ONE YEAR MEMORIAL: T.B. JOSHUA HONOURS VICTIMS AS EXPERTS COUNSEL FG ON SECURITY
Prophet T.B. Joshua and The Synagogue, Church of All Nations are today holding a memorial service for the victims of the September 12, 2014 building collapse in the Ikotun, Lagos premises of the church. Though the service holds in South Africa, there are very strong indications that the man of God has sent a delegation from Nigeria to take part in activities leading to the memorial. Prophet T.B. Joshua has maintained that the deceased, mostly South Africans, were on an appointment with God when they met their death and therefore believes that they did not die in vain.
Meanwhile, months after a Lagos coroner had passed is verdict calling for the prosecution of the contractors that handled the building of the collapsed structure, experts have warned that the government might have been chasing shadows rather than focus on the real issues that led to the tragedy. They observed that the way the building collapsed questions the security consciousness of the government, especially in an era when terrorism is becoming highly scientific and sophisticated. A combatant captain and blasts specialist in the late General Adekunle-led 3rd Marine Commandoes during the Nigerian Civil War, Michael Oyediran who spoke from his Felele, Ibadan residence said that he was alarmed at the September 12 incident and how government inquest handled the matter: “Considering the evidence of those engineers and the scientist, I became very worried because infrasound implosion was used in my time during the Nigerian Civil War”.
Also speaking on the collapse Rtd Capt. ‘Tele Olagundoye, also of the 3MCO, said in retrospect: “…I watched the collapse of that building on Youtube. The way it collapsed brought back memories of some of our operations during the Nigerian Civil War and made me fear that terrorism has gone deeply scientific. Now seeing the way government is ignoring dangerous signals and chasing after shadows makes me worry that insurgents may have penetrated and tested the ground of Lagos successfully and the authorities don’t know yet”. It would be recalled that the DSS recently arrested some Boko Haram commanders in certain areas of Lagos. It would also be recalled that a Boko Haram member had come to The SCOAN to confess the group’s failed plans to bomb the church. According to the insurgent who spoke on Emmanuel TV, they would have carried out their evil plan but for divine gifts of the man of God who kept appearing to him in his dreams. In spite of all those ominous signs, government treated the whole development with kid gloves until the unfortunate incident happened.
Even though the coroner has since passed its verdict, some observers believe that it failed to consider certain important evidences such as that of a geo-technical engineer of over forty years experience, Mr. Afolayan who told the magistrate that the soil under the foundation of the building did not fail. The CCTV footage which showed the building collapse in less than four seconds and the extensive and scientific evidence of an explosive researcher, Mr. Biedomo Iguniwei which suggested that an infrasonic weapon was fire at the church building by the aircraft that hovered around it moments earlier were all discountenanced by the magistrate.
As the memorial for the Martyrs of Faith holds today in South Africa, the entire SCOAN family all over the world join forces to pray for the repose of the souls of their departed.
SOWORE’S OBSESSION WITH PRESIDENT TINUBU, RENO OMOKRI & I.
By Chief Femi Fani-Kayode
I was informed that Omoyele Sowore made references to things I allegedly said against President Bola Tinubu 11 years ago to somehow exonerate himself in the criminal case that he is facing for defamation. He claimed that I said that President Tinubu killed Chief Funso Williams in 2003. This is false. I never said that President Tinubu killed Funso Williams.
What I said was “I am not Funso Williams: I cannot be killed like a chicken”. Those were my EXACT words: nothing more & nothing less.
I said them 11 years ago & I have long since retracted them & accepted the fact that they were not only inappropriate but that they may have also been misconstrued!
It is a measure of how desperate Sowore is that he should be dragging up statements that I made 11 years ago about President Tinubu during the 2015 presidential election campaign which I have long since retracted & withdrawn in an attempt to help fight his case in court.
