TB Joshua Named ‘Man Of The Decade’ In Nigeria
T.B. Joshua, the Nigerian cleric who is especially popular across Southern Africa, has been honoured as the ‘man of the decade’ for a prominent ethnic group in Nigeria.
Joshua received the commendation from IrohinOdua, a pan-Yoruba news outlet which caters for the over 35 million Yoruba people.
Additionally, outspoken Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka was named ‘Yoruba man of the year’ and prominent Nigerian statesman and social democrat Chief Obafemi Awolowo was posthumously awarded ‘Yoruba man of the century’.
According to the statement, the three personalities were selected after a careful consideration of the role each had played in the annals of modern Yoruba history.
Eulogising T.B. Joshua’s contribution to tourism in Nigeria, the Editorial Board Chairman for IrohinOdua, Prince Adeleke said, “The ancestral origin of The Synagogue has transformed from a dingy wasteland into a local Disneyland drawing, in one year, millions of visitors to Nigeria from Africa, Europe, the Middle East and America.”
Tragic evidence of Joshua’s potential to attract foreigners to Nigeria came on September 12th 2014 when a guesthouse in his premises collapsed, resulting in the deaths of 115 people. Government sources state that six out of every ten visitors to Nigeria are bound for Joshua’s church, a figure that has shown no signs of waning despite the tragic incident last year.
Adeleke continued, “We see in his handiwork, a quiet revolution to transform the world in ways unimaginable. Since we blew the whistle for nomination, we have received incalculable, baffling testimonials from royals and ordinary street folks leading us to a hidden light in a dark, malicious world where the poor remain the dreg and the end butt of repression, neglect and perpetual want.”
The popularity of Christian television station Emmanuel TV is increasingly evident in predominantly Christian nations such as Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe and South Africa where T.B. Joshua is a household name.

Ba Tumfweko u have stated again with this guy, he should be investigated if he is not a member of boko-haram? What makes him man of the decade cos he failed to pay the constructors of his building enough money and hence made short cuts which led to his building to collapse killing many. Y only a small group and not the whole Nigeria? Y doesn’t he allow people to come to his church for free but ask exorbitant fees? People learn not to follow blindly

“Naming TB Joshua anything besides a slum landlord, whose illegally constructed rickety building collapsed and crushed 120 people to death, would be yet another illustration that criminals are in fact WORSHIPPED in Nigeria.”

@mj banda, if u call yourself a christian do yourself a favour, u need to understand what prophesy is, a prophet speaks what God reveals to them, its NOT their job to find a solution, they can pray about it but God’s will prevails. Read your bible and stop talking ignorantly!!!!

The SCOAN is the biggest tourist attraction in Nigeria. TB Joshua is a big asset to Lagos and Nigeria.
But he should be in jail for manslaughter right now.
The scam artist should be locked up and the keys thrown into the atlantic ocean.

Only God is worth of the praise.God alone,when u begin to esteem a man,that man begins to grab praises that ought to be directed unto God,then that man becomes a foolish thing unto God.Whatever is highly esteemed by men HAS NO PART IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD,In other words its not of God

Any cultural group that honours a pastor is a useless group. Pastors encourage people to discard the religious aspect of their cultures saying it’s idolatry. Why should they be honoured? If i’m in position of authority, that man will surely be in prison right now. Bunch of criminals.

” Achutebe:
If you have travelled as a Nigerian to the majority of African countries, especially Southern Africa, you will know that Nigerians do n’t really value T.B. Joshua. Once people learn I am from Nigeria, one of the first questions they ask me is – do you know TB Joshua? The next thing is for them to ask for Anointing Water or Sticker! In terms of international exposure and tourism, I do n’t think we have anyone in either the secular or religious field that can be compared to TBJ, so I believe this commendation is well deserved.
ABSOLUTELY TRUE, MY GIRLFRIEND IS FROM ZIMBABWE, THE FIRST TIME I TOLD HER I’M FROM NIGERIA, THE FIRST SHE ASKED IS IF I KNEW T.B JOSHUA…. trust me now,,,,,, i just lied i attend his church and that i’m even a worker there,,,,,,,,, she accepted my proposal sharparly. even introduced me to HER family. they worship me like T.B now”

This is the effect of poverty in africa. When some one is starved and malnourished the brain does not fully develop. This also leads to easy gullibility by these people. Combine this with a message of hope, it is easy to get such people to be loyal and part away with the tiny bit of resources and dignity left in them. As they say, religion is the opium of the masses. It is the same in Zambia and how the PF won elections. Same theory applies. This is why in the UPND we will ensure that people empowered economically and socially. Vote UPND

He will tell you that he has a vision that tomorrow someone within southern africa will not win the lotto because the numbers given will be changed at the last minute. Also he will say that he has a vision that some one will recieve 10 naira in their phone but the evil forces will wipe it out before the person can use it
