You know, for me, the first time I heard of the honorary degree, i was not impressed because a lot of people pay to get these degrees. But on a second thought, the schools Pastor Chris has agreed to received these honours from are schools he is somewhat affiliated to(Who knows how many he may have turned down). First AAU his alma mater and next BIU a school founded by his mentor. I think the one who started the thread did not give a detailed story. Pastor Chris explained the rationale behind his donation:

"Oyakhilomen who disclosed that his contribution to the university is borne out of his passion to contribute to the development of lives meaningfully and positively, noted that the Founder of BIU, the late Archbishop Idahosa, had positively influenced his life and ministry as a youth.
He said the television ministry of the late Archbishop Idahosa, popularly known as Idahosa World Outreach (IWO Television), was the first of its kind in the country which he noted helped to liberate lost souls and imparted Christians in the world to accept Christ globally.
“Archbishop Benson Idahosa was one of the most remarkable and inspiring personalities of the 20th Century. It is a fact of life that those who did not have the privilege to get to meet him, are blessed to meet him through many of us. The impact of the Archbishop on me as an individual is unquantifiable.
“Many times, people would ask me why I talk about the late Archbishop Benson Idahosa more than anybody. It will surprise you to know that as a young man, I was working with the Archbishop in the mail room in the Church of God Mission in Benin City. I was blessed to have worked with the late Archbishop Benson Idahosa. While working with him, I had the blessing and benefit of seeing the Archbishop pass by my table everyday to his office,” Source: http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2015/10/23/oyakhilome-splashes-n1bn-on-benson-idahosa-university/

You can see that this man has done an excellent and a note-worthy thing. If he kept the money and did not give, the money would still remain his. So let us applaud and celebrate something excellent; that way, who knows, you could become as big.
