This video showing Nigerian Prophet T.B. Joshua predicting impending military intervention in the government of a Southern African country has been circulating like wildfire on social media in Zimbabwe.

The undated video shows the controversial cleric speaking to his congregation at The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) in Lagos, Nigeria about military plans to “get rid of a President in a region of Southern Africa”.

“The military are interested in embarrassing a President - either they kill him or kidnap him,” Joshua says in the clip which has been shared thousands of times on Facebook and WhatsApp.

“They are still having that plan to kidnap either a President or Vice-President of that nation or the First Lady of that nation,” the cleric stated, adding that this would cause “uproar”.

Joshua said he knew the country in question but would not directly name it lest it leads to undue “pandemonium”.

Before events unfolded on Tuesday with the military taking power, the prominent privately-owned Zimbabwean newspaper ‘NewsDay’ featured the prophecy on the front page of their Monday 13th November 2017 edition, claiming Joshua had reiterated the prediction last week.

Online news portal Nehanda TV similiarly shared the video on Monday with the title, ‘Is TB Joshua talking about a Coup in Zimbabwe?’

Since the news broke of the Mugabe’s being placed under house arrest alongside the return of ousted Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa, many have linked unfolding events to Joshua’s proclamation.

“I'm not a fan of 'Prophets' but hate him or love him, TB Joshua had 'seen' this coming,” wrote Zimbabwean Tich Ray on Twitter.

However, Joshua’s official channel ‘Emmanuel TV’ has yet to release any video concerning the prophecy.

This is not the first high profile prediction Joshua has given concerning a Southern African President after the video of him ‘prophesying’ the death of Malawian leader Bingu Mutharika went viral in 2012 and led to an official judicial investigation by the Malawian government.

The age long saying that a prophet is not honoured at home may not be quite peculiar to the Prophet T.B Joshua, founder of the Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) as his people speak glowingly on his socio, religious and economic contribution to the development of his town Arigidi Akoko and the entire Akoko Division of Ondo State, Nigeria.

For historical purposes, Akoko is a division in Ondo State comprising of four out of the 18 local governments that made up the entire Ondo State. The four local governments are: Akoko South-West (Oka), Akoko North-East (Ikare), Akoko South-East (Isua) and Akoko North-West (Oke Agbe). The Prophet came from Arigidi under the purview of Akoko North-West. However, his contribution to the entire Akoko cannot be over-emphasised.

For years, the media has been awash with the contribution of this great Akoko son over his contribution to this region of Ondo State in all human endeavours.

His impact had been felt positively in the areas of education, security, social development among many others. The impact of his contribution was so much that his people could not but be appreciative of what God had used him to do for his community.

Among many reports, electricity was restored to the whole four local governments in the area, after the prophet coughed out N29m Naira. Nine police patrol vehicles were given out after a severe robbery incident took place at Ikare, Akoko – very close to the Olukare’s palace. There is equally an ongoing establishment of a $1b first class university in his native home of Arigidi-Akoko.

It is also on record that many Akoko indigenes have benefitted from his philanthropic gestures, including scholarships and other empowerment programmes. It was in view of all these that the crew of the National Forefront newspaper, led by the publisher, Mr Taiwo Akinrinlola, went to establish the veracity of these claims. For two days, the crew were in all divisions, asking and seeing for themselves. At the end of the two-day visit which lasted between Thursday 19th to Friday 20th October 2017, we were convinced beyond reasonable doubt that all things being said about the prophet’s contribution to his community were not mere fallacy or exaggeration. They were the reality on ground.

The first favour that Prophet T.B. Joshua’s name brought to us was free hotel accommodation, given to us by one of the community’s famous industrialists, Alhaji Semu Semu. When we arrived at his place at 7pm and, in the course of our interview, we asked him to substantiate some of the philanthropic gestures of the prophet, he gave more insight into what was merely written in the news. At the end of our encounter, he was impressed by our initiative to come all the way from Ibadan for this purpose. He gave us free hotel accommodation in one of the best suites of his hotel called Semu Semu Royal Motel in Ikare, Akoko.

