The hidden facts you didn’t know about Prophet TB Joshua

Published

on

Temitope Balogun Joshua, commonly referred to as T.B.Joshua, is a Nigerian pastor, televangelist and philanthropist. He is the founder of the Synagogue church of All Nations.

TB Joshua is a also a self proclaimed prophet and such, his service always attract a huge numbers of people. While so much has been said about this man of God.
But who really is this man Prophet TB Joshua?
Well, findings by this media outfit authoritatively gathered this about TB Joshua and his Synagogue Church of All Nations.
Prophet TB Joshua Anointing water, the anointing water is what holds the SCOAN family together. Literally speaking, according to the Church’s faithful, it is believed that the water has powers to cure a myriad of diseases and ailments – from spiritual to physical. Of late, the pastor claims that the anointing water is ‘The Blood Of Jesus Christ’ in a bottle.  These healing claim has further boosted the popularity of the water causing a mad rush for it during church programmes.
Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua was born on June 12, 1963, to a family in ondo state.
Findings reveal that TB Joshua went to St. Stephen’s Anglican primary school, but his parents found it difficult to pay his fees, Nevertheless, his love for the Bible and the Christian life made him stand out among his equals and also earned him the name ‘small pastor’.
As several reports, as well as witnesses, will have it, strange things happened during the time of the birth of the prophet. One of these events was that unlike the normal 9-month pregnancy, TB Joshua’s mother carried him for 15 months in her womb.
When he left his secondary school, he did some menial jobs like disposing and recycling chicken waste for farming purposes. Not being in school also gave him time to engage in Christian activities like organizing Bible studies for children. He, however, enrolled in evening school later on.
We also gathered that when pastor TB Joshua started his SCOAN ministry, he has a massive followers worldwide. Sooner than expected, he started  having branches in Nigeria, Ghana, London, Greece and many other part of the world. He explained that his ministry was a directive from God who anointed him, if we look today, the church which started with a few members has grown to a large Christian empire with over thousands members attending weekly Sunday service.
However, through his vibrant ministry, TB Joshua has attracted high-profile fans worldwide. He enjoys a cordial relationship with some of the well-known leaders in the world who pay him courtesy calls quite often. This list includes Ghana’s ex-president, John Atta Mills, former Zimbabwean, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, among others. Winnie Mandela, Nelson Mandela’s former wife has also visited the church.

Sources also revealed that among the prominent pastors in Nigeria TB Joshua is unique because of his philanthropist gesture as a man of God. On rather a positive note (depending on how you will look at it) TB Joshua is very charitable. According to a report released by Forbes, the pastor has given away around $20 million dollars in the last three years alone. Much of his contribution goes to healthcare, rehabilitation of militants from Niger Delta and education with unending support for security of the nation.
Testifying to the words of God, TB Joshua claims that he is God’s prophet and that he can predict the future. Some years back and most famous prediction came in  when he claimed that a certain African leader would pass away.  Bingu Wa Mutharika, Malawian president died, prompting his followers to say that it was evident the man was indeed a prophet.
In conclusion, TB Joshua is the type who keeps his personal life private. However, the public is well aware that the prophet is happily married to his wife, Evelyn Joshua, with whom he has three children. Despite the controversies surrounding the prophet, his kids are number one fans of their father’s ministry, as well as his activities.

FCMB Limits Exposure in Fraud Attempt

Published

on

 

More than ₦3 billion was targeted, but about ₦677 million reached the culprits, with recovery and prosecutions underway, reflecting how banks are responding to more sophisticated fraud risks.

Nigeria’s expanding digital banking sector is facing increasingly sophisticated fraud attempts, as financial institutions adapt to faster transactions and broader online services.

A recent case involving First City Monument Bank (FCMB), linked to fraudulent activity detected in December 2025, has drawn attention to how banks are responding to such incidents, with a focus on limiting exposure, recovering funds and working with law enforcement.

According to findings referenced in proceedings before the Lagos State Special Offences Court, the incident involved unauthorised transactions tied to a digital product. Early reports erroneously suggested more than ₦3 billion was lost. Subsequent clarification shows that over ₦3 billion was targeted, ₦2.4 billion was blocked and recovered, while ₦677 million got into the possession of the culprits. This outcome reflects the bank’s cyber security and monitoring capabilities, as well as improved collaboration among regulated financial institutions and with law enforcement agencies. Several suspects and beneficiaries have been apprehended, while recovery and prosecution efforts are ongoing, led by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Proceedings at the Lagos State Special Offences Court have resulted in convictions, including that of a repeat offender, with restitution orders issued. Related matters are also being handled at the Federal High Court in Lagos, where additional suspects are being tried in connection with the scheme. This process is aimed at ensuring that bad actors are identified and permanently blacklisted from the financial system.

Authorities say recovery efforts are continuing as additional funds are traced.

