Photo/Video: T.B. Joshua carrying three bags of rice

Article once again written by freelance journalist, Iheuchukwu Njoku...
A picture of controversial Pastor T.B. Joshua carrying three bags of rice went viral this week within Nigerian social media and blogs. While most commended Joshua for his humility and humanity, there were suggestions that the picture was ‘photo-shopped’. Others insinuated the image was nothing but a tasteless publicity stunt in the light of the recent tragedy that befell The SCOAN where over 100 died in a building collapse.
As a viewer of Emmanuel TV, I have actually seen the video clip of this particular humanitarian mission previously and managed to find the footage on YouTube.  For clarification, this did not take place after the tragedy last month, putting to rest the allegation that this was an ill-timed publicity feat. So, for all the doubters and skeptics, here is video evidence of Pastor T.B. Joshua carrying three bags of rice in one of his numerous philanthropic visits to less-privileged areas.

Rubbish! Publicity stunt. This doesn't change the fact that he is evil. *long hiss*

Of what relevance is this to what happened? this is to tell you how he has been fooling his followers all these while. Eyes service....

If not for any other thing,this man deserves a heavenly place for his humanitarian works..he has an A+ in charity more dan any other pastor,politician etc in the world

Dis man is an epitome of humility. I have watched several videos before now whr Pastor Joshua carried bags of rice and helped in cleaning his Church. Commendable...

Publicity stunt or not... thats some humility! At least he gives back to the society

ary said...

It is a cheap publicity stunt whether it was before or after the tragic incidence at SCOAN, like someone pointed out on one of the blogs that published the story, there should have being other means to transport those bags of rice; example wheelbarrows but he decided to carry it on his head endangering his life and health!
You'd think for the owner of SCOAN or for a church like SCOAN a wheelbarrow wouldn't be hard to get! But here is their head pastor carrying almost 150kg of rice on his head and tomorrow he would be the one people would turn to for advice on common sense?!

Anonymous said...

for him to have deemed it fit to even carry the bags is worth praising ,weda na after the church incident oooo or before oooo,this one won my heart amoung many other things he has been doing for people,how many of this criminal pastors with so much money are giving out one naira let alone carry one nylon bag of rice ?u see securities around them as if them b obama,their universities most expensive,live in a big houses,own flashy cars and live like kings while church members are suffering like a church rat,before them go criticise me here ,am not Joshua's church member ooo but from my point of view,this man has reach out in many ways to the poor. i laugh i laugh

This is not his first time of carrying bags of rice with those distributing d rice. They should leave d man alone and let God be d judge.

Publicity stunt or not, will Ayodepo, Okotie or even Adeboye do this? He's a Nigerian millionaire people, they don't normally wear Tshirts in public talk less of volunteer for hard labour and carry heavy bags of rice on their heads in the hot sun along with errand boys. Good for him.

Well, I urge people to stop saying bad things about Prophet Joshua! The Bible says curse not my Prophet! The collapse of the building, it could have happened to any building, people should know that when someone is exceedenly blessed the devil will try so hard to tempt that person to lead him astray, this is ref to what happened to Job in the Bible, I'm sure if social media was around during Job's time people will say "its because Job's money and wealth came from the devil that's why God is exposing him now", its a pity it happened to the synagogue, but God is the Alpha and Omega, He will protect us !

I watch emmanuel tv a lot, no be today prophet Joshua dey carry bag of rice for head, even cement he has carried! So people shouldn't run their mouth on issues they don't know a hay about! Out of all our top pastors in Nigeria its only Prophet TB that I ve seen doing good humanitarian works, He's blessed to be a blessing

I have watched the video on EmmanuelTV; this video is like 5yrs ago or more. The truth is that Prophet T.B Joshua is a humble man. People will always talk no matter what but at the end, the truth will overcome.
Emmanuel : God is with us!

Linda. I don't really know what's wrong with Nigerians not appreciating God for sending TB Joshua to Nigeria. Must what happened to Jesus happened to Nigeria. What not learn from the rejection and killing of Jesus by the Israelites. Spiritual calling are different but the same Spirit. It time the Pst Adeboye, Pst Kumuy, Pst Oyedepo, of this country andvCAN join hands and come together for Christendom in Nigeria

A kind gesture this is good shows how humble a man can be despite his riches but again it is not necessary cod he could easily get an army of boys that would distribut these bags. Nice one tho.

In my heart I respect this man. He is controversial but whether he Is good or evil, lets leave that to God. The fact remains that those bags of rice and other things he does do get to the less privileged and it helps them

So becos he carried bags of rice dat makes him a true manof God

@linda Ikeji i hope you see this one, you see something..I do not go to TB Joshua's church and i have never been been there,but i know one thing for sure. TB Joshua is one of the most humbled pastors i have ever known,i watched alot of his videos online and i know this man of God has had a very humble beginning right from the day he built his first church,he also helped the laborers mix the cements and carry dem.So if its a publicity stunt of wat so ever ,it shouldn't matter because whats really important is the fact that he help the needy more than any other pastor in Nigeria has ever done.He don't own a private jet even tho he has the money to buy them. No flashy cars,expensive clothes or watch compared to the rest. He has tried so let leave God with the Judgement.Thank you

mindcod3 said...

Every one here be commenting shit about the man of God...saying its publicity stunts, this is a well known man of God and how sure are they about their facts? I cant be a member of my church and watch my pastor show signs of humility like dis and i wont try to video just to have a record for him..Its not just saying he did tell someone to get a phone and record him ,cos it makes no sense

@kimmy. Carrying three bags of rice on his head is not humility but hazard. He night break his neck in the process. They should be moved with wheelbarrow, and his church is rich enough to afford many.
