Amidst all the chaos and uprising started off by Nigeria's labour union nearly a week ago and supported by the entire Nigerian nation in an awesome spirit of oneness, which has consequently crippled economic activities in Nigeria, the Nigerian government seems to be at the crossroads and the issue seems to be way over their heads now, as demonstrations that started as an outcry against the removal of fuel subsidies has grown into anger against government corruption' The protests - dubbed "Occupy Nigeria" - have galvanized the continent's most populous nation' It's an undisputed fact that Nigerians consider the subsidies one of the few benefits of living in an oil-producing nation that has little infrastructure, high unemployment and intermittent electricity' knowing with what expectancy Nigerian citizens await a response from him on this issue, TB Joshua, general overseer of the Synagogue church of all Nations, speaking in his usual confidence as a Prophet to the Nations renowned for accurate World Prophecies, addressed the current upheaval in Nigeria by telling the Nigerian president and those at the helm of affairs of the Nation Nigeria to give chance for peace' Addressing the congregants present at his Sunday live service and millions of viewers worldwide he said,
Nigeria has prayed and hoped, but there's one thing that is yet to be done, We need to apply Love'
Quoting 1 Corinthians 13:13 which highlights love as the greatest Christian virtue, he further emphasized, since the greatest is Love, we need to make the greatest sacrifice, our president is the person who should make that sacrifice and other participants at the helm of affairs would follow'
In his words which he tagged as His message to the Nation, He said; My message to the Nation Nigeria is compromise; Love is compromise â€" to give chance for peace in the interest of the Nation' Referring to Matt 20:21, he explained that Jesus gave chance for peace when he said give to Caesar what is Caesars' and to God what is Gods' He explained what he meant by compromise in saying, by compromise I mean, we must shift ground' And while the congregants listened on to comprehend the inspiring words that came from his lips, he gave the shocker by saying; "I'm not preaching; I'm prophesying" adding that we should not give the impression of embarrassing the president and the other participants in the crisis, to do this easily, our president should rely more on politicians than on technocrats, because the best players in the game of politics are the politicians, not technocrats stressing that the Nigerian president was surrounded by technocrats when he should rely more on politicians' He also explained that apart from stating this through Emmanuel TV, that he had also sent a personal message about the way out of the ongoing Nigerian crisis to the helm of affairs of the Nation Nigeria'
From this message given by TB Joshua, we are clear on the mind of God about this issue, the highlight of the message he gave being the Need for the president to shift grounds, and listen to the politicians and not technocrats who clearly have no stake in the game of politics' Without the Nigerian Government shifting grounds to the demands of its citizens on the return of fuel subsidy, the protests would virtually keep the country grounded' According to CNN report earlier today, Nigerian labour unions failed to reach a deal with the government to stop a national strike over soaring fuel prices, with hours of late-night wrangling ending early Sunday without a compromise'
Let us be clear on the fact that this crisis and resulting protests could have very well been averted, as the prophet said during His prediction of the crisis on October 16, 2011, that there was a way out, but such details are not for public consumption, he advised them then to call their team of economists, and particularly the team of divine economists, they paid deaf ears to his prophecy three months ago and now are suffering the consequences, but despite being ignored from the onset till this moment he still comes forward to offer the advice to help them clean up their mess' Such is the attitude of a prophet who sees himself as a father to all, a counselor to the politicians and business men'
We're very sure many TB Joshua's critics who wrongly assumed that TB Joshua always guessed his predictions are now covering their heads in shame, while others who thought his prophecies are always too vague to be useful are now gaping at the recent turn of events in Nigeria with their mouths wide open because of the uncanny precision of TB Joshua's prophecy on the Nigerian protests' If you're wondering how they expressed this opinion, here's a taster of critic cynicism relating to TB Joshua's prophecies on a reputed SCOAN critic site;
TB Joshua's prophecies always involve simple binary outcomes (it will be good for Nigeria, or bad for Nigeria, there will be a fire in a place starting with EN or there will not be, an American hero will die or…)' These predictions are setup to make TB Joshua the winner no matter the outcome?
Judging by the way they used the expression "always involve simple binary outcomes", I Wonder what they have to say now in the face of this Nigerian Protest Prophecy given by TB Joshua three months ago, does the prediction of this Nigerian Protest three months ago involve a simple binary outcome? Far from it, it was a perfect way of sticking out his neck as he made a bold statement about the future, clearly putting his entire ministry on the line' Such warped thinking that a man would go through the trouble of putting his entire ministry on the line before a world live audience, knowing nothing of what he speaks goes against every grain of right reasoning in any normal human being' For a while now a lot of these critic sites have been quiet and morbid, presumably still in shock at the reality they had tried to deny for so long, now ever dawning upon them, that most undoubtedly, a prophet of the Nations does live among us'
