BRIGHT EMEFIE

By every world standard, Prophet Temitope Joshua deserves more honour than he is getting, especially in his native country, Nigeria. Over the years, the highly revered man of God has become an influential universal figure going by the level of his involvement in causes that advance the lot of humanity all over the world. His recent hint about relocating abroad should be seriously looked into by the Federal Government which stands to lose billions in foreign exchange should the respected prophet relocate to Israel.
Prophet T.B. Joshua has become the singular benefactor of Nigerian deportees from Libya who usually throng his ministry for succour whenever they are dumped at the airport and left to their fate in a country blessed with oil and many other resources.
According to findings, the man of God has spent about N200 million in cash and kind towards the rehabilitation of these deportees most of who had been languishing in Libyan prisons for years. Most of the deportees who spoke to journalists recently cited unemployment as the major reason for their decision to embark on the risky journey to north Africa. According to a few of them, the number of Nigerian immigrants who have died on the Mediterranean Sea is even more than the number that come back alive. They therefore urged the Nigerian government to emulate the efforts of Joshua who never closes the doors of his ministry on them.
For the record, between Friday May 12 and Wednesday May 17, 2017, a total of 450 Nigerian deportees visited The Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCAON) in Lagos where they were received and accorded love and care. According to a journalist who witnessed the event, they received the sum of N13 million with almost one thousand bags of rice. With all these charitable gestures, Prophet Joshua surely deserves more honour in Nigeria. Even though one may not rule out religious politics on the part of some envious men of God who are not happy with his prominence and achievements in both domestic and international arena, it is expedient for the government to realise that the man of God has been a shining light for Nigeria and Africa both economically and spiritually.
Lest I forget, I read with serious displeasure the response of Pastor Chris Okotie to Prophet Joshua’s plan to relocate to Israel and could not just swallow the anger that crept up in my heart. First, Okotie should know that he is not in any way equal to Prophet Joshua. He should just concentrate on his own ministry and stop antagonising the prophet. What locus does he has to pull down a clergyman like Prophet T.B. Joshua? And why does he like attacking and rubbishing the integrity of other men of God?
I have never met Prophet Joshua but I watch Emmanuel TV every other day. What impresses me about this man of God is his humility and love for all Christians and those who do not share the same religion with him. He is arguably the only Nigerian cleric who does not preach hate. Even Muslims love him on account of his impartiality in terms of extending charity to the needy. In Northern Nigeria, the name T.B. Joshua elicits feelings of nostalgia because of the wonderful works of charity God has been using him to do in the region.
Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has also opined that the founder of the SCAON, must not be allowed to relocate from Nigeria.
Reacting to the report recently, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain said the prophet should not be allowed to relocate from Nigeria because he is needed now more than ever in the country.
In a series of tweets on his social media handle, Fani-Kayode wrote: “We will not allow T.B. Joshua to leave Nigeria and relocate to Israel. He is one of God’s end-time generals. We need him now more than ever.
“It is almost over. The beast is dying. The flesh is rotting. The vultures are gathering. Yet even in death he revels in wickedness. Fear God!”
Finally, I will like to use this medium to appeal to the Nigerian government to consider honouring Prophet Joshua with a national honour. He deserves even more than that. There is hardly any man of God in Africa that has attracted global attention like the Arigidi-Akoko-born cleric who has continued to pay more charitable attention on others and less on himself. It is not for nothing that YouTube recently gave an award to Emmanuel TV as the most viewed Christian network, and most visited site in the world.
