I approve 💯% of everything Holy Mallam has said on here especially for someone who has experienced similar. 1. When you are too available you are taken for granted 2. Don’t be too nice 3. Nobody is a saint especially the top people 4. You have to avoid their manipulations 5. Everyone is only out for their own gain You can never understand how he feels until it happens to you. I pray God heals us all.
This is my story. Thank God I had the courage to leave before I sink into depression. I'm at a place where I worship God freely. Our church is a mixture of White, Black American and other races. It has been a tremendous blessing to my children and I. Never will I worship in Nigeria church anymore.
I watched this podcast with utmost attention. Back home in Nigeria in a particular church,a popular church,we have contact with two pastors,one of them and his wife ,helped my husband to secure a lecturing job in a higher institution and the second pastor wanted to disterbilise my home. In abroad ,attending and associating with Nigerians can be a great YOKE, holy Mallam thank God you scaled through,may God continue to be with you and your family in Jesus name.Amen.
I love you Holymalam. I had the opportunity of doing church things with you here in Dallas and I can confirm to anyone who cares to read/listen that You is very humble and friendly.
This podcast and that of kofi's really hit home. And I am so glad you - Holy Mallam didn't lose salvation focus. And I like that your saying of going to church with your BB - Bible and Brain, which most of us go with just one. This interview really hit home. Let's keep praying and working towards the come back of Nigeria. 👍🏽
Oh my goodness! This one hit me hard @ Holy Mallam. Manipulating people with God's name. That was how a close relative of mine came up with this kind of manipulation one day and said God told her I should quit my acting career, change my style of dressing and blah blah. I shunned her and warned her sternly never to give me any of her fake prophecies again. Meanwhile, before I started my career, I did three days dry fasting for the first time in my life, begging God to show me my purpose in life. After the fasting God gave me a strong sign which led me to my career path. She wasn't with me when I sought God's face pertaining to my purpose in life, and after some years she had the audacity to manipulate me with her fake prophecy using God's name because she knows I have high regards for God Almighty. Never allow anyone to talk you out of your destiny in the name of fake prophecies. They make it look like they dine with God on the high table, while others settle for remnants from that same high dining table 🤣🤣🤣. God is for everyone, and as long as you have a personal relationship with Him, He will always come through for you. I doff my hat to you legends @Tejubabyface and @Holy Mallam. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I have always been uncomfortable with religion as a child especially Abrahamic religions but I practiced it cos i didn't have a choice. The day i finally gave up religion as an adult and connected with my creator is the day I found inner peace! Yes I have challenges, failures, and issues like every Adult on earth, but I have inner peace cos I know my Creator, the God of my Ancestors (Chukwu Abiama) is in charge.
I am a priest, and I understand his pain due to his encounter with the pastor he so much talked about here. As a former instrumentalist turned priest, I've lived in the two worlds as an instrumentalist and as a pastor. I have faced the people and challenges in both worlds. If you still attend a church with a pastor exuding the gifts of the spirit without the obvious accompaniment of the fruits of the Holy Spirit, run. There are a lot of pastorpreneur out there. They are good at building what seem like a physically successful church but not so much a spiritually prosperous people.
This is a life lifting discuss. I enjoyed every second of it. 50 percent of what holy Malam went through happened to me since my relocation to France. Most especially the church pastor's ( Narcissist issue). Thank God that God isn't a man. Thanks so much Teju Babyface. God bless you for this.🙏🏽
It was good to see Holly Mallam after a long period of time. We appreciate your show Teju. I just want to add that you should also interview those that are not celebrities once in a while to get their own stories about how they came to America, what they did to survive at the beginning, and how they navigated the new environment. The information from non-celeb would be of great help to those that want to leave Nigeria but are not celebrities. Thanks.
Nigerian church will show you shege pro max... there is something fundamentally wrong with the way we think!!! We went through similar and this right here has proved to me that God will see my family through.Holy Mallam, you look good ,thank God for your life and your wife's. Rev Sam indeed had made great impact in my life, one of the true ones . may God continue to bless him and his family
You hit the nail on the head…something is fundamentally wrong with the way Nigerians think… You cannot attend the church in peace they will want to know all your business and once they know it they start competing with you. Or they start avoiding you. Nigerian churches are exhausting.. majority have mental health issues that are not addressed!!
