Crackdown on Nigeria TV miracles

<snip> from BBC News:

Nigerian broadcasters are no longer allowed to show miracles on television in a way which are not "provable and believable", say the authorities.

The National Broadcasting Commission says television stations which fail to abide by the ruling will be fined, and their equipment could be confiscated.

But no guidelines have been issued and broadcasters say they do not know how the new rules will be interpreted.

Nigerian TV is full of Pentecostal services which centre on miracles.

Hope this starts a trend and that ends up in the illegal/unconstitutional Vatican State which regularly attributes miracles to dodgy apparatchicks, when the going gets tough like more child sex abuse scandals surface ....

1. Wish they would do something about the Nigerian
e-mail scammers. You know, the ones that promise you millions if you will help them get their money out of the country.
