Emmanuel TV is a Christian television network with headquarters in Lagos, Nigeria. It was founded by T.B. Joshua, former senior pastor of the Synagogue, Church of All Nations (SCOAN), in Lagos, Nigeria. It was also the most subscribed Christian ministry channel on YouTube worldwide with well over 1,000,000 subscribers, as of January 2019.[1]

Key Information

History

[edit]

In the late 1990s, the SCOAN began to gain international attention due to the distribution of videotapes showing clips of God's early ministries and miracles. Additionally, Joshua began airing regular programs purporting to show 'miracles' on local Nigerian television. However, when Nigeria's National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), under the instruction of then President Olusegun Obasanjo controversially banned the showing of 'miracles', in 2004, most of his programs were taken off air.[2] This eventually paved the way for the emergence of Emmanuel TV on 8 March 2006 by T.B. Joshua.[3]

In 2015, Emmanuel TV's YouTube channel was the most subscribed Christian ministry YouTube channel worldwide and the third most subscribed in Nigeria. Google ranked one of Emmanuel TV's YouTube videos as the fourth most viewed clip ever within Nigeria.[4]

Since its inception, Emmanuel TV has broadcast Christian programmes, stating that its mission is 'to preach the Good News to all mankind.'[5]

Programming

[edit]

Emmanuel TV broadcasts a range of programmes from Synagogue, Church of All Nations (SCOAN).

Reach

[edit]

Emmanuel TV is broadcast worldwide on various satellites. Its programmes air weekly on a number of local television stations across Africa, debuting on DStv and GOtv in November 2015,[6] as well as Startimes in February 2016.[7] Its playout centre is located in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The station is also known for its catch-phrase, 'Distance Is Not A Barrier',[8] encouraging viewers to 'pray along' with T.B. Joshua by 'touching the screen'. T.B. Joshua has donated televisions to prisons and hospitals so that they will be able to watch the Emmanuel TV broadcasts.[9][10]

Controversies

[edit]

In April 2021, YouTube suspended Emmanuel TV's channel as a result of alleged hate speech by Joshua in videos on the channel. At the time the channel was suspended, it had over 1,800,000 subscribers and 400 million views. The allegations of hate speech referred to claims made by Joshua in at least seven videos that homosexuality is the result of possession by demonic spirits and that homosexuality can and should be cured via spiritual deliverance.[11] At the time of the channel's suspension, it was the most-viewed Christian ministry on the platform.[12][13]

In January 2024, days after Joshua's sexual abuse scandal was revealed, Emmanuel TV's satellite channel was removed from DStv by MultiChoice, a South African media company as well as from YouTube for a second time.[14]

Following his passing, the network continues operations under the leadership of his widow, Evelyn Joshua, maintaining its focus on SCOAN activities while adapting to digital dissemination amid evolving media landscapes. Emmanuel TV's prominence has been marked by significant controversies, notably the 12 September 2014 of a SCOAN guesthouse in , which killed 116 people—primarily international visitors—and was officially attributed by a coroner's to structural failure from unauthorized construction modifications lacking engineering approval. The church contested the findings, attributing the incident to an external impact, a claim unsupported by aviation authorities, highlighting tensions between SCOAN's narrative of and empirical investigations into safety lapses. This event, along with ongoing scrutiny over the verifiability of televised miracles and internal church practices, underscores the channel's polarizing role in contemporary , balancing claims of transformative spiritual impact against demands for evidentiary rigor.

The church's early growth relied on word-of-mouth and local gatherings before expanding through recorded testimonies and outreach. In response to Nigeria's 2004 regulatory ban on unverified miracle broadcasts by private television stations, Joshua established Emmanuel TV on March 8, 2006, as SCOAN's dedicated Christian to air live services, sermons, and claimed healings without external censorship.

No significant Emmanuel TV operations occurred in the , as the channel postdated SCOAN's initial congregation-building phase in that decade.

T.B. Joshua's Death and Leadership Transition (2021–Present)

T.B. Joshua, founder of the (SCOAN) and Emmanuel TV, died on June 5, 2021, at age 57, shortly after concluding a Friday night prayer service at SCOAN. SCOAN announced the death via an official statement on , stating it occurred "as it should be by divine will" without disclosing a cause, though unverified media reports later cited complications from a . His funeral and burial occurred on July 9–11, 2021, drawing thousands of attendees and international dignitaries to SCOAN's headquarters. In the immediate aftermath, , T.B. Joshua's wife of over 30 years, was appointed as SCOAN's new leader and lead pastor, assuming oversight of the church's operations, including Emmanuel TV broadcasts. She began delivering sermons and leading services, which continued to be televised on Emmanuel TV, emphasizing continuity of the ministry's focus on , , and while honoring T.B. Joshua's legacy. Reports indicated initial internal divisions among disciples and staff over the transition, with some questioning Evelyn's prophetic authority compared to her husband's charismatic style, though she consolidated leadership by late 2021. Emmanuel TV's programming persisted under Evelyn's direction, featuring her-led live services, testimonies, and archived content from T.B. Joshua, accessible via , online streaming, and partnerships.

