It's amazing it took 3 pages of reading through complete guff to come across something remotely reasonable. It will be interesting to see an explanation of why the cost of studying for a PHD at Oxford could be pegged at £100,000.00. You can get a ballpark figure by using this link. http://www.ox.ac.uk/feesandfunding/search/launch/

It's also incredible that no distinction is made between the shyster's money and that of his congregation. He has a lot of explaining to do if he has £100,000.00 lying around.

ekt_bear: The issue is that typically if you are accepted into a PhD program, you'll be working as a research assistant or teaching assistant. As a result, you don't have to spend any money out of pocket on tuition. And you are even paid a small salary.

That is why this story is strange to me.

atbu1983: what you are saying is not complety true in d UK (though very true like 6years ago). I have friends (including myself) with first class Bsc, distinction masters who cant get scholarship for PHD in d UK. Most foreigners doing PhD in d UK today came with scholarship from thier countries.

SlyIg: And what can i say than,'May God continue to bless you man of God'.

Oya,where dem! All those anti T. B. Joshua. How many of your pastors have done this to their poor members. Shey they are driving jets and building varsities around at the expense of the poor members.

Makweembo: Nigerian Pastor T.B. Joshua, well known for his expansive philanthropic endeavours, shocked congregants at his church, The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) on Sunday 18th November 2012 when it was revealed he has sponsored a Nigerian student to study a PhD in the University of Oxford to the tune of £100,000, approximately N26 million.

Miss Yinka Oduwole, who introduced herself as one of the youth who was brought up in The SCOAN and worked there extensively, testified how she had gained admission to study a PhD in Engineering Science in Oxford University, UK after a successful Master’s Programme in University College London (UCL). Yinka, who was equally sponsored in her Master’s Degree in Broadband Communication in UCL in which she came out with a distinction, said Prophet T.B. Joshua and Emmanuel TV Partners had paid the sum of £100,000 to enable her to study for a PhD in the prestigious Oxford University.

“My advice to youth all over the world is that they should pray as if everything depends on God and work as if everything depends on them,” Yinka, also a First-Class graduate from the University of Lagos, told the congregation and viewers worldwide on Emmanuel TV, equally counselling the youth to find a job in the church and actively engage in godly activities.

TB Joshua also revealed in the service how footballer Ogenyi Onazi, the SS Lazio starlet who was recently promoted to the Super Eagles of Nigeria and scored on his debut against Venezuela, was brought up in the church and worked there as well before attaining his current sporting success. Joshua revealed how he had sponsored Onazi and his colleague Sani Emmanuel to trial in clubs around the world including Premier League giants Chelsea and Tottenham, before arriving in SS Lazio, where he is currently playing for the senior team. Joshua revealed that close to $1m was spent in this process, to ensure the duo went to the right club to reach the heights of their potential.

According to Joshua, the reward for raising up such young people to become leaders of tomorrow in every field of expertise is immeasurable in monetary or material terms. “What you make happens for others, God makes happen for you. You are raised to raise others,” Joshua exhorted the crowd, counselling them to consider the future of their own children and what they were doing with their lives.

Forbes estimated that Joshua has spent up to $20m in charitable activities alone in the last three years. Thousands of less privileged students are currently studying in universities across Nigeria and around the world courtesy of SCOAN’s scholarship program.

caesaraba: Guess he's been attacked for giving out. Would he have been praised if he had strung up more money and bought a private jet which he'll seldom have need for?

After the last crisis over here in Jos, this man sent 2 trailer-loads of relief materials and some cash both to the Muslim community and another to the Christians. I wonder how most people think but if this isn't what Christianity is about then I'd rather be in the Ogboni Fraternity and have peace of mind.

And for those of you who are quick to defend your private-jet-riding, no-charitable-works worth of mention, earthly prosperity-preaching charlatans called G.O's, I think it's time you left your church and joined a Brotherhood for wealth. Both your outfits preach the same thing- wealth here on earth with no regards to your here-after, plus your neighbour, colleague and friends standing in your way shall die by fire! What's the difference? Ain't got enough balls to join the occult so instead you join a fellowship headed by a motivational-speaking, brain-washing pastorpreneur?

Whatever this man is (be it a true prophet or a false one), he preaches and shows love. I was his fiercest critic but alas! In the country of the blnd, the one-eyed man is king. So, get your pastorpreneurs to start doing noticeable charity works rather than build Universities that even the children of middle-class 'congregants' can't afford to attend. Period!

P.s: No amount of "let my enemies die by fire" would make you prosper. On the contrary, that will only diminish your fortunes to a point of irredeemable squalor. Jesus said, "Love thy neighbour and pray for your enemies." Not "against."

ehie: @sweet lemon god forbid that i try to explain my life to u, i dont live for you neither would i need ur certification to exist,however since u have dwcided to follow ur doctrine,i will seek to share certain truths.one,love ur neigbour as ur self,neigbour means friends,passebys etc,two giving toi the poor is lending to god,three,keep the scriptures in ur heart so as to meditate by it day and nigh,four,you are nothing,if u do not serve god or listen to his voice,he can raise up stones to take ur place,five,god is in every man,so treat people as u would treat god,six,beware of false prophet who teach self love and greed,i have done my part

Shollypopz: For all those saying he is broadcasting his works, Trust me when I say the only thing you get to hear is 1/100 of what he gives to the poor, crippled, widows/widowers, orphans.

I mean y'all, that guy doesn't have a personal account. #FACT!! I don't know if he is a God's messenger or na juju power he dey use. But I know it's either the requirement for his powers was to give cos that guy gives. Gosh, y'all don't understand when I say that guy gives!! No pastor, no church in Nigeria can come out and say they give quater as much as the Synagogue church. I don't mind u saying shit about the man of God, but before u talk trash, do ur research!

Do you think he knows a thread was created on NL about this?? The guy is too busy serving the poor, all u supposed Christians should start doing what the bible asks of u. Nowadays we are settling for a Christianity that revolves around catering to ourselves when the central message of Christianity is actually abandoning ourselves.

looknlaff: . STFU mister man. You winners aren't poor by faith or in real sense? I have friends who worship in your church that are broke asses.My bro-in-law is a diligent worker in your church who lost his only vehicle to accident 5yrs ago & has been patronising Okada since then without the church whom he devotes much of his time to, showing any form of sympathy. I sympathise with people like you who have remained brainwashed & hypnotized & without knowing it metamorphosed into african zombies. Wake up & smell the coffee. Mtcheeww.