National Forefront then spoke with His Royal Majesty, Kabiyesi Akadiri Saliu Momoh, the Olukare of Ikare; His Royal Majesty, Kabiyesi Oba (Dr) Alhaji Yisa Olanipekun Abu, the Zaki of Arigidi (the native town of Prophet Joshua); a community leader, 89 year-old Alhaji Semu Semu, and other indigenes. They all agreed that Prophet T.B. Joshua is – OUR SON, OUR PRIDE.

MY VIEWS ABOUT PROPHET T.B. JOSHUA – ALHAJI SEMU SEMU
Alhaji Semu Semu is the owner of Royal Motel at Ikare, Akoko in Ondo State. He is an industrialist and a philanthropist. His business interests cover sawmilling and hospitality, among many other ventures. He spoke glowingly of Prophet T.B. Joshua of The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) in this encounter with the Pubisher of Natoinal Forefront, Taiwo Akinrinlola at his hotel in Ikare.

Prophet T.B. Joshua is our son, our dear son, born and bred in Akoko here. He came from a very reputable family. He is a philanthropist to the core. He has impacted positively on the lives of both old and young in this community. Widows are not left out. He gives both cash gifts and foodstuffs to them. He participates actively in all the programmes that take place in Akoko here. When we have problems with our light, he donated generously to the restoration of electricity in the four local governments that Akoko is made of. Having paid all the outstanding electricity bills, he thereafter ensured that there is a constant electricity supply. In addition to all these, it is on record that his gestures are spread towards all the nooks and crannies of Ondo State.

We even have it on good record that he wants to establish a Church and University in Akoko here. We encourage him to do so. This will create more employment, especially for our youths here.

One interesting thing about the Prophet is that his generosity knows no religious boundaries. For example, I am a Muslim and I have cause to visit him in his Church at Lagos. His gestures surpass religious affiliations. He has at various times donated generously to the Mosques and he participated financially in all Muslim festivals and other Islamic activities. He has built homes and provided shelter for many people in this community.

My first meeting with him in Lagos was very eventful. He entertained me very well and encouraged me to feel at home. He loves people. My prayer is that God continues to renew his strength.

TB JOSHUA IS GOD’S GIFT TO US – OBA AKADIRI SALIU MOMOH, OLUKARE OF IKARE
National Forefront called on the palace of the Olukare. As soon as we mentioned one of our reasons was to hear the views of the Akoko people about Prophet T.B. Joshua, the monarch put up a smiling face, an expression of approval of our visit. He confirmed to us that he had been with the prophet for a week.

Sir, for how long have you known Prophet T.B. Joshua?
I have known him formally when I was installed in 1985. He came all the way from Lagos that I should accompany him for prayer in one of our schools. Though I am a Muslim, I accompanied him to the prayer because my mind told me that he is a man of God and that God had destined him to be a great man. If Muslims say Allah and Christians say God, we are talking the same. I went with him in my Muslim regalia and at the prayer ground, people were joining him. I only left when the crowd was reasonably large. My mind shays he is a nice person and he is really a man of God. His prayers have divine intonation.

The SCOAN which Prophet T.B. Joshua founded is 30 years old. What are your comments?
Like I said earlier on, right from 1985, my mind told me he is a man of God and that conviction has not changed for whatever reason. I have been visiting him since and I am proud to say that I am now part and parcel of The Synagogue Church. To buttress this, I just left the Church about two days ago where I spent a week with the man of God.

Has the prophet impacted positively in any way to this community – I mean, the entire Akoko division?
The generosity of the prophet is incomparable. No matter whom you are, he is always willing to assist. To our community in Akoko, we could not have prayed for a Divine gift more than Prophet T.B. Joshua. He is God sent to us. He is our pride; he is our son. He has done plenty for us and if I continue to mention them, we might not be able to exhaust everything. That we have constant electricity in Akoko Division now – I mean, the four local governments – is due to his generosity. When we were looking for money to offset the bills, he was the one that paid the N32m required. The same thing goes to the area of security where he provided about nine patrol Hilux vehicles to the security agents.