The channel adapted by launching alternative accounts and relying on its for global reach, with ongoing broadcasts as of 2025 reporting sustained viewership through digital means.

Organizational Structure and Leadership

Role of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN)

The (SCOAN), a Pentecostal megachurch based in Ikotun, , , founded and owns Emmanuel TV as its dedicated broadcasting platform to extend its ministry globally. Established under the leadership of T.B. Joshua, SCOAN's former prophet and senior pastor who died on June 5, 2021, the channel serves as the primary vehicle for disseminating SCOAN's core activities, including live-streamed worship services, prophetic messages, and claims of faith healings. This ownership structure positions SCOAN as the content originator and operational hub, with Emmanuel TV functioning as an extension of the church's evangelistic outreach rather than an independent media entity. SCOAN's role extends to curating and producing the bulk of Emmanuel TV's programming, which features unedited footage from its headquarters, such as weekly Sunday services attended by thousands of congregants and international visitors. The church's doctrinal emphasis on divine , from evil spirits, and through directly shapes the channel's content, with broadcasts often highlighting testimonials of physical and spiritual restorations attributed to SCOAN's anointed water and prayer sessions. Under , who assumed leadership as SCOAN's prophetess and president of the Emmanuel Global Network (Emmanuel TV's operating entity) following T.B. Joshua's death, the church continues to oversee editorial decisions, ensuring alignment with its charismatic theology. Beyond content provision, SCOAN leverages Emmanuel TV for and initiatives, soliciting viewer donations to support church operations, , and global . For instance, the channel promotes "seed " contributions explicitly tied to SCOAN's ministry, with proceeds funding expansions like overflow branches in nations such as and the . This symbiotic relationship has enabled SCOAN to claim a viewership exceeding 200 million households across , , and beyond via and digital platforms, though independent verification of audience metrics remains limited due to reliance on self-reported data from church-affiliated sources. SCOAN's also influences Emmanuel TV's resilience amid external pressures, such as the channel's removal from MultiChoice's platform on January 17, 2024, following a mutual agreement citing declining viewership, after which SCOAN pivoted to independent streaming and decoder distributions. Critics, including investigative reports from outlets like , have scrutinized SCOAN's oversight of Emmanuel TV for potentially amplifying unverified miracle claims without medical corroboration, raising questions about the evidentiary basis of broadcasted healings. Nonetheless, SCOAN maintains that the channel's role is to facilitate remote participation in its services, allowing viewers to "receive a life-changing touch from Jesus Christ" through televised , as stated in official broadcasts. This integration underscores Emmanuel TV's function as SCOAN's primary tool for doctrinal propagation and international expansion, intertwining the church's physical gatherings with virtual global fellowship.

Leadership under Evelyn Joshua

Evelyn Joshua, the widow of T.B. Joshua, assumed leadership of the (SCOAN) following his death on June 5, 2021, with official confirmation via a Federal High Court ruling on September 9, 2021, designating her as the church's head. In this capacity, she oversees , SCOAN's primary broadcast arm, ensuring continuity in programming centered on live services, prophetic messages, and viewer testimonies from the headquarters. Her tenure has emphasized maintaining the channel's core format, including weekly Living Water Services and mass prayer sessions, as evidenced by her leading openings of such events in August 2025. Under Evelyn Joshua's direction, Emmanuel TV introduced technological enhancements, such as the Hybrid Box unveiled in June 2025, aimed at improving digital accessibility and content delivery for global audiences amid evolving broadcast challenges. Humanitarian initiatives have also persisted, with the Emmanuel TV team conducting outreaches in 2025, including distributions in underserved communities, framed as extensions of SCOAN's evangelistic mission. Annual events like the channel's 19th anniversary celebration in March 2025 highlighted viewer impact stories and community engagements, reinforcing themes of faith-based transformation. The leadership transition faced internal divisions and reported financial strains, with some church factions questioning succession amid SCOAN's reliance on T.B. Joshua's personal charisma and international donations. Emmanuel TV encountered external pressures, notably the suspension of its main YouTube channel in January 2024, prompted by content moderation actions tied to a BBC investigation into historical allegations of abuse under the prior administration, though operations shifted to alternative platforms like its official website and satellite feeds. Despite these hurdles, Evelyn Joshua has sustained international engagements, such as the 2025 Emmanuel TV Partners Meeting in the United Kingdom, focusing on partner testimonies and prayer ministrations.

Internal Governance and Operations

Emmanuel TV is owned and operated by Emmanuel Global Network, a entity under the oversight of the (SCOAN), with serving as its president since the death of founder T.B. Joshua in June 2021. The channel functions as SCOAN's dedicated broadcasting arm, with decision-making centralized under church leadership rather than a publicly disclosed board or independent governance body, reflecting the charismatic structure typical of founder-led religious organizations. Daily operations involve a production team focused on 24/7 content creation, including live services, testimonies, and outreaches, coordinated from SCOAN's headquarters in , . The Emmanuel TV Team comprises evangelists, technical professionals, and volunteers who handle filming, editing, and distribution, with ongoing efforts to enhance production quality through staff development and technological upgrades.

