A 2021 YouTube video by the QEDNG channel has regained relevance in the wake of the BBC Africa Eye exposé titled "DISCIPLES: The Cult of TB Joshua," that has revealed shocking allegations of abuse and torture by the late Nigerian preacher TB Joshua.
The video, uploaded in June 2021, shows a man described by some reports as "a Christian Elder simply referred to as Mr. White responding to a question about TB Joshua's demise.
His answer was full of praise for the late founder of The Synagogue, Church of All Nations (SCOAN) with details of several good things he believed TB Joshua had done in Nigeria and around the world.
In the interview, Mr. White recalled TB Joshua's prophetic abilities, noting predictions that came to pass concerning Nigeria, other African and European countries, and the world at large. He acknowledged the criticisms directed at TB Joshua by other church leaders but asserted that TB Joshua continued to thrive despite the opposition.
Furthermore, Mr. White recounted a statement made years ago by the late Charismatic Pentecostal preacher and founder of Church of God Mission International, Archbishop Benson Idahosa, who, in response to complaints about TB Joshua, reportedly said, "Leave him, leave him. If he is not of God, he will not survive seven years, but if he's of God, he will survive seven years, and if he survives seven years, then know that this man is of God." Mr. White, claiming to be a witness to this statement, emphasized the enduring impact of TB Joshua's ministry.
"Yes, I was there when he was making that statement in Benin. I'm a witness to it," he said.He highlighted the late TB Joshua was a great man of God known worldwide for solving problems, healing the sick, delivering the oppressed, and making Nigeria proud. Mr. White shared a specific anecdote about a Prime Minister whose life TB Joshua saved, leading to enduring honors for the late prophet in the Prime Minister's country.
The resurgence of this video adds an intriguing dimension to the ongoing discussions surrounding TB Joshua's legacy, especially in light of the recent BBC exposé.
TB Joshua, who died at the age of 57, was one of Africa's most influential evangelists, with top politicians, celebrities, and sports stars among his followers. He founded the SCOAN in 1987 and built an evangelical empire that stretched across the globe. He was also known for his philanthropy and his prophecies, which he claimed were divinely inspired. However, he was also controversial and faced criticism from other church leaders, who accused him of being a false prophet or using occult powers.
The BBC's investigation is the first time that multiple former church insiders have come forward to speak on the record about their experiences within the SCOAN. They say they have spent years trying to raise the alarm, but have been effectively silenced.
