I don't understand why people think that preachers of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the creator,owner, and sustainer of all things should not have good things, especially, those things that makes their tasks easier for them to carry out. If it were one of these our fraudulent politicians that bought the private jet,people who are as confused and deluded and misdirected in life as Tunde Bakare would be clapping their cursed hands in applause. Their blinded eyes will not see anything wrong with it. God bless our PAPA, our father, mentor and leader. The BEST we have ever got.If God puts the means in my hands, I will buy more jets for our Papa.
Soon, acquisition of private jets won't be a big deal anymore, because, I will soon get some for my ministry as well. So, Papa Ayo, CONGRATULATIONS oooo.
Its really interesting that some people would go all out condemning the purchase of an airplane aimed at reducing the sufferings of an aging preacher, most Nigerian travellers especially the frequent travellers understand the gruesome treatment Nigerians are subjected to on most popular airliners coupled with the time wasted during connecting flights which are pretty obvious to our corrupt officials who are busy with other issues rather than dealing with such dehumanizing treatment. It is equally not a hidden information that a lot of these preachers can not afford the purchase of an airplane let alone flight tickets, some congregation members sponsor these trips. While I would equally agree that there is a few in fact very "few" that can afford the price of these planes and they find it difficult to so do because of the misguided whistle blowers within the flock. It is not a luxury otherwise Oritsejafor would not need it, his church is in Warri but for the demand necessitated by the preaching ministry he's committed, it's become a necessity hence, I congratulate the wisdom of the committee and ask all whistle blowers to quit the exercise, its one in futility.
Praise the Lord oooooooooooooooo !!!
