Temitope Joshua is a Nigerian clergyman who has a net worth of $10 million. One of the richest people in Nigeria, Temitope made his fortune as the most controversial Christian minister, televangelist and faith healer who at the same time is an avid supporter of philanthropic causes. Joshua is probably best known as the head of the Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN), a congregation that he set up in 1987 and now accommodates more than 15,000 worshippers on Sundays.
In the case of the popular pastor, TB Joshua of the Synagogue Church of all Nations, the woman behind his success in ministry is his wife, Evelyn Joshua.
A bitter controversy has broken out for his divine powers to heal all sorts of incurable diseases like HIV/AIDS, cancer and paralysis. Being the perfect seduction for miracle-craving worshippers, Temitope Joshua and his SCOAN remain controversial both in Nigeria and abroad. The church has already opened branches in Ghana, the United Kingdom, South Africa and Greece.
Also, he continues to provide aid and all kinds of help to the underprivileged on national and international scales through his Another Ministry. Over the last few years, he has donated more than $20 million to causes in education, healthcare and rehabilitation programs for former Niger Delta militants. Moreover, he owns Emmanuel TV, a Christian television network available both on satellite and on the Internet via the Streaming Faith broadcast portal.
What causes TB Joshua Church to collapse?
Joshua has linked the tragedy to a strange aircraft “hovering” above the building shortly before it fell. A video was released on YouTube that allegedly showed the plane hovering around the building before its collapse. However, the coroner’s report unequivocally found the cause to be due to structural failure.
He offered what he said were anointing stickers and anointing water. When the Ebola virus broke out in West Africa eight years ago, he sent 4,000 bottles of holy water to Sierra Leone.
In 2013, four people died at a branch of his church in Ghana and 30 were injured in a stampede after his television channel announced that his anointing water would be given out free.
Dozens died in 2014 when a guesthouse at his headquarters in Lagos, Nigeria, collapsed, and church workers initially prevented emergency officials from helping rescue people trapped in the rubble.

Mr. Joshua was one of Nigeria’s millionaire class of Pentecostal pastors, many of whom preach a prosperity gospel that some say was imported from the United States, telling their adherents that faith will bring them wealth and success. He also claimed that thousands of people with health problems had been healed at his church.
Mr. Joshua called himself a prophet and regularly made prophecies on his Facebook page. In one of these, he said that he saw the winner of the U.S. presidential election in 2016 and that it was a woman. The post was later deleted.
In 2011, Forbes said he was the third-wealthiest pastor in Nigeria, with a net worth of $10 million to $15 million.
“God has taken His servant Prophet TB Joshua home — as it should be by divine will,” the announcement on Facebook read on Sunday. “His last moments on earth were spent in the service of God. This is what he was born for, lived for and died for.”
