Prophet T.B. Joshua Speaks On Food Scarcity: "You Have Not Seen Anything Yet”

On Sunday May 22, 2016, T.B. Joshua of the Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN), made some shocking revelations on his Emmanuel TV station concerning Nigeria and the world at large. The ‘prophet’ spoke on many issues including the recent EgyptAir crash, African politics and agriculture, even warning of a terrorist attack in the United Kingdom.

He read out a transcript of the prophecies he had given during his New Year’s Crossover Service, highlighting particularly the national food scarcity. On each point read, he expanded further, detailing what Nigeria and Africa are to expect in the nearest future.

FOOD SCARCITY
“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”, he read.

Further expanding on the details of the prophecy, he said, “It is only a ‘shortage’ that you are experiencing now; you have not experienced ‘large scale'.”

Giving further insight, he proclaimed, “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.”

Advising those in the real-estate business he said,

“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.”

Giving a sombre warning, he said, “I'm preparing you. Get ready; lager scale scarcity is coming!”

In the last few days, Nigerians have woken up to the stark reality of the rising food scarcity. Several reports were released on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday detailing the extent of the current national food woes. Tomato ebola, violence from fulani herdsmen, missed harvests and rising transportation costs have all been attributed as the cause of the food shortage and spiralling food prices.

On the rise of "tomato ebola", Kaduna state agriculture commissioner, Manzo Daniel, said:

"This is only the beginning of a disaster if we don’t take drastic measures because the disease is fast spreading across the north.”

NIGERIA'S ECONOMY
On the economic plight Nigerians are facing, Joshua read from his beginning of year prophecies:

“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.”

Expanding on the ‘valley’, Joshua said:

“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.”

AFRICAN POLITICS
Moving on the political climate in Africa, Joshua noted:

“African leaders should quickly arrest the political situation. 50% of counties that do elections, at least 45% of them will face crisis. 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.”

UK TERROR WARNING
Joshua also claimed to have seen an attack in the United Kingdom. He said:

“Pray for the United Kingdom like the railways, people, and crowds where people gather because I'm seeing some funny people in their country. But I am seeing with prayer and proper security it will be avoided but there will be a sign or trace that this happened but it will not happen the way that it was supposed to have happened but they will know that something happened there.”

The day following Joshua's warning, 27 schools had to close nationwide in the UK due to a bomb scare. Apparently, anonymous repeated calls were made to each school, warning of explosive devices. The callers told the receptionists that "if the school called the police the bomb would be detonated immediately". The threats continued on Tuesday with more schools being evacuated.

ANOTHER PLANE INCIDENT
On the Egypt Air crash, Joshua said:

“Egypt has happened and the other one I am seeing is very close and I am going to say the country and the place. This one that I am seeing now is bigger than the one that happened. This one is very close now.

Every airport security must be tight. You should be careful who you employ to fly as a pilot or flight attendant because they too will apply for this kind of job and they will be patient enough; if it is one or two years they will be patient until the achieve their goal.”

The cleric dishes out national and international predictions on a regular basis, using the platform of his Sunday services, broadcast live on his Emmanuel TV.

While some embrace his prophecies, upholding him as an end-time prophet, others are highly sceptical. Despite mixed reactions to his prophecies and purported miracles, Joshua has a huge following worldwide, with his YouTube Channel having over 350,000 subscribers and 2.2million following him on Facebook.

OAU Student's Spectacular Painting Goes Viral

Mr Ponmile With His Painting

The Popular Painting

Ponmile Pelumi, a student of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ileife has once again proved the uniqueness of some certain people in their fields. Pelumi, a student in the Department of Fine and Applied Arts created an oil on canvas painting of a view in the Adekunle Fajuyi Hall of residence.

The painting which he shared on his social media platforms have since then gone viral in the online community of the University with many not even believing that the painting is not a photograph.

Commenting on the picture, Mr Damilola said; "The painting just looks so real and detailed, it captures everything; from the light bulbs in the hall to the ever studious nature of the Students of OAU". However, in an exclusive chat with OAUpeeps on the inspiration for the Painting, Mr Pelumi said;
"One major thing is the architecture...the strong building. Also, the way students move from their different rooms to the water point to fetch water irrespective of their class, wealthy family or poor, all just have to get their buckets and fetch. Also there's no boss anyway, all just have to queue to get water.
Also, the water point is where students meet and discuss. Reading of articles or posters too is not left out, being pasted at the water point; Sug stuff, Religious stuffs, Buying of "fufu", megabytes "data for sale", phone for sale. A lot happens at the water point.
Despite the fact that water hardly runs in the blocks. The wise students get up early or late in the evening to fetch water. If they don't, they have no option than to get pure water but we all know thats for the rich.  Others have got to go to classes without taking their bath. The water point is my center of Focus.  The school management should help restore all the spoilt water pipes and tanks in different hostels. 
The bright light bulbs in the buildings are just my own personal input, most are damaged. In the 70s I guess Electricity was constant and available. It's a way of passing out a message that we need constant Electricity."

Also commenting on the future of the painting, he stated that he could not say anything concerning that for now.

OAU Freshmen Still Unable To Secure Accommodation As Resumption Approaches

A good number of the Freshmen of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-ife, still remain unable to secure Accommodation despite resumption being less than a week away. It would worthy to note that the initial activation for accommodation request for the Freshmen was done on the 24th of April, 2016. However, the accommodation especially for female freshers was allegedly said to have been deactivated less than 48 hours after, with the accommodation request access for the male students lasting a few days more.
  Again, the University announced the reactivation of the portal for the Freshmen to secure Accommodation on the 20th of May, 2016 giving most the young abecedarians some hope. However, claims have risen that the said activation barely lasted for more than fifteen (15) minutes as majority of these students remained Unable to secure bedspaces after the said activation and there are also some other claims that the portal was only activated for some departments.

It should also be recalled that the Division of Students Affair had earlier made a release indicating that there were about 9,500 bedspaces for 7,500 freshers and perhaps more finalists (ignoring other classes of students entitled to accommodation). This is perhaps why the freshers are experiencing these serious problems. We hope the University Management through the Division of Students Affairs is able to manage the situation soon enough as a high number of these Freshmen remain without accommodation as their Resumption fast approaches.
