It’s True Prophet T.B Joshua Is Dead

Founder of The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN), Temitope Balogun Joshua is dead.

Gatekeepers News reports that Temitope Balogun Joshua better known as Prophet T.B Joshua died in Lagos, South-West, Nigeria.

Joshua died on Saturday shortly after concluding a programme at his church. His death comes a week before his 58th birthday.

The cause of his death is still unknown as many worshippers are in shock at learning of his passing.

Joshua, known for his popularity across Africa and Latin America has a huge social media presence with 3,500,000 fans on Facebook.

His YouTube channel, Emmanuel TV, had over 1,000,000 YouTube subscribers and was the world’s most viewed Christian ministry on the platform before it was suspended.

TB Joshua has been described as the “Oprah of Evangelism” and “YouTube’s most popular Pastor”.

He was awarded various accolades, notably receiving the Officer of the Order of the Federal Republic (OFR) by the Nigerian government in 2008 and being voted the Yoruba man of the decade by Pan-Yoruba media outlet Irohin-Odua.

T.B. Joshua was called one of Africa’s 50 most influential people by Pan-African magazines The Africa Report and New African Magazine.

In 2011, according to Forbes, Joshua was Nigeria’s third-richest pastor, although the claim was immediately denied in a statement by the church.

He was known to be controversial and was even ‘blacklisted’ by the government of Cameroon in 2010.
