Iginla, Suleman among top four emerging billionaire prophets in Nigeria
Prophets are widely known as the voice of God. They are labelled as God’s oracle and which explains why many seek them for spiritual assistance.
One man who can be labelled the forerunner of raw prophetic ministration in this dispensation is Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua.
But here, we present to you the leading four emerging prophets in Nigeria with mega ministries including their net worth.
£ 1- Pro. Joshua Iginla
Bro. Joshua Iginla is arguably the leading voice amongst the emerging prophetic voices in this present generation. This humble but powerful clergy whose ministry Champions Royal Assembly based in Kubwa, Abuja has become a force to be reckoned with globally is arguably the rave of the moment.
His prophetic prowess, Word impact, stunning deliverance ministration and unusual miraculous service has made him an enviable voice amongst his peers.
Aside that, he became a line crosser and record breaker when he celebrated his birthday and 25 years in ministry three years back by launching 33 books in a day. Aside that, he dashed out 22 exotic cars at once to celebrities and members of his ministry. His 80,000 seater capacity auditorium in Abuja is still the rave of the moment and he is also currently building another world class record breaking 100,000 seater auditorium in South Africa . Aside that, the clincher was his multibillion Naira challenger Jet which he humbly showcased earlier this year while marking his birthday.
Bro iginla as he is widely known is a daring prophetic voice whose ministrations has become globally accepted now and several people across the world now flock his Kubwa church for salvation, healing, deliverance and prophetic assistance. In fact, his church has become a Jerusalem of sort for dignitaries across the world.
Interestingly, His Champions Television which translates globally has several million followers who partner with the fiery man of God. All his staffers and members have never ceased to attest to how he has been a channel of blessing to them both spiritually and physically. We reliably gathered that all his staffers lived comfortably courtesy of the clergy and have their own ride. According to them, he believes charity begins at home and that he is a failure if he can’t translate the blessings of God in his life to people around him. His ministry is arguably worth over N30 billion.
£ 2 Apostle Johnson Suleman
Apostle Johnson Suleman’s story began few days after he was born. Some men travelled from Warri to Benin (the place of his birth), and requested to see him.
They said they had a message from God. His parents desired to know what the message was. The men said God told them that a man had been born who would be a prophet unto God and minister in His presence.
His parents refused to listen further because they were not Christians. As the young Johnson began to grow, his parents noticed that he had a soft spot for the things of God. He started moving out with the brethren for evangelism and prayers.
On June 20, 1994, he saw a revelation: the world was set before him with Acts 10:38 written on it. He had read through the Bible three times but never noticed the content of Acts 10:38.
The scripture says: “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil, for God was with Him” — Acts 10:38. His interpretation? God wanted him to preach the gospel in all parts of the world.
There and then, he thanked God and asked for directions. On April 29, 1998, he joined the Armor of God Church, Lagos, as an Assistant Pastor. He had a series of revelations from God in which he was instructed on the spiritual powers God had given him and how he would go about the task before him.
This culminated in a 24-hour encounter with the Lord in which He gave him a piece of cloth and said: “Take, wipe out tears from the face of people all over the world, through the revelation of the word, manifestation of my power and reality of the Holy Spirit. Go and produce people of fire and enviable destinies.” The above encounters formed the background of Omega Fire Ministries International, which was established in 2004. The leader of the congregation is by name Apostle Johnson Suleman. The ministry believes in the fire operation of the Spirit of God that refines, purifies and equally destroys.
Omega Fire Ministries Int’l was officially inaugurated on the 1st of February 2004 in Auchi, Edo State – Nigeria and is presided by the General of the Prophetic; Apostle Johnson Suleman.
The miraculous is a common occurrence in the ministry as God confirms the Mandate given to his servant with infallible proofs. God’s servant Apostle Johnson Suleman is endowed with a rare prophetic insight; A Grace that has confirmed and established several African Leaders.
He speaks as an Oracle Of God on national and global matters as it affect the political, social and economic atmosphere of nations across continents of the world. The Accuracy of his uncommon prophetic analysis and confirmed predictions has earned him a name and fame in various fields of human endeavor. Omega Fire Ministries Int’l is one the fastest growing ministries in Africa. With just Eleven years of operation their branch network spreads across Europe, America and various parts of Africa. The International Headquarter Church of the Omega Fire Ministries Int’l is located in KM 132, Okene/Abuja Expressway, Auchi, Edo State, Nigeria.
By prophetic standard, Apostle Johnson Suleman is an Apostle of prophetic reverence and veneration, the man redefines the word simplicity: simple in speech or sermon, even simpler in his deeds and his dressing. And still far simple in how he addresses serious issues.
