UK Envoy Lambasts TB Joshua Over Airasia Crash Prophesy by Nobody: 7:47am On Dec 30, 2014
The founder of the Synagogue Church of all Nations,
Prophet Temitope Joshua, has claimed that he saw a
vision of the disappearance of a Singapore-bound
AirAsia plane days before the incident
.

The AirAsia Flight QZ8501, which had 16 children and
146 other passengers and crew members on board,
was said to have disappeared from the radar in
Surabaya, Indonesia on Sunday.
Following the disappearance of the passenger plane,
SCOAN released a video on its YouTube page, in
which TB Joshua accused Indonesia of failing to heed
its earlier warning.

“I have a message for the nation, Indonesia. This
country, Indonesia – I don’t know what is happening.
They should pray for Indonesia. That is, the nation
Indonesia. When it comes to this disaster issue, I don’t want to mention it. It looks so nasty to me to
mention – a situation where it will cost a lot of lives,
suddenly.
“This is a crash. Why should this continue to happen
there? I think there is a nature – a geographical
atmosphere. There is something there that they
should look into,” TB Joshua stated in the video
sermon which the church claimed had been shot days
before the plane’s disappearance.

The church added that on its YouTube page that in
spite of the Indonesia’s failure to look into the
“geographical atmosphere,” TB Joshua and his
followers had begun praying “that God would
strengthen the family members and friends of all
those involved in this tragic incident.”
But the British High Commissioner to Ghana, Jon
Benjamin, urged the general public to dismiss TB
Joshua’s claims.

“But he couldn’t prophecy his own church collapsing,
killing over 100?” Benjamin, a British foreign service
officer of 28 years, who has simultaneous diplomatic accreditationto Togo, Benin and Burkina Faso, said
via his Twitter page.

Apart from the UK diplomat who carpeted TB Johsua
over his claims, an online outrage trailed his
prophesy.
A Black Briton, based in Croydon, United Kingdom,
Melody Badza-Chinouriri, lambasted for claiming to
have foretold the air disaster.
Badza-Chinourir said, “I will never run to a man who
does not even own up to the disaster he failed to
avert at his backyard. He even blatantly refused to
attend the coroner inquest despite repeated
invitations. No accountability whatsoever.
“I hope Nigeria will wake up and arrest him this time
round. He is putting that country on the spot for
wrong reasons. Let him prophesy all the killings happening in Nigeria. Many people have died in
Nigeria than Indonesia. You have a prophet; why are
you perishing then in Nigeria?”
A respondent on Lawyer Omegad queried the
credibility of the said video, adding that TB Joshua’s
controversial prophecies were useless as they had
over the years failed to redeem lives.
“How come we are only seeing this so-called
prophesy today? It’s obvious the video was posted
many hours after the plane has already gone
missing. I doubt this because God revels to redeem,”

Omegad said.
Another online activist, Emeka Martins, said, “Indeed
most Nigerians are gullible. Why should they believe in prophesies of end-time fake pastors. TB Joshua
should explain to the court what led to the death of
those people in his synagogue. Why did he not
prophesy his own calamity?”
While other online commentators taunted the
clergyman strings of prophecies, some Nigerians
challenged him to foretell the day in which the
abducted Chibok girls would be freed by the
fundamentalist Islamist sect, Boko Haram.
“We don’t want to know which disaster is next, we
want a prayer that will bring the Chibok girls back
home,” a respondent, Samuel David, wrote on
SCOAN’s YouTube page.
However, TB Joshua’s followers rallied round him,
fending off criticisms of what they described as his
divine calling.
A Malawian, Elsie PembeKumwenda, insisted on
Facebook that the cleric is God sent, saying, “Prophet
TB Joshua is doing what no one can do today.
Whatever he prophesises comes to pass, yet we don’t
believe him. We usually regret our actions when it
(tragedy) happens. May God give our prophet more
of his grace.”

Useless information.
Of what value is the prediction if it can neither be prevented nor averted?

He has prophesied and asked for more prayers.....
He spoke about the atmosphere and advised we pray over that region. Am not a fan but things are happening and definitely will be foolishness to "some people"

Will you people refrain from saying 'most Nigerians' or 'Nigerians'? What kind of a silly sweeping statement is that? Nigeria has how many people? How many worship in T.B Joshua's church? Are the few Nigerians that worship there the only ones that believe him, are there not other nationalities too?
