On The BBC Documentary On TB Joshua… by thankless(m): 3:02pm On Jan 11
Kolawole Olawuyi of blessed memory was a through bred Nigerian investigative journalist who was host of the defunct popular programs “Iriri Aiye” and “Nnkan Nbe” which he anchored on Radio Nigeria Ibadan, OGBC 2 FM and independently, for years, in those days.


As far back as 1996, Kolawole Olawuyi had done an in-depth and very expository report on the late TB Joshua and his activities, and all these allegations trending today on the BBC documentary, were subject of discuss then, in his investigation. Guess what, the authorities removed his program from air and swept all the accusations under the carpet, till he died in 2007.

How many people today, except those like me who like to dig up stuff or read wide, know anything about Kolawole Olawuyi how much more the result of his investigation on TB Joshua?


You see Nigerians eh, many of us are not only very gullible, but we are also as intellectually lazy as we are morally bankrupt, emotional and many more have very short memories. Haba! That is why you hear some today blabbing stuffs like, why didn’t the BBC release the documentary when the man was alive, why hasn’t the BBC done documentaries on the atrocities of Britain in Africa etc, as if this in anyway detracts from the realness of the stories of TB Joshua’s victims.…because many of them have not been following the BBC.

Inasmuch as I am not advocating for them, for anyone who follows the BBC, you would notice that they have exposed a lot of stuff, even their own people! In fact, I can even say the little many people know about the activities of the royal family of England, is because of the BBC. They have even exposed some of their own top people too.


Were we not all here when they did a report on sex-for-grades in Nigerian and Ghanaian universities? Did we condemn them then? So, because the report is about one of their gods of men now, a lot of Nigerians are now crawling out of their closets of religious fanaticism.


So, because it is the BBC that investigated TB Joshua, that should automatically detract from the import of the revelation? Yes, I agree that the western media, which BBC is a part of, can be very biased and exhibit double standard in most cases, yes, but this story, is it a lie?


The SCOAN should be ashamed of itself as an organization. If they have the mind, they should sue the BBC and let’s see. They should dare come out and tell us who AJoke in the documentary is!


Instead of sweeping these allegations under the carpet as they have been doing for years, to prove that they are a reasonable church, let them come forward, investigate the issue, and if their founder is found wanting in any way, then the church should repent and offer apologies so that victims can heal. Even the Pope of the great Roman Catholic Church, the late, great John Paul II, came out openly to apologize for the atrocities of the Church, at the turn of this century. So, who or what is SCOAN and Evelyn TB Joshua?


President Tinubu's government should open an independent investigation into the matter, because obviously, after the building collapse in the church in 2014, in which over 100 people died, including 98 south Africans, it became obvious that TB Joshua had many government people in his pocket. And as if to prove this point, then President Jonathan visited the church to condole with Joshua, and before you knew it, the report of the Lagos State corona inquest that recommended prosecuting Joshua and his church leadership, was swept under the carpet. Till date, families of victims are still crying for justice!

From Apostle Suleiman to that Jeremiah in Delta State, Chris Oyahkhilome, the wag Odumejie Indaboski in Anambra, and many more charlatans dotting the Nigerian landscape, there are countless TB Joshuas still on the loose, and because politicians, in sync with these religious leaders have weaponized poverty, countless Nigerians, people who love their chains anyways, continue to flock to their shrines daily. Like I told someone, even if Jesus Christ appears today and told Nigerians he doesn't know these men, still, many Nigerians would not believe him.


From Kolawole Olawuyi’s experience, it is obvious that Nigeria is a crime scene. Nigerians are accomplices to crimes and cover ups; we aid and abet evil. Especially if that evil is been perpetrated by our gods or someone we admire.

Such a Shame.

These pastors are so influential.
They have acquired the brains of people in sensitivity positions all over the country.
For example, it is almost impossible to mess with Adeboye in this current age. Adeboye can commit murder and escape justice easily. His worshipers are everywhere like plagues.
But no matter how long darkness hold, light will eventually come to drive it away.
The days of Adeboye, Chris Oyakilome and many more are numbered, they will all fade away gradually and their disgrace is inevitable.

He’s a criminal. A chronic con artist
And he staged several fake miracles, his hands are dirty.

Na that gentle look them they use scam you people. See Adeboye with his humble look and fatherly voice, that’s the idea, appear in humility yet they are the most evil men in our society today
