Private jets for Jesus.
Allegations of extravagant living among Nigeria's
Pentecostal preachers have deepened following
the gift of a private jet to the president
of the Christian Association of Nigeria.
The multi-million dollar jet—a 10-seater with
a range of 3,900 nautical miles—was presented
to Ayo Oritsejafor by members of his congregation,
Word of Life Bible Church in the oil-rich
Delta state city of Warri.
The gift celebrated the pastor's birthday
and his 40th anniversary in ministry.
Oritsejafor, who also serves as president
of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria,
joins a growing list of preachers with private
jets in the West African nation,
which is Africa's largest oil producer.

It's not like he can drive everywhere there. Now finding some place to land it might be a problem.

Re: Private jets for Jesus.
Seems to me that Nigerians could be doing something far better for themselves and for their country other than buying a jet for their leader.
I am sure the leader quoted Jesus as he received his offering, "The poor you have with you always..."
Shame on all those involved in this!