Programming and Broadcast Content

Core Religious Services and Sermons

Emmanuel TV's core religious services revolve around live broadcasts of weekly Sunday worship gatherings at the (SCOAN) in , , commencing after the channel's launch on March 30, 2006. These services typically open with extended sessions of praise and worship led by the church and congregation, featuring hymns and spontaneous singing to foster a communal spiritual atmosphere. The format emphasizes participatory elements, with viewers worldwide encouraged to join remotely via , as evidenced by recurring calls during broadcasts for synchronized faith-based responses. Central to these services are sermons delivered from SCOAN's main auditorium, originally preached by founder T.B. Joshua until his death on June 5, 2021. Joshua's messages, often 30-45 minutes in length, drew from scriptures to address practical Christian living, such as building unshakeable amid delays in or resisting misleading personal circumstances through scriptural adherence. Specific examples include his 2007 "Don't Let Your Condition Mislead You," which urged believers to prioritize divine perspective over visible hardships, and teachings on faith's role in activating God's promises, as in "What Is Faith? Episode 2," stressing persistence beyond silence from heaven. Post-2021, under Pastor Evelyn Joshua's leadership, sermons continue in a similar vein but incorporate themes of moral integrity and relational , with examples like the September 7, 2025, message "Don't Dodge It – Face It," advocating confrontation of life's trials through Christ-centered resolve, and "The Character of a True Believer," delivered September 28, 2025, emphasizing and in . SCOAN evangelists supplement these with shorter exhortations on anchoring life in biblical truth over experiential highs, maintaining a focus on empowerment via God's Word. Archives of such sermons are accessible 24/7 on the channel, reinforcing repetitive viewing for spiritual reinforcement.

Miracle Healings and Deliverance Sessions

Emmanuel TV broadcasts miracle sessions primarily conducted at the (SCOAN), featuring T.B. laying hands on individuals in prayer lines who present with physical ailments such as , blindness, ulcers, and chronic diseases. These live and archived programs depict participants discarding mobility aids or demonstrating restored function immediately after prayer, with claims of supernatural intervention. For instance, footage from 's early ministry in 1997 shows a participant purportedly healed during a service, while 1998 recordings capture healings ministered by himself. Testimonies aired include cases of claimed recovery from , as shared by a participant in a 2014 SCOAN service, and severe leg ulcers healed following , with the individual returning to testify months later. Other broadcasts highlight healings from ovarian cysts and broken limbs sustained over two decades prior, often attributed to prayers via Emmanuel TV viewing rather than in-person attendance. These segments emphasize as the mechanism, with instructing viewers to pray along for similar outcomes. Deliverance sessions on the channel portray exorcisms of evil spirits, where afflicted individuals exhibit manifestations such as convulsions, unnatural speech, or aggressive threats, interpreted as demonic activity rooted in family backgrounds or personal sins. Examples include a South African woman whose spirit menaced the congregation during prayer, a Cameroonian apostle freed from a ministry-destroying entity, and cases of lust-driven fornication or addiction expelled through command in Jesus' name. Dramatic elements, like attempts to douse spiritual fire with water or ancient idols surfacing, are shown resolving after confrontation by Joshua or his disciples. Following Joshua's death in 2021, Emmanuel TV continues these formats through mass prayers and services led by successors, including weekly Sunday broadcasts from the Arena of Liberty, focusing on collective and for viewers worldwide.

Prophetic Ministries and Testimonies

Emmanuel TV's prophetic ministries center on sessions led by T.B. , where he claimed divine to disclose hidden personal details, predict future events, and provide spiritual counsel to congregants and viewers. These broadcasts, often titled " Time," involved addressing individuals or groups, revealing specifics such as undisclosed sins, health issues, or family secrets to facilitate . For instance, during a March 20, 2016, service, delivered personal prophecies exposing charms and spiritual afflictions among attendees. prophecies were also featured, including warnings about geopolitical tensions; in one archived segment, urged to secure its airspace against an impending "attack" interpreted as aerial intrusion. Another early example from 1997 foresaw the death of Princess Diana, broadcast as evidence of prophetic accuracy. Following T.B. Joshua's death in June 2021, prophetic elements have continued under SCOAN leadership, though less prominently, with mass prayers and occasional revelations during services led by Evelyn Joshua. These segments emphasize interactive elements, such as viewer-submitted questions or live altar calls, positioning prophecy as a tool for immediate spiritual intervention. Testimonies form a core component of Emmanuel TV programming, consisting of firsthand accounts from participants claiming supernatural healings, deliverances from demonic influences, or life improvements attributed to SCOAN prayers, anointed water, or prophetic interventions. These are typically aired during or after Sunday services, with individuals detailing pre-visit conditions like chronic illnesses or financial hardship resolved post-exposure to the channel or visits to SCOAN. For example, on February 25, 2024, Ashioma Okere from Delta State, Nigeria, testified to receiving prayers for safe delivery, linking it to a successful birth. Prayer line testimonies, broadcast live, include cases like a August 17, 2025, segment where callers reported breakthroughs from ailments such as infertility or addiction after remote prayers.
  • Healing Testimonies: Viewers frequently cite cures for conditions like , cancer, or ; a September 18, 2025, broadcast highlighted a "first in " case of restored mobility post-SCOAN visit.
  • Deliverance Accounts: Stories involve exorcisms of spirits causing marital or business failure, often tied to Joshua's earlier prophecies.
  • Prosperity Narratives: Financial turnarounds, such as or job acquisitions, are common, with October 19, 2025, testimonies featuring multiple such claims.
These testimonies are presented as empirical validations of SCOAN's ministry, with archives encouraging submissions via the channel's platform, though independent corroboration is rarely provided in broadcasts.

