Pastor Jerry Eze, founder of Streams of Joy and Declaration (NSPPD), has become Nigeria’s highest-earning YouTuber, earning over N7 billion from the platform.
His live-streamed prayer meetings have generated significant revenue, with daily earnings exceeding N7 million and a record N21 million on July 16, 2023.
His YouTube channel, with 2.1 million subscribers, has become a popular destination for those seeking prayer and spiritual guidance.
Netizens are praising Pastor Jerry Eze for his dedication and success, with some commenting that his authenticity and momentum have rattled other religious groups.
One supporter, Lauretta Egboh, believes that false stories are being spread about him due to his rapid rise and influence in the Pentecostal space.
Another supporter, Obidient Person, notes that some people are envious of Pastor Eze’s success, preferring that a comedian or skit maker earn money instead of a man of God, and prays for their hearts to be healed.

Pastor Jerry Eze has achieved numerous milestones in his ministry, including a 2022 event in London where 70,000 people gathered to worship with him at the Excel Arena.
Celebrities like Alex Ekubo, Tonto Dikeh, and Ini Edo have praised him for his dedication and impact, with Ini Edo calling him the “prophet of our time” and comparing him to the biblical Elijah.
However, not everyone is pleased with his influence, as Ghanaian Bishop Sam Owusu criticized Ghanaians for attending Pastor Eze’s crusade in their country, suggesting they should support their own local pastors instead of Nigerian ones.
Despite this, Pastor Eze’s ministry continues to thrive, with many people drawn to his message and leadership.
