Nigeria’s Five Richest Pastors Revealed!


Bishop David Oyedepo

Church: Living Faith World Outreach Ministry, a.k.a. Winners Chapel
Estimated net worth: $150 million
David Oyedepo is Nigeria’s wealthiest preacher. Ever since he founded the Living Faith World Outreach Ministry in 1981, it has grown to become one of Africa’s largest congregations.
The Faith Tabernacle, where he hosts three services every Sunday, is Africa’s largest worship centre, with a seating capacity of 50,000.
Oyedepo owns four private jets and homes in London and the United States. He also owns Dominion Publishing House, a thriving publishing company that publishes all his books (which are often centered on prosperity).
He founded and owns the Covenant University, one of Nigeria’s leading tertiary institutions, and Faith Academy, an elite high school.

Chris Oyakhilome

Church: Believers’ Loveworld Ministries, a.k.a. Christ Embassy
Estimated net worth: $30 million-$50 million
His church, Christ Embassy, boasts more than 40,000 members, several of whom are successful business executives and politicians.
Oyakhilome’s diversified interests include newspapers, magazines, a local television station, a record label, satellite TV, hotels and extensive real estate.
His Loveworld TV Network is the first Christian network to broadcast from Africa to the rest of the world on a 24-hour basis.

Temitope Joshua

Church: Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN)
Estimated net worth: $10 million-$15 million
Nigeria’s most controversial clergyman is also one of its richest and most philanthropic.
T.B Joshua heads the Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN), a congregation he founded in 1987, which accommodates over 15,000 worshippers on Sundays.
The Pastor has remained controversial for several years for his inexplicable powers to heal all sorts of incurable diseases, including HIV/AIDS, cancer and paralysis. For miracle-craving worshippers, it’s the perfect seduction.
The church currently has branches in Ghana, the United Kingdom, South Africa, and Greece.
In the past three years, he has given over $20 million to causes in education, healthcare and rehabilitation programs for former Niger Delta militants.
He owns Emmanuel TV, a Christian television network, and is close friends with Ghanaian President, Atta Mills.

Matthew Ashimolowo

Church: Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC)
Estimated net worth: $6 million-$10 million
In 1992, Foursquare Gospel Church, a Nigerian church, sent Ashimolowo to open a satellite branch in London. But Pastor Matthew had other ideas and decided to set up his own church instead.
Today, his Kingsway International Christian Centre is reportedly the largest Pentecostal church in the United Kingdom.
In 2009, the church posted profits of close to $10 million and assets worth $40 million.
Ashimolowo earns an annual salary of $200,000, but his real wealth comes from varied business interests, including his media company, Matthew Ashimolowo Media, which churns out Christian literature and documentaries.

Chris Okotie

Church: Household of God Church
Estimated net worth: $3 million-$10 million
Pastor Okotie made his first success as a popular pop musician in the 80s. He found the light, embraced the Bible and set up the Household of God Church, one of Nigeria’s most flamboyant congregations.
His 5,000-member church consists predominantly of Nollywood celebrities, musicians, and society people.
He contested and lost Nigerian presidential elections for the third time this year under the Fresh Party, a political party he founded and funds.
An automobile lover, he owns a Mercedes S600, Hummer and Porsche, among several others.

CALVARY GROUP BAND, BAND INAYOFANYA VIZURI AFRIKA MASHARIKI

Hawa si wengine, bali ni Calvary Group Band, kikundi chenye makao yake jijini Dar es salaam. Chini ya ulezi wa Askofu Moma wa kanisa la Calvary Tebernacle, band hii imekuwa ikifanya vizuri na kuwa kivutio kikubwa katika nchi kadhaa za Afrika. Siri kubwa ya waimbaji hawa kufanya vizuri ni kwa sababu pamoja na maombi, kusoma neno pia wamevunja mipaka ya ukabila, kwani ni kundi pekee lenye mchanganyiko wa watu kutoka nchi mbalimbali kama  DRC kongo Tanzania  n.k

Tutaendelea kukujuza zaidi kuhusu Kalvary G Band.
