The flock of Pastors owning private jets has welcomed another ‘Man of God’ to their league – it is non-other than the current Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) president Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor..
The pastor’s new jet was made known to the congregation of his Word of Life Bible Church, Warri, Delta state while celebrating his 40th year anniversary on the pulpit.
President Goodluck Jonathan who was a special guest of honour at the occasion, described Oritsejafor as a ‘national Christian, visionary leader and a great man of faith’.
The new jet marked N431CB is a bombardier Challenger 601 heavy jet and is reported to be worth about $3.5 million.
It was reportedly bought by some of the church congregation.
According to reports, the jet can support a crew of 2 and can carry up to 9-10 passengers. It is equipped with a full functional lavatory and a spacious cabin conducive to conduct meetings.
Meanwhile, the pastor’s wife Mrs Ayo Oritsejafor, who will be joining her hubby on occasional flights, has also been spotted many a time driving in a limousine (as pictured below).

Rubbish. I’m so peeved at this.
What a scam!!! For goodness sake, what does he and his likes want a private jets for? Not in the midst of the severe poverty in Nigeria and his flock. I don’t blame him but his followers for their ignorance and gullibility. Its their money. Someone called it a gift…lol What a laugh! Gift from 10% tithes and offerings? They will always remain poorer and go away empty-handed; while the so-called richer. God is not mocked. Not only birthday. What is he gonna get for his next birthday?…. ha ha ha!!!
It’s about time, the Churches in Nigeria should, come together and commence building of Major Roads and fallen infrastructures in Nigeria – directly. A case study are the East West Road, Port Harcourt Enugu etc. Particularly, examples are all the Churches with “Private Jets” (PJ) in Nigeria, (less the state Governors, Private Individuals, less stolen Nigerian funds reclaimed from past and present “leaders”), with Associated ownership, parking, license and maintenance costs, can afford building roads and fallen Infrastructures in Nigeria, thereby reducing accidents/traffic in our roads – especially the forthcoming yuletide season. “So help us God”. Martin Luther King (Jnr.) – used the Church to lead a movement that changed the entire face of America today. That singular move, is shown forth in the success of President Barack Hussein Obama II in the just concluded American Election. Who says it cannot work in Nigeria!