History records that I was in the opposition PDP at the time (2015) & was the Director of Media & Publicity in President Jonathan’s Presidential Campaign Organisation & a lot of ugly things were said by both sides against one another’s candidates & party leaders during the heat of battle. That is the nature of Presidential campaigns everywhere in the world.
For the record I left the PDP 6 years ago & joined the APC in 2021. Since that time I have supported the party selflessly & perhaps more relevantly I played a key role as Director of New Media & Special Operations in President Tinubu’s Presidential Campaign Organisation in 2023.
Throughout that campaign the record shows that morning day & night both myself & the Directorate of 250 people that I headed spoke & fought for the President & contributed to his victory.
Outside of that for the last two years since he was sworn in as President I have been unwavering in my support for him & have sought to defend him & his Government vigorously. If I had any misgivings about him I doubt I would have done all that. For Sowore to try to rope me or @renoomokri into his matter to justify his despicable behaviour is absurd. Reno may have opposed the election of President Tinubu in 2023 but after the President emerged victorious he has not only retracted all he said about him but he has also fought for him gallantry & defended his policies.
That is what any decent & well brought up person would do when faced with the truth & after he sees the light. Instead of trying to get us involved in his mess I would advise Sowore to do the honorable thing & retract his statements about the President or prepare for jail.
Whichever way it makes no difference to me & I could not care less. Reno, myself & millions of others have taken a stance for Tinubu & no matter how many times he brings up our names in court to justify his asinine comments it will not help him.
I advise him to face his case with decency & decorum & plug his mouth. That is the only way he will escape the net he has found himself in. Reno & I found the right path & walked it. We also had the decency to accept the fact that comments we made years ago against the President were not only inappropriate but also wrong.
It takes courage to do that. I believe Sowore should cultivate that courage & accept that what he said about the President was also wrong & totally unacceptable. If he refuses to do so he should be ready to prove his case in court or face the consequences of his words & actions.
I conclude by mentioning the fact that it is a reflection of President Tinubu’s decency & humanity that he can welcome into his ranks those that once fought against him & opposed him.
He has been magnanimous & that is a mark of a leader. That is also why we stand with him & shall continue to do so regardless of the words of nauseating & inconsequential little distractions & obnoxious irritants like Omoyele Sowore.

Ogun State Turns 50: Genesis Global Prophet Israel Offers Prayers for Unity During Celebrations
As Ogun State celebrates its golden jubilee, it is worth recalling that the state was created on February 3, 1976, and has since witnessed rapid development and growth across its entire domain.Ogun State has demonstrably proven itself to be one of the most progressive states in Nigeria, boasting rapid development, as observed by Prophet Israel Oladele Ogundipe in a statement released through his media aide, Oluwaseun Fabiyi.
“I am proud to hail from Ogun State, a region blessed with an abundance of mineral resources and home to a significant number of manufacturing companies in Nigeria, which is a testament to the state’s unique blessings and favour. Ogun State is richly endowed with esteemed public figures who have distinguished themselves in diverse fields such as politics, academia, religion, entertainment, and sports. The state is proud to have produced leaders of national stature, including a President and Vice President of Nigeria, while its entertainment and sports personalities have garnered international recognition, consistently positioning Ogun State at the forefront of national achievements” Governor Dapo Abiodun’s regime has prioritized infrastructural development, commissioning roads, and showcasing achievements that demonstrate Ogun’s remarkable progress, worthy of commemoration at fifty.
Ogun State has emerged as a pivotal entity in Nigeria, steadily growing in strategic importance. Strategically situated near Lagos, it serves as a vital commercial corridor, connecting the nation’s economic hub to the Southwest region. By living up to its reputation as the Gateway State, Ogun unlocks opportunities for enterprise, tourism, and development.Economically and infrastructurally, the state has progressed significantly, and its political journey has been outstanding in all facets.
It is with great pleasure that I join in celebrating this milestone with Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun, while praying for increased unity within Ogun State and beyond, to ensure that the state’s progress translates into rapid growth for its inhabitants.
