Few days after the collapse of a guest at his church in Ikotun Lagos, controversial Nigerian Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua has come under fire from South Africans.
A South African public affairs commentator, Allan Taylor, expressed concerns over the number his fellow citizens killed in the tragedy.
South African President, Jacob Zuma, on Tuesday noted that in recent times, the country had not witnessed the death of a large number of her citizens in one incident in a foreign land.
Alan Taylor lamented that TB Joshua was allegedly deceiving and luring South Africans to his church in Nigeria.
Taking a swipe at TB Joshua, he accused him of unfairly personalising the tragedy at the expense of the “unfortunate victims.”
“I’m saddened by the death of up to 67 South Africans in the Nigerian church collapse and at the hands of TB Joshua’s greed. It is also important to expose those who lured the unfortunate victims to Nigeria on false pretences.
“Innocent lives of people have been lost; yet TB Joshua makes the tragedy about himself. He is a disgrace,” the enraged South African wrote on Twitter.
Another Bloemfontein-based South African, Portia Tsotetsi, said TB Joshua owed the families of her compatriots lost in the building collapse some answers.
“My thoughts and prayers are with the families of the 67 South Africans who lost their lives in Nigeria. What bothers me most is the silence of TB Joshua and his church concerning the 67 who died.
“Where are messages of condolence? When is the church (SCOAN) offering a statement of condolences to the families? When is TB Joshua speaking about this tragedy? What bothers me is the amount of blind loyalists who refuse to see facts. They will do anything to protect their church,” Tsotetsi tweeted.
Its a pity about the number of foriegners who have lost their lives. I suggest the deceased be flown home and buried and if the SA government suspect FOUL PLAY, - criminal proceedings should be filed against the "church!"

I witnessed the deliverance of some SA teachers that were possessed of paper eating demons.Inshort, one testified that her children notebooks are been eaten by her. Almost 60% of them came for hiv positive cases and the man of God accomodated them, gave them food and heal them by the anonting of God upon his life.Is TBJ the samson of our days to pull down the building that kill SA people? By the way, did they force them to come to Nigeria?

Paper-eating demons? Are you kidding us? That is the most pathetic claim yet!

it is rather unfortunate that this tragidy occured, but we must remember that there are trial times in every ones life, we must know that our prophet is more pained than we could imagine, our heart goes with the families of the deceased and the injured, RIP to the dead, may GOD grant their souls eternal rest in Christ JESUS, remember, even our saviour JESUS passes through hard times even unto death, as christians, we must rise up against criticisms of the Man of GOD, we must not forget the lives he has saved so he can not plan to take lives.

we all know that what happen to SCOAN can happen to any other person or any country, Synagugue issue is not different. Don't forget the good work the man of God has been doing for long time. Do not reject someome because his temptation or problem because whom you reject on account of his situation today may be your helper or deliverer tomorrow. You are because i am , I am because you are , let LOVE LEEDS. for the dead let their souls rest in perfect peace amen, for those that have injuries, i pray may for their quick recovery and also may God console the family of the victims in Jesus Name Amen.
