DAY 83 OF 100 DAYS SELF-REINVENTION SERIES - How Prof Moyo Okejidi invited the Police to kill him.

“The subconscious mind is ruled by suggestion; it accepts all suggestions – it does not argue with you – it fulfills your wishes.” – Dr. Joseph Murphy, from the book, The Power of the Subconscious Mind.

Thousands of Nigerians have read the recent near-death experience of Prof Moyo Okediji in the hands of the police and the Nigerian immigration service. What many do not realize is that Professor Moyo was the one who invited the Police and the Nigerian Immigration Service to harm him. Moyo should be forever grateful to God that his (Moyo’s” wishes were not executed on him.

?

For those who did not read the trending story, I will do a short recap here. Moyo Okediji?(67) is an?art historian,?painter?, and artist whose works contain a number of icons and signifiers of the deep aspects of?Yoruba culture.?He was part of Ona, an art movement at?Obafemi Awolowo University. – Wikipedia.

The Professor, who is based in the United States of America, left the shores of Nigeria about 30 years ago, dissatisfied with what was happening in Nigeria at the time, with a promise to himself never to return to Nigeria again. On Tuesday, the 12th of December, 2023, the professor decided to visit Nigeria. For reasons best known to the professor, he flew through Accra, Ghana, and came to Nigeria by road. As a Nigerian who has lived abroad and with a similar story as the Professor, my first guess for Oyedeji’s travel through Ghana was because of his expired passport (having never travelled to Nigeria for 30 years) and the fears in his head that he will be harmed by the Nigerian Immigration Service at the Murtala International Airport if he flew in directly.

?

In the Professor’s own narration, when he was traveling out of the country thirty years ago, he made a death wish on himself – to borrow his exact words, “I recalled the traumatic moment I left the country in 1992, and swore ‘If you see me in this god-forsaken country again, cut off my neck.’

Many people do not know the power of the subconscious. Your subconscious controls 95% of your life. According to psychologists, humans are only aware of 5% of the decisions that they make in their day-to-day lives. 95% of your life and what happens to you is outside conscious awareness. Marianne Szegedy-Maszak, writing for the US News and World Report has this to say, "According to cognitive neuroscientists, we are conscious of only about five percent of our cognitive activity, so most of our decisions, actions, emotions, and behavior depend on the 95 percent of brain activity that goes beyond our conscious awareness".

If, by chance, the reader of this article is a stranger to the subject, I will recommend you read the book The Power of the Sub-Conscious by Dr Joseph Murphy and save yourself from the ordeal that Professor Moyo unconsciously called on himself. Your subconscious does not have any emotions. It works 24 hours a day to carry out your instructions. It works like a military corporal taking orders from a General and is under compulsion to carry out the orders given to it.? When Prof Moyo said 30 years ago that if he ever returns to Nigeria, his neck should be cut off, he was not aware that he sentenced himself to death. He told his subconscious that this sentence should be carried out on him should he ever set his foot in this country. Thirty years down the line, homesick, he decided to return to Nigeria, not remembering that he made a death wish some 30 years ago that his subconscious is mandated to carry out.

If the professor had been a student of the subconscious mind, what he should have done is to reverse the curse he placed on himself before leaving the United States. For 30 days, he should have given his subconscious new instructions about Nigeria, and what happened to him would NEVER have happened to him. What do you expect to get from a country that you told your subconscious is God-forsaken, and if you ever return, your neck should be cut off? Prof got exactly what he commanded, and now we are all shouting about how bad the NIS and the Police are.

Let me freely speak here from what I have learned in the over fifteen books written by Dr. Joseph Murphy and Neville Goddard – Nigerians are the ones daily creating the experiences that they get from everything in Nigeria. Every human is 100% responsible for the experiences they get from life. Very sadly, over 90% of Nigerians abroad are the first to speak evil about Nigeria. They do it daily. They do it to justify their unhappiness with living away from family and what is normal with being a Nigerian. But they really do not have to.

?