Woww..see me thinking bout holy mallam days ago..after i had finished watching the interview of Koffi ..only for Oga Teju to do the needful😅...i almost didn't not recognise him... Wooww.. Nice Work Boss. So much Nostalgia feeling
WE THANK GOD FOR YOUR WIFE AND YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY. THERE IS A LOT OF WISDOM FROM THIS INTERVIEW . A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE !. WE MUST KEEP LEARNING AND KEEP GROWING. THANK YOU SO MUCH . 💯 👍 ✌ 💪
Good to see a brother get back up again. I remeber when Holy Mallam xame to perform in Foursquare Gospel Church Ilasamaja Zonal Headquarters. I remember when he was playing drums in faith tabernacle. He truly loved God and served joyfully. All rhe experiences; good and bad, are gain because they all build a better person who can be a nlessimg to others who are going through same or help others aboid the pitfalls and maximise (redeem) the time. It's uplifting to see a brother keeping the faith. May Bod preserve you and yours. Teju thanks for ypur consistemcy. May grace abide with ypu amd all rhag concerns you. Amen.
God bless you Sir @ Holy Mallam, I learned that you need to set boundaries with people and never be too available because this life is full of wicked people.
Wao! Holy Mallam, I am moved by your testimony for that is what it is. And to Teju, now I know that when call a man He calls him. This is your calling my brother
Your wife healing is not necessarily based on your relocation anyways many also died of the sameness ailment here in abroad i think it’s just God that kept her alive
The sad truth is we Nigerians don't truly love one another. It's worse in diaspora. Unnecessary competition, gossip and arrogance. We Nigerians are our own problem. I'm glad his wife is better and they owe nobody anything ❤
That's human beings for you ooo People tag their wicked thoughts and actions, especially on the pulpit , to the prompting/ dictate of the Holy Spirit, and God the ALL SEEING sees all of that and just looking, haaaaaaa, waiting for their cups to be full. Olorun ku aibinu Glory be to God for your life. Bro Teju, God bless your ministry.
Big Kudos to TejuBabyFace for being such a patient listener to his interviewee. For not putting words in their mouths or taking words out of it. This is very matured interviewing at its best 👏🏾👏🏾. Pls keep it coming 💥💥
Really love the work going on here. One thing I should mention is that statistically, most of the people being interviewed on here will struggle when they migrate because their industry is a 1:99 in terms of employed to unemployed ratio even in Nigeria. That is to say most entertainers in the world are unemployed anyways and only the select few make it. So when you move to America, you automatically fall into the 99% unemployed bucket and you might be there longer than expected just because US is not your market. I can guess that if the interviewees were Software engineers, accountants, lawyers etc from Nigeria, the narrative might be slightly different.
Thank God for everything that happened to you, fantastic experiences that build you up to realized the real truth.Pls sir my rgds to your priceless diamond wife.i don't know her but I love her because of her mission and vision to be a wonderful colleague.Great nurse.......Abeg sir act for the nurses ooooo.Your interview is fully loaded with wisdom..One word KARMA.KUDOS SIR.
Malam, never to worry, God just took u through the fire /refinery / quary , you're coming out better than gold, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. 'Agbo to feyin rin lo, agbara lo lo mu wa' bro Teju, help me translate o 😂 He who fights and runs away lives to fight another day, correct ?
You can’t understand him if you’ve not worked closely with this narcissist pastor. I knew what my family went through when we left. Thank God for grace. After two years I’m still healing.
