Nigerians on social media were quick to react to the photos and videos.
One user said: "After God told TB Joshua that COVID-19 will end on the 27th of March but failed. He has now gone into the bush praying. Whereas in Matthew 6:5-6 God said. do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues & on the street corners to be seen by others."
"Christianity is such an interesting religion. You can give prophecy which doesn't work and still rebrand it to something else. That's how Seven Day Adventist and Jehovah Witnesses came to be. See TB Joshua, after prophecy failure self isolating," another Twitter user wrote.
