Lagos Govt warns TB Joshua not to accept Ebola victims in his church

The Lagos state government has warned pastor TB Joshua of Synagogue Church of All Nations not to accept Ebola victims if they come to him for healing.

According to The Nation officials of Lagos State Ministry of Health and the Federal Government, led by the Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Jide Idris, visited him seeking his cooperation in ensuring victims of the deadly virus are not brought to his church for healing. Synagogue is a popular destination for sick people who go there for divine healing.
"We have our strategies that we intend to share with you. Again, we need to know the resources you have here because whether it is one or two cases, if they are allowed to get out, it is a major problem. We are here to work together on how to contain this disease,” Idris told the cleric." Dr Idris reportedly told Joshua. Continue...

The commissioner added that the visit is one of the state government’s strategies of sensitizing faith-based organizations on the need to cooperate with the government to prevent the spread of the disease in the country by educating the worshipers to report health issues to medical experts.

Idris said the Federal and Lagos state government are working hard to prevent a spread of the virus into the country, the delegation has deemed it fit to educate and create awareness among the multinational congregation on the disease and how it can spread.

“We are here to engage you positively, we know the powers of this House and your powers and we are duty- bound to protect you and your congregation. We have no doubt the power God has given you, we can’t do that, but we want to help and make it work stronger,” Director, Centre for Disease Control (CDC), Professor Abdulsalami Nasidi, another member of the congregation told the prophet

Smart one from the Lagos state government, because the chances that people will soon start trooping from all over Africa for healing are high

Linda,be careful with your headlines.i watched this news yesterday and he wasn't warned as you put it.that aside,I pray we all act wisely.seek medical attention alongside divine intervention,the church however does not have the resources to harbor an infected person,
Also report ALL suspicious cases,
Nigeria is too large to survive an outbreak,please lets contain it.

The man of God said it himself during the service yesterday.He advised countries that were affected to obey the border laws and be a good citizen.He promised to send 2000 anointing water each to the said countries.

Story, they should worry about not allowing the stuff to spread and not intruding with TB Joshua's ministry. Now they believe he can really perform wonders !!

Angie said...

Linda, your caption, na waa!
Warned ke?...Does TB Joshua work at the border?.. They had a meeting about Ebola disease asking him to use the medium of Emmanueltv to tell those countries affected to be good Christians by adhering to the regulations of not entering other countries not affected.
WHO was also in that meeting and not just Lagos state govt health officials.
And yes, Prophet TB Joshua said if invited to those countries, he'll go and see what God can do through him for those affected.

Good morning and a blessed week to us all!

Linda, you don't have commit editorial errors. He was not warned. They actually went there because they know he has people coming to his church from everywhere hence, the visit to intimate him of the Ebola scourge. He was not warned, please correct your caption.It is misleading.

Is it only TB Joshua that performs healing? I think they should inform all other churches too...

I hope he will listen to the professionals advise. They should also sensitize the people living within and around Synagogue church, not to accept any sick person in their house, because landlords and even some tenants who live within that Ikotun-Egbe area of Lagos, has turned their houses and apartments into lodging accommodation in other to make a daily living. Lagos government should take note of this.... hanikomo1@yahoo.com

Good one, but matters of faith are beyond human understanding. Considering the nature of the diseases, pple should be carefull and visit the synagogue to pray against it and never to come near them as written in Pslm 91.

hrm paul ojeih said...

This country will always get ti wrong the first thing they should do is impose flight ban on Liberian impose border ban on them no movement on them and let me see how they can go to T.B and if TB insist on them coming the government should arrest him close his church down pure and simple we can not risk the lives of over 120million Nigerians just because one pastor no one corporate.
Ebola breaks out in Nigeria it will be disastrous.

Nigerians are very gullible when it comes to religion,a sensible move by the government cos b4 u know it some terrible people will start coming out claiming they have a special deliverance to cure Ebola but they sure as hell won't try it cos of the highly contagious nature of the disease who ever tries it with a true Ebola victim will for sure contract the disease too,Good thing the government is doing this, cos Nigerians are foolishly religious no offense intended but that's the gospel truth it's bcos of the same misguided believes that this scourge called Ebola has become an Epidemic in guinea, sierra leone, and liberia and could become a world wide pandemic if care is not taken.
