T. B. Joshua: anointing water led to deaths

Several weeks before the cancellation of last Saturday’s National Assembly elections in Nigeria, Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, had predicted that elections may not hold unless very serious prayers were offered.

In a story published in P.M.NEWS on 16 March 2011 and titled “Pray For The Election To Hold”, the Man in the Synagogue: as TB Joshua is known by his followers, prophesied that only ‘serious prayers will make April (elections) a reality’.

The story reads in part: “With billions of naira already spent by thousands of candidates and many hours invested in campaign trains, a warning by the man who predicted the outcome of the Ghanaian election two years ago may send shivers down the spines of many”.

In the interview to be published in TheNews magazine, TB Joshua said :”About the upcoming elections, I have said many times that I don’t like talking about Nigeria again because all the messages God has given me about Nigeria, nobody has bothered to come and ask me ‘what are you saying? Explain more so that we know the next step to take.

“But, I know that we need a lot of prayers to make April a reality. I said it earlier and you can see what is happening now: bomb blasts all over the place, court cases all over the place and so on. So, like I said, we need a lot of prayers to make April a reality.”

Shortly after the story was published on www.pmnewsnigeria.com, many readers derided TB Joshua’s prediction, calling on him to stay away from politics.

Naubiko, a reader wrote: “These people are the ones killing this country with their obvious statement. Every man knows that the election in Nigeria is not stable and neither is it free and fair. Instead of the so-called religious leaders rebuking these greedy politicians, they rather support them and then subdue the people with their hidden agenda just to boost their pocket instead of telling the truth.”
