TB Joshua used to be like Odumeje back in the days. You see all these shows Odumeje puts up, TB Joshua was the one who started it.

TB Joshua used to be like Odumeje back in the days.

You see all these shows Odumeje puts up, TB Joshua was the one who started it.

The only difference between Odumeje and TB Joshua, was that the internet wasn’t as advanced as it was back then. TB Joshua came into limelight as far back as the 80s!

If there are still pictures of him as far back as the late 80s and early 90s, you’ll see that he used to look so unkempt and tattered. The only folks that used to associate with his church back then, were the white garment people.

I mean, this is someone who people alleged had a large snake living in the lake inside his church!

TB Joshua couldn’t speak English properly back then. He still couldn’t till he passed on, but his grammar was worse.

When the internet started becoming popular, he rebranded his church. Polished his English and dressing a little bit, then went live on satellite TV.

Then, he got Pastor Chris Oyakilohme to come pay him a visit, because no pastor from any mega church agreed to associate themselves with him.

It was when Pastor Chris Oyakilohme came, that TB Joshua laid hand on his back and he in turn laid hands on a crippled man, and they claimed to heal him.

It turned out that the said man wasn’t crippled persay. He just had an issue standing up for long, because he was always fainting. So he resorted to using a wheelchair. Yeah, do the math… The healing wasn’t an actual healing.

A lot of people who TB Joshua claimed to have cured of Aids and told them to stop taking their medicine, actually came back to say that when they went for another test, they were still positive. In fact, a South African man who TB Joshua asked to stop taking his HIV drugs, claiming he was healed, later died at the age of 40 from AIDS.

Go on the internet, these things are documented.

After Chris Oyakilohme visited TB Joshua, a lot of mega pastors have not associated themselves with him. Have you seen Oyedepo or Oyedepo in Christ Embassy before? Or, have you seen Pastor Chris being invited to popular conventions like Shiloh or Pastor Paul Adesina’s praise concert? All other pastors of mega churches are usually there, except for Pastor Chris.

When TB Joshua was alive and even in death, many pastors never recognized him as a true man of God. The head of CAN and PFN refused to register his church under their body.

Oh! One Pastor who was vocal in his criticism of TB Joshua, was Chris Okotie. He called him a prophet of Baal. As a matter of fact, Chris Okotie and Oyakhilome used to be good friends, until he went to visit TB Joshua’s church.

Chris Okotie then came out to say that Oyakhilome went to visit Joshua to join a secret cult and that’s where he got his healing powers.

Omoh, so many controversies surrounding this man.