His footprints are in all areas of human endeavours here. In fact, one of the major reasons for this recent visit was to show appreciation and thank him on behalf of our sons and daughters. As you can see, that my people are gathering for the AJO, my thank you visit to the Prophet is one of the issues that I am going to discuss with my people. God put him in this position and God is protecting him.

What are your words to him?
TB Joshua is our son, our pride. We beg the Almighty God to protect him. He is all over the world. We are grateful to God that God raised him from this community.

THE DAY TB JOSHUA MADE ME PROUD – OBA YISA OLANIPEKUN ABU
Oba Dr Alhaji Yisa Olanipekun Abu is the Zaki of Arigidi, the home town of the renowned Prophet T.B. Joshua. There are news everywhere of the philanthropic gestures of the prophet to his native home in Akoko, Ondo State. In this interview with the Publisher of National Forefront, Oba Abu recalled an incident where he felt proud of the prophet, while extolling his other virtues.

This town, Arigidi-Akoko, is making history through her prominent sons and daughters. What is your take on this?
I am very proud of them. They have made this city proud. They are gradually putting us on the world map. I know most of them. I have a good rapport with them and I thank God for their lives. It will interest you to note that at the religious and tourism level, Prophet T.B. Joshua, our son, is a colossus, an internationally acclaimed man of God. We have many of them like that. I am a very lucky king.

What then are the socio-economic contributions of these individuals to the development of this town?
Their contributions cannot be quantified. Take for instance Prophet T.B. Joshua of The Synagogue Church – he is making waves in religious and tourism development all over the world and this town, Arigidi, his native town, is not an exception. We thank God for what he is doing all over the world. I am very proud of him, especially through Emmanuel TV. There was a day I was coming from Kenya. Inside the plane, I saw people wearing Emmanuel TV t-shirts. In fact, some of them were looking at the way I was admiring them and the special way I greeted them. Basking in the euphoria of this international display, I made them realise I was the traditional king of his native town. You could see the excitement on their faces. I was very proud to be associated with him.

Can you mention some of the things he has done for the community?
Prophet T.B. Joshua has touched this community in all areas. About three months ago, during our traditional Yam Festivals, he gave out over 500 bags of rice to each of the quarters in addition to N2m cash. I am very sure you would have heard how he bailed us, the entire Akoko, from a prolonged blackout to the tune of over N30m. You would equally have heard about his donation of nine Hilux patrol vehicles to the security agents, to secure the security system in Akoko Division in Ondo State.

We have allocated a proposed Divisional Police Station to be built in this town to him for construction. We are equally calling on him to help build a befitting hall within the palace. This we hope to inaugurate alongside the new palace next year. The community have concluded plans to name the hall after him. I am therefore using this medium to thank him very much for what he has done for us so far while imploring him to do more. We all love him.

Lest I forget, about two years ago, the Prophet sent a lot of money to renovate the Okota School and also Ajiroke Grammar Schools. These institutions now wear a new look!

If truth be told, I actually suspect CAN as being among the perpetrators of this evil. They have a long history of speaking against T.B. Joshua and were uncannily silent when the incident at The SCOAN happened. Why is it now – nearly three years later – that they are demanding for an investigation and compensation? Is it because FFK has revealed that it was an orchestrated attack by security agencies and they are afraid they may soon be fingered in his explosive write-ups? This is hypocrisy!

Just read this story online at PM News - http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2015/12/11/tb-joshua-named-2015-yoruba-man-of-the-year/

Controversial Nigerian pastor, TB Joshua of The Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) has been named as the 2015 ‘Yoruba Man Of The Year’.
The honour was bestowed on him by the ‘Egbe Omo Oodua Parapo’, a coalition of 35 Pan-Yoruba groups drawn from across the world.

“We give this award to Pastor Joshua out of over 500 nominees screened by the Planning Committee of the Association,” Dr Akinwale Adewunmi, the Chairman of the award committee said in a statement following the group’s annual conference in United States.

