One of the revered world-renowned Lagos-based pastors is T.B Joshua, founder of The Synagogue, Church of All Nations (SCOAN).
He has been credited with many prophecies that came to pass in the world affairs, but he has also performed jaw-dropping (sometimes questionable) deliverance miracles.
He doesn’t always get it right, and here we look at the 4 major prophecies from T.B. Joshua that never came to pass.
Hillary Clinton Win in 2016 U.S. Elections
One of the world’s most paid attention-to elections was slated for Nov 8, 2016. Along came T.B. Joshua,
“Ten days ago, I saw the new President of America with a narrow win
“The new President will be facing several challenges over many issues, including: passing bills, attempts to possibly pass a vote of no confidence on the new President. The boat of the new President will be rocked.
“By the way, in order not to keep you in suspense, what I frankly saw is a woman.”
While many Americans on social media had said that they had had enough of The Republicans, a poll showing a landslide victory looked imminent. In fact, all key state polls predicted a 90-99% victory of the Democratic presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton.
Two days later, President Donald Trump was declared the winner.
World War 3
In 2011, blogs were awash with a prophecy by T.B Joshua on an impending World War 3. Reports stated that this would begin as soon as Isreal strikes Iran. In a swift move, the SCOAN team debunking this wrote on their page,
There is currently a rumour circulating that on Sunday 11th December 2011, TB Joshua predicted a third world war.
CORRECTION: Prophet T.B. Joshua did not say that there would be a third world war. He did not say that civilisation would be gone. We should be very careful about changing a prophetic message to suit our own philosophy or our own world view.
Biafra
T.B. Joshua is a favourite of the South-East Biafran supporters and the reason is not far-fetched. In a video purportedly circulated within circles, he claimed,
“There is a great nation going out from Nigeria, before October this year” As he said it, the Igbos in his church shouted Biafra Biafra! And the man of God laughed and said this year is a Biafra year. I saw it clearly in my vision.”
However, the existence of the video has been brought to question.
End of Coronavirus
The latest of his many prophecies is the end of the coronavirus. According to a video of him circulating the internet, Nigerians are counting down.
Yet, a tweep @MX_Mahlangu has cried foul.

While another tweep @Always_Bklin wants Nigerians to learn patience
All of you guys dragging TB Joshua, can I ask a question. Would a pot of soup get cold when you drop from fire immediately? You all need to think twice. Many of you don't even trust yourself rather than trusting a man of God. #Coronavirus would end step by step by tomorrow.

Will this happen? We sincerely hope it does. In the meantime, we are desperately getting warmed up for our victory cry which will start in less than 24 hours.
