THE 40TH APPARITION MESSAGE OF THE BLESSED
VIRGIN MARY, AT OUR LADY QUEEN OF IMMACULATE CONCEPTION APPARITION CENTRE,
IFITE - AWKA THROUGH SISTER MARY JANE UJU NWAFOR, ON 22nd & 23rd
OF JULY 2005.
Our Lady started her messages with the following songs:
“ I pughi I gbanari iwe Chineke
…………
(You cannot escape the wrath of God).
“Chee echiche ndu gi, bere
onwe gi akwa
………” (Think about your life and weep for yourself.)
My children, I will depart from you very soon. I wish to return
(2times). My last visit could be the next apparition. You are beginning to
annoy me by insulting me. You have begun to castigate me. Those I loved and
those I blessed out of my goodness are fighting and persecuting me also. My
child, you cannot escape my wrath. I came for your own good and welfare (2ice).
I came
because of the love I have for you. You do not know who I am. Your faith is too
little, but it is I who made it to grow. What other Blessed Mother do you have? Still you speak
against me, insult me and use many words against me. You insulted me and
insulted many of my handiwork and say that my works are not good in this
apparition centre, that is the highest so far
throughout the whole world.
My plans have no meaning for you. I will not stay with you any
longer (2ice). Everything I have begged from you, you never cared to listen to
me. Nevertheless, I will not mind looking after you. I will be helping you like
a mother. If you ask me of anything, I used to come and answer your prayers.
But for the sufferings I underwent at Ifite - Awka in order to cleanse you. I cleansed you with the
blood, which my beloved son shed on the cross; still, you speak against me
(2ice) (She cries and shed tears).
My children let me go. Since you do not need me; my son, Jesus
needs me. Since you do not need me, heavenly courts/ hosts need me. I am not happy at
all. I am not happy. Have I ever visited you this way before? You speak against
my daughter, the instrument through whom I used to work for you. What have I
done to you? How have I wronged you? What have my daughter done to you? If you
do not want me to go abruptly, then, I will pay you a surprise package, though
it will pain you. It will pain you but I have to do it. The insult you meted on
me is too much (2ice). I will do something surprising (2ice) so that you will
understand that it is the Holy Mother of God. But I am very merciful.
I share the same Merciful heart with my son Jesus. I am Mother of
Mercy and Love, but you have maltreated me to the point of shedding tears. You
have so ill-treated me that I am now running away from you. You have maltreated
me and planned to chase me away. There is no problem; I will go so that you
will stay alone. He who rejects me as his mother, will
later call me his mother. Continue to speak against me. Insult me and make me a laughing
stock. My peace be with you! (2ice). My children, good-bye, good-bye, good-bye. I will come in
the next apparition but it could be my first and the last. Peace be with you!
Stop crying! My children, let it be! Stop
crying. Is there anything I don’t do for you? I am justified; my hands are
clean for you (2ice). Why are you insulting me, my children? Why are you
causing me to be ashamed of you? Why are you slandering me? Why are you
provoking me? Is there any way I have wronged you? Don’t I heal your sicknesses
without charge? Is there anything I have never done for you? Bye-bye! My peace be with you. You don’t take my words seriously. I have not come for
joke. I have
not come down from heaven to earth to play. If you say that I am not the Person
coming, I thank you. Later, those who do not believe will believe, but let
those who believe stand firm and be upright! (2ice).
For those who are speaking against me keep on, after today’s
apparition we shall see. I will bring you to the situation, which nobody will
rescue you until you confess with your mouth whatever you have said. Because you have infuriated me now. I can’t endure any
longer, it is too much. What have I done to you? What did I do to you? I suffer
for you for nothing. I will allow you to go round the universe and see if you
can find other mothers better than me. Keep on insulting me. I thank you so much for
that (2ice). Keep on! I am no more your mother (2ice), since you do not take me
for your mother (3times). Let me go where I am honoured
as a mother. The saints and angels need me. My son, Jesus needs me. Let me go,
I have stayed with you enough. I have stayed with you. Bye-bye!
All the things I have begged from you, you did none for me. Did I
not heal your sicknesses and protected you? Did I not take away the burdens in
your family? But I begged you a little thing to do for me, but you never cared
to do it. Nobody wants to talk now. Some of those who made promises to me have
not fulfilled their promises. If you wish, you fulfil your
promises, otherwise you forget about it. In fact don’t bring them again because
the time I needed them has pasted. I don’t mean anything to you. You don’t take
me serious; if at all I work for you or do any good thing to you. Do you think that it is
Mary Jane who is speaking on her own? Is it Mary Jane that cures your
sicknesses? Is it Mary Jane that makes sand to cure your diseases? Do you know
that sand is not good for the body? What did I suppose to do for you that I
have not done for you?