According to Adewunmi, Joshua has added “honour and admiration to the Yoruba nation”, especially through his diverse philanthropic activities.
“We are proud that you are a Yoruba man with a global image in the annals of charity,” he stated, noting that Joshua’s charitable projects span 45 countries and aid ‘millions’ on a yearly basis, irrespective of their religion or ethnicity.

“Pastor Joshua started as a poor boy,” the statement added, acknowledging the cleric’s uncanny rise to prominence from a poverty-stricken home in Ondo State, Nigeria.
“He had no access to education neither did he enjoy any outstanding benefit from his society, yet he built himself. He educated himself and today stands out like a Professor in the greater university of life and living.”

It also cited Joshua’s contribution to improving Nigeria’s image abroad. “Across the world, many ask travellers from Nigeria: ‘Oh, you are From Pastor T.B. Joshua’s country?’ ”

The group noted that The SCOAN was arguably the biggest tourist attraction in the ‘South West’, adding that many foreigners would never have visited Nigeria if not for Joshua’s church.

“We are proud that this generation has produced a Yoruba man, a Nigerian and an African that stands this tall,” the statement concluded.
Intriguingly, T.B. Joshua has not been seen in public since his crusade in Mexico last May, over seven months ago.

The Yoruba people are one of the largest ethnic groups in Africa, constituting over 40 million people worldwide.

Is this commendation merited?

In my opinion, TB Joshua is Nigeria’s best ‘brand ambassador’. Irrespective of religious inclinations, you cannot deny his influence abroad. His YouTube channel alone nearly has 300,000 subscribers!!!

VIDEO: TB Joshua heals snake man

Nigerian Pastor T.B. Joshua has released a controversial YouTube video purportedly showing the healing of a man with horrific snake-like scales across his body.

The clip titled, ‘A Video You Will NEVER FORGET’ shows Mr Jude Oraka from Anambra State, Nigeria, receiving prayer from the popular cleric during a prayer service at The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) in Lagos.

Oraka, a driver by profession, claimed he fell victim to a strange skin disease six years ago which "defied medical comprehension".

Jude’s sister described him as a "walking corpse" whom the family had given up on.

However, several months after receiving prayer, Oraka returned with smooth skin to testify that "he was healed by Jesus Christ through T.B. Joshua".

The clip has already racked up over 100,000 views since its release and attracted hundreds of comments from both skeptics and believers alike.

Joshua is not a stranger to controversy, making headlines this week for not showing up at a court case surrounding the deadly collapse of a building within his church premises last year.

Emmanuel TV, which debuted on DStv and GOtv last month, is one of the most popular Christian television stations in Africa.

It’s YouTube channel has over 265,000 subscribers, making it among the most subscribed Christian channels worldwide.

What do people think? MAKE-UP or MIRACLE

The title and contents of this post are extremely misleading and do not in anyway represent the message of God’s servant T.B. Joshua. You can watch the original video here -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjNWnurCsRM

This was a warning message to the entire world and nowhere did TB Joshua specify a particular region or people. In fact, as an ardent Emmanuel TV viewer, I have NEVER heard the prophet speak about Biafra before.

Please don’t politicise or trivialise spiritual matters for the sake of publicity...

Let’s be VERY careful not to misquote a prophet of God and bring his name into such a contentious issue.

This was a message for the entire world given by T.B. Joshua and he never mentioned a specific region.

I am an ardent Emmanuel TV viewer and have NOT ONCE heard T.B. Joshua address the issue of Biafra.

It’s dangerous to politicise spiritual things!

No single iota of responsibility taken by the Saudi government - not even providing compensation for victims or allowing an independent investigation into what transpired. And Nigeria has just accepted it...

Where are those people calling for T.B. Joshua’s head over his building collapse last year... ?

The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has confirmed that 274 Nigerian pilgrims died in the Hajj stampede, while 44 are missing and two are still receiving treatment in a Saudi hospital.

Dr. Saleh Okenwa, Commissioner Planning, Research Statistic Information and Library Service (PRSILS) of the commission, told journalists on Monday in Abuja the Saudi Arabian Government should be blamed for the commission’s inability to give accurate account of Nigerian casualties in the 2015 Hajj stampede.

