I lived in Iyana Ipaja/Akowonjo axis circa 1992-94.
There was this neighbour of mine who was sold on anything TBJ. A couple of times, I drove her to TB Josua’s ‘prayer mountain’, that swamp where Joshua lived. It was the place that housed the well that produces the holy water.
While my neighbour and the crowd would scramble for the holy water and the man’s pictures, I just refused to be part of them as I had a hunch something was not right about the man, but I couldn’t place my finger on the problem.
One, I had both the Anglican and Baptist background and, two, as a former chief of Kegites Club, the only holy water I knew was palmwine.
Then stories like the one published by The News started surfacing, and more damning reports were published about the newest ‘man of God’ in town.
Bob Marley sang: every big man you’ve ever seen was once a baby. Pray, who was TB Joshua’s spiritual father? From which church did he spring out from?
Please, what manner of a ‘man of God’ would send assassins after journalists, or cause them to lose their jobs like he did to Kola Olawuyi just because of expose on him?

Not to talk about stories of his sexual escapades with his disciples. And his make believe miracles.

For people defending all his atrocities, please read John 8:32 ‘Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free’. Read also vs 36: if the son makes you free then you are free indeed.
I pray that their shackles be broken and their blindfold removed so they can see like Bartimaeaus.
If the man escapes the judgement of man because of his connections here, and based on the allegations against him, he cannot escape the judgement of God.
Like the sign on an old Bolekaja lorry says: ‘God’s case no appeal’.
