Why They Should Have Lived: Lessons from Lincoln, My Cousin, and the Secret of Power
Some deaths should never have happened.
Some tragedies were avoidable — not by luck, not by chance, not even by prayer alone or mere affirmations but by understanding the universal laws of life and destiny.
That principle is what I call the Secret of Power.
Abraham Lincoln and the Dream of Death
History books tell us Abraham Lincoln was assassinated at Ford’s Theater in 1865.
But few know he foresaw his death in a dream — three days before it happened.
He dreamt of walking through the White House, hearing sobs. Entering the East Room, he saw a coffin guarded by soldiers.
“Who is dead?” Lincoln asked.
A soldier replied, “The President.”
Looking closer, Lincoln saw himself in that coffin.
Lincoln told his bodyguard but dismissed it. Days later, he was shot.
The lesson? Signs come before disaster. But signs alone don’t save you — only the right principle does.
My Cousin, Alex Jr.: A Modern Tragedy
This law is not just for presidents — it applies to ordinary lives too.
My cousin, Alex Jr., was a vibrant, generous young man in Nigeria who finally secured a stable paramilitary job.
Weeks before his death, he dreamt of himself lying in a pool of blood. He told his family.
Two weeks later, the dream became reality — he was murdered in the line of duty at only 35.
Like Lincoln, Alex had a warning. But he didn’t have the system to overturn it.
The Secret Behind Life and Death
Stories like these reveal a truth most people ignore:
- Death is not random. It announces itself through dreams, omens, or inner promptings.
- Humans are not powerless. We are too great to be destroyed unknowingly — unless we permit it.
- Evil thrives when good people neglect hidden universal laws.
The Secret of Power is one of those laws.
It explains why some survive what others cannot, and why some destinies end prematurely while others rise higher.

And I have seen the opposite: countless good people — leaders, family members, visionaries — falling to untimely deaths simply because they did not know, or did not apply, this law.
This is why I teach it — not as theory, but as a proven system.
Why You Need This Secret
Ask yourself:
- Why do some people survive deadly accidents, while others don’t?
- Why do dreams and warnings come — yet tragedies still happen?
- Why do prayers sometimes fail to stop evil?
The answer: knowledge of the universal law that governs life, death, and destiny.
That’s the Secret of Power.

Abraham Lincoln should have lived.
