One 'Strange' Aircraft

Now, as an individual blessed with a brain that is functioning optimally, would you rather focus on speculation when the facts are staring at you right in the face?. Would you rather believe a tale that has not been proven (and which might never will) over an unfortunate situation that has occurred before our very eyes?. My guess is "Hell to the No"!, you are waaay too smart and educated to have such a wayward line of thought. As far as I am concerned, the 'strange aircraft' conspiracy theory is absolute bull... nothing but a mere speculation, a mere "perhaps", a mere "seems like", because no one is 100% sure that the so-called aircraft had anything whatsoever to do with the collapsed building (except of course, TB Joshua and his cohort). For the love of God, we do not even know the colour of this strange aircraft!. If we at least do, experts will surely be able to verify if it is the same aircraft that flew across 4 times, and collapsed the building, by probably dropping some magic potion on the building or by dropping one very advance hi-tech device (sounds stupid, but isn't that what he is trying to make us believe?). As it stands, we don't . But what we know for sure, what we know for a FACT, is that the said building was not meant to carry the capacity it carried just before its collapse. What we know for a FACT is that the building was initially a 2-storey building burdened, rather unfortunately, by another 3 storeys. What we know for a FACT is that the building eventually fell like a pack of cards in about 3 seconds (or less). What we know for a FACT is that scores of people seeking the face of God eventually lost their lives in a supposed 'holy environment'. What we know for a FACT, according to the Lagos State Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Mr. Olutoyin Ayinde, is that this building HAD NO APPROVED BUILDING PLAN. And most certainly, what we know for a FACT is that this is or was a tragedy, a fatal error that could have been prevented!. To make matters worse, the statement released by the church, where no reference whatsoever was made to the fact that the collapsed building might have/might have not been approved, in my opinion, just showed their gross insensitivity. The only thing close to an explanation that was given, was that of the strange aircraft which we've probably heard about a thousand times already. They simply saw, and still see this as an attack on their 'spiritual leader' and not as carelessness on their part. They didn't see the need to give full details to the concerned public, obviously trying to cover up the ones that might portray them in a bad light. More like they were only really concerned about the image (or should I say 'brand') of the church and their revered spiritual leader. As for me, trying to play the "they-are-after-my-life" card by TB Joshua is something I'll be smart enough to take with a pinch of salt. Not because I hate the man (I don't), nor because I don't value his life as a human being (I do), but because I perfectly understand that as a public figure (rich/famous) whether you like/accept it or not, there is a pretty good chance that your life is under threat, due to the fact that not everyone within/outside your circle will be pleased with your achievements. Besides, a pastor who has been, for many years and still is, constantly fighting demons and battling all kinds of agents of darkness (apparent direct threats to his life) should have very little to be scared of. No?. Ok, moving on. That said, I implore all Nigerians to focus on the fact and ditch this cock and bull story. We SHALL NOT be swayed by it until it is proven as a fact. Now, God said in the Bible (don't ask me where) dat "no sinner shall go unpunished". In this case, those responsible for the deaths of these scores of people and injuries sustained by several others, due to their negligence and obvious carelessness should not be allowed to go unpunished!. Yes, the ministry has to 'mooooove'. Yes, the ministry has to grow, expand and thrive. But it SHOULDN'T be at the expense of innocent souls. Be careful people, we are now in a world of 'strange aircrafts' and 'conspiracy theories'. #OwnUpToYourMistakes #StopInsultingOurCollectiveIntelligence #RIPtotheDeparted The Freedom Writer P.S: If you think I wrote this because I have anything against TB Joshua or SCOAN as a whole, Guess what, I gat no worries, won't lose sleep because of another brainwashed idiot. Bye!
