interview.
People say that you are a flamboyant pastor, how would
you react to that?
It is because of where I am coming from.
In fact, your neck chain has been described as expensive,
just like those worn by Nollywood stars…
It is because they don't know where I am coming from. I am
here to make a statement, including the way I build my
buildings. Look at this facility, the one in Ikeja, you also need
to come to Royal City. The crown on the building alone costs
a lot. Even the school I build must spell class, the hospital and
so on, the cars I drive, the clothes I wear – they are all a
reflection of what God can do. I will never do anything
inferior for God. Who says that being flamboyant is satanic?
Satan has nothing. The Bible says, "I give you power to get
wealth." Even if I look expensive, it is more of what I give
out than what I wear or have. Between last year and now, I
have given out about 20 cars to those who needed them –
especially missionaries. Where I live, the people didn't have
electricity supply for four years. I had to intervene with transformer and accessories. I depict and reflect God. My
message is that God can lift anyone. I tell the whites that being a Nigerian doesn't mean one has to beg. In Florida, a
man of God wanted to know what needs we had in our church
and I said I would rather ask him that question and I gave him
$2,000. God's word says it is more blessed to give than to
receive. I finance all my churches abroad.
So, you have no apologies for being so flamboyant?
No, I don't.
