Collapsed building: Jonathan visits Synagogue

President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday visited the collapsed guesthouse at a mega-church in Lagos, promising to investigate the cause of the tragedy as the death toll hit 86, rescuers said Saturday. “The president came to the church this morning to see things for himself. He met with Prophet T.B. Joshua and expressed his condolences to the bereaved families,” Ibrahim Farinloye of the National Emergency Management Agency told newsmen. He said Jonathan promised to investigate the cause of the September 12 collapse of the guesthouse at Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) which left scores trapped in the debris. Farinloye said the death toll now stood at 86 as against the previous figure of 84 after the various emergency teams involved in the operation had reconciled their figures. “You are aware that several rescue teams at the state and federal levels were involved in the operations. We sat together and reconciled our figures which has now brought the death toll to 86. But those rescued still stands at 131,” he said. Farinloye could not say if the new death toll included 84 South Africans who had been confirmed dead in the incident by the country’s high commissioner to Nigeria Lulu Mnguni. It is believed that there were 349 South Africans visiting the popular church in the Ikotun district of the city at the time of the collapse. The church’s leader Joshua, who has blamed the incident on sabotage, is one of Nigeria’s most well-known Pentecostal preachers and is referred to by followers across the world as “The Prophet” or “The Man of God”. He claims to work miracles, including raising people from the dead and healing the sick, and foreseeing disasters. The Lagos state government has accused the church of adding extra floors to the existing structure without approval.

[Horrible The End Is near] Pastor Orders Female Congregants To Come To Church Without Underwear For Christ To Enter Their Lives

A pastor in Kenya is making headlines for recently banning his female congregants from wearing underwear to church, telling them to avoid wearing the garments in order to be closer to God. The pastor, described only as the Rev. Njohi by The Kenyan Daily Post, reportedly asked his female congregants at the Lord's Propeller Redemption church in Dandora to arrive at Sunday's service without underwear or bras. The pastor's reasoning was that the undergarments are "ungodly," and people need to be "free in 'body' and 'spirit' to receive Christ," according to the local newspaper. The church is located in an eastern suburb of Nairobi. According to Nigerian Watch, the pastor also said he made the new rule for women so God can enter their bodies easily. The pastor added that women who continue to wear undergarments to church will suffer "dire consequences," and encouraged mothers attending his services to check their daughters to make sure they had obeyed the new rule. As UK Metro reports, an eyewitness attending Njohi's congregation says many of the women attending the services did in fact obey the rule, showing up to the church without underwear. The UK Metro points out that it is unclear why Njohi has advised women to leave their undergarments at home but still allows men to wear theirs. Njohi has received media attention for his strange new rule, and some are not pleased with the pastor's edict, arguing that it is an attempt to take advantage of women under the ruse that they are doing something godly. "This SICK Pastor probably wanted to lay hands on these unsuspecting women folk!" commented News One, a website describing itself as catering to "black America." Twitter comments regarding the news ranged from people saying "wow!" to "shaking my head."
