Nigeria’s wealthiest pastor, Bishop David Oyedepo, has reportedly put two of his four private planes up for sale.

According to a report in the Nigerian media, the venerable clergyman has become overwhelmed with the colossal costs of managing four planes, and is said to have taken the decision to sell two of them. It is not yet known which planes he’s looking to sell.

Earlier this year the bishop announced his latest acquisition- a $35 million Gulfstream V Jet. He also announced plans for a private aircraft hangar. Before he acquired the Gulfstream V, the man of God owned a Challenger 604 and a Gulfstream IV.

Oyedepo has accumulated a vast fortune through his extensive real estate holdings, a publishing empire, and interests in universities and high schools. In June, I estimated his fortune was roughly $150 million.

I called Oyedepo’s church earlier this morning to confirm the story. The phone rang, but no one answered.

Nobody talked sense into him, he must have read news about the downturn in the world finance and know what time it is,  with the current state, it will take him 7 days fasting to sell 1 and another 7 days and 7 night fasting for the other one. Oh except there so many Soldier Boy celebrating their 21st birthday soonest.

They are not complaining, instead they are happy, cos their lives are changed for the better by his preaching of faith. So dont be worried bro

Jesus rode on an Arss. Pastor is buying 4 private jets. Are his followers blind or possessed?

Gulfstream Jets? That's what Jay Z brags about all the time.

If dangote should be acquiring and selling properties like this, i bet you would see little or no criticism directed at him because we all know how he makes his money even though some of his ways are a bit crooked. What is oyedepo's legitimate source of income?

onye oshi, thief and barawo. Heard he's a ma cousin bro

People just wake up and post rubbish in Nairaland. Where are the facts of this story for one to believe. Today its Bishop Oyedepo is so rich that he is competing with Dangote, tomorrow its Bishop Oyedepo is so poor that he is selling of his jets. Why cant people sit down and do investigative journalism before sending stories to the press or to Nairaland. It seems we have nothing better to do or to discuss than trying to talk about Bishop Oyedepo, and even when there is nothing to talk about people invent a topic on him just for the sake of discussion and to keep d ball rolling. mshwwwwww!!!