Okenwa expressed the determination of the commission to continue to work with relevant stakeholders to account for the remaining pilgrims that died in the stampede.

“This was a year that the Saudi Arabia government did their best to ensure the success of Hajj exercise and safety of pilgrims, but Allah decreed that this will happen,” Okenwa said.

He said that the Saudi Arabian Government was yet to respond to Nigeria’s request to be part of its committee set up to probe the incident.

“Nigeria requested to be part of the committee investigating the incident, but we are yet to receive response from the Saudi authority,” he said.

The Chairman of NAHCON, Alhaji Abdullahi Mohammed, also said that it was the prerogative of the Saudi Government to decide the composition of the committee investigating the stampede.

He said that Nigeria had yet to receive any compensation pledged by Saudi Arabia for the victims of the September 11 crane crash at the precinct of Ka’aba.

According to a report from Nigerian newspaper, ‘The Nation’, up to 10,000 hospitality workers in the Ikotun-Egbe suburb of Lagos State are faced with imminent unemployment.

The Pilgrims Hostels Operators Association of Nigeria (PHOAN) said their troubles in the region are connected to the collapse of a guest-house belonging to The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) last year.

The chairman of the association, Prince Adekanbi Adedayo John, explained: “PHOAN is the biggest employer of labour in this area for over a decade. Our business thrived all these years because of SCOAN’s popularity, which attracted visitors from all over the world to the area. The church’s activities before the incident served as the economic livewire on which PHOAN and other smaller businesses relied on.”

However, since the incident last year, The SCOAN has reduced the number of its church services and no longer attracts the same numbers of foreigners.

To worsen matters, the church’s pastor T.B. Joshua has uncharacteristically been absent from church services and has not been seen in public since his crusade in Mexico in May 2015, fuelling suspicions he may be planning to relocate abroad.

A member of the group, Ozumba Sunny, lamented: “The chances of turning Nigeria into a religious tourist haven have been put on the line by the church’s predicament and this has brought hardship to the people, who earn a living as food vendors, drivers, mechanics etc.”

Their concerns were heightened when Joshua directed that his birthday celebrations last month, which attracted over 5,000 foreign pilgrims to Nigeria in 2014, should rather be held in South Africa and Ghana.

Several new hotels which have sprung up in the area due to the church’s popularity are now struggling to find customers.

The Chairman of the group’s Board of Trustees, Kafaru Aminu, added: “Many of us have been struggling to feed our families and pay school fees in the last one year yet we have huge bank loans hanging on our necks. We are on the verge of losing our investments and the only way this can be averted is if the fortunes of the church improve.”

However, Joshua’s supporters believe his recent absence is due to his being unjustly ‘persecuted’, especially over Nigeria’s handling of the inquest into the building collapse.

Chief Justice Komolafe controversially ruled that the disaster was due to structural defaults, a verdict The SCOAN aggressively denied, insisting it was ‘sabotage’.

“Nigeria, you have enjoyed this grace for too long but still tried to destroy it,” wrote a foreign fan on Facebook yesterday. “Your actions have released TB Joshua to the world. Nigeria will regret the decision of Komolafe for many years to come.”

I ask this question because of the way they are handling the current coroner court case.

Here's a comment I read which quite succinctly summarises some pertinent issues on ground:
I read this rather long comment on a blog which reported the news of TB Joshua's building collapse case and felt it was worth a read:

I am not surprised with those asking if the case is still on - why not! Many were disappointed with the ongoing coroner when the truth we all are waiting for started coming out contrary to the previous media report against TB Joshua. Even the coroner couldn’t believe himself when it became obvious to him that the initial report of the collapsed building from some quarters were all based on assumption and baseless. That was why the coroner gave up in his witch-hunting TB Joshua over nothing.

Most of the media is fully aware of the ongoing coroner but can’t update their readers when noticing that the case has turned around and the truth is now out which God have vindicated his servant as usual. The world has known today that TB Joshua is unstoppable and no amount of hatred and campaign of calumny can impair him rather it improves him more above his enemies.