I left Nigeria in 2003, and together with my family, we settled in the Republic of Ireland. For years, I mingled with Nigerians who spoke ill of Nigeria every day. I once told my friends that I was done with my Nigerian passport. Daily, the Nigerian community in the diaspora assaulted my mind with evils going on in Nigeria: murders, robbery, etc. I felt justified in living in Ireland. Although I scarcely participated in these curses that Nigerians in the diaspora inflicted on the nation, the community of Nigerians daily painted my imagination with evil. Three years down the line, I had a need to come to Abuja and booked a flight to visit Nigeria for about four days; my imagination was filled with fear. I read many of the diaspora death wishes, and I started praying not to be killed at the Nigerian airport. Finally, I arrived in Lagos at about 10 pm, went through all the passport controls, and came out of the airport. My friend Mike was around to pick me up in his Mercedes car. I disguised my dress to look like what we call ”agbero” in Nigeria. The common story in the diaspora at the time was that once the police could tell that you were coming from abroad, they were likely to rob you of your cash and kill you. Mike pulled out his car from the car park and drove to the arrivals. My heart was beating faster as I stood at the arrivals waiting for him. As soon as he parked his car, I threw in my bags with speed and jumped in, quickly shutting the door. I used my hands to feel my right pocket to see if the five thousand euros I came with was still intact. Thankfully, it was. We sped off.

?

Two minutes after we zoomed from the airport, the Mercedes engine went off before we could get to Ajao Estate. This is 1 am. This is Nigeria, the supposed country where they kill diaspora returnees and rob them of their money. My subconscious was shouting at me – get ready, you will soon be killed. On and on and I literally passed out. As street hustlers who pose as mechanics came to help push the Mercedes car, I took off my clothes, threw the jacket that can easily make me visible as coming from a foreign country into the boot of the car. Next, I pulled my shirt and tied it around my waist especially the pocket where I held five thousand euros. I watched very carefully as Mike and the hustlers tried to revive the Mercedes car, calling on all the gods I knew in the world, from Jesus to Mohammed and down to Budha to rescue me from death. At about 1.30 am, the Mercedes engine started, and we paid the hustlers and headed home. 30 minutes later, we arrived home at Agidingbi, and I was safe again. Years later I became familiar with the works of Dr Joseph Murphy and understood how my unconscious switched off the Mercedes engine to bring my imagination upon me. Unlike Professor Moyo, I had not placed any curse on myself, but the canvas of my imagination was riddled with fear and death. According to Dr Joseph Murphy when your imagination and wishes are in conflict, your imagination will prevail. Your subconscious can inflict cancer, barrenness, job loss, and all sorts of sickness on you depending on the commands that you send to it. My prayer is that the Professor will read this piece and help his friends living in the diaspora to avoid this disaster that he called upon himself. ?Since my experience and delisting from the Nigerian diaspora community evil news, I have flown in and out of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport more times than I can possibly count and at almost every time imaginable. I have been in and out of the airport with not even the slightest though that anything could harm me. In July this year, I flew ASKY airline to Togo but chose not to use my return ticket and instead traveled to Nigeria by road for the first time. I passed Seme border in less than a minute with the immigration officers even forgetting to stamp my passport after collecting N3000 from me, the same sport where Prof’s Subconscious doled out $500 to the NIS.

We can all live a better, richer life if we understand how the subconscious works. Unemployment will reduce drastically if only we apply the law of the subconscious appropriately. Many unemployed persons have instructed their unconscious to keep them unemployed. So many others have instructed their unconscious to keep them poor, divorced, single, sick and broke. But you can free yourself.

I leave you with the following quotes from Dr. Joseph Murphy –

“The law of attraction attracts to you everything you need, according to the nature of your thought life. Your environment and financial condition are the perfect reflection of your habitual thinking. Thought rules the world.”

?

“Your subconscious never sleeps. It is always on the job. It controls all your vital functions. Forgive yourself and every one else before you go to sleep, and healing will take place much more rapidly.”

?

“Think good and good follows. Think evil, and evil follows. You are what you think all day long.”

“The subconscious mind is ruled by suggestion, it accepts all suggestions – it does not argue with you – it fulfils your wishes.”

“Your subconscious mind does not argue with you. It accepts what your conscious mind decrees. If you say, ‘I can’t afford it,’ your subconscious mind works to make it true. Select a better thought. Decree, ‘I’ll buy it. I accept it in my mind.’ ”

“All you have to do is unite, mentally and emotionally with the good you wish to embody. The creative powers of your subconscious will respond accordingly.”

“You are like a captain navigating a ship. You must give the right orders, thoughts and images to your subconscious which controls and governs all your experiences.”

“Watch your thoughts. Every thought accepted as true is sent by your brain to your solar plexus – your abdominal brain – and is brought into your world as a reality.”

“Trust the subconscious mind to heal you. It made your body, and it knows all of its processes and functions. It knows much more than your conscious mind about healing and restoring you to perfect balance.”
