In Nigeria, some of the people occupying the wealthy spot in Nigeria are Nigerian pastors. Many Nigerian pastors have acquired so much wealth, and the easiest way of knowing this is not only through their houses or fat bank balances. It’s their cars.
There has been a lot of controversy surrounding wealthy Nigerian pastors and how they acquired their wealth. There’s also been controversy on whether or not it’s right for a pastor to own flashy cars. While all these conversations are still ongoing, we have compiled a list of top Nigerian pastors and the Rolls Royce they own.
7 Nigerian Pastors With Their Rolls Royces Cars
One time, the popular Lagos pastor, Ituah Ighodalo made a statement saying, “I don’t see any reason why a pastor will be riding Rolls Royce.” The argument has been that Rolls Royce cars are cars that announce wealth and class. And, for pastors whose primary purpose is to spread the gospel, owning such cars isn’t a good indication of their ‘godly’ nature.
While this is still an ongoing debate, below are some of the pastors in Nigeria who have their own Rolls Royce cars sitting pretty in their garages.
- Biodun Fatoyinbo
The popular televangelist, Mike Murdock, gifted the Senior Pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) a Rolls Royce and $1 million. This all took place on the 15th of January, 2014, when Murdock announced the gift to pastor Biodun at the COZA headquarters.
