The Nigerian Supreme Council for Ecclesiastical Affairs (NSCEA) is a prominent Christian organization in Nigeria, dedicated to promoting unity, doctrine, and accountability within the Christian community. Recently, the NSCEA has been at odds with Olumba Olumba Obu, the founder and leader of the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star (BCS), a controversial religious movement.

*Background*

Olumba Olumba Obu claims to be the Holy Spirit incarnate and has amassed a significant following in Nigeria and beyond. His teachings and practices have raised concerns among Christian leaders, prompting the NSCEA to investigate and address the issue.

*Concerns and Criticisms*

The NSCEA has denounced Olumba Olumba Obu’s teachings as heretical and blasphemous, citing several concerns:

1. *Claiming divinity*: Olumba Olumba Obu’s assertion of being the Holy Spirit incarnate contradicts fundamental Christian doctrine.
2. *False teachings*: BCS doctrine deviates from orthodox Christianity, leading followers astray.
3. *Exploitation*: Reports of financial exploitation, manipulation, and emotional control have surfaced.
4. *Cult-like behavior*: BCS practices, such as isolation from family and friends, raise concerns about cult-like behavior.

*NSCEA’s Response*

In response to these concerns, the NSCEA has:

1. *Issued public warnings*: Alerting Christians about the potential dangers of BCS teachings.
2. *Condemned Olumba Olumba Obu’s claims*: Declaring his assertions of divinity as blasphemous.
3. *Called for accountability*: Urging Olumba Olumba Obu to retract his statements and dissolve the BCS.
4. *Collaborated with law enforcement*: Investigating reports of exploitation and potential human rights abuses.

*Conclusion*

The NSCEA’s stance on Olumba Olumba Obu and the BCS highlights the organization’s commitment to protecting Christian doctrine and promoting accountability within the Nigerian Christian community. While Olumba Olumba Obu’s teachings may appeal to some, the NSCEA’s concerns and criticisms are grounded in biblical principles and a desire to safeguard the faith.

As the NSCEA continues to address this issue, it is essential for Christians to remain vigilant, critically evaluating teachings and practices that deviate from orthodoxy. By promoting unity, doctrine, and accountability, the NSCEA plays a vital role in maintaining the integrity of Christianity in Nigeria.

*Recommendations*

1. *Increased awareness*: Educate Christians about the potential dangers of BCS teachings.
2. *Interfaith dialogue*: Encourage open discussions between Christian denominations and organizations.
3. *Support for victims*: Provide resources and support for those affected by BCS practices.
4. *Continued monitoring*: NSCEA should maintain surveillance on BCS activities, ensuring accountability and protecting the Christian community.

In closing, Bishop Professor Funmilayo Adesanya-Davies, the Secretary, Elders’ Council, NSCEA declares and affirms, “It’s Time up for ROLAND OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU Jnr. and it’s over for Brotherhood of Cross and Star in Jesus Christ precious and mighty name. AMEN.”

By taking a firm stance against heresy and promoting biblical truth, the NSCEA demonstrates its dedication to the well-being of Nigerian Christianity.