Hmmm....it takes time to completely heal.....sometimes you'll remember and you'll suddenly feel bad for letting someone dehumanize you for so long. I wish I can turn back the hands of time sha
I enjoyed this podcast ..... its a must for those jakparing and kudos to him. Although i dont know him he very family focus and i love that for him and his wife
Thanks to Sir Teju Babyface Episode with Chief Adewale Ayuba talks about religion but knowing God This episode talks about understanding our relationship with God and it's balance with Men Talking/Relating with men we see as holy or righteous but understanding what field to rightly place them
Honestly, I can relate to all he said, and the fact still remains that its important for everyone to live their truth. Don't lose yourself in any process or the issue of faith, dont try to prove any point or even be defensive.It's quite unfortunate that a lot is happening now, even in places solace should be prioritized. It's best for one to personally know and experience God genuinely. It's the only way you can know the truth and stand out and clear of a drowning crowd.Its great to serve God, but make sure it's in the right way.
23:10 “The covering has left them.” This ideology seems to be prevalent and I don’t really understand where we got it from and the issue is that if one is not grounded in Christ that which is projected might appear to take effect and the only reason for that is because such people are not self-aware and move internally through fear, albeit sometimes at the subliminal level, and birth that which is spoken in their experiences. Christ said the enemy came and found nothing in ME, nothing from outside can touch the one who is grounded in Christ no matter from whom or where the projection is coming from, the issue is only how vested one is in this human experience through doubt or fear.
I get sick and tired of the narrative of how bad Nigeria is. Kai. Yes things are bad I totally agree but all these celebrities that manage to escape now see Nigeria as a "dangerous" Place. Let us be calming down. Leave if you want to for whatever reason but enough of Nigeria bashing. We all have stories to tell. Nigeria is a 360 degree story let not always push the bad. It the same dangerous country that made us all we are today. Make una dey calm down
@@h-townfoodseekers6232 Oga be calming down sir, Nigeria is happening to us all. so please let's be clear. no one is saying things are el Dorado, sir. but when you never see anything go in Nigeria beats me. Even tinubu, obi atiku and everyone has Nigeria happening to them and us. Lisa is fun of inciting to violence, while it is her right but let's be clear, see what happened during endsars was it NOT hijacked?. it was a legit protest but see how it ended, chaos everywhere especially in Lagos. so pls Nigeria is happening to us all. be careful what we all wish for.
When you have a particular experience where your country fails you, you'd understand. There are certain aspects of Nigeria's problems you won't understand until it happens to you on a very personal scale. Nigeria is always the best place on the planet, until e touch you, especially as it concerns health issues. May Nigeria not happen you.
@@tha-element240 amin, I understand sir but anything can happen to you anywhere.. Canada UK and the USA can happen to you sir I am not saying things are el dorado here we are all facing crap in naija but once people japa you start using the left hand to point out your father's house
Hmmmm… I think you talked too much on that pastor and to be honest, this wasn’t stimulating enough for me as my expectation was a bit high for this episode. He spoke soooo much without saying anything. Teju also didn’t stir it well enough except he’s planning to bring him back at a later episode. I honestly don’t understand what he’s trying to accomplish with this.
@kunletalabi4927 Have you heard of S&P 500, CDs, Bonds, Stock options, Small businesses etc...? That's how you become wealthy, my friend... May God deliver you from docility and ignorance, sir...🤗🤗
Where is Holy Mallam from? I tot he is from the North buy I could here him speaking Yoruba. We all enjoyed his comedy way back. God bless you and your family.
Teju luv your show too much sense can you imagine I dey gym watching your show with piece of mind e nor matter your age run o the zoo has no provision for anybody o
One pastor almost ruin my life cos i am too available for his church. Boom he said God called me to ministry i knew right there that its a plan for me to be his slave .omo i stopped . He spread fake news about me to the extent of goibg spiritual with me. Make i no lie i follow my pastor with babalawo Now he avoid me pata pata
59:21 Yes, in Truth there is no past nor future but only NOW. The sun does not know that there is day and night it is the rotating earth that creates the illusion of day and night which the puny human mind needs to anchor itself on this shadow world of virtual reality.
It's not about church. It is the people in the church and in this case,he is not talking about Nigerian church. This happened to him abroad though with a Nigerian pastor.
Is the narrative for me” if you have not leave Nigeria”. Be it may you leave or don’t, if death comes it comes. Stop pushing this narrative to people. We can live in Nigeria or abroad and still leave good. Living abroad doesn’t guarantee you been alive.
