TB Joshua, as he’s also known, is said to have said during the Emmanuel TV Partners Meeting on Saturday 6, 2021, that – “There is a time for everything – a time for coming here to pray and a time to return home.”

“Time for everything – time to come here for prayer, and time to go back home after the service,” delivered Prophet TB Joshua during the Emmanuel TV Partners Meeting on Saturday, June 5, 2021.

”The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations, and Emmanuel TV Family appreciate your love, prayers, and concern at this difficult time, and request a period of privacy for Prophet TB Joshua’s family.”

TB Joshua, who was he?

Among other distinctions, the Nigerian government honored him in 2008/9 with the Office of the Order of the Federal Republic (OFR) and Irohin-Odua voted him the Yoruba man of the decade.

Forbes ranked Joshua as Nigeria’s third-richest pastor as of 2011, although a statement from the church denied the report.

His controversial nature led him to even be blacklisted by the Cameroonian government in 2010.

Joshua’s official biography mentions that, according to him, he spent 15 months in his mother’s womb and narrowly avoided death after a quarry explosion near his home sent rocks through its roof just seven days after he was born.

Between 1971 and 1977, Joshua Balogun Francis attended St. Stephen’s Anglican Primary School in Arigidi Akoko, Nigeria, although he failed to complete a single year of secondary school.

After his schooling ended, he worked at various casual jobs afterwards, including carrying chicken waste at a poultry farm. He was known as a “small pastor” in school because of his love for the Bible.

Joshua had attempted to join the Nigerian military but was unable to do so after a train breakdown left him stranded on the way.

On June 5th, TB Joshua passed away at home.
