Church Collapses During Easter Vigil In Benue. 40 Killed by reagand200(m): 2:00am On Apr 08, 2012
A Catholic church building in the Village of Adamgbe, Mbayongo Vandeikya Local Government area of Benue collapsed at about 9:45 PM tonight killing some 30 villagers who were worshipping during the Easter vigil night at the church.

Parishioners of St. Roberts Catholic church Adamgbe Mbayongo were right in the middle of service when the church walls came tumbling, crushing at least 30 people to death. A survivor of the tragedy Michael Tyokyaa said the situation was very tragic as it took extremely long before any form of help could come their way. Police officers from Vandeikya township in the local government headquarters managed to get to the collapsed scene almost an hour after the church building.

Mbayongo-Vandeikya is a terribly poor community in Benue state that borders Obudu Cross River. The people are so poor, church attendance provides some sort of spiritual and psychological comfort to many.

Sovereign National Conference should be held and Nigeria should be split up. It is time for BOKO HARAM to have their Islamic Republic. The West can have their own Republic, Southsouth Republic, Biafra East Republic and Middlebelt Republic. That is the best solution i can envisage.

TB Joshua should have prophecise this to save life,
Excuse will be, GOD DID NOT REVEAL SUCH TO ME.

The ratio of such happening is high, but most prodictions or prophecy are ratio 50:50.

It will rain in December,
A sick old president will die
A Nigerian air craft will crash
Nepa will take light
Unpopular country will win the nations cup.
Nigeria will not win the world cup this decade.
President wife will give birth to a baby girl.
Boko Aram will strike again.
Nation will fight nation,
NAIRA wll fall against dollas

Are these prophecy?

Quite unfortunate, may their soul rest in peace.
