Did TB Joshua Fake Cuthbert Dube’s Healing?
IT was one of the most powerful images of 2010 — Cuthbert Dube, the then ZIFA president, rising from his wheelchair, after being ‘cured’ by Prophet T.B. Joshua at his Synagogue Church of All Nations in Lagos, Nigeria.
Dube, who was one of the most influential local business executives at the time as he headed the Premier Services Medical Aid Society, had turned to the Nigeria prophet to cure his spinal complications.
He arrived at the service in a wheelchair and, as millions watched around the world on Emmanuel TV, he rose from that wheelchair as he celebrated his miraculous healing.

Fourteen years later, Dube still has challenges when it comes to walking and, after the BBC reported recently that the so-called miracles were faked by the late prophet and his inner circle, several questions are now being asked.
And, in Dube’s case, this is the central question: Was he duped into believing he was being healed by the late prophet?
Was the clip of his ‘healing’ just a FAKE exercise that Prophet T.B. Joshua and his team set up to dupe more people?
Attempts to contact Dube were unsuccessful yesterday. But, this is how Prophet T.B. Joshua and his team packaged it.
“Also during the service, we saw the spectacular demonstration of God’s power in the life of Mr Cuthbert Elkana Dube of Zimbabwe.
“A man of many titles including Group Chief Executive Officer of Premier Service Medical Aid Society, chairman of West End Hospital, chairman of Premier Banking Corporation and president of Zimbabwe Football Association to name a few, had come to The SCOAN in a wheelchair, unable to walk due to a severe spinal cord problem.
“As he sat in the front row close to the man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua began to talk about his case. “He then called Mr Cuthbert Elkana Dube’s wife forward to administer the anointing Water for salvation, healing and deliverance to her husband.
“He instructed her to apply it into his mouth, on his head, to the back of his neck and down his spine. He then said, “Stand Up!” and at that word – he did.
“The auditorium exploded into praise and worship to God for His mighty deeds. God has recently raised up three men of God from The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations for His glory and has been showing Himself strong in their lives.”
But, the whole exercise was not short on controversy and Prophet TB Joshua was forced to issue a statement.
“The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) Overseer T. B Joshua has dismissed claims that the fired Zifa president Cuthbert Dube paid tens of thousands of dollars as an offering to the church ahead of getting his healing when he went for assistance to the Nigerial’s Lagos based church,” said a statement from SCOAN.
“Dube was healed by T. B Joshua when he was wheelchair-bound and was able to walk again.
“We want to emphasise that miracles, signs, wonders, deliverance and healing cannot be exchanged with money.
“They are not for sale but free gifts paid for by the blood Jesus Christ shed on the Cross of Calvary.
“We should therefore not trade the name of Jesus with money. Salvation is free. Whatever you receive from God in The SCOAN is free.”