The “oracle of God” did not rest on his oars as he continues to give the church its global outreach. He distributes his message globally through Facebook and a 24-hour Christian television channel called Celebration TV,’ as well as a 24-hour Christian radio station ‘Voice of Fire Radio’.
Apostle Suleman preaches the gospel alongside his wife Reverend Lizzy Johnson. Listeners receive salvation for their souls, accompanied with signs, miracles, prophetic ministration, and deliverance and healing.
Today, his trademark ‘I don’t serve a dead God – He is the same yesterday, the same today, the same forever more! – is one of the popular ringtones for mobile phone. He has also acquired his own private jet and the multibillion Naira projects sprawled all over Auchi could attest to the fact that his ministry is arguably worth over N25billion.
£3 Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin
Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin is an enigma, although he is considered a man of many principles by his critics.
He is from a dignified humble home and background and was born on the 15th of February 1972 into the family of late Pa Lst Fufeyin of Ofonibidi in Eguomo and Okusozimo quarter in Ojobo Burutu L.G.A. of Delta State as the twenty second out of thirty children and third out of four from Mama Asetu Fufeyin (Nee Boubeni) from a polygamous home.
He started his primary school education at Zuokumor primary school Ojobo, Burutu L.G.A., Delta State between 1981 – 1986 with an encouraging result which catapulted him into Gbesa Grammar School Ojobo between 1986 – 1992 with flying colours.
He was a hardworking business man who ventured into many businesses during his youth to make ends meet but encountered Jesus on his journey in the quest to make a living irrespective of many ups and downs like Saul and other apostles recorded in the Bible.
He was converted into Christianity even though he had involved in other religions in the course of finding his true purpose on earth.
The man’s turning point is a story to reckon with. He moved into his political scenario with little or no favour but acted as an eye opener into Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (M.F.M.) which catapulted him into an enviable height today.
In view of developing his relationship with his creator God Almighty, he went into the mountain for 21 days to seek divine direction to start his early ministry.
After his encounter with God at the mountain top, he started a small fellowship with God’s children under the umbrella of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries as a house fellowship coordinator where he ministered to people. His strong desire for the ultimate power of God inspired another 10 days on the mountain to seek for more empowerment from the Supreme Being that rules heaven and earth.
After his return from another 10 days of fasting and prayer on the mountain, he began a deliverance prayer outreach in a little space at Western Road off Airport Road, Warri, Delta State, Nigeria with prophetic manifestations. Thereafter, there arose controversial issues as to the name behind the mission. In a bid to further his divine purpose irrespective of challenges to stop his vision through the divine power of God, Christ Mercyland Deliverance Ministries was formed to carry on the work of God to save the unsaved, heal the sick and set the captives free.
The Man of God Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin became the founder and General Overseer of Christ Mercyland Deliverance Ministries and the President of Mercy Television.
Today, Christ Mercyland Ministry is a success story not only in Nigeria but also all over the world.
Presently at Mercyland, the rich and the poor, the powerful in society and the down-trodden, members of parliament and chief executives, Olympic athletes, football superstars, Nollywood actors and actresses, comedians, security personnel are members of the church, all jostling for the common purpose which is to serve God in spirit and in truth at a sanctuary where the miracles happen fresh and raw.
With a congregation of over 100,000 members, and a multibillion naira auditorium that stands on an expense of 16 hectares of land under construction and Mercy TV beaming signals throughout the world, there is no better way to appreciate God other than to testify to the world the goodness of God in his life. He also has Mercy land camp which is built on water and can be accessed through speed boats.
The man of God explained that through Mercy TV, thousands of people have received their healing and other miracles too numerous to mention. His ministry is worth over N15 billion.
His uniqueness is the raw manifestation of power and precise prophetic ministrations which is why many called him Prophet Fresh and raw. He is also a chronic philanthropist.
£4 Prophet (Dr) Chris Okafor
Prophet (Dr) Chris Okafor is the founder and General Overseer of Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministry (aka Liberation City), with headquarters in Lagos, Nigeria. He is also the president of the Chris Okafor World outreach Ministries (COWON).
Known as the “Prophetic field Marshal” of God, Chris Okafor was a born mouthpiece of God. He started prophesying evidently at the age of eight. And since then, he has tremendously been fulfilling God’s purpose for him to liberate mankind from diverse afflictions and operations of Satan
The awesomeness of Almighty God is greatly manifested in this servant of God as translated in the high attitude of his spiritual and prophetic prowess, reflected in the sudden and astounding congregational explosion in the ministry, just in time. He is an agent of change and consequently many lives have been touched and transformed.
