Founder and Senior Pastor of Daystar Christian Centre, Sam Adeyemi, has aired the reasons behind his relocation from Nigeria to the United States.
He said this during a virtual interview with Seun Okinbaloye on his program ‘Mic On’ podcast, where the duo discussed Leadership Beyond Governance Politics and the Role of the Younger Generation in Nigeria.
Earlier this year, Adeyemi explained why the older generations of Nigerians must put their act together and make Nigeria work.
He said it was important for the older generations, including the political and religious leaders, to retrace their steps and get the country working because the younger generation would soon begin asking questions.
Adeyemi ]disclosed that COVID-19, EndSARS protests, and notably, troubling dreams about Nigeria, prompted the relocation.
He said “when COVID-19 started, all our children were in the US, so everyone stayed with their families. We stayed with our children. The week services resumed was when EndSARS started, so we were preparing to return to Nigeria.
“When the EndSARS protests ended in violence, we stayed back a bit. When we were ready to return to Nigeria, a different experience altogether happened.

“My wife had a dream in which she travelled to Nigeria and returned to the US, which was a bad dream. I told her I wouldn’t say I liked this dream.
“Three days later, I had a dream. We both travelled to Nigeria in my dream, and I was in a big fight. I was being attacked violently, and I had to ask the Holy Spirit in my heart what to do.
“He said I should call the name of Jesus Christ. I shouted ‘in the name of Jesus Christ’ in the dream and didn’t realize I shouted out loud in real life.
“My wife woke me up at 2:00 a.m. by hitting me and asking what was going on. We decided to take it seriously, especially considering a dream we had three days earlier.
“We prayed fervently, sensing danger. Three hours later, I fell back asleep and had another dream. We were in Nigeria this time, and I was in a fight,” he added.
The president of Success Power International, an NGO that specializes in organizing leadership, financial, and motivational seminars, noted that whenever he and his wife set dates and booked flights to return to Nigeria, he would have a bad dream about something terrible happening to him there.
He stated that he had never experienced two dreams about the same event in one night.
“A few days later, we called family members in Nigeria, and one person said, ‘I’m feeling very uncomfortable about you travelling to Nigeria.’
“We called another family member who said ‘I feel uncomfortable about you coming.
“What is going on?’ We just turned and looked at each other, pondering the situation
“And at that point, we called a meeting of all the leaders in Daystar Christian Centre—the top 120 leaders on Zoom,” he added.
The President of Success Power International noted that he informed the elders of Daystar about the situation, and they agreed to keep the church running.
“They said you’ve never deceived us before. If God asks you to stay, stay as long as He directs. We’ll continue this journey,” he asserted.
