Travails of the Living Perfect Master
A worried Guru Maharaj ji laments attempts to destroy him
By Chris Anucha

Satguru Maharaj ji, the self-professed Living Perfect Master, is not new to controversies. Since he started his One Love Family in Iju, a surburb of Lagos, in 1984, he and the movement have been through one controversy or the other. Reasons for that are not far-fetched.

Maharaj ji, an indigene of Oyo State and a staff of the Nigeria Airways untll he travelld to india in the late 1970s, returned and declared himself 'God' to the amazement of all, including his peers. He had declared that he was God, claiming that he had taken the form of body and flesh to dwell among men. According to him, he has come to give knowledge to those thirsting for it. In giving this knowledge, he attempts to change the status quo. For instance, the Holy Bible teaches that God's abode is heaven. And that all prayers, requests and praises were made to him alone. But Guru's teachings are to the contrary. To his followers, God is no longer in heaven but in the Satguru Maharaj Ji Village, Kilometre 10, Ibadan-Lagos Expressway, Ibadan. The village, to them, is the highest spiritual Centre of the Universe. Impliedly, God is a Nigerian, he lives among them. This explains, why his followers don't waste time praying to the "unseen God". They direct all their prayers to Satguru Maharaj ji , the 'God' they can see and feel.

Many, especially, Christians, see this as blasphemy. In many Churches, prayers are incomplete without the 'binding and casting of guru, his agents' and followers. But he has remained undeterred.

The State has not spared him either. When General Musa Bamaiyi (Rtd), assumed the leadership of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) during the Abacha era, security operatives became regular guests at the Maharaj Ji village. He had a rough time in the hands of Bamaiyi's men, who severally accused him of dealing in hard drugs, among others.

"It is on the record of the Nigerian authorities, including security agents, NDLEA, the Courts and others, that Satguru Maharaj Ji has been investigated since 1989 and cleared of all such dubious, criminal, junk and trumped-up charges. Among them is the celebrated and cooked-up murder case, which lasted from July 6, 1999, to July 25, 2000, when I was discharged and acquitted by an Ikeja High Court, Lagos State", he recalled.

Of course, some of his travails are traceable to repentant followers, who allegedly flee the village only to rebel against some of the activities of the religious sect.

"Somebody did it before and was jailed because he said that somebody sent him to do that", Maharaj ji said, not giving the name of the person.

At a media briefing in the village last week Tuesday, he, specifically tried to debunk allegations reportedly made by one Mr. Steve Alachenu, a former devotee and member of the One Love Family.

Alachenu, who was quoted in an exclusive interview in the New Treasure Magazine, captioned, "My untold Story in Guru's Den", naratted how his friend, Segun, from Ogbomoso, Oyo State, facilitated his membership of the religious sect. He also revealed the dehumanising and harrowing process of initiation, which, he claimed always end in the death of some of them.

"In my own time, we were 73 in number, 33 males, 40 females. I think, about four of them were pregnant. During the process, all of us were completely unclothed- both males and females, young and old. No pant, no underwear, no bra, everybody were completely unclothed", Alachenu allegedly told the New Treasure in its special anniversary edition of April 29, 2002.

"Yes, people died during the fire-house initiation. We were 73 in number but at the end of the initiation, we were remaining 68, two men died while one lady died. Out of the four pregnant women, two died. In most cases, when somebody dies there, they cut open his chest, remove the heart, the liver and kidney. They use it to prepare concoction and people drink it during the initiations and you will not know what you are drinking", Alachenu continued.

A bitter Maharajji, dismissing the claims last Tuesday, said since members of the One Love Family don' t eat meat, the allegation was untrue.

"We don't eat meat in this place. We are vegetarians, so, his claims are baseless", he said.

But from close observation of him on Tuesday, as baseless and untrue these allegations may seem to Satguru, not even the allegation of the killing of a Ghanaian, which led to his incarceration in Ikoyi prison, for several months, appears to have disturbed him as the Alachenu's allegation.

"I am deeply crying in my heart", he told journalists at the press conference.

He described Alachenu as a faceless liar hired to cause disaffection among members of the public and the One Love Family. The recent onslaught on his person and his group, he said, was the handiwork of those he described as forces of darkness in the religious groups, serving as stooges of Western imperialists, particularly the American CIA and their European counterparts, who he argued, were displeased with the progress Nigeria was making.

While claiming that the One Love Family does not know Alachenu, he wondered why he failed to give Segun's surname and waited for six years after his purported death before opening up on it.

Beyond Alachenu and the New Treasure's story, Maharajji said he has changed the lives of so many people, including, politicians, businessmen, kings and other citizens in Nigeria and beyond.

"It is our belief that the publishers of the damned edition of the New Treasure are paid agents of some faceless secret organisations, like the American CIA and others like them, masquerading as religious and political groups in Nigeria, in their calculated misadventure to rob Nigerians, Africans and indeed, the human race of this special grace", he said.

He called on the Inpector-General of police, Mr. Tarfa Balogun, Lagos and Benue States Commissioners of Police to, as a matter of urgency, and in the interest of fair play and justice, arrest the acting editor of the New Treasure, Sonde Abbah, the reporter, Ganiyu Olowu, who purportedly wrote the story, and Mr. Steve Alachenu and conduct a thorough investigation into the matter to get to the root of it all.
