I’m Leaving Nigeria, And Relocating To Another Country – TB Joshua Reveals

Nigerian Prophet T.B. Joshua declared his intentions to leave Nigeria and relocate his ministry to the nation of Israel.
Speaking to a rapt multi-national audience at his church service on Sunday 30th April 2017, Joshua disclosed that he had just returned from the ‘Holy Land’ after holding meetings with three prominent Israeli mayors of Jerusalem, Tiberias and the Jordan Valley.
According to the cleric, they offered both land and facilities in an area around the biblical site of the Sea of Galilee for the Nigerian Pastor to organise meetings for international pilgrims.

“This is where my Father in Heaven came from – it’s non-negotiable,” Joshua explained, adding it was not a decision he undertook lightly.
“It’s the best place for you to meet Prophet T.B. Joshua. After your healing, blessing and deliverance, you can move around all the spiritual monuments which will establish your faith,” he further clarified.

Joshua said his decision to leave was not connected to the “persecution” he endured during his ministry.
However, he hoped the move would help people to “appreciate” what his ministry had been contributing to both the local economy and Nigeria’s international image.

“This is the most persecuted ministry in the world. Who are the people persecuting the ministry? My people, Africa,” Joshua bluntly stated, adding that this ‘treatment’ had led him into a life of virtual isolation.
“That is why I choose to live a lonely life. If you want to see me, come to this church. I don’t go out. It has not been easy – because I don’t know who is a friend or who is an enemy. If you learn T.B. Joshua is not around, I am in a revival. I live in the church here. I don’t have a house outside.”
“Anytime you pray, remember Africa in prayer,” the cleric solemnly continued to an audience which included over 3,000 foreign nationals who flew into Nigeria to attend the church service.
“Many heroes and great people have been chased out of Africa. There are many geniuses in the Western world who are originally from Africa.”

The cleric pointed to the example of heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua who was allegedly turned down by Nigerian sporting authorities when he wanted to represent the country.

“What happened to me from the beginning of my ministry is enough to chase me out of this country – but I am still in your midst. Upon the persecution and hatred – I decided to follow the path of love. You show hatred; I show love. When I go for a revival, you will see the stadium full but I am not carried away by that. I leave where I’m celebrated to live where I’m persecuted.”

The cleric then advised congregants: “Where you are not celebrated is the best place to stay, to get strength. When you are in the midst of a battle, you are building yourself. That is why I decided to stay where I am not celebrated here in Nigeria. When the grace of God is amid challenges, it gets stronger.”
According to the cleric, the invitation to Israel came due to the growing popularity of Joshua’s television channel Emmanuel TV, which is especially known on YouTube.
“Your life can preach a better sermon than your mouth,” he exhorted the congregation, stating that the Israeli officials had observed his ministry from afar before inviting him.
No timeframe for the move was specified in the service and it was not clear whether activities in The SCOAN’s Ikotun-Egbe base would cease entirely.
Joshua concluded by counselling people: “Don’t destroy your relationships beyond repair because the person who fights you today can be your saviour tomorrow.”
The shock announcement will come as a blow to Nigeria’s religious tourism industry.
Statistics from the Nigerian Immigration Services revealed that six out of every ten travelers to Nigeria go to The SCOAN, with countless local businesses and hotels in the area relying on the church activities for their sustenance.

Stadium, Street To Be Named After Anthony Joshua To Honour Him In Nigeria

 Anthony Joshua is set to be honoured by the Ogun State government, the state where his parents hail from in Nigeria after defeating Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko,
Majority leader of the State House of Assembly Yinka Mafe says he will move a motion in the state legislature to have the Sagam International Stadium renamed Anthony Joshua Stadium, and the popular Cinema Street in Sagamu renamed Anthony Joshua Street.
Of the two, the street is the most significant, as his family owns almost half the land and property on one side of the street.
The cinema, from which the road takes its name, was built by his great grandfather Omo-Oba Daniel Adebambo Joshua in the 50s, and is one of the oldest of such facilities in the country.

Mafe joined hundreds of Sagamu youth to watch the fight in an open air viewing event organised by the Sagamu Youth Congress, and was thrilled by both the turnout and the outcome.
“We are proud of what he has achieved as a son of Sagamu, and we will be happy to do our own little bit to show our appreciation and support for him,” Mafe said.

Labour Bestow Fayose With New Title (Photos)

 

Governor Ayodele Fayose has been officially named a Comrade by workers under the aegis of Nigeria Labour Congress(NLC) and Trade Union Congress(TUC).

The event took place inside the main bowl of Oluyemi Kayode Stadium in Ado Ekiti.

According to Lere Olayinka, the governor’s aide, he was decorated with a muffler with the inscription 'Comrade Ayodele Fayose' by Ekiti State NLC Chairman, Prince Ade Adesanmi and the Ekiti State TUC Chairman, Comrade Odunayo Adesoye.

The anchor of the programme said Fayose was honoured for his outstanding leadership qualities, especially for the way he handled the herdsmen menace.

He said: "Unionism is not all about salary payment, we would have conferred this title on you since last year but for the unfortunate demise of 7 of our colleagues. Your stance on the nefarious activities of herdsmen remains a template across Nigeria. That is leadership.

"Promotion of over 15,000 workers that you approved in one fell swoop has been on the table for more than 3 years before you took over. Security crack teams set up by your administration has in no small measure reduced criminality in the state.

"These steps are commendable. Your effort at empowering Ekiti women we must also commend, these amongst other rare feats attained during your tenure are the reasons for conferring on you the title Comrade Governor."

Fayose was dressed in a shirt and white short with a red fez cap.

The Nation reports that there was a drama at the celebration when workers demanded payment of their salaries.

As the governor was rounding off his address, the workers shouted “salary! salary!! salary!!!” Some of them shouted: “Osoko, we are hungry.”

Responding to them, he said: “I can only pay your salaries when I get cash backing from Abuja. At times, we get cash backing three weeks after we held FAAC meetings.”

The state workers are owed six months arrears while local government employees have not been paid for seven months.
