T.B. Joshua speaks on elections, asks Nigerians t

On March 15, Nigerian cleric, T.B.
Joshua, gave a warning to Nigerians
over the upcoming elections, further
adding that he foresaw an imminent
plane crash within Nigeria.
“Pray for Nigeria because I am seeing
a plane crash,” Mr. Joshua stated in a
service televised live via Christian
channel Emmanuel TV. “It’s not a good
thing to lose personalities again,” he
added, specifying that prayer and
fasting should be especially offered
from 19 to 23 March.
Speaking on the coming elections,
scheduled to hold on March 28 and
April 11, the cleric stated, “The
challenge Nigeria is facing – on the day
of voting, when you drop your votes in
the ballot box, you will know who is
PDP and who is APC. It’s a parable;
very delicate. Because everybody plays
a game; we deceive ourselves. ‘So this
man voted for this party but he’s in
that party.’”
Mr. Joshua stated that a dark cloud
was hanging over the nation. “The
cloud is darker. When it is about to
rain, you cannot see in front
again,” said.
The cleric further emphasised that
vengeance was nigh for the perpetrators
of the building collapse that left 116
dead last year September, insisting it
was an attack. “There must be
vengeance concerning what happened
here. Both the slaves and masters must
pay the price.”
He stated he was unhappy due to the
innocent blood spilled in his church
premises and the refusal of those
responsible to admit. “God gave me an
order that I should continue this work –
so I must do it. Nothing can separate
me from the work of God but your
prophet is not happy. I will be happy
when vengeance comes,” he said.
The cleric further prophesied concerning
Russia, referring to the recent
assassination of opposition leader Boris
Nemtsov. “I am still seeing the same thing happening
– killing of a hero, even bigger than the one that was
killed. I am talking in parables. Who could be bigger
than the man that was shot in Russia? You should
pray for the authority there; pray for the President of
Russia.”
Mr. Joshua also stated that he had collected his own
Permanent Voters Card (PVC) as a responsible
Nigerian citizen, although admitting his approach
often times did not reflect his citizenship.
“I am living as if I am a stranger in my own
country,” he told congregants.
