Nigerians have been asked to brazen up over the recent food scarcity that is being experienced in the country as it is only a tip of the iceberg. This much was revealed by Prophet TB Joshua, founder of the Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN), during a recent service aired live on television.
The Nigerian prophet, known for his predictions and prophecies on the state of the nation, revealed that he had seen the ill-fated EgyptAir crash coming but kept sealed lips because of condemnation from people. During the service, he read out the prophecies he earlier made about Nigeria and Africa for 2016, explaining categorically that the country has to go back to agriculture, or else, the prevailing scarcity will take every penny from the people’s pockets. While reading the leaflet he printed, he said:
“There will be large scale scarcity, shortage of food. As a state, country, continent, we have to go back to the farm to arrest, to alleviate the forthcoming situation.”
TB Joshua explained further that:
“It is only a shortage that you are experiencing now, you have not experienced large scale. This one that I am saying now, scarcity, large scale, it’s a proverb. Whatever you can do from now till December, all of your money you will use to buy food, you will not have enough to buy.”
He also counseled those in the real-estate business, saying:
“If you are the type planning to build a house now, stop it for the mean time. If you are in the business of buying land, stop it for the mean time – look for another business. Stop it for the mean time until February next year. Use that money on the need of people now. I’m preparing you. Get ready; lager scale scarcity is coming.”
Prophet Joshua also spoke about the Nigerian currency, stating:
“The president will do everything to reject devaluation of the naira – which is a good idea from a good leader. But there will be overwhelming pressure which he will not be able to resist. Nigeria, we are in a valley. The future is crying for help. I explained that we are in a valley but it is not the valley of the shadow of death. There is no snake or scorpion, it’s different.
When you are in the valley you will cry and cry but you will still get out of the valley. You have to continue to cut your coat according to your size. Don’t just continue to spend your money on something that won’t be able to help you. Spend your money on something that the whole world will be looking for – food, shelter.”
The prophet also spoke on terrorism in Africa, where he explained that:
“more African countries will be under siege by terrorists because of pros and cons in choosing leaders. Mishandling of electoral processes will create a conducive atmosphere for terrorists.”
The controversial preacher was recently credited with helping a young Ghanaian policeman rearrest an escapee prisoner. According to a post shared on TB Joshua’s Facebook page, the policeman had come to the synagogue as soon as he noticed he was under fire after a prisoner escaped under his watch. TB Joshua reportedly prophesied that the criminal would be apprehended before the end of a certain timeline.
