Fifty-one Nigerian deportees from Algeria, Libya and Niger unexpectedly thronged The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations on the 16th of October, 2020, seeking refuge after nearly losing their lives on a dangerous illegal journey to Europe for greener pastures.
Among them was Abdulrazak, a Law degree holder from Kano
State who described his ordeal during the journey. According to him, after
seeing the lavish lifestyle of the rich and famous on television, he decided to
leave his nation believing that once he arrived in Europe, his problems would
be solved. He sold everything he owned to make the long journey by road but
even that was only enough to get him to Algeria. It was while attempting to
cross the Mediterranean Sea to reach his final destination that he and his
colleagues were rounded up by the police.
Consequently, their journey ended in a deportation camp. Having lost virtually everything, with no means of survival, the returnees made their way to The SCOAN and upon learning of their arrival, T.B. Joshua blessed them with a total cash gift of ₦3 Million. With their hopes rekindled, shouts of joy filled the air as the unexpected cash gift was announced and handed over to them. As Christians, we are called to respond to all human needs for that is what love entails.
