    Marlon Jackson, brother of the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson andmember of the famous Jackson Five is in Nigeria, his second visit this year.Amidst working on a historical development project in Badagry andcampaigning for peace in the troubled Niger-Delta, he took time out to visitT.B. Joshua, the man said to have predicted his brothers death.

    Arriving on Wednesday 22nd July, Marlon explained the major purpose of his visit was tocontinue work on a historical project in the Badagry area of Lagos regarding the Trans-AtlanticSlave Trade. I think its imperative that our young kids and people of the world understandwhat took place, he said, explaining that the project was aimed at boosting Nigerias meagretourism and also preserving African history as a lesson for generations yet to come.

    In view of the ongoing tension in the Niger-Delta, he expressed his intention to work for peacein the region, decrying the fact that the conflict had not attracted the necessary internationalresponse. "We are preparing to meet with government and representatives from the NigerDelta militant groups. And we are coming up with some amicable resolutions that will beacceptable to both parties," he explained.

    Working on various creative projects to bring a peaceful resolution to the troubled area,Marlon advised all to pursue peace and unity, the qualities he said his late brother loved andlived for. "We must understand one thing - that when God created us, He did not create us tobe at war with one another; to judge one another; to rubbish one another, but He created usto love one another, he said, waxing philosophical. If we want to achieve peace, we have tostart spreading love, peace because when you come to the moment when your Creator hascalled you to return home, He is not going to judge you on the material things you acquiredwhile on earth. He is going to judge based on what you have done for others when you wereon earth."

Joshua, perplexed and intrigued at the report of his prophetic insight regardingMichael Jacksons death. After meeting with the acclaimed prophet, he attended some of thedramatic healing and prophetic service, beamed live via Emmanuel TV. Joshua had prophesiedearlier this year that a great star would go on a journey of no return, and then sent apersonal message to Marlon via Tee Mac Iseli on June 12th that his brother urgently neededhealing and deliverance, imploring him to bring the controversial star to Nigeria for prayers.He died two weeks later.

    The loss of the legend still visibly affecting him, Marlon sombrely stated that Michael Jacksonhad intended to visit Nigeria to witness the conclusion of the Badagry project. When we dofinish this project he will not be there physically, but he will be there in spirit," he remarked.

    Quizzed on the circumstances surrounding his iconic brothers death, Marlon did not want tocomment. What I know right now is that I love and miss my brother. He did a lot of greatthings for the world and peace is one of the things we all are striving for, he said.
