Ebola cannot harm TB Joshua. He is protected by the hand of the most high God. Prophet Joshua can touch an Ebola patient and nothing would happen to him.
Remember that TB Joshua was able to raise the dead. He has cured AIDS. He can cure Ebola easily.
It is not by his might but by the Might of God.

TB Joshua is a charlatan! Making money because you can´t think independently. In Europe many doctors use the technique of hypnotizing to assist their healing method of patience but don´t call themselves men of God or prophets because there is nothing like that! Who appointed him? You? loool. Don´t be a fool.

If he was able to raise the dead, then why are there about 30 dead bodies littering his compound?

If he was able to raise the dead, then why are there about 30 dead bodies littering his compound?

You are so empty headed that it's not even funny. Just pathetic that Ghana still has illiterate fools like you filling the ranks of the educated.
No wonder the thieving politicians are having a field day leading Ghanaians into the political gutters by their noses.

Just sad. Simply sad.
I really pity Ghana as a nation if you are the type she has for citizenry.

You call yourself a "prophetess" without the slightest idea how loaded that word is.

GOD SHOULD REALLY HELP GHANA!!!!

Stupid comment from a so stupid Naa. Get a life and stop being ignorant. This is one of the very best articles ever posted on Ghanaweb. Ebola itself has descended heavily on TB Joshua's mansion in Lagos. This means that he is reaping the seeds he has sewn in Sierra Leone. Holy water is noting but an insult to debilitating Ebola infected people in West Africa. Get serious and stop your nonsense.

Thanks a bunch for this timely article. Churches of today have turned their place of worship into a miracle centers & many people uncritically accept any miracle stories they hear. Satan knows people, especially, Africans are downright gullible & therefore using these fake miracle workers to deceive them. They prey on the desperate & ignorant people to make lots of money. Unfortunately, satan has blinded the eyes & mind of people & it won't take long before their mumu followers start to chant "touch not my anointed", a phrase used by these charlatan to brainwash the mindless zombies into believing that their omnipotence & also to refrain from being held accountable for their deceitful behaviors. Tb joshua rained death upon his critic but can't go to the hospitals to use his miracles to heal those who are missing limbs from his collapse church nor give his so-called anointed water to the ebola victims in his own land. Wake up people, stop worshipping your pastors & use your brains to reason as to why most of them are so filthy rich.

These so-called men of God are fraudsters. Good snake oil salesmen, interested only in opulence and women. I am still waiting for them to point Malaysian Flight 370 investigators in the right direction. Then maybe, we can save some money for EBOLA. Judgments awaits them.

This is a serious matter maybe we should be paying for them. Thus isn't about miracle healers this is about saving a nation or even the world.

A very good eye-opening article for the gullible scam artist believers.

Here is the proof that these so-called "men of God" are nothing but hoodlums and scammers who prey on the gullible with the evil intentions of robbing them of their hard earned money to support their affluent lifestyles.

Good job, Leo.

Well done Leo. What you say is further proof that possibly all of our religious leaders are bogus, certainly all of those who claim to be miracle workers. It is also further proof that their followers are lazy idiots.

Thank Igwe, continue to expose all these satanic agents calling themselves prophets, pastors, men of god. They're powerless & that TB Joshua followers are now coming out to declare he's fake & powerless. Read Osun defender.

Great Job, Leo
God bless you for writing this article.
Some of our people are so adamantly stupid and brainwashed that as soon as you say something they see negative or damaging about their pastors, they will be the first to come out to condemn the article or show support for these fraudsters.
It's so sad, I wonder if some of his followers are paid to defend these 'man of God' on social media.
There's time for everything though.
Each of these fraudsters will pay their price for damaging our communities and spreading falsehood

Excellent article Leo! Africans need to stop going to church because of miracles. Isn't it ironic that the pastors claiming to have powers for miracles have the most followers and the most money?

leo igwe,, my brother, you did real justice on the issue with regards to our so called faith healers and how they have under-blanketed themselves like living in the eskimos atmosphere for the first time,, however,, to tell you the truth, until any president on the continent would have his ,,balls,, hard in his pant and enact laws that would not permit ,, some of these ,,holyfied criminals,, to harbor quantum of labour force during blistering industrial hours, there is noway these criminal outbreak would stop.. Bearing in mind that certain pastors openly managed to rap most presidents on the continent in praying to arrest the depreciation of a currency and weakening economy... Bro, Igwe, lets not forget that all those faith healers between monday- friday stock over 56% of our active labor force in their churches and shrines as well as their self-styled mosque cages . What about our opinion leaders, politikos, ministers and then again same presidents whose over-reliance publicly on these faith bandits for solutions in their personal issues ????. Don,t we think that is the heaviest billboard publicity displayed for them to cover their mileage ??? So,, analytically, how would a market illiterate mother like mine or a school dropped-out sister like yours would not listen to them if these aforementioned personalities tone that line of comedian beliefs ???. Our big brother TB says that ,, enemy,s hand is deep in the collapse of his ,, church-hotel,,,. Some of us could grab the understanding of how the much talked about holy-spirit could allow that to happen ??. I thought our Big bro Joshua would rather preach of faith and relate that accident to how God/Allah tested his believers and prophets ??? but we only heard curses on those he claimed might have done that !!! Clearly you could tell out that an african faith was crying over his collapsed property and the blocks he,s going to buy again..
May almighty Allah grant us faith and open our minds, our eyes and give us abundant wisdom to analyze life else by the time he comes again,, we shall be caged in someone,s ,,faith farms,, in africa here!!!!

Wow for people who claim they believe in God good ditch to take, you are not bashing healing pastors you are bashing God!! Was Jesus stripped for our healing or not! Wow ignorance is not okay people and you will be held accountable for your religous crap that brings the word of God no power! Obvoiusly you dont read your bibles and have no faith in God. One it isnt anyones mighty power but Gods so check yourself by blasphemying the Holy spirit which Jesus said is the unforgivable sin! I feel mercy for all of you to stand before our God with all your wrong docttine your sick and perverted thinking! And how do you know in fact no one has been healed, and how do you know they have been taught properly, how about if they are like you disbelieving and full of fear. Check yourself before you blasphemy God and Hos works
