I Watch Emmanuel TV daily, says Chiluba
Chiluba with Joshua in 2001
By Ihechukwu Njoku-His first trip outside Zambia since he was famously acquitted of varying allegations of corruption, Frederick Chiluba has returned to The Synagogue, Church of All Nations (SCOAN) in Lagos, Nigeria, almost 9 years after his first visit when President.
The former president, who has been the subject of intense scrutiny throughout his post-presidential era, was a guest of Pastor TB Joshua of the Emmanuel TV fame this Sunday, and witnessed an explosive service at The SCOAN, lasting an extraordinary 10 hours.
When asked by an Emmanuel TV reporter his experience of the service, which included the deliverance and rehabilitation of several armed robbers as well as a thanksgiving service for the MVP of the recently concluded FIFA U-17 World Cup, Sani Emmanuel, Chiluba was full of praises to God for Prophet Joshua and Emmanuel TV, which he said he watched daily.
Describing the service as ‘highly inspiring’ and ‘motivating’, he opined that leaders would do well to seek God’s wisdom in governance. “If you read the book of Kings in the Bible, kings that depended on God guided their nations peacefully and successfully. God never changes. When we depend on Him… we will do extremely well,” he said, stating that since declaring Zambia a Christian nation at the start of his presidency, the country had moved steadily forward.
He also extolled the virtues of Emmanuel TV, TB Joshua’s Christian television station that is growing increasing popular throughout Zambia and indeed Africa. “It is really inspiring, not only for ordinary people but even for great leaders. I have been watching Emmanuel TV on a daily basis and my wife and I not only enjoy it, we are taught great lessons. We learn, we are inspired, we are motivated and we keep believing the Lord is truly with us; He is always present.”
He further admonished other leaders to follow in his stead by watching Emmanuel TV and inculcating the godly principles taught there. “For leaders, it is critical that they watch Emmanuel TV. They learn a tremendous amount of knowledge and wisdom. God’s wisdom is the only wisdom. And it helps you guide and lead people extremely well with the knowledge you receive – because every utterance from the prophet is based on the Bible, it’s scripture-based.”
Chiluba and his wife Regina, who accompanied her husband, were witness to the celebration surrounding two members of Pastor Joshua’s football club, My People FC, who were part of Nigeria’s cadet team, the Golden Eaglets, during their recent campaign in the U-17 World Cup. Sani Emmanuel, the MVP of the tournament, was brought up by Joshua and is an altar boy in The SCOAN.
“This is a beauty to behold,” said Chiluba, “this is the way you build youngsters, the way you draw them away from whatever life of suffering or want they may be going through, and you build and mould them into very responsible citizens.” Emmanuel dedicated his awards to the less privileged, stating that he came from a humble background before being discovered by Joshua. “We must thank this man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua for recognizing and locating such talent,” Chiluba noted, adding that it will inspire others to do likewise.
Joshua, noted for his charitable works and prophetic prowess, also rehabilitated several armed robbers in the service, an act that won commendation from Chiluba. “Truly and honestly for me, that is The Gospel at work – they (ex-armed robbers) are bound to change a lot of people, and we welcome those young men. But remember – that could never have happened if this man of God was not highly anointed, so anointed so that he could be able to speak peace and love to those lost souls and they came in.” The robbers had been living in the church for a fortnight following their deliverance. They were all financially supported to pursue the careers of their choice, promising not to return to lives of criminality.
Both the former President and his wife were unanimous in their message to viewers: “Don’t miss a single day without watching Emmanuel TV.”
It would be recalled that John Atta Mills, the president of Ghana was in The Synagogue in January this year, testifying to the accurate prophetic message Joshua had given him before his ascension to power.
Editor’s Note: This story was sent to us by a Ngerian based journalis Ihechukwu Njoku who said after reading the Watchdog, he felt that Zammbians may want to know what Chiluba said in Nigeria.

I watched Chiluba in the service on Sunday. The last time he visited Nigeria was about 9 years ago. In my opinion – he has seen what has happened to President Atta Mills of Ghana after his connection with TB Joshua and has realized his mistake.
Chawa, you have said the truth, PANYO is a liar. You people are cheated easily. Nigerians have exposed this man and his fake miracles and yet our so-called former heads of state want solace from the rotten , criminal cult! This is how simple FTJ can be though we crown him a “Ndola complicated LAZO”, here he falls flat on his belly and is reduce to rubble! Why should PANYO (PAKE) think Zambians are fools, and even if a few are should be, would it be forever?NO!
you Chaps, Leave FTJ alone!
mmm…its not quite the SCORN…
I was happy to see our former president so happy worshipping at the Synagogue with TB Joshua – after so many years of suffering and persecution – it was interesting to listen to him talking about the valuable lessons he has learned through watching Emmanuel TV.
Here we go again: Chiluba trying to use a suspect belief system (Christianity) in order to indoctrinate the rest of us into accepting false claims of divine influence over our human lives. Indeed, religion is the opium of the masses.

The trip to Nigeria gobbles tax payer money (according to shikapwasha that is an entitlement as pension) that hates. Looking at what LPM reviewed of this man it is nosensical to continue him enjoy our sweat.Let him pay from his pocket for he is able and I saw him donate millions of dollars to emmanuel team (He fails to give Nkana support his team).The point is am not bothered if he goes to bahamas enjoy his stolen money as long as he does not injure us Zambian through ‘eating tax payers in the named of a retired Prez.’
Chiluba is just enjoying himself like any other zambian would do when u have cash, whats wrong taking somebody’s wife if she agrees? Court cases are over , lets just fight this man RB, and hope the next Presido will start the Chiluba cases again and win. The picture looks really funny, is this the ka man who was our president? I never saw him at close range.