An hour into this interview, the host only spoke 5, or 6 time; which make me ask, is Teju Show still interview and conversational, or ranting show? There is nothing comical about this man, except he truly need to heal from wrong pastor’s trauma. He needs a therapy, sadly not Teju Baby Show
HOLY MALLAM!!!! I celebrate you always but you need to forgive and move on. You have mentioned “church” and “this guy” for over a hundred time. You keep going back to church issues to every question.
The beef he has is the only thing you heard?? Please let us be making educated comments instead of generalizations.. This interview covered various topics. Maybe you should listen again and stop making religious prayers The guy has redemption already!!
The narrative that you have to leave Nigeria to either be safe, rich, or healthy is preposterous. You might delete this tweet like you always do, but I’m here to educate the feeble minds. You can live in Nigeria & have medicals in abroad, go on holidays, & still live better than anywhere else. I’ve been there done that. Security is an issue in Nigeria, but we still got our own loved ones back there. It is selfish, unreasonable, & greedy to portray the country as the worst that could ever happen to you. I think it is a failure on the part of many Nigerians who left the country for greener pastures. I think our inability to be creative & innovative & resourceful accounts for our departure. Those who left for security reasons are somehow excluded. Pastors leaving the country for whatever reasons is a mockery of what Christianity is all about. Home is where the heart is.
@@obiflex No insult whatsoever in my assertion. The mental slavery is beyond belief. Nigerians have this thick & unassailable mentality when it comes to constructive criticism. Abroad is great for a while, but no one will tell you when to run back to the motherland. Personally, regardless of naive public opinion, I still think Nigeria is the greatest country on earth.
Unfortunately things are really bad in Nigeria and whoever can leave should leave asap. People are dying senselessly. Nigeria is a mess and I am not sorry to say. Holy Mallam just shared his story and it is his to share.
@TheBee444 Ah, if it is the education of feeble minds that is the objective of this your ministry, you will have to type more than these few lines o. Remember that a fool and his foolishness are not easily separated? Ehen, so we would suggest at least a dozen of these types of comments back to back. We are thinking about 3 dozen should begin to hit the mark. Maybe the repetition will help these puny and weakend minds because it is only an Ọmọluabi (one of noble pedigree & character) that needs a little correction (abọ ọrọ) to get the message. Remember that all these people who have left Nigeria and who are telling their stories, usually from a vulnerable place, are - according to you- failures, selfish, unreasonable, greedy, uncreative, uninnovative and unresourceful (did we leave anything out)? Ah yes, they are mockers too! Can you imagine their temerity?! So they need to hear it properly o. Never mind all the other feeble minds who watch, enjoy, and have encouraging and nice things to say about the content and put it in the comments section here. Weak minds one and all (their gullibility is just so sickening! How can anyone watch this type of thing and praise the creators?!! Irọ o! No way). So, I don't think these few lines will cut it o. Please educate them. How dare the lazy and greedy jokers! We promise we won't delete your "tweets" (we actually thought tweets belonged on Twitter but we can understand that in the quick bid to get this your sterling nation building & life-saving opinions out, these types of mistakes are unavoidable. Or maybe it is that we don't understand the full scope of social media lingo, so consider us properly schooled. Even we will now adopt "tweet" in referring to ALL comments on ALL social media platforms). So, let flow your pedagogical prowess. The floor is yours. This is the proper forum and MOST EFFECTIVE way to save Nigeria. I agree, and nobody can say that you are not doing your part. Bravo!
@@iamallthinsnatural1218 I disagree. Nigeria might be going through one of the worst economic crises in modern era, I think every country bounces back from a recession. Regarding people dying senselessly, I think we gotta attribute that to regional grievances. SW, SS, & the Middle belt are pretty safe haven. SE & the North are the hot spot. Until these regions get rid of IPOB:ESN in the East and Boko Haram/Islamist extremism in the North, then these things won’t go away. America is not a safe haven either. How many mass shooting we have a year. Talk about violence in Chicago, DC, Phil, & many part of the. Country. UK got knife endemic. Canada’s crime rate is at its highest. All in all, home is where you call home. Enjoy.