Global Distribution Challenges and Adaptations

Emmanuel TV's efforts to expand beyond have been hampered by regulatory restrictions and on major broadcasters, often linked to controversies over its content and the (SCOAN). In January 2024, Group, which operates and across Africa, removed Emmanuel TV from its platforms effective January 17, 2024, following a investigative documentary alleging sexual abuse and forced abortions at SCOAN under T.B. Joshua's . This decision affected millions of subscribers in , where the channel previously aired on channel 390, citing non-compliance with content standards amid public backlash. Digital platforms have imposed similar barriers. YouTube terminated the official Emmanuel TV channel on January 29, 2024, for repeated violations of its and community guidelines policies, including content promoting unverified healing claims and exorcisms that were deemed harmful. Earlier, in May 2021, the petitioned to suspend broadcasts after episodes featured what it described as violent "" practices led by T.B. , raising concerns over promotion of physical in religious contexts.

SCOAN promotes viewer to fund expansions and terrestrial relays, targeting underserved regions while relying on streaming via its for audiences, though with limited bandwidth in low-connectivity areas. These measures have sustained viewership estimated in tens of millions globally, per SCOAN reports, despite platform exclusions.

Viewer Engagement Mechanisms

Emmanuel TV facilitates viewer engagement primarily through digital and telephonic channels designed for prayer requests and spiritual participation. Viewers worldwide can submit prayer requests via an online form on the official website, where details of personal situations are provided for consideration in live prayer sessions. These requests enable remote involvement in mass prayers broadcast during services, emphasizing that "distance is not a barrier" for receiving purported spiritual intervention. Interactive prayer sessions allow selected viewers to participate live from Emmanuel TV studios, with submissions handled through the website or designated contacts. Telephonic and messaging options further support this, including lines such as +234 8061559256 for prayer submissions and regional numbers like +27 67 327 4696 in for prayer line registration. Such mechanisms encourage ongoing interaction, often tied to testimonies shared during broadcasts. Social media platforms serve as additional engagement vectors, with official accounts on , , , and X (formerly ) providing live updates, sermon clips, and calls to action for partnerships. Viewers are prompted to follow these channels for real-time notifications on services and events, fostering a participation. The channel also promotes a program, inviting viewers to contribute financially and spiritually to expand , with donations processed via the streaming portal. Warnings against fraudulent contacts underscore efforts to maintain controlled engagement channels.

Spiritual Claims and Empirical Scrutiny

Documented Miracle Claims and Testimonies

Emmanuel TV has broadcast thousands of claims since its inception in 2005, primarily through live footage of (SCOAN) services where participants reportedly experience instantaneous healings during sessions led by T.B. Joshua until his death on June 5, 2021. These claims encompass physical ailments such as , blindness, and chronic diseases, often accompanied by pre- and post-healing demonstrations on air, with testimonies from attendees asserting full recovery without medical intervention. For instance, in a 1997 service clip rebroadcast on the channel, a woman claimed restoration of mobility after years of use following a brief , documented via contemporaneous video recording. Testimonies frequently involve verifiable medical histories provided by claimants, including diagnoses of conditions like , fibroids, and spinal injuries, with follow-up reports of symptom disappearance. One documented case from Emmanuel TV archives features a participant healed of 22-year fibroids during a session, as shared in a 2025 video compilation. Similarly, on August 3, 2025, Mrs. Fine from an unspecified location testified to regaining the ability to walk after at SCOAN, attributing it to divine intervention amid prior mobility loss. During the SCOAN Service in early 2025, over 20 individuals publicly shared healings ranging from vitality restoration to relief, captured in live streams and archived on the channel. Beyond physical healings, Emmanuel TV documents spiritual deliverances and prophetic testimonies, such as releases from addictions like , where a 2025 broadcast featured a former heavy smoker claiming total cessation post-prayer without withdrawal symptoms. Prophetic claims include fulfilled predictions broadcast in advance, like foretold events in viewers' lives verified through subsequent videos submitted via the channel's platform. These accounts, often from international visitors, are presented as of causation, with the channel emphasizing mass participation—hundreds per service—lending communal corroboration, though reliant on self-reported outcomes.

