Chaos. Incompetence. Lies. As the first full picture of the horror of the Nigerian church collapse surfaces, South Africans are left wondering how many lives could have been saved if Pastor TB Joshua's church and Nigerian authorities had co-operated fully in rescue attempts.

So much in the form of respect for a newspaper that headlines JLo's butt.

The Onus is on LASG to file charges against Prophet TB Joshua.

and you got attracted to JLo's butt instead of focusing on the main headline? That's Sunday Times of South Africa we are talking about!

You are also waiting but you failed to also reference the pic below . . .

So ?

This is one area I respect the Tinubu's administration as regards the Justice System of Lagos State. When Emeka Ezeugo aka Rev King was alleged to have had in hand in the murder of his church member and another attempted murder, despite his popolarity and "god" status his followere accorded him(still accords him), he was arrested and prosecuted in 2006. He was convicted in January 2007 despite that there was election around. Today he's awaiting the hangman courtesy the "no nonsense prosecutors" under Bola Tinubu. Fashola must learn from his Predecessor and act now and fast!!! Otherwise, I will classify him as clueless and incompetent.

I am just questioning the credibility and seriousness of "The Times".

Comes across as a cheap tabloid that should be ignored.

No need flashing butts on their front page.

That's all.

Jmain:

So ?

and you don't care to know about what this incident can cause in the nearest future? You don't know there are Nigerians living in SA? You do not fear for Xenophobic attacks on Nigerians? You are asking me "so"?



If you're gonna respond to me foolishly,do not quote me!

weekend stories of newspapers always have celebrity stories on their front pages. What's so special about JLo's butt flashing the FP of the newspaper?

Rawani: Fashola should not allow himself to be ridiculed by these Saffers by foot-dragging on this issue.

Up till today we have not heard nor read any official statement from the LASG to know government position and their next line of action. I am begining to assume that Gov Fash is somewhat overrated. The amazing aspect is that Fashola is supposed to be a Senior Lawyer/SAN

Dude raised a valid observation of his and all you could do is justify your points that it is an SA newspaper. How did that erase the valid issue of an irresponsible pic on the FP of the referenced paper . . . .

If you feel so pained that I quoted you , then am very sorry, I will quote anyone I deem fit and that includes you . . .

P:S ==> The concern you raised about a xenophobic attack on Nigerians is plausible, but that will be going too far for the SA citizens and authorities cos they know the drill . . . .

Save yourself the info, I have read it a couple of times.

Remember "News of the world" in UK?
Well it was about the most popular and widely circulating English language newspapers in the world founded in 1843, but they were still involved in shady phone hacking deals.

It is not about how big, old or popular but the content and reportage.

The account of a Journalist here on NL on how the rescue teams and the journalist were treated and the shocking revelation by another Journalist by name Nicholas about how they offered 50000naira and a video tape to pervert story about the collapse incident left much to be suspicious about. I think the state government should conduct a thorough investigation to that incident without compromise.

barcanista: The Onus is on LASG to file charges against Prophet TB Joshua.

I agree. But you need to know that once anything involves foreign affairs it becomes a matter for the president. Besides we're talking about the death close to 100 people. The FG has a duty to step in. After all, the FG controls the police and the police is yet to cough in this matter. You saw what happened in Fergusson - the city administration, then the state, the federal government came in. This is a matter of far bigger magnitude. Jonathan cannot pass the buck here. He reserves the right to ask the AFG to take over and investigate the matter. If Fashola feels too timid tackle Joshua Abuja should not be.

chibwike: why havent the govt taken action over the incident are they afraid of tb joshua. Fashola is overrated abeg.

nigeria government if it were to be a smaller church without popularity it would be shut down by now and d pastor probably be in detention.

Have a nice day!

My friend, this is a laughable excuse. This is a pure Lagos State offence and has nothing to do with Federal or Foreign Relations. What SA govt need is justice and it is within the powers of LASG to handle this case. This is not the first and won't be the last State offence. Pls keep your Ferguson or Moyes american case, we are talking of Nigeria and Nigeria laws. Fashola has disappointed me and some of his supporters. He is proving to be incompetent and clueless like Jonathan!!!

point of correction, the government here is the LASG and not the FG. This is absolutely a Lagos State offence

*Sigh*
So if a crime is committed and Lagos State fails to act, the FG should leave it at that? As for the functions of the attorney-general, the similarity between our federal constitution and that of the US, and the international angle to this, I see all that is above you. Carry go abeg. Na you biko.

berem: Who told you that?

This is a prima facie case of involuntary manslaughter contrary to Section 222 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State

What is the function of Lagos State Attorney General? My friend stop citing the USA laws here and focus on Nigeria laws. Is Nigeria an extension of the USA? Beside take a look at Section 222 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State

I think so. It would certainly have been shut down.
