UK ENVOY BLASTS TB JOSHUA OVER AIRASIA CRASH PROPHESY
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."
