The BBC is set to release a 3-part investigative documentary alleging decades of abuse, sexual crimes, manipulation, and cover-ups linked to the late founder of SCOAN, TB Joshua. According to the BBC, more than 30 former members and workers described a hidden world of intimidation, rape, staged miracles, and silence enforced through fear and money. Some allege the abuse began when they were teenagers, continued for years, and was justified to them as being “for their salvation.” The documentary also reopens wounds from the 2014 SCOAN guesthouse collapse, where over 100 people died. Former insiders claim the church knew the building was structurally unsafe, ignored professional warnings, and later misled members with a false aircraft-bombing narrative. Families reportedly received cash payments allegedly meant to keep them quiet. Survivors say miracles were scripted, suffering was exaggerated for TV, and dissent was punished. Even TB Joshua’s own daughter reportedly says she was beaten, isolated, and thrown out after questioning allegations against him. With international figures, former disciples, and victims now speaking openly, many are asking uncomfortable questions Nigeria avoided while TB Joshua was alive. If these allegations were known for years, why was nothing done? Was this faith, power, or a carefully protected system of abuse? And should religious institutions be beyond scrutiny simply because of miracles and popularity? The BBC will air the documentary over three consecutive weeks. What’s your take — truth finally coming out, or another controversy too late? #TBJoshua #BBCDocumentary #SCOAN #FaithAndAccountability

Amorim cannot work miracles at Man Utd – Cristiano Ronaldo. Al Nassr forward Cristiano Ronaldo has said that Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim cannot work miracles in the Premier League. Amorim finally led United to three consecutive wins for the first time since his appointment in November 2024. However, that run came to an end last weekend when they drew 2-2 at Nottingham Forest. It has been a turbulent year for the Portuguese coach, as Manchester United recorded their worst-ever Premier League finish last season, ending 14th and trophyless after losing the Europa League final, thereby missing out on European competition this season. While United have shown positive signs recently, Ronaldo still has reservations about the club’s current situation. “He’s [Amorim] doing his best,” said Ronaldo, speaking on Piers Morgan Uncensored. “What are you gonna do? Miracles? Miracles are impossible. We say in Portugal, miracles are only in Fatima. You’re not gonna do miracles. Even the players. Manchester United have good players, but then some of them don’t have the mind, what is Manchester United.
