Why Arrest Nigerian Pastor TB Joshua For ‘Killing’ 84 South Africans? By Perry Brimah
Sept 26, 2014 – Why Arrest Nigerian Prophet TB Joshua For Killing 84 South Africans? By Perry Brimah
So many people are shouting, “arrest T. B. Joshua!” “Lock him up now!” “Throw away the key.”
Why? Why do you want to arrest TB Joshua? I read this group of writers from the USA. Over five of them came together to pen and sign this long letter demanding for TB Joshua’s arrest. Summary of it was that he violated building law. This is all that TB Joshua did. What about the Town Planning Authority? Where were they? What were they looking at that they did not demolish the building? You want to arrest TB Joshua, but you do not know they should be arrested first?
TB Joshua only killed 100+ people who volunteered of their own volition and not under compulsion to visit him for miracles. They got miracles. We cannot say they were forced. Have you arrested Diezani Alison-Madueke? Where are those five spirited writers to demand the arrest of Diezani who has continued to steal $4 million every single day from the poorest kitchens in Nigeria through her illegal kerosene “subsidy” scam? Do we know how many her robbery kills everyday in hardship? Hundreds every day, and we want to arrest TB Joshua?
Have you arrested Farouk Lawani? Have you arrested General Ihejrika, the man who embezzled billions of dollars for our nation’s security and directly and indirectly facilitated/sponsored Boko Haram’s success? Have you clamored for his arrest for the transfer all those APC’s we are just recovering from Boko Haram after he was exposed, that were used to kill Nigerians in the thousands over the past 5 years? Where are your letters calling for his arrest? No, it is poor, hard-working TB Joshua you see because he is not the respected Cabal.
Have you arrested Ali Modu Sheriff? Have you arrested Fayose? Have you arrested Patience Jonathan known as “the greediest person in Bayelsa” who was caught smuggling $13.6 million; money for the poor and poisoned people of Bayelsa, out of Nigeria? Talking about smuggling, have you arrested Ayo Oritsejafor and President Jonathan, the gangsta cash and guns smugglers? Have you arrested Abba Moro, the self confessed possessed-by-the-devil Minister who humiliated all our youth, killed many and again was just exposed in another major scam, robbing Nigerians of billions? No, you have not arrested or insisted on the arrest of all these, but you want to arrest TB Joshua?
Have you arrested the Military officers who burned down BRT buses? Have you arrested the soldiers who killed Sheikh Zakzaky’s three sons and 33 other innocent peaceful protesters in Kaduna the other day? Have you arrested Stella Oduah and the manager of Coscharis motors, or you claim not to know that corruption directly leads to the death of millions from poor or unavailable infrastructure, security and all other responsibilities of the government with public funds?
Dear all,
Nigeria is a free for all now. Please and please, do not pounce on petty thieves and petty killers. You see poor TB Joshua and you all gather to throw tire and petrol on him and mob beat him because there is something about him you never liked… you were always jealous of him and looked at him as “other.” But you have left the government of Jonathan to continue to lead this nation in reckless abandon; to promote corruption, looting and killing in all facets of the nation. To destroy every single facet of society. You have watched Jonathan promote and encourage stealing as never known before; you have watched him free killers and thieves.
Nigeria is a free for all. You have not clamored for the arrest of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, the king crook in power, guilty of unlimited crimes against humanity and responsible for the veering of Nigeria- all systems- off the cliff finally, but you want to arrest TB Joshua. No petty criminal should ever be punished again. Open all the jails and set them free. If and until we all rise together and chase out the entire master killers and thieves in the Senate and Presidency, please and please, touch not the “anointed.” Only 100 he killed, Diezani killed another 1000 today by stealing money for the construction of their community health centers, and she is there putting make-up on in peace and you are shouting about TB Joshua.

You South African’s are calling him a killer right but he healed your people,gave them food,shelter and many other things…if you people have all of this in South Africa why didn’t you stay there why come to him for miracle..Or you don’t know how many lives he have saved?let me tell you people what you don’t know even the Nigerian’s are not excluded Judgement comes from God Almighty and not Man..Touch not my Anointed and do my prophets no harm but every body is criticizing and calling him names but what about other killers out their what have you done to them nothing…. So don’t judge any body don’t point your finger on him cos you are not even pure or clean and you are judging someone….don’t worry your own judgement is coming too….God Almighty will judge You…..uuuuuuu I mean youuuuu…….

