatorial Elections, we are contending this to your Honourable Offices to point out the fact that he is not from here, therefore he knows nothing of our history, culture, traditions and how we do our things. By this he will be in no way allowed to dictate in that aspect to us.

His sudden support for the Alara of Ilara Kindgom came as no surprise because some of us are aware of his antecedence in Mushin, in the same vain, and like Mushin, we denied him the dictation and welfare of our people because he is not one of us. Ilara as a Kingdom is a town under Epe and under the jurisdiction of the Oloja of Epe Land. What is surprising is that the Deputy Governor is now helping the recently installed Alara of Ilara to push his boundaries and the narratives that he is the most superior King in the division ahead of the Paramount Ruler of Epe. Like in other 3 divisions of Lagos as the Chairman, only the Paramount Rulers are recognised as the permanent Vice Chairman of Lagos Council of Obas and Chiefs. It is written and historically proven that the Oloja of Epe Land is the Paramount Ruler of Epe Land and its environs. The Awujale of Ijebuland and as the Custodian of the Ijebu people recently reiterated this when there was issues of land disputes hearing at Lagos High Court seated in Epe.

Ironically the Deputy Governor had tried this act in Mushin where the indigens and people of Mushin didn’t let it happen. Epe is a more aboriginal division than that of Mushin.

Your Excellency and Honourable House, Epe people have been very welcoming and accommodating to all and sundry but the Deputy Governor – is giving us a lot of reasons to change this status quo, he has gone as far as involving the ever resilient Lady Doja Otedola, the wife of the former Governor of Lagos state; Sir Michael Agbolade Otedola.

He already did one successfully by installing the Grand Chief Imam General of the division to a certain section of the division who had never held such position before and historically have no right to it. He had also at one time tried to interfere in the affairs of Transport Union (NURTW) workers. This time we won’t allow him that privilege, because this is a Royalty issue and it has a lot to do with our culture and traditions for generations to come.

We as concerned aborigines hereby seek your intervention into this matter as leaders, fathers and a well brought up Yoruba men to ward him of these steps. We are peace loving people who goes by their daily routines, culture and traditions normally, we won’t allow this magnitude of the chaos he is trying to cause the people of this division, he should step back and leave us as we have been for centuries before his emergence.

Your Excellency and Honourable House of Assembly, we will appreciate as a matter of urgency if you can wade into this matter as soon as possible.

Yours sincerely
Designate of Epe Aboriginals and Indigenes

Olayemi Yekini,
Chairman.

Tunji Aberuagba,
Publicity Secretary.

Breaking Free from Curses: A Prophetic Exposé by Prophet Joshua Iginla in South Africa

Breaking Free from Curses: A Prophetic Exposé by Prophet Joshua Iginla in South Africa

At the heart of the Harvest of Miracle Conference (Day 3) held in South Africa, Prophet Joshua Iginla delivered a stirring and spiritually electrifying sermon titled “How to Break Out of Curses.” The prophetic encounter was not just a sermon—it was a divine unveiling of keys to personal liberation from long-standing ancestral, parental, and self-inflicted curses. With biblical precision and revelatory depth, Prophet Iginla laid out spiritual principles to break the chains of bondage and restore destinies.
Below is a deep dive into the central truths he delivered:
1. Apply the Hammer of the Word of God
Key Scripture: Hebrews 4:12; John 1:1-4
Prophet Iginla began by emphasizing the irreplaceable role of God’s Word as a weapon of liberation. Quoting Hebrews 4:12, he described the Word as a living and powerful sword—a divine hammer capable of smashing generational curses into irrelevance. According to him, the Word is not passive; it actively pierces, dissects, and reconstructs destinies.
“The Word of God is God Himself translated into language. You can’t carry the life of God and be subdued by curses,” he declared.
He challenged believers to incubate themselves in the Word until the Word becomes flesh in their lives (John 1:1–4). Whether the curse was deserved or unjust, the Word—if engaged properly—will hammer it into pieces.
Takeaway: To break out of curses, soak your life daily in the Scriptures. Recite it, meditate on it, declare it—let the Word do spiritual surgery.
 2. Engage the Force of Prayer
Key Scripture: Luke 18:1
Prophet Iginla likened prayer to spiritual artillery that disarms curses operating in secrecy or in public. Curses thrive in silence; prayer destroys their breeding ground.
“You can’t pray and remain cursed. A man of prayer is a man of power,” he said.
He reminded the audience of Jesus’ parable on the necessity of continual prayer (Luke 18:1), underscoring that persistent, violent, faith-driven prayer dismantles spiritual verdicts issued against a person’s lineage.
Takeaway: Don’t just pray occasionally—make prayer a lifestyle. Curses retreat when a person dwells in the atmosphere of divine communication.

 3. Walk in Forgiveness
Key Scripture: Matthew 6:14–15
One of the most heartfelt moments in the message came as Prophet Iginla addressed the poison of unforgiveness. Whether you are seeking forgiveness or granting it, bitterness is a spiritual magnet for curses.
“Forgiveness is not just for them; it’s your jailbreak,” he warned.
He explained that unforgiveness delays divine intervention. When you forgive, you align with God’s mercy—activating divine pardon and freedom from curse-based consequences.
Takeaway: Forgive swiftly. Harboring offense is like nurturing your own prison. Mercy flows where forgiveness is present.
4. Understand and Undo Parental Curses
Key Scripture: Ephesians 6:2–4
Moving into deeper waters, Prophet Iginla highlighted that parental curses—especially those spoken by biological or spiritual parents—are some of the most potent and dangerous forms of curses.
“A prophet can pray for you, but if your parent cursed you, go back and make peace,” he admonished.
He addressed children who have turned against their parents due to offenses, urging them to seek reconciliation. According to him, honor unlocks destiny, and dishonor invites spiritual blockage. Even imperfect parents deserve respect—not necessarily because of their actions, but because of their divine position.
Takeaway: Don’t trade your future for the satisfaction of revenge. Reconcile with your parents. That act alone may cancel years of spiritual delay.
Avoid Being a Curse to Yourself
Not all curses come from external forces—some are self-inflicted, Prophet Iginla revealed. People who engage in destructive behaviors, dishonor their spiritual lineage, or handle their lives carelessly often curse themselves unknowingly.
 “When you disconnect from those assigned to help your destiny, you plug into frustration,” he stated.
He warned spiritual sons and daughters to never dishonor their spiritual covering, as doing so cuts them off from prophetic blessings. Likewise, believers who self-sabotage through sin, fear, and laziness must repent and align themselves with divine purpose.
Takeaway: Examine yourself. Are you living in a way that invites curses? Shift today.
As he concluded, Prophet Joshua Iginla released a thunderous prayer:
 “I break to pieces every chain of curses released to tie and frustrate your destiny. Any blanket of curses covering your future is removed. In Jesus’ mighty name!”
The atmosphere was charged, and many in the auditorium experienced instant breakthroughs, with testimonies of curses being broken and destinies realigned.
Final Thoughts
Curses are real, but they are not permanent. In this powerful session, Prophet Joshua Iginla made it clear: You don’t break curses through emotion or logic—you break them through divine strategy. Engage the Word, persist in prayer, walk in forgiveness, honor your roots, and live wisely.
The chains will break. The curse will be reversed. And your life will reflect the blessing of the Lord that makes rich and adds no sorrow.
