Former President Olusegun Obasanjo and Pastor T. B. Joshua of Synagogue of all Nations, Ikotun, Lagos are probably the two most famous Nigerians known by South Africans. The very moment any of us mentioned the name Nigeria the next question will be about T. B. Joshua whom they adore and believe to be the greatest prophet to come out of black Africa. A young woman wanted me to take her to Lagos just for her to have contact with Pastor T. B. Joshua. Another young man said he has been saving just to pay a pilgrimage to Nigeria and worship in Pastor T. B. Joshua's church. When I told one of them that I am an Anglican, they were shocked as they could not understand why anybody living in Nigeria would worship in any other church than the Synagogue of All Nations! I felt proud and puzzled at the same time. Quite a number of prominent Nigerian pastors see T. B. Joshua as a controversial character. But here he is a household word, almost a saint and a hero. Indeed, a prophet is never known in his native land.

Fact or fiction? Can any Nigerians in SA confirm this?

Those who organised a coup against the Garry terrorists must be ruing their action now with threads like this being birthed everyday. What does it change if Obasanjo is the most popular in Afghanistan and TB Joshua the most popular in the republic of Zamunda? Mtcheeew!

Why are you so negative..
Why not look @ the positive side of matters..
Its not about what OBJ's name, Joshua or your name can change.. Its about appreciating what you have.
Come to think of it, can a person's name change anything? okay let me spell Obama "O-B-A-M-A" ..

now that am through spelling the name.. what does it change?!

"one can never get anything good from someone you hate"

If you continue to hate T.B Joshua for the next 30yrs.. You can not get anything good from his ministry, mind you... some 30million foreigners would be giving testimonies during the period you were hating..

Am tired of Nigerians it is lyke we are suffering 4rm something, i don't know. Virtualy we never see anything good in our self, to us our pastors are fake while we keep mentioning d names of some pastors abroad, made in Nigeria goods is bad and we keep on inporting inferior product and use it with pride, our language is vanacular while we speak another man's lang with pride and castigate peaple who could not speak or write it properly, our culture as turn rubish while proudly celebrate another man culture, our money suffer while we adore and flash dallars, euro and pounce, no job in our nation yet we create jobs outside the country with our national money. The only thing we are good at is to downgrade our own, abuse our tribes, figth over stupid things and distroy someone who is coming up.

Among the more educated South Africans, the likes of Wole Soyinka, Chinua Achebe and Fela, would be the most popular Nigerians as opposed to Pastor Joshua.

Yes, you are right.

Am a muslim, but many years ago sometimes i prefer watching on TV pastor Adeboye or pastor Adegboye of Rhema chapel because that time I found their preaching more sensible than most of other pastors that just jump around and say nothing.

But I don't know what both preach nowadays. Nowadays the pastors with jets rule. And money dictates.

Prophet Tb Joshua is the greates of all the men of God in Nigeria almost all the Africa nations want to visit is church in Nigeria, thousands of prigrims come to SCOAN every sunday to attend its sunday service. If u watch emmanuel.tv you will see what i am talken about.
