FRESH PROTESTS AGAINST RACISM ROCK USA AFTER ANOTHER POLICE SHOOTING, CONFIRMING TB JOSHUA’S PROPHECY

Fresh nationwide rallies in USA denouncing police brutality have been triggered after the death of another African-American man, Rayshard Brooks, at the hands of police.

Brooks, 27, was shot twice in the back, during an encounter with two policemen in Atlanta, Georgia.

Police responded to a call Friday night about a man sleeping in a car outside a fast-food restaurant. For more than 20 minutes, Brooks responded to questions calmly and complied with officers’ requests before they tried to arrest him.

During the arrest, a struggle ensued before the officer shot Brooks three times as he attempted to run away.

Hours after the killing Friday night, Atlanta police chief Erika Shields stepped down and the officer who shot Brooks, Garrett Rolfe, was fired.

On Monday morning, protesters flooded streets in downtown Atlanta decrying Brooks’ death and demanding an end to systemic racism.

The unfolding events bear witness to a word of prophetic warning Nigerian cleric TB Joshua had sent to US President Donald Trump two weeks ago.

On 28th December 2019, Prophet TB Joshua had initially warned America in his prophecy for 2020 that “approach to the security issue will affect the candidates and swing voters in the next election.”

After the killing of George Floyd sparked protests across the nation, Joshua sent a public message to President Trump, warning him that “another one is coming” and calling on the President to appeal to the people and security “in a language that will douse the tension”.

“President Trump, wake up to checkmate this,” the Nigerian cleric wrote on May 31st 2020 in a message published to his official Facebook Page followed by 4.1 million people. “It will go beyond this. Another one is coming… Where there is no vision, people perish.”

Joshua called on Trump to look beyond his ‘palace’ “for God’s authority” and insisted on the need to “act now”.

“More appeals to the people and security are required – in a language that will douse the tension and stop this situation – so we can then commit the future one into God’s hands,” he cautioned.

Multiple analysts have corroborated Joshua’s message by blaming Trump’s divisive rhetoric as one of the causes of inflamed racial tensions in USA.

“Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us,” the former US Secretary of Defense, General James Mattis, wrote in a scathing rebuke on Trump for his response to the protests.

TRIBUTE TO PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI, GCFR With a deeply heavy heart and profound sense of personal loss, I join millions of Nigerians and friends around the world to mourn the passing of our former President, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR. I extend my heartfelt condolences to his beloved wife, Hajiya Aisha Buhari, his children, and his entire extended family. I also condole with the government and people of Katsina State, especially the Daura Emirate, where President Buhari’s journey in life began — a town whose name has become inextricably linked with his legacy. President Buhari’s record of service to Nigeria is almost unparalleled. From the battlefield to the ballot box, he stood as a sentinel of duty. As a military officer, Head of State, and twice-elected President, he offered over five decades of his life to the service of our nation in times of strife and in peaceful times — guided always by a belief in discipline, integrity, and nationhood. What often went unnoticed in public commentary was his unwavering commitment to the core values that bind any serious society: order, punctuality, and accountability. He did not just talk about these values; he lived them. He was perhaps the most punctual public servant I ever encountered — never late to cabinet meetings, always respecting the time of others. It may seem a small thing, but in governance, it is everything. It sets a tone. He had a deep yearning for a society governed by rules, not by impulse. This found early expression in his War Against Indiscipline, a campaign often misread as rigid but rooted in a desire to rebuild a citizenry of order, courtesy, and civic responsibility. I feel privileged to have served in his cabinet — first in the consolidated Ministry of Power, Works and Housing, and later in the restructured Ministry of Works and Housing. President Buhari was not a man to micromanage; instead, he gave you the space and the trust to deliver. With that trust, however, came the highest expectations of discipline, results, and honesty. He had a quiet strength. Yet, within and outside the cabinet, I witnessed his compassion — his deep concern for the poor, the pensioner, the soldier in the trenches, the almajiri child, and the underserved in every part of this country. Under his leadership, the nation confronted formidable challenges: insurgency, economic volatility, a global pandemic, and deep political tension. Yet he remained consistent — never ruled by noise or poll ratings, only by the burden of responsibility and his belief in posterity’s judgment. His death marks the end of a defining chapter in Nigeria’s journey — one marked by sacrifice, moral authority, and patriotic resolve. But even in death, President Muhammadu Buhari leaves behind a living legacy: one of service above self, of discipline without drama, of truth without theatrics. May the Almighty Allah (SWT), whom he served with devotion and humility, forgive his shortcomings and grant him eternal rest in Aljannah Firdaus. Adieu, Mai Gaskiya as you were fondly referred to. Nigeria salutes you. Signed, Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN CON
