T.B. Joshua: Prophet predicts doom for those behind Synagogue building collapse.

A freelance reporter, Ihechukwu Njoku, has reported that one of Nigeria’s most popular pastors has predicted impending doom in Nigeria.

Founder of Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN),Temitope Balogun Joshua during the usual Sunday sermon on March 15,2015, reportedly predicted that a plane crash within Nigeria is about to happen.

Reports say the live telecast by media arm of the church ,Emmanuel TV, showed the popular televangelist saying, “Pray for Nigeria because I am seeing a plane crash.”

“It’s not a good thing to lose personalities again,” he added, emphasising on the need for fasting and prayers from March 19 - 23.

Concerning the upcoming March 28 elections, prophet Joshua said, “The challenge Nigeria is facing – on the day of voting, when you drop your votes in the ballot box, you will know who is PDP and who is APC. It’s a parable; very delicate. Because everybody plays a game; we deceive ourselves. ‘So this man voted for this party but he’s in that party.’ ”

He also said a dark cloud was hanging over the nation. “The cloud is darker. When it is about to rain, you cannot see in front again,” he vividly described.

Joshua then went ahead to predict doom for those responsible for the September 12 building collapse that killed over 100 people.

Insisting it was an attack, he said, “There must be vengeance concerning what happened here. Both the slaves and masters must pay the price.”

Reports say he stated he was unhappy due to the innocent blood spilled in his church premises and the refusal of those responsible to admit. “God gave me an order that I should continue this work – so I must do it. Nothing can separate me from the work of God but your prophet is not happy. I will be happy when vengeance comes”.

The prophet also prophesied concerning Russia, referring to the recent assassination of opposition leader Boris Nemtsov.

 “I am still seeing the same thing happening – killing of a hero, even bigger than the one that was killed. I am talking in parables. Who could be bigger than the man that was shot in Russia? You should pray for the authority there; pray for the President of Russia,” he said.

The SCOAN founder also told the congregation that he has collected his own Permanent Voters Card (PVC) as a ‘responsible Nigerian citizen’.

He told the congregation that his approach oftentimes did not reflect his citizenship. “I am living as if I am a stranger in my own country,” he said.
