The people or person that brought the car gift can do the same.

Pastor sir, if you truly care for the needy in Nigeria, sell your mansion in America(home to cockroaches & rodents) and give the proceeds to the needy.

ALL HE SHOULD HAVE DONE WAS, ASK THE PERSON WHO BOUGHT THE CAR TO RETURN IT, COLLECT HIS/HER MONEY THEN GIVE IT TO THE NEEDY.

THAT TO ME WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN BETTER.

You rejected the car because you want good governance.? How does rejecting the car make Nigeria better.? How does it help the poor, it would have made sense if you accept the gift,sell it and donate the money to an orphanage.

You rejected the gift but couldn't reject the position as Mr B running mate last election..

What is bad is bad. Asking him to collect n sell to give to d poor would have generated controversy. Jesus said go n sell n give to d poor n not to collect what you dont want/need n b d one to sell. What if d source is questionable?

There's really no pleasing you Nigerians is there?

We sound like people who would have criticize Jesus if he was alive today. If the man collects the car, na wahala. He rejects the car, na wahala. What do nigerians really want? I am beginning to DOUBT if we can spot the difference an act of corruption or morality even if it hits us in the face like a small ball.

For those who say how those this story affect nigerians.
No matter how small you think rejecting such a gift is, can we start commending people for little acts of ethics. Corruption wont go away in one day, like any other journey it starts with little steps.

Can we please stop trying to criticize people who are trying to stand out from the rot of this country and not put them down. Isn't it better than men of God that will collect, wipe their mouth clean and pretend they are feeling people's pain (we don't like that either). So what's the problem here? What's the crime or sin here? Do enlighten me because i'm in support of small acts of morality that can inspire people to make the right choices.

For those who say why didn't he sell it and give charity.
This is such a human problem as far back as Judas Iscariot and the woman in the alabastar box. As noble as the act is,I still don't see what he's done wrong by not collecting it at all. Its a choice, you can choose to do that when you are given such, its a choice. He probably knows those people well enough that when he starts collecting such from them, its another wahala. Let's be fair in our judgement, SUPPOSE God commends this act, then how fair are we?

We are so quick to celebrate Mandela, Ghandi, Mother therasa etc. Is this not how they started? .

I don't know this man neither have I ever followed him BUT in this generation where finding people of moral standards is extremely low, I'll rather we celebrate small WINS we have that show that there's still a bit of sanity out there and all is not lost. Merci

Bro as for me, he did the right thing cos just like anybody, i won't be happy if i give someone a gift only to learn he didn't use it at all buh instead sold it. I would care less the reason for which he sold it.

That is where you got it wrong. Accepting the gift is by extension, an endorsement of the crass worship of materialism that we see practised almost everywhere in the country these days, including so many churches.

Just like the first commenter @Johnnyessence rightly pointed out.
When Nigeria gets better , members of churches
will no longer think of such mundane thing as
presenting gifts of jets and exotic cars to their
pastors. Such an action is a reflection of a
decadent society worshipping on the altar of
materialism, wastage and misplaced priority
mistaken for prosperity! Many thanks Pastor!

Good pastor.


He is trying so hard to Convince us that he is still upright. if not, he would have reject the gift and kept it to himself without us letting us know that he rejects such a gift.

Had it been that it is the person that gave him the give is the one praising him for rejecting the gift, i would have clap harder but he is the one praising himself.

If he have the opportunity to become a president or vice, he will buy cars and more material things of life that are much more expensive things of life, then the well being of the poor will become secondary.

Continue deceiving yourself. Why was account of miracles performed by Jesus kept? Dude it was done so DAT followers can learn...

Your level of reasoning is extremely poor. Do we need to call God for you to know that the gift is not but a mere bribe to make him submissive,oblige or support their corrupt practices?

He should collect the car that was probably bought from the money meant to developed his society, sell and donate the money to orphanage? How does that help the society?

You even contradicts yourself. How would he help the society he belongs if he rejected VP slot?
