Pastor Jerry Eze Tops Nigerian YouTube Earnings for Second Year Running
Pastor Jerry Eze, the charismatic founder of Streams of Joy International and convener of the globally followed New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations (NSPPD), has been ranked as Nigeria’s highest-earning YouTuber for the second consecutive year, according to data from Playboard, a leading international YouTube analytics platform.
The report reveals that Eze has not only maintained his dominance on the platform but has significantly widened the gap in terms of live-stream viewership and revenue generation. With an average of 282,451 live viewers per stream, his channel commands the largest real-time audience in Nigeria, far outpacing secular entertainment, lifestyle, and music creators in the country.
Eze’s YouTube channel, tied directly to his ministry, has grown to 2.87 million subscribers and boasts over 2,900 uploaded videos, most of which feature his energetic style of leading prayers, sharing prophetic declarations, and engaging global audiences seeking spiritual upliftment.
NSPPD: A Global Online Revival Movement
Central to this meteoric rise is Eze’s NSPPD initiative, a daily live prayer session that has evolved into what observers call “a digital revival movement.” The program’s tagline, “What God Cannot Do Does Not Exist,” has become a rallying cry for millions of viewers tuning in from across Africa, Europe, North America, and the Middle East.
In 2025 alone, NSPPD streams have attracted over 80 million viewers, a testament to the channel’s growing international footprint and the pastor’s influence in shaping faith-based digital engagement.
The Numbers Behind the Success
Playboard estimates place Pastor Eze’s YouTube earnings at ₦1.94 million daily, ₦7.95 million in the last 24 hours, and a staggering ₦47.7 million over the past week. Cumulatively, his channel has grossed ₦10.71 billion, marking a sharp revenue jump compared to 2024 figures.
Such numbers not only highlight the financial potential of religious digital content but also reflect the monetization power of consistent, high-volume live streaming—an area where Eze has set the gold standard.
Faith-Based Channels Dominate Top 5
Interestingly, the Playboard ranking shows that the top five YouTube earners in Nigeria are all faith-based platforms. Following Eze are:
- Paul S. Joshua of The Refiner’s House Ministries
- Dunamis TV, led by Pastor Paul Enenche of Dunamis International Gospel Centre
- Celebration TV, founded by Apostle Johnson Suleman of Omega Fire Ministries
- Rev. Sam Oye of The Transforming Church
This faith-driven dominance signals a shift in Nigeria’s digital landscape, where religious content now commands larger audiences and generates more revenue than entertainment and political commentary combined.
Other High-Earning Channels
Beyond the top five, other notable earners include Table of Babylon, UKFamilyShow, Eno Jerry, Catholic Reflection Family, Johnson Suleman, Harvesters TV, Free Indeed TV Ministry, Berekete Family, and Fada Ebube Muonso. These platforms, though smaller in scale compared to Eze’s operation, reflect a broader trend of religious and family-friendly content finding lucrative success on YouTube.
A New Era of Digital Evangelism
Media analysts believe Pastor Jerry Eze’s success marks a turning point for faith-based digital content in Africa. What began as a necessity during the COVID-19 lockdowns—when churches embraced streaming technology—has now evolved into a full-fledged online ministry movement generating billions in revenue and attracting millions of global viewers.
“Pastor Jerry Eze represents the fusion of spirituality and technology,” says a Lagos-based media consultant. “He’s not just a preacher; he’s a digital pioneer redefining how faith is consumed in the 21st century.”
