<\/a>Man of the moment: Banned from visiting Cameroon <\/p><\/div>\n
The communiqu\u00e9 written in French reads in part \u201cThe Ministry of Foreign Affairs warns those who by naivety or deception of Emmanuel TV\u2019s captivating images, or even those who by hopelessness, envisage taking the pilgrimage to Pastor T.B. Joshua\u2019s Synagogue Church Of All Nations in Lagos, that they will do so at their own risk.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Cameroonian Government warns these pilgrims that they will face the consequences alone. This is motivated by the painful and shameful fact that Cameroonian men and women, in search of deliverance and blessings, once in that church, find themselves in bestial and pitiable conditions.<\/p>\n
\u201cWomen are raped; pilgrims dispossessed of their belongings by armed robbers and left to sleep in the streets at the mercy of gangs. Many cases of assassinations have even been recorded. And this is without other cases that are not recorded at the Cameroonian Embassy in Lagos with the victims too ashamed to narrate their infernal odysseys once they are out of Hell,\u201d the Minister said.<\/p>\n
The Minister said that while the bible asks us to be discreet with gifts and donations to the poor, T.B. Joshua is seen daily dolling out bags of rice to indigent people.
\nCameroonian newspapers which published the communiqu\u00e9 this week tell tales of hundreds of Cameroonians who sold their properties or borrowed money in the hope of getting miracles in T.B. Joshua\u2019s Church, only to be disappointed in Lagos.<\/p>\n
The newspapers report that Joshua\u2019s TV station has gained popularity in Cameroon and many people are tempted to take the trip and receive healings and sudden blessings.
\nIt says that Joshua is now in many households in Cameroon and many people believe the flashy images they watch on television.<\/p>\n
One newspaper writes in French \u201cwitnesses who come back from that pandemonium reveal that to secure an appointment with this Jesus-Christ-reincarnate, they had to spend 150, 000 FCFA (about N50, 000) and the amount keeps going up, depending on the treatment and the case.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis has led to confusion and disillusionment from Cameroonians, who on their way to Damascus, now find themselves refugees at the Cameroonian Embassy in Lagos.\u201d<\/p>\n
The newspaper report says further: \u201cThere are many here in Cameroon, convinced of the power and the blessings of this \u201cman of God\u201d. However, they forget that Jesus Christ is in our hearts through faith and with our practice of the Ten Commandments and our relationship with one another. Before the publication of the communiqu\u00e9 by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the bible said over 2000 years ago, \u2018And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceives you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many\u2019.\u201d
\nWhen contacted this morning, T.B. Joshua denied that he has been blacklisted in Cameroon.<\/p>\n
He said that Cameroonians who come to his church only heard about him in Cameroon and started trooping to the church in Ikotun, with most of them without accommodation.<\/p>\n
He said that had he been aware of their presence around his church, he would have provided accommodation for them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
