A lot of people talk very ignorantly, and sin without knowing it.

The works these General Overseers do are quite enormous. They have appointments, speaking engagements, meetings and other occasional urgencies in several nations each week. Sometimes, two appointments in two different nations in one day. They fly to Germany in the morning for a meeting and by evening are in the United Kingdom for a preaching engagement while also needing to rush back home same night to prepare for an important service on the morrow.

They're not getting jets for luxury but to enable them accomplish more, enjoy easier navigations around the world and prolong their lives in spite of their heavy schedules.



I absolutely agree with GO having private jets oo but not when they start having fleet of it boss, wetin u wan Dey use 3 private jet do as GO?? I believe all GOs should have two max, most of them have as much as 6 which raises eyebrows

I think you reason out of ignorance and gullibility of a sick society. Maybe the GOs of Nigerian churches are busier than the US president and have far more true gospel than Apostle Paul. Think deeply before you portray your thoughts in the public domain. These men are not true men of God but act as if they working for God while working for their bellies. The Muslim population is almost that of the Christians but please how many Imams own a private jet and display before own faces?

What happened to grooming and succession planning? It can only be done by him and suddenly zoom and other apps stopped working and being deployed for these engagements.

Two major temptations our top spiritual leaders face:

1. Sexual attraction with certain members of the congregation.

2. PRIDE

While it's not a sin and advantageous to own PJ as a means of transportation in propagating the gospel, it can lead to an unnecessarily inflated ego!


I disagree! Every man born of woman faces these challenges, it is just the degree that makes the difference.
The justification for PJ from this angle is not substantial bro

Justifications like this is just irritating.

Those nations where you have branches, don't they have other indigenous churches there?
Why spread your wings so far and start unnecessary justification when there are other churches that exist in those places?
Of course, every other church is inferior. Or is it a case of the church having a need to expand it's "business" for profit purposes?

I really don't care if any pastor owns 50 jets, your business. My problem is trying to justify it. You won't need a reason to justify it if you thought for a second that you were doing the right thing.

What a stupid talk. Is Adeboye overseeing more places than the Pope? Did Jesus not have disciples to handle areas where he would not be able to cover? Why does Adeboye have to travel everytime when he already has designated pastors in those areas? What is wrong with boarding commercial airlines?

So many telecoms gadgets have helped to bridge the gap where we need to travel. There are phone calls to make and zoom meetings to set up. You don’t have to waste church payers money. Adeboye is no different from the Nigerian govt. who waste tax payers/church payers money on frivolous trips

Busy doing what exactly?

Things that don't impact humanity. It's funny how you people exallt these men for manipulating gullible people.

People on other continents are busy working on innovations that'd better human lives, in Africa some men are venerated for dishing out false hope and extorting money from their victims.

Speaking on the issue of pastors owing private jets; Olu Johnson said that it was of necessity for some pastors to own such, as it was not to showoff but rather to propagate the gospel of the kingdom.

“Sincerely, I do not blame pastors that have private jet in our time and season. Pastor Adeboye is busier than the president of Nigeria – the president of Nigeria oversees only this nation, I don’t know if we can know how many nations Pastor Adeboye is overseeing from Redemption Camp.

“The man is overseeing 197 nations: I have missed some of our very important meetings where I am the host for flight schedules; if I had the means, maybe I would have hired a flight and wouldn’t have missed those programmes. Some institutions and individuals in this nation have their private jets; if the work of a pastor has become enormous like the work of Pastor Adeboye or Oyedepo, I sincerely subscribe that if they can afford it or the church can afford it; it is necessary.” – Rev. Olu Johnson



First of all, why should a church have just one overseer? There is only one General Overseer, and that is Jesus Christ.


Second, how many travels does Adeboye do in a month that warrants wasting money on a private jet?



He said Adeboye is busier than the president. Where did he get that nonsense from?



The pastor talking is already dreaming of purchasing his own private jet. He would pressurize his sheep into buying one from him, even it means they have to give him their full six months' salaries.



May God judge all these thieves!

lets say Jesus Christ from Nigeria, the poverty capital of the world will comfortably have a private jet while more than half the population can barely feed ?...

You know Jesus will rather trekk barefoot than a single Nigerian go hungry

But Adeboye is not Jesus Christ

Sorry to mention you

Our lord Jesus Christ did travel to places to preach

On boats because at that time, boats were the only means to travel across the world.