You speak against my work at Ifite-Awka
and heap abuses on me. Do you think that I am foolish to have made you share in
my love? I made sand to cure your diseases. Have you ever heard that any of my
pilgrims to this apparition has died in any accident or died in labour? My children, I go round taking care of you without
rest (2ice). Peace be with you! Bye-bye! Bye-bye!
Peace be with you. (People continued crying and begging
her to forgive them especially because of the faithful pilgrims and the little
ones). I
will not forgive you because of any body. Even my Daughter the visionary, Mary
Jane has been crying and begging me, but I have not listened to her for now.
You have mistaken Mary Jane as the person who cures you. I will
leave her to see if she will cure you again. Mary Jane will begin to give you
her own messages. Let me go and rest. My children, I have not changed my mind. Where
shall I run to? Will I run to you who come for apparition, or to the children I
use for my work, or to their parents. I don’t trust anybody. You don’t take
what I tell you seriously. If I am working for you why can’t you come out and
give the testimony of what I have done for you? Rather you wait for who comes
out first. Why can’t you do for your mother what she wants? Am I the one to buy
band for you? Am I the one to purchase musical instruments for you? They give
me much concern. Another thing that saddens me most is how you slander, gossip,
mock, ridicule and speak against me. Some have even spoken against the Holy
Spirit that is of course, eternal hell fire. I pity you.
Some of those who pretend to come for apparition don’t know what
they come for. Is the apparition ground where people come to sleep? Or is it where
people come to play? Is the apparition center, where young boys and girls come
to display their youthful exuberances? How would you come
the house of God and sell your body to people, scorn me and still claim to be
my prayer partner? You claim to be working for Mary Jane, shame unto you! All
those called for this apparition especially those called as prayer partners you
are inviting my trouble. I am waiting for you. I will wait for you. Everything you said
against me, I will wait for you. Let us wait till after this apparition, you
will know that I am the person coming. You said that I am not the person
coming. I will show you that I am the person coming. You will see me by force,
whether you like it or not.
How do you say your prayers and do fasting? Does it mean that after
all my visits and sufferings, I will not win any soul?
Those who made pledges to me, when will you fulfil
your promises? How many months now? (2 times). Don’t
bring them again since you are no more interested. If you are among those
that made pledges to me, don’t bring them again. Hold your money! (3times).
Hold your money so that I will not snatch it from you by force, so that it will
not be that Mary Jane my daughter is making money. I have not come for money. I
tell you, I have not come for money. I came to save you. Do I take any money
from you?
Have I charged you for anything? (3 times) Do I take money from
you when you come for office? Do I charge you for the Aja
nso (holy sand)? Where again have I wronged you?
Why then do you speak against me? Why do you insult me? And some are conspiring
against me? I told you that a great wind will blow. A great wind shall blow. It
is beginning to blow, but it has blown a little and some people have fallen
away. They
may find themselves in a place that is not good to mention.
Those who will see God are those who are humble. You must be
humble like little children so that I can work with you. If you humble yourself, I
will do many good things for you. If you look around this apparition ground,
would you say that I have not been fair to my children? Would you say that is
not Our Lady that is coming? Did you see this storey building last January? Did
you see it in February or March? My children why do you then insult me? You have pursued me out
to this open place. Now among my problems is those I
called to work for me. Many of you are my problems now both old and young. If you like, go to
anywhere you wish, I must prove myself. You have challenged me, but I will
prove myself and make name for myself.
When I commenced my visit to Ifite-Awka
you challenged me to prove myself. Have I not proved myself? I have proved myself.
Is there anywhere sand cures diseases in the whole world? The medications you
buy for your sicknesses do you still buy them? How much do you spend in the
hospital since you started using my sand? Why can’t you buy for yourselves just gospel
band? What next do you want me to tell you? Who do you think that you are
buying it for? Is it for Mary Jane? Whatever we have in this apparition ground
belong to all of us.
Did you bring any bag of cement for the building of the buildings
here? Did you bring one trip of sand or did you bring any rod? I am asking all
of you. My children, why are you then insulting me? Stop insulting me (2times).
Does Mary Jane come out to dance with you? Have you ever seen her coming to
join you? Why are you then still insulting me? Is it not for your own good that
I beg you for this band since? If you ask me for something I do it for you.
Within a second I have done it for you, but you will not even come to give
testimony. Why are you insisting that I continue to stay? I can’t stay with you
any longer and I am justified.