We can only read things about TB Joshua on the media when the news meant to disapprove him or tarnish his image. But Satan and his agents will always fail. You must not pass along false rumors. You must not cooperate with evil people by lying on the witness stand. (Exodus 23:1)

Hard Rock Construction and Engineering Limited is the name of the company that built the collapsed guest house at synagogue church so you can check on their website for more info. And for those asking whether the collapsed building has government approval and permit. Buildings don’t collapse on papers. Though having the relevant papers is important, they are not reasons for collapsed building. Even government structures with adequate approvals have collapsed in the past.

Well, it will shock you to know that the synagogue church paid over N20 million to the Lagos state government for all that documents before the sudden incident. You will also be surprise with the testimony of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency(NAMA) which is the clear verity of how their office was sabotaged and used to destroy the innocent lives at synagogue on that fateful0 day thinking that the blaming should be on TB Joshua as to tarnish his image. But with the help of CCTV TB Joshua was able to prove them wrong.

Remember that the statutory responders such as LASEMA, NEMA and LASEPA also claimed that they were prevented and assaulted by the church members from carrying out their duties as it was highly reported in the Medias houses which many believed and also rained a lot of curses on TB Joshua.

But the church chief security later produced CCTV to the court which recorded the arrival of the above agencies who came without equipments to save the lives but instead, they chose to lie to the media in order to cover up.

Even the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ikotun Police Station in Lagos Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Haruna Alaba, and his team on ground that tried to ensure adequate security by preventing the hoodlums from taking advantage of the foreigners. He also bears witness of what exactly took place under their watch.

Hard Rock Construction and Engineering Limited is the name of the company that built the collapsed guest house at synagogue church so you can check on their website for more info. And for those asking whether the collapsed building has government approval and permit. Buildings don’t collapse on papers. Though having the relevant papers is important, they are not reasons for collapsed building. Even government structures with adequate approvals have collapsed in the past.

Well, it will shock you to know that the synagogue church paid over N20 million to the Lagos state government for all that documents before the sudden incident. You will also be surprise with the testimony of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency(NAMA) which is the clear verity of how their office was sabotaged and used to destroy the innocent lives at synagogue on that fateful0 day thinking that the blaming should be on TB Joshua as to tarnish his image. But with the help of CCTV TB Joshua was able to prove them wrong.

Remember that the statutory responders such as LASEMA, NEMA and LASEPA also claimed that they were prevented and assaulted by the church members from carrying out their duties as it was highly reported in the Medias houses which many believed and also rained a lot of curses on TB Joshua.

But the church chief security later produced CCTV to the court which recorded the arrival of the above agencies who came without equipments to save the lives but instead, they chose to lie to the media in order to cover up.

Even the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ikotun Police Station in Lagos Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Haruna Alaba, and his team on ground that tried to ensure adequate security by preventing the hoodlums from taking advantage of the foreigners. He also bears witness of what exactly took place under their watch.

Amen!

When is the FG gonna look into all the issues that they are raising?

I agree! Let us all draw closer to God!

TB Joshua says he speaks the mind of God but even if he says today that Nigeria will win the world cup, will people believe him? If they do, its not biblical because the bible says that a Prophet has no honour in his own country. So I think that until the man dies, he will not be recognised as prophet. Nobody really bothered about great prophets of old until they died and I don't think TB Joshua will be any exception. The children yet unborn will pray to see and hear what see and hear in our days

Don't worry, Nigeria is going to win. Put your mind at rest. no need for any Asthma attacks. Just have it in mind that they will win

Just goes to show it ain't over till God says its over!

It's still not too late for Nigeria to make a comeback

Watch out for the Eaglets.

Tell this buffead to go and sit down!

"he shares the benediction during the last church service of the day".

This person is so bad at lying. Everyone who watches Emmanuel TV knows that there is nothing called benediction in TB Joshua's services. The fake fake prophecy comes directly from the mouth of the person who wrote it. This person obviously has nothing better to do or say.

Trini you are just using this to justify yourself so that you won't feel guilty about sleeping with your boyfriend who has probably promised to marry you. Don't deceive yourself. And don't be deceived!