Now we have aeroplane

You and I know that flight can be canceled or delayed and stop over dey too etc...

If the members have the means to buy it,I see no reason for you that is not a member neither contributed 5kobo to complain...

If we talk about building schools that the members can't attend due to high fees

If a church with standards build a school, are they to employ average teachers or lecturers to teach, getting a qualified teacher to teach requires huge expenses, school itself needs finance to keep running,church itself needs finance to keep running because equipment for church go need replacing if damaged,chairs,speakers etc, light bills and fuel ... if they subsidize the school fees etc for only their members, how are they to know the members, will they be able to cater it for life abi na some members and leave the rest kind of treatment... meanwhile, most of this churches have primary and secondary schools which are being subsidized and y'all don't care to know that one because e no dey news

One thingni know about the internet is that it gives you what you need to hear to generate views,comments and likes because in this present part of the world, bad news sell faster, you need to use your own hands to promote the good things you do else none will notice it but if you do 1million good things and mistakenly do one bad thing, expect the bad to cover the good you did

Peace be unto you brother

You are free to mention me.

And He never owned a boat. Plus He did not travel around the world only around Isreal. For as one man brought sin and death and one man took it away, even one community can change the world.

And that is the Power of One and God's pattern is to use One, not many

It is devils who use many and need many to accomplish a thing which is why atheists, jws, muslims need to be many to accomplish a thing.

On schools and church running, it does not count.

Why, no one forced them to create one.

If God sent them to do the, He would surely provide and sustain it by Himself even without them disturbing anyone. Exactly as if i invite you to my house i am responsible for your good welfare. I cannot be asking you for money for fuel.and generator because nepa.took light or that the chairs you and your children whon i invited got damaged or that one of your child damaged my speakers in their play.

No! I invited you to do you good so i must bear the cost of my invitation.

It is only right if you unsolicitedly makes a donation which is even bound to be rejected because that donation must be right also.

And under this, we all know first hand that people do not make bogus and inflated donations. And where they do, we all know that they want something that you cannot give or should not give if indeed we are God's messengers exactly how Elisha rejected Naaman's gift and Peter rejected Simon the sourcerers payment.

And that is why i have to say didpleasing you that Oyedepo and co are babalawos and todays Simon the sourcerer. They are not of God!

For Moses and the prophets did it, who gave them gifts?

The Lord, Himself did it and His disciples too, who gave them plenty gifts?

So if indeed they were God sent, the whole world would come to them which is of course convenient and restfull rather than they fly gloriously all over the world, living abundantly whereas, their suppises sheep are hungry, sick, homeless and jobless.

Neither Christ nor the disciples did this but of course thieves carrying bibles would not like to see their plans condemned.

Well...you may be right to say Adeboye's engagements are enormous.

However, owning a private jet is not really the issue here. The issue here is what happens to that private jet when it is not flying?

The norm is that the best place to keep a jet is in the air. It costs more to keep a jet on the ground than it does to keep it in the air.

So when Pastor is not flying, the church is incurring more cost.

And that is where the issue is.

For a supposedly God-ordained mission, wastage is a crucial element that needs to be curtailed with extreme prejudice.

When Jesus fed the multitude, even though he was able to provide an abundance, he still had his disciples gather the remnants "so that nothing was wasted"

Pastors should take a cue from the advice that Jethro gave to Moses to appoint trusted men to take care of other necessary things.

Adeboye will not be around forever. One day he will leave the so-called ministry for his "compulsory service"

Will he still be flying to 197 countries in his grave?

That is how establishments die. When the overseers fail to create structures of continuity and instead choose to micro manage things.

Have they visited Borno where Shekau live for years. See any visit outside Nigeria is a business trip with very high ROI. Are you aware that in every Redeem church all tithes and offering must be remitted back to the redemption camp. When parishes now need money or want to pay rent, they get 20% from the center after filling multiple form and letters to justify the need. The remaining 80% are paid by members. Have you asked your self where pastors are making their first son as the next G.O in line to succeed them. They are not waiting for God to choose but instead they are chosen themselves.

Paying tithe is me trying to obey God!

But is tithe supposed to be used for buying private planes and luxury cars when the people they collect from are hungry, homeless and jobless? No.

If God commanded provision to be made for the poor, who do you think had the duty to provide for the poor?

Answer; The Levites and the priests where tithe and offering is paid.