What of you people that I am seeing now? I know you have come to
receive my blessings and to hear my voice too. You are welcome! I greet you
all. Those
from far and near, I greet you all. I greet everybody especially the little
children. The parents and the young men and women that claim that they come for
apparition, I salute you. You have sidetracked the instrument through which I
work for you. No body cares to ask about her. But when you come to apparition I
will use her to work for and you will be happy that you have come for
apparition to receive my blessings. It is enough. Enough is enough. I
don’t want that again. I am no longer happy with you. Compare how many times
you still say your prayers in a day with the amount of blessings you receive in
a day.
I love you people and I made a promise to you that in my visit to Ifite-Awka that I will do every good thing you ask of me.
But you have forsaken my daughter Mary Jane. Nobody remembers that she exists.
From Monday to Sunday nobody comes to console or encourage her. I don’t demand
that you visit her with food or car, but at least words of encouragement is
enough. Or at least to know whether she is healthy at all.
As you know, if you look for Mary Jane now and don’t find her, today’s
apparition will not hold. You will wait and go, and presume that I will not
come. It is important to care about her. If it is not important to you, it is
to me. One
can only boast for what he has, that is why I come down everyday to look after
her.
As a good mother, I come down everyday to console and encourage
her. If it were you, you will not do it. Can you bear insults for what you are
not guilty of? How do you feel when somebody abuses or insults you on the
street? But none of you comes here to console or encourage my daughter to keep
it up. Do you think that she is not a mortal like you? She is not an angel,
that God uses her does not mean that she not an ordinary human being like you.
Though when the spirit of God possesses her she is not just ordinary person,
but when it leaves her she becomes like every other ordinary person.
My children, you don’t care for my daughter, Mary Jane and she
nearly died. None of you came to visit her. She was dying of hunger and was
seriously sick and none of you came to console her. I am the one that insisted
that I would use for today’s apparition, otherwise my daughter has been sick
since last office. She could not attend to those who came to office last
Wednesday. It was after the office day that I took care of her fever and made
her well for today’s apparition. Her mother heard that she was sick and rushed
home from her travel to take care of her.
My children, what again do you want me to do for you? Where have I
done you wrong? Did I demand anything too much from you? Just simply to take care
of my daughter for me through whom I work for you. Why can’t you encourage her for me? If
you think that it is easy, let me try the visit to you. Don’t worry; I will
start coming to your houses one by one so that you have a taste of it. The
little children their parents committed to me as helpers to Mary Jane have all
left her and nobody wants to know. Worst still those I called as prayer
partners left all the work for Mary Jane and deserted her. They made me object
of mockery presuming that they are haunting Mary Jane without knowing that they
are offending the mother of God. How do you think that I will be happy with all
these mess?
But do you think that I don’t see you? If my daughter doesn’t see you, I see
you.
My children (3 times), I have not come to make money. This is the
forth time I am repeating this. I came for the salvation of souls. You may
think that Mary Jane is living on your money. She does not meddle with any
amount of your money. You can make inquiry. At least there is somebody who can
tell you the truth. None of you is with me, nobody cares. You take your private
affairs, work and businesses more important than my work. If you hear the news
of the demise of Mary Jane now you will begin to ask, “ what shall we do?” let
me tell you I will not reveal to you the minds of the heavens, but whatever you
see, you take it that way.
I am becoming disgusted. I am becoming tired of you. (Somebody
begs her). Do not call on me. I don’t cherish your attitudes any more. I
will not ask you again to buy anything for me. If you people can’t look after
my daughter through whom I work for you people, why are you asking me to stay?
Some come to roam here and claim that they came for apparition while some claim
that they are among those praying for Mary Jane. “Shame unto
you two times!”
My children, I don’t trust any of you. You have denied and
deserted me, especially the young men and women I called for my work. Since you
refused to work for me let me see the person you will work for. If you refuse
to work for God, who will you work for? This shows that you are not convinced
that I am the one speaking. Since you people don’t believe me, bye bye! Wait till the “real” mother of God comes then you
believe her. Does Mary Jane follow me to your houses when I come to heal you of
your sickness? Do you see me when I come to you? Do you know how I enter your
house? I pass sleepless night to take care of you; I even go with you on the
streets. I am one mother but I am everywhere. I am in white-men’s countries. I
am in
Some of you say that I no longer use Mary Jane for my work, that
all Mary Jane say now is fake. While others claim that
all I did at Ifite Awka is
fake too.