You will know them by their fruits. Read the bible and pray unceasingly so that you may not be deceived. They expand explosively were they sense hopelessness, desperation and apprehension because they know they don,t have to dig deep to make money, just a little sweet talk mixed with a bit of tongues, bingo! they start having everything big – cars, mansions, bank accounts, churches and even wives fatten a little bit. And i’ve seen people conned to tithe 100% of their earnings in anticipation of bigger harvest, it’s a lie wake Africa. Thats why even Lazo’s don’t find it very difficult to speak in these bespoke churches. i know for a fact FTJ wouldn’t have it easy to speak in catholic church or SDA, he would be asked to go through the mill of repentance and possibly baptism after confessing his sins.
The actions of Chiluba do not convince me that he is a God fearing man and follower of Christ. Remember, the bible says it is by their actions that you’ll know them. I have never heard Chiluba attending to the sick, the poor, the starving, etc or any activities that show compassion, humility or selflessness. In fact, it is almost unimaginable to associate such behaviour with this man. It is easier to see stubbornness, pride and self-centredness in him; really, poles apart with mother Theressa traits. What kind of man of God is this!
II KINGS 13; 1 – 34
Danny pule do not think that we dont know what you are doing? you are organising trips of chiluba TO NIGERIA. We know that you are a OLD PROPHET METIONED in IIKINGS 13;1 -34 WHOSE MISSION IS TO WEEKEN AND DESTROY GOD’S TRUE PROPHETS LIKE TBJOSHUA. Man i wone you before the wrath of God come upon zambia to stop this your nonsece. Danny pule, Joshua banda, Chihaanah, MUsusu, Matele, and many other feck pastors like Ronnie shikapwasha. please save RUPIAH BANDA FROM DROWNING.
Joe King,
I shed tears realising that you can’t see the urgency of FTJ to repent! Whooooop! All those billions he stole, if he is genuine should be brought back, and not stashed in foreign banks! You must be shamed coz even your conscious (if alive) must be witnessing just now. Zambia was wrecked by FT and his Cronies and when we see signs of pride and hypocrisy we can not be scared of people who do not care for Mum Zambia, but like their “Fathers”,YOUR BELLY! Please sober up, and look at the suffering out here. Even the comment from PANYO PATAMBALA makes more sense than yours.
John 4;16 – 26.
Jesus said to the woman “Go, call your husband and come to this place.”
I do not have a husband.” Jesus said to her; “you said well, a husband I do not have ‘.
For you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband.This you have said truthfully.”
The woman said to him “Sir, I perceive you are a prophet.
The went into the city and told the men or people and said “Come here, see a man that told me all the things i did.
WITH DUE RESPECT TO T.B JOSHUA CAN HE SHOW AS ALL THE CREPS HE HAS TOLD THIS UNREPENTANT FORMER HEAD OF ZAMBIA. CAN HE TRULY TELL REGINA WHAT JESUS TOLD THE SAMARITAN WOMAN.”GO CALL YOUR HUSBAND” TBJOSHUA PLEASE TELL THE PEOPLE OF ZAMBIA THE TRUTH OF GOD ABOUT KAFUPI AND REGINA. DO WE HAVE MEN OF GOD IN ZAMBIA? WHY CAN’T THEY TELL CHILUBA THE TRUTH. IF ZAMBIA FELLS TO PUNISH CHILUBA, GOD WILL PUNISH ZAMBIA.
Joe King please, open your eyes! This is not about ‘holier than thou’ but a shameless thief who’s trying to defend himself using the name of God. We are all sinners and that is why we need to beg for God’s forgiveness and not to justify ourselves when we have sinned like Chiluba is doing. About declaring Zambia a Christian nation, judge me if Zambia has ever been better after that. We have seen the worst kind of corruption in Chiluba’s reign and tell me if this man didn’t just use the name of God to keep ignorant people unsuspicious. The problem with us Zambians is that whenever someone mentions God, we think that person is godly. Chiluba is an unrepentant thief and that is why we judge him today!
Judge not you holier than thou, if any 1 of u hasnt sinned in the past 48hrs continue throwing stones,the man has been a christian even before u were born, he even declared zambian a christian nation, the only 1 da whole universe. We all error but wat mataz is hw quik we realise it en turn back .
Warning: Ask BBC, CNN, SKY or any TV station in Nigeria. No one knows TB’s origin! That’s how bad the matter is. If FTJ knows this, may be it doesn’t matter to him because it matters not when thousands die in hospitals because there are no drugs, all the public funds were personal when he reigned, and he is doing everything possible to camouflage all the malpractices even sordid acts that kill the whole nation! Shame. We are talking about a man who can feign an illness and be on medics in RSA up to the time he is Acquitted in a “Magistrates and first ever form of Appeal Court” in Zambia. We are brainstorming, and gathering our zeal. Someday the money will surely come back and be used for development of the nation. What type of Christian is this man? Who can’t even show remorse for his open sins? What a leader! He is a DEALER! Too smart? We are closing in…
In the first instance we doubt prophet TB Joshua’s insinuations as a man of god to welcome a hypocrit is the so called house of the lord. Why can’t the TB tell off sinfull acts this man has committed rather than praising him. Your’e all hypocrits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I dearly need to visit the SCOAN as well. Please can someone help me. We are all aware of the Dollars surrounding bwana T. B. Joshua and the flock.
can i steal my neighbours wife, and take her to church as my wife?
we want our money hypocrite
FTJ’s hypocrisy. Wants to deceive T. B. Joshua. Return our $40 million.
