Synagogue Pastor TB Joshua Secretly Purchases $60 Million Gulfstream G550 Private Jet
- Sahara Reporters

.Pastor Temitope Joshua, the leader of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), has joined Nigeria’s big league of miracle and prosperity priests who own private jets, SaharaReporters has learned authoritatively.

Widely-known as TB Joshua, the church leader took possession of the nearly brand-new Gulfstream G550 aircraft in April 2015, a few months after a building collapse at the premises of his megachurch in the Ikotun-Egbe suburb of Lagos killed 116 people. Registered as “Synagogue Of Nations,” the jet was purchased using the Bank Of Utah trustee as the front for purchasing the jet.
Pastor TB Joshua’s jet is the most expensive of the four owned by Nigerian pastors. Pastor David Oyedepo (Bombardier Challenger 604), Pastor Enoch Adeboye (Gulfstream GIV), and Ayo Oritsejafor (Bombardier Challenger 601) are also jet owners. It would be recalled that Pastor Ortsejafor’s jet was cited in South Africa for money-laundering money last year. The new Nigerian government is said to be investigating the circumstances of that case, which involved federal funds.

Pastor TB Joshua’s jet has already started making the rounds. In June, it left the Murtala Muhammad International Airport in Lagos on a whirlwind of South America, departing north from there to Kentucky in the United States.

The jet, which has US registration number N131LK, was built in 2010. It was delivered to its first user in 2013 before making it to TB Joshua early this year. SaharaReporters learned that the jet made a voyage to Nigeria in December 2013, as the Bank of Utah was apparently pitching it to Pastor TB Joshua. The man of God reportedly asked to see it and bless it before finally taking delivery.

It could cost up to $3 million to maintain the jet annually, depending on how heavily it is used.
Sources at the church told our correspondents that Pastor Joshua claims the jet was paid for by at least eight African Heads of State in 2014. It was first kept in Israel before the tragic church collapse in September in which 116 persons, mostly South Africans, were killed.

When SaharaReporters reached Pastor Joshua, he denied owning a private jet. Instead, he said he frequently charters private jets because he travels extensively, noting, for instance, that he has an oncoming trip to Argentina.

His claim runs contrary to information from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), which claimed that N131LK is on record as belonging to Pastor TB Joshua through SCOAN.

"What the Bank of Utah does is to help non-US citizens act as agents to purchase aircraft using US financing,” a source at NCAA told SaharaReporters.
The source recalled that the same bank was also instrumental to purchasing jets from Bombardier on behalf of the government of Rivers State under Governor Rotimi Amaechi, and Akwa Ibom under Godswill Akpabio.

Jezzzz... And some moronic dumbasses like MizMy_Coli might still come here to justify his action.

Though a philanthropist and must be commended, $60million if donated would have helped to ameliorate the suffering of many people living in "poorverty".

If Jesus were to live now, would he buy a jet while many still suffer?.

Yes o my brother. SexyJesus took 9inch nails so your sexyPastors will fly Private jets.

I need my own share of this booming business enterprise, Pastorprenuering! There is always an unending pool of gullible people to tap from. This sort of business proof all theories of economics wrong! In fact the poorer the mass the richer the pastors.

God is good, especially if you’re a Nigerian pastor with some business savvy!

Don't bother. Poor people that contribute their little to their ManOfGod's big will come here to say Jesus said there will always be poor people amongst us.

To them sexyJesus says in Matthew 13:12
Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.

Don't worry.Seeee,,, their mumu is spiritual.

At least, T.B. Joshua still gives foodstuffs and little financial assistance to some poor members of his church. Some other pastors milk their poor members dry without mercy. All in all, Nigerian Christians should wise up, most of the pastors they run to are just smartly scamming them of their money. They tell you your reward is in heaven while they keep acquiring private jets on earth.

congrats

hAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH

SEe the h0rny, unintelligent oaf preaching to me about life. if the life you have is a gift from any Supreme being, I'd rather be dead. What is to be grateful for the act of breathing. Even mosquitoes and ants breath. Go get a life and stop infesting this platform with your irrational, myopic statements. Get a life, get exposure. Nairaland likes won't improve the quality of your life, ask your mentor barcanista.


EDIT: OBLIGATORY GERRARAHEEREE

I'm highly dissappointed.

Na by force?after all the other pastors did not deny having a jet, this man said 'twas a chattered jet. Na lie una like, if he said he bought it, next week you will say "breaking new" TB Joshua is a liar, he hired a jet but claimed he bought it.

Please don't disturb Pastor Jaguda, for that will imply you do not respect the mass hypnotist for what he is - a snake-oil-salesman to beat them all.

It takes real cunning and creativity to persuade millions of punters to part with their monthly paychecks, all in exchange for bogus prayers and worthless anointing bullchit, and it takes a consummate master criminal to get away clean after erecting a rickety multi-storey building that killed scores of lemmings when it imploded like a house of cards, all the while mass marketing re-labelled regular drinking water as "Holy Water" costing a thousand fold the true value of the bottle's contents.

Since Nigeria is a nation where evil people are worshiped, PROVIDED THAT they are filthy rich, I hereby propose that Pastor Jaguda be elevated to the status of a Nigerian Demi-God and Patron Saint of Thieves, to be idolized and revered by the cowering gullible masses who are so easily coaxed into starving in the here and now, so as to prosper in the imaginary hereafter, while the silver-tongued devil of a pastor snickers his way to the bank to stash the cumulative pay of his cult followers.


Phuck you Pastor Jaguda. You will never get a dime of my money, not even if you preach and bellow like a stuck pig until hell freezes over.

This is the reason why there is mushroom churches every nooks and cranny you go.

Una go da do fake miracle to deceive people come da buy the heaven for Earth. The other one said is richer than bill gate. There is God oooooooooooooo

TB Joshua has every right to own a private jet if he can afford it. After all he's a private citizen. You money lost ne?

T B Joshua can buy what ever he wants to buy,it's still don't stop him from helping people who are in need all over the world

At last T.B Joshua achieved his aim joining the league of MOG with private jet & taking evangelism to another level at the expense of the gullibles.

LIKE if you think Jesus deserves more than this.