Analysts note that the pace of legal action reflects closer coordination between financial institutions and enforcement agencies in addressing cyber-related financial crime.

The case comes as banks contend with more complex fraud methods, including social engineering and automated exploitation of system processes.

As digital products and platforms expand, so too does the risk associated with cyber-crime and related fraud.

“The scale of digital banking means risks are evolving alongside the systems,” said a Lagos-based financial analyst. “Institutions are now judged by how they manage these events.”

Observers say the sector is moving toward a stronger focus on response and recovery, rather than prevention alone.

This includes improving monitoring capabilities, strengthening transaction controls and enhancing collaboration with regulators and law enforcement. The FCMB case, with limited exposure relative to the amount targeted and ongoing recovery, reflects that shift.

For customers, the primary concern is the safety of their funds. In this case, there has been no indication of losses affecting customer deposits. Maintaining that level of protection remains central to sustaining trust in the financial system.

Nigeria’s financial sector continues to grow, supported by digital innovation and expanding access to banking services.

However, analysts say fraud attempts are likely to persist as systems become more complex and interconnected.

They say institutions will increasingly be judged not only on their ability to prevent incidents, but on how effectively they respond and recover when they occur.

….congratulates new State Party Chairman, Warman Ogoriba

APC Deputy Governorship Candidate in the 2023 general elections in Bayelsa State, Great Joshua MacIver has declared his total commitment to the re-election of President Bola Tinubu come 2027, declaring that the Tinubu re-election project is non-negotiable.

Great Joshua MacIver, in his statement titled ” BAYELSA APC CONGRESSES: GOING FORWARD, A CALL TO LOOK INWARDS” and made available to newsmen in Yenagoa, warned APC leaders in the state to look Inward and take note of certain factors which may hinder or cut short our victory.

According to Great Joshua MacIver, such noticeable pitfalls include the imbalance in the united front being put up by the State Governor,Senator Douye Diri among various political blocs in the state.

In the statement issued at the weekend. Great Joshua MacIver stated that “First, before His Excellency, Senator Douye Diri, joined the APC in the state, there were clearly two political blocs that made up the party, with the approximate population ratios of the blocs standing at 95% to 5%.”

“After the entrance of His Excellency, Senator Douye Diri, ONLY THE SMALLER BLOC IS BEING CARRIED ALONG IN THE AFFAIRS OF THE PARTY, leaving the greater percentage to their fate, and this situation has the potential to build anger and dissatisfaction in our dear party.”

” The consequence of this has been the high level defection we have witnessed in the party recently and we believe more may likely follow, if we do not put our house in order.”

” If we do not pull together as a party, we may witness a situation where we will lose key stakeholders, especially after the State and National Assembly Primaries as well the Gubernatorial Primaries.”

“Finally, while it is very clear that we are the party to beat in the 2027 elections and that our loyalty to Mr. President IS NON-NEGOTIABLE, we must make haste to say that we cannot afford to create situations or loopholes in our unity which will be exploited by other political interests in the state. We cannot afford to under-rate anyone.”

“Our core interest remains the re-election of Mr. President, a project to which we have committed our all. We also pledge our total loyalty to the party as we have no alternative to the APC. However, our concern is that we must, as a party, look inwards and ensure that we do not create loopholes that can impede our common goal.”

Great Joshua MacIver, however congratulated the newly elected State Executives of the APC in Bayelsà State led by Hon. Warman Ogoriba, saying their emergence is welcomed at this critical time in our national history.

More than 100 other people were injured in the blasts that took place on Monday evening in the capital of Nigeria’s restive Borno state.

No group has claimed responsibility for the suspected attacks.

The deadly blasts come after a military post was attacked overnight Sunday to Monday, which authorities blamed on suspected Islamist militants.

This sad incident is coming barely two weeks after Primate Elijah Ayodele, the Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church specifically warned against attacks in some states. He mentioned these states while calling on security operatives to pay close attention to them.

These were his words:

“Another attack is coming up in these following states where the military must watch carefully and intelligently; Kano, Kaduna, Zamfara, Kebbi, Niger, Borno, Kwara and Kogi state. They want to do a deadly attack, it’s preventable but it depends on how they will handle it. I have told you about the danger coming up.”

Unfortunately, some of our military agencies don’t believe spiritual intelligence can save the country from so much danger hence, their neglect of this prophetic warning but now, it has been fulfilled with the miliary losing credibility by the day while Primate Ayodele continues to gain momentum.

Likewise, At least 26 passengers and crew sustained varying degrees of injuries on Monday following an accident involving the Kaduna–Abuja train, according to the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC).

Opeifa explained that the train departed Rigasa in Kaduna at 7:15 a.m. and was approaching Asham station around 9:16 a.m. when a loud bang was heard after the power car and trailing locomotive collided with one of the passenger coaches.

In July 2025, Primate Ayodele asked nigerians to pray not to see train mishap on the Kaduna-Abuja route.
