TB Joshua releases new footage of Synagogue building collapse

Just received this article from freelance journalist, Ihechukwu Njoku. He wrote it. Apparently there's new footage showing the building collapse that killed 115 people. Find it below... Maintaining his controversial stand that the tragic collapse of a building at The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) was an ‘attack’, T.B. Joshua has released new security footage of the incident through Emmanuel TV’s official YouTube channel. The new footage from a security camera stationed in the church premises shows the bottom of the building as people walk innocently around the environment. Suddenly, a huge plume of smoke is seen coming from the side of the building, bystanders running for dear life as the collapse occurs in mere seconds. A still picture at the end of the shocking footage shows the extent of the disaster with ‘floors piled on top of each other’. Through a Facebook post, the embattled cleric reiterated that, while co-operating with the ongoing investigation into the cause of the fatal collapse, “The church views this tragedy as part of an attack on The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations.” The SCOAN had earlier warned media not to pre-empt the investigation with ‘unconfirmed stories’ that ‘give the impression the collapse was due to structural failure’.

Iggy Azalea Responds To New Claims Of Her Not Being 'Real' Or 'Hip Hop' Enough In A Totally Unexpected Way!

Iggy Azalea does not take lightly to those who diss her music! The Australian rapper has been bad mouthed left and right - from claims that she doesn't write her own music to not being "real" hip hop! What the what?? Iggy Iggs moved across the globe to be more in touch with the hip hop & rap scene and people are claiming she isn't hip hop enough?! Rah Digga, a former member of the group Flipmode Squad, basically said that about the rapper in a recent interview. She said: "Iggy Azalea, I can't really get into her. Because it's just not real to me. There is a white girl from Australia that spits in an Australian accent, and her name is Chelsea Jane. That I can get into. Teach me Australian Hip-Hop culture. Don't come to America and try to convince me that you're Gangsta Boo…We're not going to believe you if you're trying to convince us that you're out here trap shooting. That's the problem. They're too many passes being given. When did it become wrong to call out people that don't write their own rhymes? When did that become a crime in hip-hop?" Well, like it's been mentioned before by Iggy's mentor, T.I., the female rapper DOES write her own rhymes! After word of the hip hop related diss spread, Iggy took to Twitter to express her disappointment - not because Rah Digga said she wasn't hip hop enough! It was because the criticism came from another female. It's hard enough being in the industry as it is! She writes: I honestly don't really mind if I'm described as rap or pop. My passion is purely making music and entertaining. — IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) September 24, 2014 its definetly funny seeing ppl get so emotional over it all. What does it matter? music is music and many enjoy mine, no need to feel upset. — IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) September 24, 2014 @Listen2Kevin end of the day i have a massive publishing deal based on the fact i write and collect checks which everyone seems to ignore. — IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) September 24, 2014 @Listen2Kevin every female rapper gets accused of not writing, and thats fine i just find it disappointing to see it come from other women — IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) September 24, 2014 @Listen2Kevin especially ones who don't know me or anyone around me, its actually sad. crabs in a bucket syndrome. — IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) September 24, 2014 There were so many ways Iggy Iggs could've responded to that diss but she took the higher road and responded with class and not more drama! Make nice and get to know each other, ladies! Maybe one day the both of you can collaborate on a super awesome track! Listen to Rah Digga's diss in full (below)! ">

Pres. Jonathan lacks the experience to lead Nigeria- Atiku Abubakar says

Former Vice President and APC presidential aspirant Atiku Abubakar said in an interview with AFP today that President Jonathan lacks the experience to lead Nigeria, saying it's the reason Boko Haram activities has been on the increase. "This insurgency shouldn’t have lasted even six months. Within weeks, we (Obasanjo and I) crushed it because we did not neglect military training and, of course, we did not lack the leadership and the capacity to take decisions. I told Nigerians that he [Jonathan] did not have the capacity; he didn’t have the experience. He didn’t have anything and yet they gave him the chance, the opportunity. And they can now see the chance and the opportunity they gave him. Of course, I’m more experienced than he is. I believe my capacity cannot be compared with his, in all respect.” he said

5 Interesting Facts About Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor

As soon as it was learnt about the involvement of the pastor Ayo Oritsejafor’s into the $9.3mln cash seizure in South Africa, the interest towards the cleric’s figure increased

We have gathered top 5 interesting and, in some cases, controversial facts about the president of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN). 1. Pastor was allegedly presented with a private jet in 2012 by his congregation, as he claimed. Interestingly, the registration number of the jet with cash seized in South Africa is different from that one given to the cleric as a gift. Can it mean the clergyman possesses one more aircraft? 2. Oritsejafor’s figure was used for one of the episodes of the political comedy puppet show “Ogas At The Top”.

In one of the scenes the pastor holds a special thanksgiving service for President Goodluck Jonathan to mark the wedding of his daughter. When given a word, Jonathan starts praising the PDP. However in the comedy piece PDP stands for “Praise Di Papa” and not the abbreviation of the ruling party. Thus the creators hint on the close links of the CAN head with the country president and his administration. 3. In 2012 Oritsejafor, the leader of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), came out against another famous cleric, pastor T.B. Joshua, doubting the idea if he really was a man of God. He lashed out that T.B.Joshua’s healing and miracles are not yardsticks to admitting him into any of the religious group, CAN or PFN (it was believed Joshua wanted to join PFN). Oritsejafor also said that Joshua should show who tutored him as a pastor “before he said he was called into the ministry”. 4. Several months after the news about “private jet gift” had caused hot discussions in the media, Oritsejafor’s wife was allegedly spotted coming out of a luxurious white limousine, which resulted in fresh criticism by numerous Nigerians.

5. Oritsejafor’s official website says in 1972 “the Lord saved and miraculously delivered him during a crusade”, after which he enrolled in the New Covenant Bible Institute in Benin. According to the cleric, during his studies in college God showed him the vision of him preaching and said: “Take my Word to the World”.

The politicians are being interrogated following the
recovery of some sensitive registration cards and other
materials of a prominent political party that were found in
the possession of some of the suspects arrested.
“Those who are being interrogated are prominent
politicians belonging to a frontline political party. Troops
even recovered the identity cards of some of the
politicians,” Omeri declared.
Omeri also decried activities of some organisations and
individuals championing the cause of the abducted girls,
which he said were aiding insurgency in the country.
“Some of these groups are augmenting and supplementing
terrorists by their activities because they create diversion
for security operatives from promptly responding to
insurgent activities then you are creating your own
problems.”

Haram fighters at Balmo Forest (Photo: Defence HQRT)
Responding to a question, Army Spokesman, Major General
Chris Olukolade insisted that the military and other security
agencies were getting results in their fight against terror.”
He noted that arrests of terrorists and their backers being
made regularly were indicative of such results which should
be encouraging to all Nigerians.
“Nigerians should be assured that there is hope of finding
and bringing back the girls, there is hope that the terrorists
will be defeated and good progress is being made. We told
you earlier that over 250 sorties flown while the President
(Goodluck Jonathan) once announced that over 20,000
troops have been deployed.”
