Whether it’s addressing contentious
issues on Facebook, prophesying world
calamities or witnessing celebrity
‘deliverances’ in his Lagos-based church,
the name of controversial Nigerian
Pastor T.B. Joshua can’t seem to leave
the news of late.
The events of his church service
broadcast live via Emmanuel TV on
Sunday 23rd March 2014 proved to be
no different as The Synagogue, Church
Of All Nations (SCOAN) witnessed the
confession of two lesbians who said
‘demons’ were behind their lifestyle.
Maria Terese George from Delta State,
Nigeria explained to the congregation
that her poverty-stricken background
pushed her to seek help from an older
lady. However, she had ulterior motives
in promising to
help the attractive 19 year old. Maria
explained while speaking in the packed
church.
“She took me to a
club where we went
drinking. She took me
to her house and
started touching me.
Because I was drunk, I
responded. The day
after this drunken
encounter, Maria
(pictured above) had
an unusual dream. A
half-naked lady came
to me in the dream and
fed me with rice, stew
and meat.”
Upon waking up, Maria’s affection for
men disappeared and she began to
admire her fellow females.
“That was how the
spirit of lesbianism
entered me. I noticed
that whenever I saw a
female that was busty
and curvy, I would
always admire their
features… I became a
chronic lesbian,” she
admitted. The same
lady who introduced
her to lesbianism
brought her into a local
prostitution ring,
assuring her that the
riches she desired
could easily be
attained. If I needed
money, I would go to
meet men who were
very rich – politicians
and businessmen – but
if I wanted to enjoy sex
or feel ‘real’ love, I
would go for a
woman.”
Prostitution led Maria to a neighbouring
African country where her immoral
lifestyle seemed only to worsen.
However, resources disappeared as
readily as they arrived. After several
years of frustration, she decided it was
time to return to Nigeria.
