georgecso: Pastors are not infallible

ghananotnaija: Knowing how the vast majority of Nigerians are spineless, superstitious, and reluctant to engage any critical thinking whatsoever, TB Joshua will not be found guilty of anything, and will make more money than ever before through SCOAN which will flourish as before. SMH for humanity.

jigabanty: Until you listen with an unbiased mind and also carefully to this audio, you won't get the message. T.B Joshua did not bribe the journalists. Don't forget he is a cheerful giver, he gives freely and on any slight occasion that warrants it. He gives stipends to people that visit on official purposes. I have also carefully listened to the audio. It is clear that he is as usual giving as he always gives people money, food and free gifts. Even the injured South Africans each were given R2000 on flying back home, was that also bribery? If you were a public figure and journalists came to your office for questioning or interview or whatever, its normal and polite for you to give them transport allowance now, not even when you are a philanthropist.
I heard T.B Joshua mentioned the police have their job to do, he said he doesn't want to say anything that will intervene or influence their investigation. He also told them he has said all he wanted to say in the church and asked them what other thing do you want me to say when the questioning was too much. He asked the journalists what they want to write and did not tell them anything to write. Please listen carefully to the audio before reacting. Our journalist Nicholas Ibekwe could only be an attention seeker. And its definitely working for him but only with the gullible minds

I was kidding about that part na

He did good.
Better if his motives were pure.

Where you been sef?

Stelvin101:

Sure I did learn one or two important point from your views. Emm my turn asking, what do you do for a living cause my mind is telling me you are a lawyer

zappyj:


I am Igbo but trust me you are a big fooool for making ur last comment before this and even repeating it again with this,how will this country change with people like you? Sincerely, if you want to start arguing about whose tribe is more honest, I would give it to the hausas, I would do 10 transactions with an Alhaji than do 1 with an Igbo man and that's fact but saying it is totally unnecessary cos what we yearn for is change.

Have you forgotten the pack of dollars returned by an aboki lately? Would our Igbo bro do that?? So don't even go there @ all n just work on your silly mindset. Idiots like u make me really sick of NL

50pseamer:

you can only sweep what has not been in the media under the feet, and if you are saying that if i get orders from you to repair your faulty car, as a trained mechanic and i am to be paid for it, then i burn your car including people inside the car whilst i am still working on the car, it is your fault and are you the bad guy.
This issue is not as serious as the journalist is shouting about it, when he was giving money to help footballers that made Nigeria proud no condemnation, but now he gave to visiting journalist and people are making the issue as if he committed murder and the journalists are the Judge in the court of law, if 50,000 will buy the conscience of any journalist then we need to think again. to the giver 50,000 could be a change, but the receiver might have a tiny mind to think its money to buy his conscience, lets leave God to Judge so that we will not also be wrongly Judged as we jugded others

Kasynpaulsyn1997: you are just plain silly! Go eat,dance and live with the northerners! Monkey,igbo wannabe like you!

One nigeria my ass,stop the pretence boy,it sucks!

Don't be naïve, missy. What's done is done.

What would you have him do, by the way? I am not against the journalist doing his job, neither am I against TB Joshua trying to cover it up. He is trying to do some damage control and I don't see what all the noise is for.

Its a dog-eat-dog world out there, and the sooner you realise it, the better it will be for you.

exxell: @Nicholas, I dont really know what your motive is but all I can tell you is kudos and more greas to your elbow. I loved the part where you said if it was the Pope you will still come out with the story.... I used to love TB Joshua even though am a Catholic. Even when I listened to the Audio and I knew it was a bribe (though not implicitly stated in the audio); I still decided to "deceive" myself and convince myself that its not a bribe but one of his generous gimmicks.... But what really troubled me in the audio was the way people were laughing in the audio... The MOG included. I was so suprised. Were peoples lives that trivial that he had to be laughing at that moment in time? I leave judgement to the boss in the sky!

