Received this story from freelance journalist Ihechukwu Njoku:
"On Sunday 15th March 2015, 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,”
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 19th to
23rd.
Addressing the contentious elections scheduled to hold
on March 28th, 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.’ ”
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,” he vividly described.
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
stated, with a markedly stern countenance.
The cleric further prophesied concerning the nation of
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.”
Joshua also stated that he had collected his own
Permanent Voters Card (PVC) as a responsible Nigerian
citizen, although admitting his approach oftentimes did
not reflect his citizenship. “I am living as if I am a
stranger in my own country,” he told congregants.
