Temitope Balogun Joshua was a Nigerian televangelist and faith healer. He was one of the most influential personalities in Africa. Believed to have been born after being in his mother’s womb for 15 months and also having survived a near-death accident as an infant, he rose to become a self-proclaimed spiritual messenger of the almighty. Obedient to the divine call, he started a ministry with a mere eight members, of which he became the General Overseer. He was the leader and founder of the ministry organization ‘The Synagogue, Church of All Nations (SCOAN),’ which spreads his religious teachings and messages around the world. T.B. Joshua began the ministry at a small level and it slowly grew beyond the shores of Nigeria. The organization also runs a Christian television station called Emmanuel TV, and has gathered a large following over the years. He was also a notable humanitarian, providing aid to minorities and the underprivileged. T. B. Joshua published numerous videos claiming to document the healing of incurable disabilities and illnesses such as HIV/AIDS. He was considered to be one of those who have submitted to the will of God and embrace every act of the almighty with love and respect.