It is only if you confess with your mouth, that you become free. There is no
exception both old and young men and women. I will no longer keep silent. I
want to do a remarkable thing that you will doubt whether it is the mother of God
that actually did it. I have been kind to you all this while, but you people
don’t want it again. You stay in your houses and call Mary Jane names. Tufiakwa! (woe to you) (2wice). What has Mary Jane done to you? Should I work through you?
If you agree I am not afraid to enter you. But let every one respect one’s gift
from God.
Do not condemn any person’s gift from God.
You conspired against me saying, “I will deal with that small
girl.” “The apparition will collapse”. “Nothing will prevent it from falling.” Today, I stand here to
tell you that all your challenges will not affect me. Do you mean that what
came from heaven will fall? My children, do you know how many times I knelt
down to solicit for this before the Trinity? Do you know how many times I knelt
down to bring down this apparition to you. Do you know
how I suffered and prayed? I came down out of my own kindness. Is this not the
eleventh March that I came? Nobody remembers my birthday. Nobody remembers the
first day I came. It is not among your budgets. Nobody remembers the feast of
Immaculate Conception but I still endure all of them. Where again do you
want me to go?
I told you last time to be paying visits to my daughter, was it
not my request? How many of you did it? I did not ask you to go with anything
for her; but, how many of you paid her visit since then. Do you know who
created her? Myself, mother of God goes to see her.
Did Mary Jane do any bad thing to you? If she has done anything to any person
let the person indicate by raising up his hand. I am
asking all of you here present both those awake and those asleep. Come out and
say what she has done to you. Why are you then castigating her? Why can’t you
believe that she is my instrument and you slander me too (2 time).
Onye inye aka ya ka mu
bu ,mgbe uwa na-emegide ya …
I sing and dance for you. I even touch you. We relate like brothers and
sisters. I tell you solemnly, you are really my brothers and sisters. You are
my friends. You are my descendants. You are my beloved. You are my companions.
But you gave me your children only to withdraw them later. You pressurize them
to travel out on the day of apparition, presuming that I can’t do anything. I
will do something (2times). Try me again. I am no more happy (2times) and you are
begging me to stay. The reason why I am giving message today is because of my
anointed priests. If not because of them I would have left you and gone. I have
other people to look after. There are those who need me. How can you give me
and my son time?
How many times have I visited you in this apparition? Forty
times! (2 times) How do you think that Mary Jane can produce messages for forty
times. Drive out the devil in you that is doing all these thing. Are you possessed by the devil? (3 times)
The devil does not do any harm to the child of God, only that you have not
accepted God. The devil is not holding you. You know what you are doing. Are you starving
in your houses? Have you not eaten from Monday till now? If care is not taken,
this may be the last time you may hear my voice. I will not come again if you
continue in this manner.
The band I asked you to buy for me. Is it not for your
entertainment? Or do you hear that Mary Jane is a musician. But still you have
continued to abuse Mary Jane. What annoys me is that you forget the work I do
for you and heap abuses on Mary Jane that does have any case with you. You will
not come to visit Mary Jane, those who care to come, do that reluctantly, while
those who stay around, stay for what they will gain
from me. I don’t have much to say. I have exhausted all have for today. You can
come and give your own message if you have any. I have finished (3 times). (The
pilgrims were asking for forgiveness). How many times will I forgive you?
If you are a mere mortal, you should fear God. But you take it
very common. You claim that you drank Aja Nso (holy sand) and it cured you this or that. If it were dibia (native Doctor) he would demand heaven and earth from
you, would you not give it to him? If you are admitted to hospital and you are
charged two hundred thousand naira or two-millon
naira, would you not pay it? How much have I charged you for all I have been
doing for you.
Why are you asking me for forgiveness? Why are you begging me? Tell
me why you are begging me? Some say let her finish and go. I will continue to
give my messages. You claim that all I do is fake,
that my visit is fake, all my work is fake, but I am sorry for you. Tell such
people sorry.
My children, I am not sure of any of you. Do you really hunger for
heaven? If you want to enter heaven indicate by raising
up your hands. But you have not gone half. You have not made any movement at
all. You have not made any step. If you start the journey we shall know. I have
not seen any person making much effort. I have not seen any person. If I see
any person I will be very happy. I am weeping for you. Whatever you can’t get
from me, from whom again can you get it. If you forsake me; Is it my son Jesus
that you will run to? There is no problem. It shall be well with you. (2times). Insist on doing what you like. Continue to do your
wish when you come for apparition. It shall be well. I have been waiting for
you.
Those who made pledges to me don’t bring them again. May those who
have redeemed theirs be blessed. For those who have
not redeemed theirs yet, keep them to yourselves. The blessings that suppose to
come with them will no longer come. Forget about it, if you have not brought
yours. I don’t need them again. The new comers should not be annoyed please. It
is what those that have been coming did that made me come with annoyance today.
