+ Why TB Joshua Remains Unstoppable Amidst criticism

Founder and General Overseer of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua is a man of God whose predictions should not be held with levity. He had predicted many occurrences in the past that came to pass and presently, the revered man of God is still doing same, saying it the way it is and pointing out the fact as revealed to him by the Almighty God.

Pastor TB Joshua has also, through divine anointing touched the lives of many in prayers and through hospitality. A lot come from different countries of the world to testify to what God has done in their individual lives while nations have also, through their presidents, attested to the working hands of God in the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN).

Moreover, Joshua has also faced many battles in the course of his selfless efforts in bringing forth the much needed salvation and emancipation of the many lost souls all over the world. He has traversed the length and breadth of the globe, seeking for the lost sheep and in return, winning the souls of men from all continents. He has been able to bring sanity and uncommon wisdom into Christendom. These and many more attributes of the God-favoured prophet made him the Unstoppable by all the campaign of calumny raised against him and his ministry.

Many of his enemies have come, tried and failed in bringing him down and presently another one has reared its head. And just as an aide of President Julius Maada Bio of Sierra Leone, Fatmata Kargbo came to testify to the works of God at SCOAN, tongues have been wagging with mixed feelings ruling the airwaves on daily basis.

Mrs Fatmata Edna Kargbo, the Chief Protocol Officer of President Julius Maada Bio, whose testimony of ‘God’s blessings in her life’ after visiting Joshua’s church in Lagos, Nigeria, and which was reported in international media, sparked off public concern in Sierra Leone.

According to social media reports, Kargbo was invited for questioning by the nation’s anti-corruption agency after insinuations were rife at the speed of her apparent rise in wealth.

However, Emmanuel TV, SCOAN’s official television channel, released the video of Kargbo’s actual testimony, which she shared on Sunday 21stJuly 2019.

According to Kargbo, after visiting The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) – “the house I constructed for 10 years without finishing – in exactly 14 years, I was able to complete it through the grace of God!”

“This contradicts the narrative implied by most media reports that the Sierra Leonean politician amassed excessive finances within the short timeframe of her appointment as Bio’s Chief Protocol Officer in April 2018,” the television Channel pointed out.

The clip released on Emmanuel TV also paints Kargbo as a patriotic figure who championed the cause of her nation during the deadly Ebola outbreak in the nation in 2014.

“A letter from then President Dr Ernest Bai Koroma to Joshua, requesting his assistance in the nation to battle the deadly virus, is revealed, alongside a donation of $50,000 to Sierra Leone and 4,000 bottles of ‘Anointing Water’ to help curb the spread of the disease.

“Kargbo reveals she personally received the gifts from Joshua – which were sent in a private jet chartered to the tune of $50,000 – and ensured they reached the affected areas, claiming that the regions where the ‘water’ reached were later declared Ebola free,” Emmanuel TV further revealed.

Contrary to most media reports claiming that Kargbo had been ‘sacked’ from her job, a statement from the presidential office indicated she had only been placed on leave pending the outcome of the corruption investigation,” Emmanuel TV disclosed.

Also, ex-aide to former President Jonathan, Reno Omokri who stormed the vulnerable mass media and wrote that he does not want to have anything to do with pastor T.B Joshua, general overseer of the Synagogue Church of all Nation, or anybody associated with the cleric. The former presidential aide made this known after a follower asked via his Instagram page what he thinks of the cleric. Omokri, while reacting to this, said that he does not know if the cleric is a man of God or not, adding that he does not want to have anything to do with him.

This comment from a supposedly wise and educated Omokri sparked reactions from Nigerians, Africans and international communities who all replied Omokri saying he knew next to nothing by condemning Prophet TB Joshua and the SCOAN. Many wondered that prophet TB Joshua, a man that all Nigerians should be proud of is now who an unknowledgeable fellow in Omokri wanted to mock.