Methods of Healing and Prophetic Practices

The methods of healing broadcast on Emmanuel TV primarily involve charismatic prayer sessions led by T.B. Joshua or designated ministers at the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), where participants are claimed to receive instantaneous cures from physical ailments such as paralysis, blindness, and chronic illnesses through invocation of Jesus' name and the laying on of hands. These sessions, often termed "mass prayer" or "healing lines," feature Joshua directing prayers toward crowds or individuals, asserting separation from sickness via spiritual authority, with broadcasts emphasizing visible reactions like falling under the "anointing" as evidence of divine intervention. Deliverance practices, intertwined with healing, focus on exorcising demonic influences purportedly causing physical and mental afflictions, conducted through verbal commands in Jesus' name, references to his blood, and sometimes physical restraint or slapping to provoke manifestations like screaming or convulsing, followed by declarations of freedom. One-on-one sessions target "stubborn spirits," while group deliverances occur during live services, with Emmanuel TV airing edited footage highlighting before-and-after testimonies. Ancillary tools, such as "Anointing Water" sprayed or drunk during prayers, are presented as conduits for God's power, distributed to viewers for self-application in healing rituals. Prophetic practices on the channel consist of "prophecy time" segments during Sunday services, where Joshua claims to receive divine revelations about attendees' personal histories, hidden sins, or future events, often identifying individuals in the congregation by pointing or describing without prior contact. These prophecies, broadcast live, lead directly into deliverance if spiritual bondage is revealed, with Joshua interpreting visions or words of knowledge as tools for guidance, including predictions on global issues like economic crises or geopolitical tensions. The methodology relies on spontaneous discernment rather than systematic inquiry, with sessions structured to transition from prophecy to prayer for confirmation or breakthrough.

Independent Verifications and Skeptical Analyses

Independent efforts to verify the healings broadcast on Emmanuel TV have yielded limited empirical support, with no peer-reviewed medical studies confirming interventions at the (SCOAN). Claims of conditions such as , cancer, and often rely on self-reported testimonies or post-event medical notes provided by SCOAN-affiliated or visiting physicians, but these lack pre- and post-intervention diagnostics from neutral, third-party institutions. For instance, in cases publicized by SCOAN, doctors have attested to improved outcomes following prayers or anointing water use, yet such affirmations typically occur without blinded controls or longitudinal tracking to rule out natural remission or effects. Skeptical investigations, particularly a 2024 BBC Africa Eye documentary titled "Disciples: The Cult of ," have presented eyewitness accounts from former disciples alleging systematic staging of healings. Ex-members described instructions to feign disabilities—such as using crutches unnecessarily or simulating convulsions—prior to services, with videos edited to exaggerate dramatic recoveries. The report cited specific techniques, including the use of hidden props like fake blood or pre-arranged "afflicted" participants, broadcast to millions via Emmanuel TV. These claims were corroborated by multiple interviewees from diverse nationalities, including the , , and , who participated in or observed the preparations.00034-2/abstract) Further scrutiny emerged from earlier journalistic probes, such as a investigation by Nigerian reporter Adejuwon Soyinka, who examined medical certificates purportedly verifying SCOAN healings and found them fabricated, prompting legal threats from T.B. that halted publication at the time. Analyses in outlets like have highlighted the absence of verifiable cures for terminal illnesses despite high-profile claims, attributing apparent successes to misdiagnosis, psychosomatic relief, or selective reporting. Critics, including medical professionals, argue that Emmanuel TV's emphasis on unverified spectacles prioritizes spectacle over evidence-based outcomes, potentially discouraging followers from seeking conventional treatment.00034-2/abstract) While supporters counter that faith-based healings defy scientific metrics, the cumulative evidence from defectors and lapsed probes underscores a pattern of evidentiary gaps and alleged , with no independent audits—such as those by organizations like the —ever validating SCOAN's claims under controlled conditions. This has fueled broader debates on the ethics of , where unverified miracles may exploit vulnerable viewers seeking causal explanations beyond empirical realism.

