Had 2 encounters with pastor Joshua. In 1997 I had a 2 hour
interview with him and church members, the tape “disappeared” in our office.

In 2006 I met him at new synagogue, he asked what l thought of the
church. I said it was nice but wasn’t it more important to build people?

At each encounter he said my “spirit” was rather strong. I took it as a complement.

He is charming close up, hard to dislike, effect on his multi racial
congregation mesmerising. I saw what easy prey the desperate would be.

At last encounter people from around the world would kneel at the
door and crawl on knees to his presence to speak to him. My heart cried.

As per the disappeared tape, someone in his congregation close to the
staff probably stole it. Hours of prime sparring. I was 25.
Funmi went on to express what she felt in another tweet which read:
“Religion in Nigeria feeds fat on the carcass of people’s broken lives, unregulated by a weakened state. God save us all.”
