Agbala Gabriel published on his Facebook page his over 40-minute interaction with the returning academic.

The cleric’s post was captioned:

“He spent 48 years in Canada without NOTHING.

“HE IS BACK HOME WITH NOTHING.

“NO WIFE.

“NO CHILD.

“NO HOUSE.

“He needs our HELP.

⁨”0705 490 0751.”⁩

Speking with the preacher, Amos, who claims he is the first professor of heuristic education in the world, recounted how he first returned to Nigeria in 1995 when he was appointed a minister.

“I was a senior special adviser to Brigadier Tunde Idiagbon (Commander of 4th Battalion of the Nigerian Army from August 1965 to February 1966) on secret intelligence information,” he said.

Professor Amos said he is an author and lecturer and wrote the book Nigerian Encyclopedia. He noted that he had married earlier but his wife passed away without a child for him.

The professor and cleric mostly communicated in Yoruba.
