Coronavirus tb joshua reacts to lagos governments restrictions on church activities
I'm assuming you're referring to the reaction of TB Joshua, a Nigerian pastor and founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), to the restrictions imposed by the Lagos State Government on church activities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
On March 29, 2020, the Lagos State Government announced a ban on all religious gatherings, including church services, to curb the spread of the coronavirus. This move was met with resistance from some religious leaders, including TB Joshua.
In a video message posted on his social media channels, TB Joshua criticized the government's decision, saying that it was an "attack on the church" and that it would lead to "chaos and confusion" in the country. He argued that the church was not a breeding ground for the virus and that the government's restrictions were unnecessary.
TB Joshua also claimed that he had received a vision from God, in which he was told that the government's restrictions would not be effective in stopping the spread of the virus. He said that the only way to stop the virus was through prayer and fasting, and that the government should focus on providing medical care and support to those affected by the virus.
The reaction of TB Joshua to the government's restrictions was widely reported in the media and sparked a heated debate on social media. Some people supported his stance, arguing that the government was overstepping its bounds by restricting religious activities. Others criticized him, saying that his reaction was irresponsible and that the government's restrictions were necessary to protect public health.
It's worth noting that TB Joshua's reaction was not unique. Many other religious leaders in Nigeria and around the world have also spoken out against government restrictions on religious activities during the pandemic. However, TB Joshua's reaction was particularly notable due to his large following and influence in Nigeria.
