The death of the popular figure from Arigidi, Akoko Ondo state comes just 7 days to his 58th birthday (on June 12).
Those who should know have revealed two of the people that will be most affected by his death.
These individuals are labeled the most powerful women within his ministry based on extraordinary closeness to the late prophet.
One is identified as his wife of 31 years – Evelyn.
Evelyn, 52 got married to the Synagogue founder in 1990.
Vanguard gathered that the mother of three met T.B Joshua when she went to seek spiritual guidance from the fairly unknown prophet at his home in Ikotun Egbe.
Ikotun-Egbe, in Lagos State, later transformed into the international headquarters of the Synagogue Church of All Nations with branches in different parts of the world.
“I heard he proposed marriage to her the first time they met. He spoke to her for forty-five minutes and proposed and she accepted, They got married some months later” societynow.ng learned.
Delta State born Evelyn – nee Akabude -, from Okala Opuno in Oshimili North Local Government went on to become one of the major powers in her husband’s ministry as his influence and popularity grew.
The former staff of Nigerian Distilleries in Ota, Ogun state though actively involved in her husband’s ministry played a very subdued role in his public life – and was majorly unknown until she started public preaching on SCOAN’s platforms not too long ago.
The other powerful woman at the “Synagogue” better known to members and guests at the Synagogue is identified as Bose.
Bose is a darker shade of the complexion of Prophet Joshua’s wife – and younger too.
She is the very last person visitors see before meeting with the SCOAN founder estimated to be worth well over $15Million.
“Once you see Bose, you are assured of seeing the prophet when he was alive” Vanguard learnt.
Those who should know disclosed that Bose was so embedded in the activities of the late Prophet that she was always present wherever he was.
“She is the one that holds his person effects, especially when they travel” societynow.ng learned.
The information available has it that this closeness with the founder gave Bose whose roots remain a mystery enormous influence within the “Synagogue”.
“Obviously as a wife whose world revolves around her husband, Evelyn will be hard hit with the death T.B Joshua but Bose will be devastated as someone whose existence was all about duties assigned by the prophet,” it was gathered.