Humanitarian Efforts and Social Impact

Charitable Initiatives and Relief Work

The (SCOAN), broadcast through Emmanuel TV, has conducted disaster relief operations in response to major international crises. In the aftermath of the January , T.B. Joshua chartered two cargo planes carrying relief supplies and deployed a team of doctors, nurses, engineers, and other personnel to . The Emmanuel TV Haiti Earthquake Relief Team distributed foodstuffs and medical aid, partnering with organizations including Shelter Box for shelter provision and the (OIM) for coordination in orphanages and refugee camps. Following the April , which devastated , SCOAN dispatched a cargo plane loaded with emergency supplies and sent a relief team to affected areas, focusing on immediate aid distribution to displaced communities. Emmanuel TV documented similar responses to flooding disasters, including home repairs for a 91-year-old woman in impacted by heavy rains and assistance for elderly victims in after in 2018. In September 2024, the Emmanuel TV team extended flood relief in , repairing homes and providing essentials under the direction of Pastor Evelyn Joshua. Domestic initiatives in have included financial aid and food distribution to vulnerable groups, such as a N200,000 donation and four bags of rice to a widow in . SCOAN has also supported efforts for Nigerian migrants, sheltering and aiding hundreds of Libyan returnees between 2016 and 2019 who were evacuated via chartered flights arranged by T.B. . The TB Foundation, linked to SCOAN, continues scholarships for students and small-to-medium enterprise grants, announcing beneficiaries in August and September 2025, respectively, though these postdate Joshua's 2021 death.

Community Outreach Programs

The (SCOAN), through its broadcasting arm Emmanuel TV, has organized programs focused on providing aid to vulnerable populations, including orphans, the elderly, and disaster-affected communities. These initiatives often involve Emmanuel TV teams, led historically by T.B. Joshua and later by Pastor Evelyn Joshua, distributing food, clothing, medical supplies, and financial assistance during on-site visits. For instance, in February 2024, following a revival event in , the Emmanuel TV team conducted a charity donating resources to local underprivileged groups. Similarly, in May 2025, an in the Madibe community emphasized welfare support, reflecting a pattern of direct intervention in rural and underserved areas. Educational support forms a core component, with SCOAN offering scholarships to orphans and children from low-income families, covering expenses from through levels. This program, administered via the TB Joshua Foundation, aims to empower youth but relies on self-reported impacts from the organization without detailed independent audits publicly available. Outreach extends internationally, including flood relief efforts in in September 2024, where supplies were provided to affected residents, and aid to elderly citizens in rural . These activities are frequently tied to Emmanuel TV broadcasts, encouraging viewer partnerships for funding and participation. While SCOAN claims extensive humanitarian spending—estimated by external observers at around $20 million by T.B. Joshua on global projects—specific metrics on scale, such as beneficiary numbers or long-term outcomes, remain primarily documented by the church itself. Programs in regions like and incorporate community education and healthcare elements alongside spiritual services, though evaluations of efficacy are limited to anecdotal testimonies aired on Emmanuel TV.

Measurable Outcomes and Criticisms of Aid Distribution

The (SCOAN), via its Emmanuel TV platform, has reported distributing cash, , clothing, and essential supplies to targeted groups such as widows, orphans, the elderly, and deportees in and select international locations. On May 31, 2022, led an outreach in Alaba Rago market, , providing monetary aid and four bags of to vendors and residents. Similar distributions occurred on July 5, 2021, targeting three communities near SCOAN's Ikotun facility with food and financial support. In early 2020, elderly SCOAN members received three bags of each alongside N2,500,000 in collective funding. Overseas efforts included U.S.-based charity in for the disabled and needy, and a 2025 mission supplying sleeping bags and care packages to the homeless. These initiatives extend to scholarships, rehabilitation for social outcasts, and supplies for physically challenged individuals, with SCOAN claiming commitment to the destitute as a core ministry arm. A 2010s estimate from a Forbes-affiliated blogger pegged T.B. Joshua's total humanitarian spending at $20 million, encompassing global projects. However, no independent, peer-reviewed evaluations or NGO-verified metrics—such as sustained income improvements, health outcomes, or graduation rates for scholarship recipients—substantiate long-term efficacy. Official accounts emphasize immediate relief but lack data on recurrence rates of aid dependency or cost-benefit analyses. Criticisms highlight opacity in funding sources and allocation, fueled by SCOAN's dependence on Emmanuel TV viewer donations without published audited financials. Post-2021 investigations into T.B. Joshua's revealed patterns of exploitation, including unpaid labor among disciples, prompting scrutiny over whether budgets were prioritized or siphoned amid unverified personal expenditures. Detractors, including ex-members, argue distributions serve primarily as publicity for the channel rather than scalable alleviation, given the absence of partnerships with transparent entities like established organizations. The lack of third-party oversight, contrasted with the church's charismatic claims, undermines assertions of impact, as no empirical studies confirm causal links between and measurable socio-economic gains.