They said he paid 50,0000 bribe to journalist. Please ask them, is there any press conference in Nigeria dat journalist did not receive brown envelopes. Am a journalist, all journalist depend on the brown envelope in Nigeria because dey are not paid salaries. Today it has turned to bribe bcos its T.B. Joshua that gave it. God will expose all devils involved in this predicament facing this man.

The writter of this article just spoke my mind. thank you sir, you people should leave my Prophet alone out of this pls, he is not a building Engineer, he is not a Structural Engineer, he is not the site Engineer, and he is not a town planer, he is just a civil man like any other Nigerians whom there properties had collapse before in and arround lagos and Nigeria at large . this is just a time of trial for the man of God, and he will surely Overcome them all IJN amen.

Sometimes thing happen for a reason. If this tragedy didnt take place we would not know how many of our Nigerians hated Prophet Tb Joshua. He can never pray without praying for Nigerian citizen and the world over yet they rubbish him in papers like that. We now know how many Nigerians hate him. God loves him.
We thank God for the strength God is giving him to handle this situation. God will continue to fight for him. I believed his plan was to build enough rooms for visitors to feel save not to build a hostels to kill. So God is watching.

I don’t know who the writer of this article is but you sound very demented.Doesn’t it FUCKING BOTHER YOU that people have lost their lives because a man of God has flaunted planning laws for profit ? The dead are not coming back to life, they’re dead ! In life you don’t play judge- jury and executioneer, the people you mentioned and their crimes are no business of yours. They, just like you and I will pay for our crimes in the same way T B Joshua will pay for his!If you were one of the people who died in this tragedy what would your family say about T B Joshua ? Think before you jump on the band wagon of people supporting T B Joshua and face facts like a good christian, if you are one!If you commit a sin you pay the penalty.

@ proudly south African, is like you fail to understand the message of the writer of this article. If TB Joshua is to be arrested, what of those in charge of town planning in Lagos State or the engineer/ contractor in charge?
What happened was quite unfortunate but we should not only look where we fall down but we should rather look at what cause the falling.

September 26, 2014 at 3:25 PM
It was not TB Joshua’s fault just that the building is too old and it was a mistake putting another on top man of God the lord is ur strength.

September 26, 2014 at 3:46 PM
This sounds so cruel. How can you say he killed “only 100”. The rationale behind your article is so baseless and it shows you have no value for humanity.
You should rather look for a way to console the families of the lost ones and the injured.

I can only say one thing to all you people of low faith that are calling for the head of Prophet TB Joshua, the Lord said touch not my anointed. God will put everything in perspective in due time. Kudos to the writer of this article, you couldn’t have said it any better. May the souls of the departed rest in peace.
Grace
September 26, 2014 at 7:13 PM
Thank you very much the author of this article. You have said it all. There are more and they know themselves.
I will describe Prophet Tb Joshua as a hard working prophet of our generation. I have never seen other pastors praying very powerful like him. He is one of the best, humble kind, loyal, good heated Nigerian many people have ever seen in the history of our Nigeria. If all of us were like him then the nation will be the best place in the world to reside. Nigerians think of his good will, mind and heart.
Think of the positives. Do you know how much airlines have been making on flight for those coming to visit his church? Look back before the 12th and after the 12th the losses of flight tickets from Nigeria South Africa and other airlines.
May the soul of those who have departed rest in peace and may their families bear these lost. We feel it same as them.

Am assuming all those who have written negative things against the man of God TBJ are not Christians themselves. We read about Job, we read about Jesus who was disgraced….The list continues. Why are some people so ignorant to the extent that the question tragedy against a man of God?….the only reason we seek the face of God is to be able to face trials when the come. We don’t go to God for prevention. It is only by His grace that we are not in pain. We don’t deserve nothing , not even TBJ. He has has even never claimed that he is above pain. Take a second and pray for him, and stop renailing Jesus on the cross. God bless

If you are T B Joshua,which I doubt,I have one simple question for you which does not involve religion – Why did you flout planning laws by building further stories on a building that is not certified to carry any more than its current weight ? Don’t put the Lord God to dispute ! Put your hand up and admit you are WRONG !!Stop hiding behind the cloak of religion!!!Have you no shame – PEOPLE ARE FUCKING DEAD BECAUSE OF YOU!!!!!
