He said: "This is what an African woman in America does to her husband. As soon you take them to America; as soon as our African woman discover their right in the constitution of that country, they use it against their husband. Is it a sin to take your wife to America like Yemisi my former wicked in-law who became a thorn in the flesh of her husband? For there to be a revolution, a man needs to kick against the system.
"Revolution! Revolution! That is what has happened. She was the reason I left the ministry of my brother after she poisoned me, but God did not kill me. She poisoned my brother too, brother Joshua Iginla, but God did not kill him too because she wanted to get her way to all the assets of my brother.
"I became her primary threat and other members of my family so she went ahead to say lots of rubbish about me, also using my weakness against me. A woman who lied to her husband that she was told that I wanted to kill him and take over his ministry just because she wanted me out and she succeeded driving me out of the ministry after much frustration in ministry under my brother's ministry all because of this evil woman. There are lot of stories which I will not want to go into.
"A woman who does not want to see any of my family members visit her home but want her family to be cared for by all means by my brother. She creates war at home and makes the home unbearable for the husband to stay. She was always advice by her junior sister Bunmi who was ordain by my brother.
"My brother has been liberal to her family. Every member of her family has a house and a car from my brother. Brother Joshua Iginla was always used as a tool to enrich her family. The members of her family will always make request from her which she will always bounce at my brother with anger that my brother must do her wish.
"I have prayed that God will remove her the way she removed me from my brother's ministry after working with him before she was married. I give God all the praise that all these are happening because it is an answer to prayer for me and my family.
"When she drove me out of her former's husband ministry, she then told my brother to train his own brother to be a pastor my brother decline that became a war at home again. My brother was not happy I left after all the frustration, so he said since you drove my brother out of my ministry your own sister too pastor bunmi will also go.
"Mind you pastor Bunmi the younger sister to Yemisi was the formal P.A to my brother. She put her there but guess what none of my family member was handling any sensitive position I was the only one in ministry with my brother in my family. In fact, I was posted far away to Imo state Owerri.
"Nothing to show for my life. Then I was suffering while her sister was enjoying in the office as the P.A to my brother. Unknown to my brother that she was used as a spy on him and informant. When my brother discovered it, he removed pastor Bunmi and he put pastor Seun as his P.A
"Then the battle began. She fought my brother and started making the home a fire and brimstone (hell) because of these change. My brother has been a very patient person to her but she likes fighting and creating scenes. Ladies and gentlemen, marriage is not by force but by choice, we don't marry to die but to live.
"Me as a man before I became a man of God , I cannot take half of what my beloved brother took from her. From every indication she does not love her former husband brother Joshua Iginla. Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of me and my family, we welcome Stella Bamalaga into the Iginla family."
