The video is made up of three parts, with each part consisting of over 50 minutes. some women were interviewed andnsome men were both in Nigeria and out of Nigeria, where they both testified how theynall went through torture while living in that church and walking therentoo.

We are not here to take sides because we were not there and it’s not our place to judge what we don’t know. Even the law says everyone is innocent until proven guilty. If the said people are telling the truth then where are the videos or evidencenshowing that Pastor Joshua was molesting or torturing them because the video BBC released is filled with baseless assumptions.
Here are a few questions we need to ask ourselves. Firstly, BBC is an international media organization have they ever done such an investigation on any Western church? so what is their interest in this man of God? Secondly, where is the evidence to prove that TB Joshua is a fake man of God and has been molesting his workers or doing fake miracles? Thirdly, why now whennhe’s not alive to defend himself, fourthly, we should asknourselves if his good deeds outweigh the bad deeds or if hisnbad deeds outweigh his good deeds, and lastly, is there any man without sin thennthe persons should cast the first stone at TB Joshua.
Many Nigerians have also taken this story with a lot of mixed feelings. some think that looking at the kind of lifestyle the late Tb Joshua lived and the thousands if not millions of lives he impacted through his humanitarian work there is no way such a man selfless man could have been a fake man of God. A man whose works were not only limited to his country but felt on other continents.
Prophet Joshua was there for thenneedy he opened health centers, schools, and training centers, built houses for the homeless, educated many people, and provided jobs you can name a few. He was anselfless man so if truly they say Joshua is a fake man of God then Some of us need to be fake like him. Other schools of taught have also asked those critising this man of God if they have done much for humanity or contributed anything positive to their country innparticular and the world at large.
There is an African saying that “a snake seen by one personncan turn into a lion”. The fact this documentary is only surfacing now after the death of TB Joshua is already a red flag because the Man is not alive to defend himself. To also imagine that most of the white ladies claim they went through all this torture and yet didn’t leave that church is also a call for concern. whites a people most Africans believed they were very exposed and going through something like, a video should have been secretly recorded by at least one of the ladies or better still should have reported this issue to their various embassies in Nigeria. None of this was done.
Say what you know stand for what you knownand not what you don’t know. Africansnneed to wake up because because there is more to this documentary than the eyes can see.