Controversies and Allegations

Authenticity of Miracles and Staging Claims

A 2024 BBC Africa Eye investigation, drawing on accounts from former disciples and church staff, alleged that miracles broadcast on Emmanuel TV were systematically staged to maintain T.B. Joshua's image as a healer. Techniques reportedly included pre-selecting participants likely to show improvement or using paid actors to simulate dramatic reactions, such as convulsing or falling during "deliverances," with footage edited to exaggerate effects. The documentary claimed Joshua's team suppressed dissenting voices and negative outcomes, ensuring only favorable testimonies aired. Specific evidence cited fake medical documentation for claimed cures, such as reversals; in 2000, Nigerian journalist Adejuwon Soyinka exposed certificates from as fabricated, though Joshua's influence reportedly halted further probes. Ex-insiders described "miracle lines" where compliant individuals were coached on responses, and props like anointed were emphasized without causal proof of efficacy beyond or suggestion. No peer-reviewed studies or third-party medical audits verified SCOAN's healings, contrasting with the channel's reliance on unvetted video testimonies. In response, SCOAN and supporters dismissed the allegations as fabrications by disgruntled ex-members, pointing to ongoing viewer-submitted healings post-'s 2021 death as evidence of authenticity. However, these lack empirical controls, and Nigeria's 2004 broadcast ban on unverified miracles—enacted amid scrutiny of figures like Joshua—highlights regulatory skepticism toward such claims. Independent analyses remain absent, with causal mechanisms for reported events attributable to psychological priming or natural remission rather than intervention, per first-hand staging testimonies.

Personal Abuse Allegations Against T.B. Joshua

In January 2024, a Africa Eye investigation titled "Disciples: The Cult of " documented allegations from over 20 former disciples, including British nationals, claiming that T.B. Joshua subjected them to repeated sexual assaults, rapes, and other abuses within the (SCOAN) compound in , , spanning nearly two decades until his death in June 2021. These accounts described Joshua summoning female disciples to his private quarters under the pretense of spiritual counseling, where assaults allegedly occurred, with some victims reporting multiple incidents over years of service. Witnesses further alleged physical torture methods, including whipping with electrical cables, chaining to trees or beds, and in isolation rooms for perceived disobedience or failed "miracle" performances, affecting both adults and children within the church's disciple program. Specific claims included forced abortions performed on-site by untrained personnel following rapes, with one ex-disciple stating that ordered such procedures to conceal pregnancies resulting from assaults. Additionally, highlighted abuse toward 's own daughter, who was reportedly locked away and tortured from childhood, viewed as a threat to his public image. The allegations, drawn primarily from on-record interviews with ex-insiders who served as close aides, lack independent corroboration such as police investigations or forensic evidence in publicly available records, though multiple sources reported consistent patterns across nationalities and genders. SCOAN and Joshua's widow, Evelyn, have not issued a detailed rebuttal to the claims, though church loyalists have dismissed accusers as disgruntled apostates and continued promoting Joshua's legacy via affiliated ministries. Prior to the exposé, isolated accounts from former assistants like Bisola Johnson in the 2010s echoed similar patterns of and , but gained limited traction amid Joshua's influence in Nigerian media and .

2014 SCOAN Building Collapse and Aftermath

On September 12, 2014, a multi-story guesthouse building within the premises of the (SCOAN) in Ikotun-Egbe, , , collapsed during a period when the facility was hosting international visitors attending services led by T.B. Joshua. The incident resulted in 115 confirmed deaths, including 84 South African nationals, with additional victims from countries such as , , and the Democratic Republic of Congo; rescue operations continued for days, recovering bodies from the rubble. T.B. Joshua attributed the collapse to an external attack, citing video footage of an aircraft allegedly hovering nearby and suggesting or , claims echoed by SCOAN spokespersons who rejected notions of structural deficiency. A coroner's inquest convened by Lagos State, led by Magistrate Oyetade Komolafe, concluded in July 2015 that the deaths constituted unlawful killings due to criminal negligence by SCOAN and its contractors, with the collapse caused by structural failure from substandard construction materials, weak foundations, and lack of proper building approvals or professional engineering oversight. The inquest highlighted that the guesthouse, originally a two-story structure expanded without regulatory compliance, had been erected by untrained church volunteers rather than certified engineers, leading to recommendations for prosecuting SCOAN leadership, including T.B. Joshua, and the contractors involved. SCOAN disputed these findings, asserting that the church possessed necessary permits and that external forces—potentially an "infrasonic weapon" or deliberate demolition—were responsible, while independent engineering assessments commissioned post-collapse corroborated the inquest's emphasis on avoidable construction flaws over Joshua's aircraft theory. Legal proceedings followed, with authorities filing charges in 2015 against T.B. Joshua, church engineer Olamide David, and contractors for and , though trials faced delays amid appeals and jurisdictional disputes; no convictions were secured against Joshua prior to his death in June 2021. The South African government repatriated victims' bodies and demanded , criticizing SCOAN's initial underreporting of and restricting official pilgrimages to the church, while international scrutiny intensified questions about oversight of religious sites accommodating foreign devotees. The event prompted temporary restrictions on SCOAN operations and heightened regulatory scrutiny of similar mega-churches in , though Emmanuel TV broadcasts continued to frame the incident as martyrdom from rather than institutional lapses.