ur a mumu bringing tribalism into this. you are one of the many problems of Nigeria

yorke1: Touch not my anointed and do my prophet no hurt. Enough said!

mcro1:

Ordinarily being thousands of miles away from Nigeria (and in a land where commonsense is taken for granted) would have given me a consolation for escaping the abnormalities that have been a matter-of-course in my fatherland. Alsa, i still find myself peeping in on the country once in a while to see if any good news may come from that country. Nigeria has lost it from time immemorial. The possibility of the present generation finding 'it' deems by the day. Just imagine how some of the posters above stand logic on its head. How unfortunate. In the recording that i listened to, people were even laughing as if it was a kind of a merry gathering, as if it was not a matter that caused the untimely, unnecessary and avoidable death of over 80 people!! Habba!! 80 people and not 80 chicken!! But then, the most heinous crime will still find justification with some zombie-like remote-operated 'mumus' that unfortunately constitute the larger percentage of the Nigeria internet users.
I congratulate you Mr Nicholas Ibekwe. Truth be told, i don't have the bravery to do what you just did while I am still in that country. As you might have well known, you are on a collision course with the powers and principalities. My prayers will be on you and your family. May God spare your life and guide your family through this trying period. Maybe because of people like you, the gods may one day reverse their curses on that 'goddamned' country. As for Jonathan and Fashola, they are part of the establishment; nothing good can ever come out of them.
As for the 'gods of men', you may continue to fool your hypnotized zombie followers. But let it be known to you, that the Ibekwes of this world will never be fooled by your fakery. And one by one, your day of reckoning will be a fait accompli.

rudedough: ''Appreciation money'' is not bribe - Pastorpreneur T.B Joshua, 2014.

cococandy: What's done is done.
Yea right.
Like every event is in the same category or level.
No what's done is not done. Not when 90 lives went down for it.

What would I have him do?
Show some respect to the dead and their families.
Show some remorse.
Has he publicly apologized for being irresponsible by adding unlincensed floors to an already existing builing?
Has he given a press release to formally accept responsiblity for this mishap and promise to do his best to help the families of the dead( yes he has the means to).

What would I have him do?
How about he comes down from his egocentric pedestal and accept that he can't be right all the time. That he miscalculated in this particular issue. And stop looking for air planes to blame and anti-TBjoshua people trying to take him down.

How about he stops seeing himself as the victim here and rather the dead as the victim while he was a willing tool in the hands of the devil who took their lives with first his greed and second his refusal to get them help on time when it happened?

Oh. To think that some people who were alive under the rubble died because he was more concerned about his image than letting NEMA take over immediately brings tears to my eyes and sorrow to my heart.

I've said my piece on this issue.
I won't say more.
If(god forbid) should something like this happen to you or someone you love,I hope you'll understand when the owner of the building denies you a chance at life because he's doing damage control.

If this is naivete,I'm glad I'm naïve.

bigheart2013: Story! A nation of lies and tales by moonlight!

I wrote in another thread that I have learned not to pity people in Nigeria when they go through problems. they are mostly petty-minded and apologetic to evil. It's a shame that a nation that has the largest population professing righteousness the worst unemployment, sins, crime, heartlessness, curses, evil, fraud happen in the nation. You cannot do business with anyone there and have peace of mind. Obviously there's no sign that God is near Nigeria. Just self-deceiving religious bigots! Who cares what they think and how they feel about the truth? The entire world already know who we are. Do we think that investors will over-look these negative portraits and invest in Nigeria? Without investor-confidence attracting a sustained growth in the manufacturing sector how will there be employment? Let the Govt keep hiring policemen, immigration officers and security agents to check crime they created, and road-sweepers and call it employment. There's fraud and corruption in every country, the difference in Nigeria is that there's no outrage rather we hail it.

For your information it's corruption and poor value systems that created poverty and unemployment in Nigeria. Both are recipes to crime, social problems and civil wars. We ain't seen anything yet.
