OSUNTOKUN BOMBS KASHAMU, ALLISON-MADUEKE AND JONATHAN

By Akin Osuntokun

At a slightly refined level, the one and only Allison-Maduekwe, who bestrode the petroleum resources like a colossus (to borrow the Nigerian parlance) conclusively proved herself a most devastating liability to Jonathan very much in the manner that the biblical femme fatale Delilah pulled down the mighty Samson.

REVEALED!!! TB JOSHUA'S SOURCE OF STRENGTH AND GOOD HEALTH.

LAGOS, NIGERIA, JANUARY4, 2014. At the Synagogue Church of All Nations this afternoon, the world renowned Evangelist, Prophet TB Joshua again stunned his audience by revealing that over the years he had taken water in the wee hours of the day, at midday and in the night as remedy for most of the ailments troubling mankind.

TB JOSHUA'S NEW YEAR MESSAGE RESONATES AROUND THE WORLD

Citizens of the world waiting for a midnight of dumbfounding predictions were wowed on New Year Day when the world renowned televangelist and prophet, TB Joshua welcomed his millions of church members into 2015 in the early hours of Thursday. This time around, his message was a direct difference from that of many other church leaders around the world. Rather than be greeting one another happy new year, Joshua urged the congregants who thronged the sprawling headquarters building of the church in Ikotun, Lagos Nigeria to thenceforth greet one another "Good Morning." It turned out to be a deliberate and symbolic way of attuning the minds of the church members to a new dawn of blessings that, according to the man of God, would come the way of the faithful in 2015. So if you meet a synagogue member greeting you "Good Morning" in the afternoon or the dead of night, don't be shocked, it is their way of telling you that the freshness of life will be with you throughout the new year.

TB JOSHUA'S PREDICTION ABOUT INDONESIAN PLANE COMES TRUE

In mid-2015 Prophet TB Joshua predicted the crash of the Indonesian plane and warned the Indonesians that there should be fervent prayers to avert disaster.  He particularly mentioned the country and he asked the nation to pray. Well, looks like the Indonesians ignored the warning!!! Or what do you make of this? On the 28th of December, the unthinkable happened when an Indonesian Air Asia Airbus 300 series plunged into the Java Sea, killing all 156 passengers and crew on board. While The Lagosian sincerely sympathizes with the victims and families, we cannot but wonder if this is not another sad tale of a doomed sheep refusing to heed the warning of its owner.