Presently, the great man of God is navigating the kingdom with tens of thousands of followers across the globe. The Chris Okafor world outreach Ministries (COWON) is an evangelistic wing of the ministry which has cut across edges of nations with a dynamic evangelistic team, taking the gospel of Jesus Christ to the door-steps of all.
Many have encountered the healing power of God through this Prophet. The lame have walked, the dead have risen, the blind have regained sight, the deaf and dumb have been restored, and the insane have been divinely repositioned. Today, Mountain of Liberation And Miracle Ministries has proliferated all over Nigeria and several countries abroad.
Dr. Chris Okafor founded the church (Mountain Of Liberation And Miracle Ministries (a.k.a Liberation City) in November 2003 in his then one bedroom apartment, before he later moved to Prismoni Primary School, Ojodu, where full church services commenced.
First, the church occupied a classroom, then a school hall. Worshippers that were trooping in soon became so many that the hall could no longer contain them, then the need for a bigger space arose and consequently, the church sought for a refuge at a spacious warehouse on No 9, Bashiru Street, Ojodu, Ikeja – Lagos..
Within a year, the crowd grew and the church resorted to mounting canopies and chairs outside, thinking this would solve the problem but rather, it became more a problem as the size of the overflow soon necessitated blocking of the street every Sunday. Then, there used to be about ten erected canopies outside and suddenly the overflow became more than the main auditorium.
Again the church sort for another space – this time to build a church and, a portion of land was found on Oshofisan Street where the church, now LIBERATION CITY, a well-structured church facility was built and commissioned in August, 2010. His Liberation Television spreads across the continents of the world and he is also a philanthropist. His net worth is estimated N12 billion.

LASG Announces Resumption Of Monthly Environmental Sanitation For April 25
The Lagos State Government has officially announced the reintroduction of the monthly environmental sanitation exercise, set to resume on Saturday, April 25, 2026.
This marks the return of the state-wide cleaning culture nearly ten years after its suspension in 2016.
Residents are expected to clean their surroundings, clear drainage channels in front of their homes, and dispose of waste responsibly as part of efforts to improve environmental hygiene and tackle waste management challenges.
The Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, on Saturday, disclosed the development in a statement, explaining that the exercise would officially restart later in the year.
“I am pleased to inform all Lagosians that the monthly environmental sanitation exercise will resume effective Saturday, 25th April 2026, holding on the last Saturday of every month from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.
“During this period, residents are enjoined to clean their surroundings, clear drainage channels in their frontages, and dispose of waste properly as a civic responsibility.”
Wahab urged residents to view the initiative as a shared duty toward building a healthier city, stressing that the government would ensure strict compliance.
“This exercise is a collective responsibility and a vital part of our commitment to a cleaner, healthier, and flood-resilient Lagos. And it shall be backed with the full enforcement weight of the Lagos State Government,” he said.
Explaining the significance of reintroducing the sanitation culture, the commissioner said the state was returning to a practice that once formed part of Lagosians’ lifestyle.
“Let me formally say this and say it boldly. Mr Governor and his deputy are taking a very audacious step. For those who don’t know, prior to 2016, we had a culture that emphasised cleanliness as next to godliness.
“Once every month, we took our time to clean up our surroundings and then maintain them sparkling. However, for some years, we stopped it.”
He said the absence of the exercise had contributed to mounting environmental pressures in the state.
“Now, waste, debt, and environmental challenges have become an existential challenge to us as a state. It’s taken us over a year to debate, talk, and agree that it’s time to reintroduce a monthly environmental sanitation,” Wahab said.
Appealing to residents for cooperation, he urged Lagosians to dedicate a small portion of their time each month to environmental cleanliness.
“It’s a plea that it is time for us to give up just one or two hours a month. In our marketplaces, every Thursday, we observe environmental cleanliness. But this time, we are saying as a state, let us sit back once a month and observe the cleanliness of our environment as we used to before 2016.”
JomogNews reports that the monthly sanitation exercise, previously held on the last Saturday of every month between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m., was suspended in November 2016 following a legal pronouncement restricting movement during the exercise.
The suspension later coincided with growing waste management concerns, including clogged drainage channels and indiscriminate refuse disposal across parts of the state.

States, LGA Now Have More Allocations — Tinubu Urges Media To Demand Accountability
President Bola Tinubu has urged the media to extend their scrutiny to State and Local Governments, noting that his administration’s reforms have significantly increased their financial allocations.
During an interfaith breaking of fast with media executives on Friday, the President emphasized that sub-national governments now enjoy greater financial autonomy and should be held accountable for grassroots development.
Tinubu said his administration’s economic reforms, especially the removal of the petrol subsidy, have increased funds available to states.
