Nigerian superpastor TB Joshua explodes onto the global stage with Emmanuel TV, one of the world’s most subscribed Christian channels. Behind closed doors in his church in Lagos, life is hard for his teenage ‘disciples’; they have dedicated their life to him and must obey his every command. His own daughter confronts him about alleged abuse and violence and pays a heavy price. A two-year investigation by BBC Africa Eye has revealed serious evidence of widespread violence and abuse.

  2. It’s not about TB Joshua it’s about your own relationship with Christ if TB Joshua performed miracles it wasn’t him it was the Holy Spirit through him it’s about the holy spirit not mere men Have a relationship with the holly spirit to experience the full blessing

  4. I'm of the opinion that TB Joshua property should be sold out and the proceeds be given to his victims!
    How many TB Joshua out there hidden in plain sight? This story is enough to look into the life of megachurches..

  5. This is no different from R.Kelly. Somehow when people get to that level, there are few to bring them down. Tears we are tired off. These are shows made to tarnish the image and make money. Have a mind of you own to see. Where are the wise men to speak. Let's be awake time for mental manipulation by big Social media is over. Open your eyes and see.

  6. Proverbs 1:22 AMP“How long, O naive ones [you who are easily misled], will you love being simple-minded and undiscerning? How long will scoffers [who ridicule and deride] delight in scoffing, How long will fools [who obstinately mock truth] hate knowledge?

  7. This is a deception from the pit of Hell!!! BBC is not for the Church of Jesus Christ. And for you guys to come up with accusations.. 3hrs of talk and no evidence to defame a man that’s dead and can’t defend himself. It’s a disgrace!! And I tell you Satan cannot break the Church.!!!

  8. BBC you should talk about the evils of the slave trade and colonialism perpetuated by Britain .You have no moral authorty to talk about a man whose life impacted millions of people.Why did the socalled victims not come out when the prophet died or when he was alive? BBC Stop propagating fake news.
