TB Joshua under fire for prophesying that Nigeria won’t break up

 

Leader and Founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Temitope Balogun Joshua, popularly known as Prophet TB Joshua, has faced intense criticisms from Nigerians over his prophecy that Nigeria will not experience a break-up.

MuchTalksBlog reports that the development comes after TB Joshua released the video of a prophecy for Nigeria which he gave nearly seven years ago.

Specifically, the prophecy was issued on July 27, 2014.

In the video, TB Joshua had predicted that Nigeria would be covered by a cloud of crisis, murder, killings, destruction. However, he had insisted that the country would not break up.

“Nothing will happen to Nigeria. Nigeria will remain one. Beyond this crisis, Nigeria is beautiful. Your prayer now is that you should witness it so that this crisis will not take you away,” he had told a congregation at SCOAN

However, the popular prophet had warned members of the political class of impending repercussions; even as he noted that they would be made to pay for their part in the crises.

“Huge trouble is coming and no human being will withstand it unless you don’t have hand in that trouble. There is a cloud that covers Nigeria. The cloud of crisis, murder, killings, destruction covers Nigeria. The cloud will go. Nigeria will remain.”

Further, he had railed at those seeking power without applying their conscience.

“Power without peace is powerless. The manner you have that power will determine whether there will be peace in it. The power is in the heart. Not in the gun, not in the White house or Aso Rock. If you are living in the White House without power in the heart, it is like you are living in the bush,” he declared.

“I want to assure you: Nigeria – nothing will happen to Nigeria. Nigeria will remain one!”

MuchTalksBlog reports that the release of the video comes against a backdrop of a significant spike in insecurity in Nigeria; amid concerns over the continued unity of the country. Also, there have been bold and incessant calls for secession by aggrieved people; especially the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

However, a number of Nigerians have tackled the prophet over the prophesy; with many calling him out for not seeing the disaster that led to the death of many at his church a few years ago. The majority of the respondents had taken to the micro-blogging site, Twitter to flay TB Joshua; describing his prophesies as worthless and to be taken with a pinch of salt.
