Private jet is just one of the numerous luxury the richly rich acquire either for comfort, luxury or show of affluence. It is no news that the politicians and businessmen are the richest set of people in the country and as such, gather to themselves all things their wealth can buy – which private jet is one of them. What is however surprising is seeing “men of God” on the List of Pastors With Private Jets in Nigeria join the bandwagon of these politicians and businessmen to own private jets when their followers wallow in poverty.

As opposed to many of their predecessors, the pastors we have these days seem to have jettisoned the general mindset that those called to the vineyard should abandon all cravings for the so-called things of this world, and in fact, the wealth of a pastor is now seen as a sign of God’s goodness in his or her life.

Anyway …. Who am I to judge. Just check out the list of Nigerian Pastors owning a private jet.

  • OTHER PASTORS WITH AIRCRAFT TYPE UNKNOWN

Aside from the above Pastors with private jets in Nigeria, some other Pastors own private jets but for reasons, the model of the private jet is unknown to the public these includes; Bishop Mike Okonkwo of The Redeemed Evangelical Mission(TREM) and Pastor Chris Oyakilome of Christ Embassy.

PASTORS IN NIGERIA WHO OWN AIRCRAFTS OF UNKNOWN MODELS

The men of God listed above are not the only ones in Nigeria who own private jets in the country, either bought themselves or gifted to them by grateful members of their congregation or general well-wishers, but for some reason, we do not yet know the models of these aircraft. The pastors here include:

1.) Pastor Chris Oyakhilome: Pastor Chris as he is popularly called, is the founding president of Believers’ World Incorporated popularly known to many as Christ Embassy, with its headquarters in Lagos, Nigeria. Pastor Chris runs a prayer network online, an innovation which utilizes the power of social media to help in transmitting the church’s message to Christians in various countries in the world. He owns a private jet of an unknown model.

2.) Bishop Mike Okonkwo: He is a prominent figure in the Christian community and is also the founder of The Redeemed Evangelical Mission (TREM). He also owns a private jet, but as of yet, the model is still unknown.

So, there you have it. The pastors listed above all have a mission statement which they preach to their congregation as well as to any others who would like to listen. The Christian world is ever expanding and every other day, a new church fully equipped with a new pastor opens up, whether lured by the promises of riches or brought into the fold because of a call from God. Not all churches succeed like the ones above and not all men of God who preach the word end up with private jet money, however, going strictly by the teachings, is that really the point?

What do you think though? Are churches being run these days more as businesses rather than as beacons of truth and direction in an otherwise confusing world?

In my opinion, to a large extent, the answer to that is largely based on perspective.