“We have opened up the principle of federalism to the extent that local governments are now getting their money. But how they use it is in your hands, so don’t bombard me alone. Look at local governments too, and equally, the sub-national,” Tinubu said.
“Today, there is no state that is borrowing to pay the salaries of employees. Yes, we can complain that it is not enough. We can complain we are not where we should be, but we have to manage what we have to sustain today, survive tomorrow, and make progress”.
Tinubu commended the media for criticising his government, saying it challenged and provoked him to serve Nigerians better.
“Thank you for inspiring me and challenging me in critical moments of my life. If I look at various barrages of negative comments as opposed to positive aspects of the assignment, I shouldn’t be standing here. That is the truth,” the president said.
“You didn’t spare me, but you challenged me, provoked that intellectual curiosity of a leader that must perform. There is no morning that I ever leave my house without going through the newspapers. It’s an addiction. I read all of you, it might not be in full detail, but the headlines, the ones that hit me.
“Leadership is about taking responsibility to make decisions at the right time. Otherwise, it’s a failure. At the time, we had to confront the subsidy. Nigeria was on the verge of bankruptcy.
“But having asked for the job and getting it, I cannot look back other than make corrections as I move along, save the nation, bring it back from the brink. Today, I can stand proudly before you that we are back from that brink.”
Tinubu added that he will continue to do his job with “patriotic dedication” to improve Nigeria.

I Delivered $15m Agency Cash To Ex-NIMASA DG Akpobolokemi, EFCC Witness Tells Court
A prosecution witness, Captain Ezekiel Bala-Agaba, testified in a Lagos Federal High Court on Thursday, that he personally delivered $15 million in cash to former NIMASA DG, Patrick Akpobolokemi.
The witness, Bala-Agaba, a former Executive Director of Maritime Safety, Shipping Development and Marine Operations at NIMASA, made the disclosure while testifying before Justice Ayokunle Faji of the Federal High Court in Lagos.
Captain Agaba, who appeared as the 15th prosecution witness, told the court that funds meant for pipeline surveillance were withdrawn from NIMASA’s accounts, converted into dollars, and handed over to Dr Akpobolokemi.
According to him, the money was taken to a Bureau de Change, which converted it into $15 million before the cash was delivered to the NIMASA office on Burma Road, Apapa, Lagos.
He said he subsequently took the money to the office of the then Director-General.
“The money was sent to a Bureau de Change, which later brought the dollar equivalent to our office at Burma Road, Apapa, Lagos. I asked my Personal Assistant, Ekene Nwakuche, to carry the bag and follow me to the Director-General’s office,” he told the court.
The witness explained that he collected the bag from his aide before entering the office.
“When we got to the door of the Director-General’s office, I collected the bag from him and asked him to wait outside. I then personally delivered the sum of $15 million to the Director-General.”
The witness was initially a defendant in the case but later opted to testify for the prosecution.
While being led in evidence by prosecuting counsel, Suleiman Suleiman, he explained the chain of command within NIMASA and how financial approvals were processed in the agency.
According to him, the Director-General is the overall head of the agency and issues instructions to directors, who then implement policies in line with the NIMASA Act.
He told the court that he chaired the agency’s Intelligence Committee, which was responsible for certain security-related operations.
“As chairman of the committee, I oversaw its activities and reported directly to the Director-General, Dr. Patrick Akpobolokemi,” he said.
During the proceedings, the witness was also shown a document containing a letter from Access Bank to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) detailing transactions in NIMASA’s accounts between 2013 and 2015.
When asked how much money he took to the former Director-General, Agaba replied: “$15 million.”
After listening to the testimony, Justice Faji adjourned the matter until April 22 and 23 for cross-examination of the witness.
The EFCC had in December 2015 arraigned Dr. Akpobolokemi and seven others before the court on a 30-count charge bordering on conspiracy, fraudulent conversion of funds and money laundering.
Those charged alongside the former NIMASA boss include, Warredi Enisuoh, Governor Juan, Ugo Frederick, Timi Alari, as well as Alkenzo Limited and Penniel Engineering Services Limited.
They pleaded not guilty to the offences.
The anti-graft agency alleged that the defendants conspired to divert funds running into over N1.15 billion under the guise of providing security intelligence in Nigeria’s maritime domain.
According to the EFCC, the NIMASA Intelligence Committee allegedly received N1,153,000,000 between December 2013 and July 2015.
Investigations further revealed that several companies contracted to execute the intelligence operations were either unregistered or lacked the capacity to perform the services, while some were allegedly linked to the defendants.
The prosecution also alleged that the defendants nominated or owned many of the companies used to execute the contracts.
One of the charges stated that the defendants conspired to commit offences punishable under the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2012.