For the newcomers, I am happy with you. Bye bye! and peace be with you. Peace be
with you!
Where are the benefactors? Where are the committee members? After
each apparition everybody goes on his way. Nobody cares except Mr. Ndubuisi. Will Ndubuisi die for
you all? Do you want his death? Nobody thinks of what next to do. Ndubuisi will write the message. He will go to
Where are Mrs Nwokolo
and Okpala Okacha? Let me
reserve my comments. Do you know how messages are written? You will write
today’s message and the subsequent ones till next year. You will take it turn
by turn. I want you to clap for Ndubuisi. My
children, Ndubuisi deserves the clap.
Mgbe I na-agara Nne Mary ozi enekwana
anya n’azu…………(when you are working for mother Mary never look back….).
Nobody remembers this song.
Mama Uche, you don’t know why I have
been looking at you since, but let it be. Where is Peter Agha?
(Absent). It is for you to see. Where is Mrs. Nwokoye?
My children, if you still want to buy the band, you buy it for
yourselves. But remember to bless it, before you start to make use it. In case
I don’t come again; call my priests to bless it for you. If you don’t want to
buy it again, there is no problem. But you have to buy it. You must buy it. How
many apparitions have I begged you of this band? Three! My children
is it because you are not the one used for this work, that you said that
the apparition is fake. If you take it to be fake, come and kneel down here for
hours and just begin to talk to people and do that forty for good times. Or let
somebody write it for you to read out. Why should you speak against my
instrument?
Have I not shown myself to you? Or have you not seen me? What do I
suppose to do for you that I have not done for you? How much have you realized
for the band? Forty four thousand naria out of how
much remaining! Who among you has been admitted to hospital this year? Come out
I would like to see you. Come out let me cure you now? How much did you spend
in the hospital? If I ask you to give that amount to me now, will you give it
to me? But what the aja nso
cures you is far more than what the doctors can cure you in any known
hospital in the whole world.
How much do you give for the testimony? The ten, ten naira! What
of the offertory, torn -five naria! And then for the
band lunching you give five hundred naira and two hundred naira; but, you take
my aja nso free
of charge.
If you are sick, come here and pray; go with my aja
nso you will be cured no matter the type of
sickness, even if it is AIDS. I say it emphatically today that the aja nso can cure
AIDS. I the mother of God have said it. Let any AIDS patient test and see. My children, what do I
suppose to do for you that I have not done for you (2 times).
Where have I wronged you? What don’t I do for you as a good mother? What again
do you want me to do for you my children? I am begging you please, my children
please. Am I to kneel down for you? Stop insulting me.
My hands are clean for you! Don’t push me to do what I don’t want
to do. Or do you prefer suffering? Have I ever called out any of you here to
insult him or her in this apparition? Why do you insult me yourselves? I came
down out of my goodwill for you. I sing for you sweet songs from my heart
everyday I come. What again do you want me to do for you? You promised me of
band and refused to bring out money to purchase it. My Children (2 times)
please! (9 times) I have been kind to you but it seems that you don’t want it
that way. I bless the elderly women here. My children I never knew that I am important
to you (3 times) so I am important to you? (Yes, Mummy).
When you see me you believe. So if you don’t see me you will not
believe. You speak against me too much. I can’t over look it again. I will
punish everyone according to his sin (the pilgrims ask for forgiveness). For the sake of my
anointed priest, I have forgiven you. Do you know what it means to be an
ordained priest? It is because I understand what it means that I forgive you
because of them, otherwise, I would have left you and
gone, since you don’t merit it. I have forgiven you because of my anointed
priests but you will buy band for yourselves which you will be using on
apparition days etc..
(After the donation) My children, is it because I told you
that I will go? So you love me. If love me, I would like the mothers to sing
for me.
Obu onye ga akpo mama
nne oo……..( Who will be called mama, mother ….)
When you go to August meeting to display your fashion and design
and the holy mother continues to wear one blue and one white. If your children
don’t buy you clothes for the August meeting you will feign sick and stay back.
You will cover yourselves very well that you have acute malaria. My children do me favour that I may spread my hands of blessings to you. I am
now happy with you. I am happy. Do you want me to come again? Yes! I will come
again.
My children, if I leave you where will I go. My children do you
know that you are my beloved. I love you all. Are you happy now? I said that I
would stay with you today till daybreak that you may see me and I see you too. My children let me now
go (the pilgrims insisted that she sings for them). Will I be singing
for you all the time? ( Yes, Mummy).
Mary muo o o o, onye