Reception, Influence, and Ongoing Developments

Perspectives from Supporters and Faithful Viewers

Supporters of Emmanuel TV frequently describe the channel as a conduit for divine intervention, emphasizing its broadcasts of prayers and deliverances led by as catalysts for personal breakthroughs. Faithful viewers report experiencing physical and spiritual restorations, such as relief from chronic ailments like piles after praying along with televised services, attributing these outcomes to the power of invoked through the programs. Similar accounts include overcoming addictions, with one viewer testifying to liberation from daily dependence following exposure to Joshua's sermons on Emmanuel TV. Testimonials from global audiences highlight the channel's accessibility via apps and streaming, enabling "distance is not a barrier" encounters where viewers claim without physical presence at SCOAN. For example, a Ghanaian recounted safe delivery of an overdue pregnancy after applying Joshua's teachings on , while South African couples have shared stories of conceiving after years of post-viewing sessions. These narratives often frame Emmanuel TV as a tool for spiritual growth, with believers praising Joshua's emphasis on , , and selfless service as foundational to sustaining faith amid life's challenges. Online communities of faithful viewers, including groups dedicated to SCOAN and Emmanuel TV, foster discussions on the authenticity of reported , with members sharing experiences of protection from harm and career advancements linked to the channel's content. Participants in these forums defend the ministry's legacy, portraying as a humble servant focused on uplifting others through God's word rather than personal gain, and crediting his guidance for building resilience against offense and doubt. Such perspectives underscore a communal bond among viewers, who view the channel not merely as but as a vital resource for encountering "the real " through verifiable life changes.

Criticisms from Media, Ex-Members, and Investigators

Media investigations have scrutinized Emmanuel TV's broadcasts of healings and prophecies, alleging systematic staging to deceive viewers. A January 2024 Africa Eye , "Disciples: The Cult of ," featured undercover footage and analysis revealing techniques such as pre-selected participants feigning disabilities, hidden props for "miraculous" demonstrations, and edited videos to exaggerate outcomes, drawing millions to the (SCOAN). Similar claims appeared in reports by outlets like , which highlighted how televised "miracles" contributed to financial exploitation through donations from global audiences. Former disciples and church insiders have provided detailed testimonies of physical and under TB Joshua's leadership, broadcast elements of which appeared on Emmanuel TV. Over 20 ex-members interviewed by investigators described routine whippings with belts or electrical cables, chaining to trees as punishment, and isolation from families to enforce loyalty, often justified as spiritual discipline. Additional accounts in reporting detailed sexual assaults on at least a dozen female disciples, including forced abortions—estimated at five to six cases—following repeated rapes by Joshua, with victims coerced into secrecy under threat of demonic possession or . These testimonies, corroborated by photographs of injuries and hidden audio recordings, portrayed Emmanuel TV as a tool for normalizing an authoritarian environment rather than genuine ministry. Investigative efforts, led by Africa Eye and supported by survivor advocacy groups, exposed patterns of intimidation extending to Emmanuel TV's online presence. Following the 2024 documentary, reports documented church-affiliated accounts harassing accusers with death threats and , prompting to terminate the official Emmanuel TV channel on January 30, 2024, for repeated violations of policies targeting victims. Independent analyses, such as those in , attributed Joshua's evasion of accountability to SCOAN's self-contained ecosystem, where media like Emmanuel TV amplified unverified claims while suppressing dissent, fostering a structure resistant to external verification.

Cultural and Global Influence Post-2021

Following the death of T.B. Joshua on June 5, 2021, Emmanuel TV persisted in its operations under the oversight of his widow, , who assumed leadership of the (SCOAN). The channel continued 24-hour daily programming, featuring rebroadcasts of purported miracles, healing testimonies, and new sermons from SCOAN services, maintaining availability via its official website and alternative frequencies. International outreach efforts endured, including live-streamed events such as the SCOAN meeting in on October 24, 2025, which drew participants for prayer and deliverance sessions. Global dissemination faced significant disruptions in 2024 amid heightened scrutiny. YouTube suspended the original Emmanuel TV channel in January 2024—previously boasting over 1.8 million subscribers and 400 million views—following a BBC documentary alleging staged miracles and abuses at SCOAN. A successor channel, "Official Emmanuel TV," launched thereafter, accumulating 491,000 subscribers and 85.6 million total views by late 2025, reflecting a reduced but sustained online footprint. MultiChoice, operator of DStv, terminated carriage of Emmanuel TV on January 17, 2024, after prior notifications of declining viewership, limiting access in African markets reliant on the platform. Culturally, Emmanuel TV's post-2021 influence within charismatic Christian communities emphasized themes of divine intervention and , resonating primarily among audiences and rural Nigerian viewers who valued its archived content for personal edification. However, exposés from outlets like the eroded its standing in mainstream discourse, prompting defections—such as former disciple John Chi establishing a rival ministry—and fostering toward televangelism's miraculous claims in global media narratives. Devotees countered with affirmations of ongoing spiritual efficacy, citing persistent attendance at SCOAN events and engagement on platforms like , where live Sunday broadcasts from drew thousands of interactions into 2025. This polarized reception underscored a contraction from pre-2021 peaks, where the channel had positioned as a transnational Pentecostal figure, to a niche endurance amid institutional distrust.
