Much of this comes from YouTube’s Super Chat feature, where followers pay to highlight messages during live prayers. In 2025 alone, his channel has drawn 80 million views.
Eze, 43, a graduate of Abia State University and former World Bank communications specialist, began his YouTube ministry in 2019. Since then, his broadcasts have grown into a global digital congregation, with testimonies ranging from healings to restored sight and mobility.
Playboard’s latest ranking also revealed that other top-earning Nigerian YouTube channels are faith-based. They include Paul S. Joshua’s “The Refiner’s House Ministries,” Dunamis TV, Celebration TV of Apostle Johnson Suleman’s Omega Fire Ministries, and Rev. Sam Oye’s channel.
Collectively, these ministries have recorded steady growth in both viewership and revenue, reflecting the rising influence of digital worship across the country.