Well, some other segments of the social media believed that such attacks on men of God is not new, most especially on the target himself, TB Joshua. He has been able to weather more difficult and perilous storms than that of Omokri and according to an online vox-pop conducted by our reporters, we gathered varied comments from different segments pf the social media. Below are some of them:

Oriokot Emmanuel September 3, 2019 at 11:39 amI have always told my fellow youths. This our time to see the goodness of the Lord.
And this will go on all generations the Lord says in His word.
Others Wil believe and won’t just like they did to Jesus Christ. When He walked the Earth and having us as witnesses still people failed the tests.
Yes God’s ways ain’t ours.
But what initiative have you put to change our ill mindset or even to understand #God#
So I recommend the Prophet T.B Joshua.
He is for Africa regardless and for the whole world let’s embrace what is put on our tables plse.
In order for us to change we ha e to accept.
Godbless

Henry September 3, 2019 at 1:01 pm

The man is entitled to his own opinion but one thing is clear Satan is a liar. As for me and my hoisehold, we will serve the God of my prophet T.B Joshua.

Arc. Jason Afam Anigbo September 2, 2019 at 9:44 am

This utterance of Reno Omokiri, does not qualify in the remotest percentage, to be News worthy.

We Nigerians would want to read meaningful stories that are relevant to our dire Socio-Economic situation in this Nation.

We want credible, long-standing solutions and policies that would curb the debilitating insecurity in the Nation.

We want to read about how our ailing Economy has ignited a vicious snowballing of our teeming Youths going dubious to find their footing and what credible remedial measures are being taken to combat the evil

Not such flimsy utterances sneezed out by Reno.

Emylove September 2, 2019 at 10:43 am

Insignificant news! You should still tell us when Reno goes to toilet! Mtcheeeew!!!

Linda September 3, 2019 at 9:21 am

Alph September 3, 2019 at 11:41 am

It’s only God that knows who his people are. No one else!

So, that you don’t know shouldn’t be news.

Evans Don September 2, 2019 at 6:04 pm

Prophet TB Joshua has however cleared the air of the issue narrating that the woman only came to give the testimony in thanking God for what He did in her life and not to show her affluence or any ill-gotten wealth as perceived by some.

Oba Babatunde Saliu Elebo II Felicitates Muslims on Eid-el-Kabir Celebration

By Adeyemi Obadimu Veron

The Oloworo of Oworosoki Kingdom, Oba Babatunde Saliu Elebo II, has extended warm greetings and heartfelt felicitations to Muslims across Nigeria and the world at large on the joyous occasion of the 2026 Eid-el-Kabir celebration.

In a statement made available to Newsmen, the revered monarch urged Muslims to embrace the true teachings of Islam by promoting peace, love, unity, sacrifice, and compassion during and after the festive period.

Oba Babatunde Saliu Elebo II noted that Eid-el-Kabir, also known as Salah, remains one of the most significant celebrations in Islam as it symbolizes total obedience, faith, and devotion to Almighty Allah, drawing inspiration from the unwavering sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), who demonstrated complete submission to the will of God.

According to the monarch, the Holy Qur’an teaches believers the importance of righteousness, kindness to humanity, tolerance, and support for the less privileged in society. He emphasized that the season should serve as a reminder for all Nigerians to live in harmony irrespective of religion, ethnicity, or political differences.

The royal father further called on Muslims to use the sacred period to pray fervently for peace, stability, economic growth, and sustainable development in Nigeria, stressing that national progress can only thrive in an atmosphere of unity and mutual understanding.

Oba Saliu also encouraged the faithful to extend hands of generosity to widows, orphans, and vulnerable members of society, noting that the essence of Eid-el-Kabir goes beyond celebration and feasting, but also reflects the spirit of sharing and caring for humanity as instructed in the Qur’an.

While wishing Muslims a peaceful and memorable Eid celebration, the Oloworo of Oworosoki prayed for divine blessings, prosperity, good health, and continued harmony in homes and communities.

“May this year’s Eid-el-Kabir strengthen our faith, deepen our love for one another, and bring renewed hope and abundant blessings to our nation,” the monarch stated.
