the Synagogue Church Of All Nations, SCOAN, has chuckled at media reports that he is among the five richest pastors in Nigeria, saying that while riches are better than squalor, he does not even keep a bank account.

TB Joshua was reacting to a report by a blogger with Forbes, the American magazine that keeps a tab on the world’s rich, that he is the third richest pastor in Nigeria.

The Forbes blogger, Mfonobong Nsehe, had said that after intense research, he established that TB Joshua is worth between N1.5 billion and N2.5 billion, making him the third richest pastor in the country, after Bishop Oyedepo who is worth N27 billion and Chris Oyakhilome who is worth between N4.7 billion and N7 billion.

But, in a statement released by his church, the man in the Synagogue, as TB Joshua is known, said that while he is not against wealth, he is not a rich man and does not own a private jet.

He said: “Since the inception of this ministry we have given out all we received from God’s generous hands. We have made it our daily habit to give to those in need – the widows, widowers, physically challenged, little people, the fatherless and those rejected in society.

“All of this can be seen on Emmanuel TV – a station established to change lives, change nations and change the world by examples of how to spend more on others and less on ourselves. “We therefore cannot be categorised among the wealthiest in Nigeria because what money we receive is not accumulated but rather given out to those who need it most.”

Continuing, Joshua said: “Apart from money, assets that classify one among the wealthiest are not in our possession. For example, houses around the world or private jets. It is true, we do not own a private jet – not that there is anything wrong with owning one. They are a blessing and can be used to further the Gospel. But we do not own one. We are definitely not among the wealthiest in Nigeria. Take note, we are not against the wealthy or the richest or having private jets, assets or houses all over the world. We are definitely not among because there is not enough to keep.

In an interview yesterday with our correspondent, TB Joshua said that it does not make sense to accumulate billions of naira while there are millions of needy lurking all around him.“I will rather feed the hungry than to keep the money in the bank,” he said.

dats my man..if everyone thinks as such..
not that owing p-jets is not gud but:

I like this man. Keep up the good works sir!

While what he is saying is good, it doesnt apply to him. He is lying.

What is a lie ?

It is a lie that he doesnt hoard money in the bank.


With which money is he using to fund his tv station and his peeps in European universities?

"It is a lie that he doesnt hoard money in the bank.

What he is saying he does not own a personal account, the money he used to sponsor and help people is under
the organization account.That what he is saying.

What difference does it make? Who controls the organisation's account?

there is a difference for example when he leave the world you think the family will have full control of the money?

Why not? Afterall, he has to have a successor.

"Why not? Afterall, he has to have a successor."
those that are in a position to be a successor are not family members they are young men called the five wise men who
do the exact works he does.

Five wise men?

What nonsense. Do you even hear yourself? Five wise men?

No body wil agree that he is rich. Not even abrahimovic of chelsea,not even billgate

there is a supernatural wisdom that you do not know about .

FYI......I dont believe in god or the supernatural

Logboy03:"FYI......I dont believe in god or the supernatural"
Because you know nothing of the supernatural.

There is no evidence for god or the supernatural. None

Logiboy03:
"There is no evidence for god or the supernatural. None"
the fact that you have an eye to see, and ear to hear, a mouth to eat, legs to walk,
water created for you to drink, plants for food and medicine etc prove that there is a supernatural being
who created all this and not just something that comes by accident.

First mistake is to assume that we were created.


Read about evolution and the big bang

How does matter came into being?

@TB Josh.

Whether you are rich or not.
Whether you are true or not.
All I know is that your giving has not gone unnoticed.
Keep it up.

Yes the mafia could give charity and the Nigerian christian wouldnt care as long as it is done in jesus's name

Logiboy: "No one knows."
You mean no one knows if matter was created or not ? if you claim matter has a beginning it contradict natural laws ? if
you claim it had no begining it contradict natural laws ? either case will prove the supernatural.
you wrote:"Yes the mafia could give charity and the Nigerian christian wouldnt care as long as it is done in jesus's name"
you are the same type of people who will complain for pastors buying jet and not helping the poor.

its actually true.the next in line to T.B joshua are called the "wise men".they are not his relations and not all of them are nigerians

Logicboy03:

of course we dont care.when the japanese mafia decided to spend billions and deploy their members in order to help people after the tsunami,they were applauded.

Logicboy03:

Come to think of it.
Would you rather he bought private jet with the money than give to charity?

Delafruita: its actually true.the next in line to T.B joshua are called the "wise men".they are not his relations and not all of them are nigerians

That is not my problem with the issue. My problem is that they are called "wise men"- the marketing gimmick is so obvious.



Church is a business. TB Joshua's family could be the "shareholders" while the Wisemen are directors.

I would rather that he spoke the truth from his pulpit and empowered the youth and his congregation.

I would rather that he stopped making false prophecies and gave people belief in themselves to control their own future.


I would rather he used his influence to work with the govt and provide self-sustaining solutions for the masses or congregation rather than give money and bags of rice every year as a temporary solution

Logiboy"That is not my problem with the issue. My problem is that they are called "wise men"- the marketing gimmick is so obvious. Church is a business. TB Joshua's family could be the "shareholders" while the Wisemen are directors."
Many things "could be" while they may not be. Prove that they are not "could be"

Did I claim anything about matter? I knew from the start that you had no experience in debating issues?


We dont know = we dont know

We dont know is not = it had no beginning
