                                                        Nicholas Ibekwe

                         Yesterday, news broke about a certain journalist, Nicholas Ibekwe, who refused to collect a N50,000 bribe that Prophet T. B Joshua offered him amongst 14 other Nigerian journalists who happily collected the brown envelopes. Read Here

The brown envelop was said to be made available by the controversial prophet for the journalists to use in ‘fueling their cars…this Nicholas Ibekwe found appalling considering the fact that the pastor after his speech was reported to have asked the journalists to know what to write when they get to their different media houses.
Their is however a new development to the inflow of the revelations from the journalist. The Lagos State University English language graduate cum journalist has however taken to one of the social media site, Twitter this morning to reveal more of what he saw during his few minutes meeting with Pastor T. B. Joshua.
He made it known that aside from Nigerian journalists, foreign journalists were also offered bribes which they turned down blatantly as against what the Nigerian journalists did. Nicholas also made it known that since he released the audio yesterday, his family members have been receiving calls to warn him to stop making public all he encountered at the meeting. Nicholas who is billed to have an interview with a media house in South Africa later today according to him, made it known that he will not stop until the truth about everything is revealed.
Read some of his tweets below:

They’re already calling friends and family to warn me to stop. Let me make myself clear. I won’t unless they STOP me!

It would be recalled that last Friday, September 12, the six-storey guest house inside the church’s premises collapsed as additional floors were being added to the original two-storey building. After the collapse, the National Emergency management Agency, NEMA, had revealed that the Synagogue of Nations Church stopped them from doing their job.
