The pastor asked his followers to pray after YouTube closed his channel with more than 1.8 million subscribers and 600 million views.

The founder of The Synagogue Church of All Nations, Pastor TB Joshua, has urged his followers to “pray for YouTube” after Emmanuel TV channel was blocked over allegations of hate speech against LGBT people.

“I want you to help me pray for YouTube,” said Temitope Balogun Joshua, known as TB Joshua, in his Sunday service shared on Facebook.

Last week, YouTube closed the pastor’s channel with more than 1.8 million subscribers and 600 million views.

The UK-based rights organisation OpenDemocracy said it was behind the closure.

“In response to our enquiries about TB Joshua´s controversial exorcisms, YouTube terminated his channel,” it said on its website.

In one of his YouTube videos, watched more than 1.5 million times, a woman is seen being hit violently to “cure” her of her sexual orientation.

“Between 2016 and January 2020, the channel posted at least seven similar clips showing the charismatic Christian televangelist engaging in violent exorcism,” OpenDemocracy wrote.

Joshua has already mobilised his followers to inundate YouTube with protests and appeals

“We strongly oppose all forms of hate speech!” he wrote on Facebook. “We have had a long and fruitful relationship with YouTube and believe this decision was made in haste.”

Facebook also removed several videos on Joshua’s page, which has 5.6 million followers.

The moves were criticised online in Nigeria where the evangelical community is powerful and churches have tens of thousands of followers.

In 2014, a new law set prison terms of up to 14 years for those found guilty of “homosexual acts”, and while it has never been used, homosexuality is widely condemned in Africa’s most populous country.

TB Joshua, often called “the man of God” or “the Prophet” known for his “miracles” and “resurrections”, has an estimated fortune of several million dollars, according to Forbes.

Following the suspension, the pastor opened a new YouTube page that already had 27,000 subscribers after 24 hours.
