Lagos is now the centre of world media attention as journalists swoop on the city to witness and report a much awaited announcement by Prophet T. B. Joshua that he foretold two of the burning news items that have dominated the news since the beginning of the week. An incredibly large number of journalists have camped outside the church premises, eagerly awaiting the announcement by the prophet. One of the church members told a reporter, �I�ve never seen a crowd this big. The prophet can�t feed this multitude with five loaves of bread and three fishes but he can surely feed them with his anointing water. The special anointing water is selling at half price today and it can take care of anything from hunger through to Ebola.� There are also reports that makeshift camps erected by the growing number of journalists have spread onto three whole streets, causing major traffic jams in parts of the city. The lucky ones have however been able to secure places within the walls of the massive church compound. T. B. Joshua is expected to make the announcement any moment from now. To keep their spirits up while they wait for the announcement, a betting table has been set up where the journalists are staking a lot of cash on exactly what time the announcement will be made. Highly confidential sources in the Synagogue Church of All Nations who spoke to the media on condition of anonymity have hinted that in addition to announcing that he had already prophesied about the earthquake in Nepal and the riots in Baltimore, T. B. Joshua has something else for the media. The source said, �the prophet is going to predict the winner of the boxing match between Mayweather and Pacquiao.� If this happens, it will be the first time the prophet would have publicly made claims about an event which has not yet occurred.
