FOUNDING OF SCOAN: THE INSPIRING STORY OF PROPHET T.B. JOSHUA'S MINISTRY

That the late founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Temitope Joshua, popularly called TB Joshua, was one of Nigeria’s controversial yet revered preachers was never in doubt.

Charismatic, yet somewhat mystical especially to his critics, Mr Joshua had an uncommon feat or as some would say an uncommon power.

It was his miracles and an influence that extended far beyond the shores of Nigeria.

In fact, he could be likened to that prophet who wasn’t respected at home.

This was because congregants who thronged his Ikotun-Egbe, Lagos church were predominantly foreigners.

The church’s neighbourhood also became a tourist haven because of the influx of persons seeking miracles including heads of governments, celebrities, and football stars.

Many residential buildings in the area have long been converted to hotels and inns because of the presence of the church.

At a Nigeria Travel Week (NTW) event held in Lagos held in 2018, it was revealed that the church ”receives the highest number of tourists in Nigeria”.

The tourism operators said the ”SCOAN receives more weekly attendees than the combined number of visitors to Buckingham Palace and the Tower of London”.

He was that influential.
