“Someone gave me a watch of $2 million. I have not even worn half of my watches. The one they show on social media is just small, I have many watches. If they see all my watches they’d just faint. I’m getting watches because I’m solving problem.”

Popular Nigerian preacher and founder of Salvation Ministries, Pastor David Ibiyeomie, has once again set social media and religious circles on fire after making a bold revelation about his luxury watch collection.

In a viral video currently making the rounds online, the outspoken pastor disclosed that he does not buy the expensive watches he is often seen wearing, stressing that many of them are gifts from people who appreciate the impact of his work.
According to Pastor Ibiyeomie, one of the watches in his possession is valued at $2 million (over ₦3 billion) — and shockingly, he claims he has not even worn half of the watches he owns.
“I don’t buy the watches I wear. Someone gave me a two million dollar watch. I haven’t even worn half of my watches. The ones you see on social media are just a small part of my collection,” he said.
The pastor went further to state that if people were to see the full extent of his watch collection, many would literally faint, emphasizing that what is shown online is only a fraction of his wealth.
“If they saw all of them, they would faint,” he added.
Addressing critics who often question how pastors acquire such luxury items, Pastor Ibiyeomie attributed his blessings to problem-solving and value creation, not personal greed or church funds.
“I’m getting watches because I’m solving problems,” he explained.
His statement has since sparked mixed reactions online, with supporters praising him as a man enjoying the rewards of his labor, while critics argue that such displays of wealth clash with the humility expected of religious leaders.
As the debate continues, one thing is clear: Pastor David Ibiyeomie knows how to command attention, and this latest revelation has once again placed him at the center of Nigeria’s ongoing conversation about wealth, faith, and prosperity preaching.

Why i no go theological school

Make i blow come dey drop lamba

You are getting watches because you are solving problem? Go and solve Nigeria's power crises.
No one earning legit income anywhere in the world will gift another man a 2 million dollar watch.

I don't believe he said this, must be Ai

Their time will come.

Fraudsters bragging to their victims. Lol.

And your source of income?

Well, he isn't an elected politican or indeed the elected president or even the ministar of power, nor does he own a power company

(He is also not exactly my flavour of the month, so to speak)

China is talking about development, while Nigerians clerics are talking about watches.

With all these pastors boldy hinting at being accessories to money laundering activities, why can't the EFCC beam its searchlight on them?

This "Touch not my anointed syndrome" has worsened corruption in Nigeria!

I don't blame him. Till now Many adults don't know that religion is a scam

No, they won't faint. It will merely confirm what they already know.

Who watches help?

More watches than fruits, abi?

What is the usefulness of both the watch and the fainting, concerning doing the work of God and how to get to the kingdom of God?

my problem now is that many church members paying tithe can't even renew rent and struggling to feed daily 😔😕

Religion and scam na brothers and sisters

Downgrade... once upon a time mega-pastors were collecting fleets of private jets. 🤭

I used to respect this man before until after 2023 election.

You get two billion naira watch you no sell am open more churches.


Dey play

And I drop my last #300 naira as offering and kingdom seed....I can't describe how I feel reading this 😞

I like his preaching, it's motivational

Omo, tithe money is very sweet, time to also try and open a church as a side hussle

Nonsense and ingredients............................................

Christ like living and teaching are taking new dimensions. Which problems are being solved by any Pastor? Only God solves problems. Why personalizing what God has done?

Vanity upon vanity, all is vanity.

As you get older, you realize a $300 watch and a $30 watch both tell the same time.

Flangelo12:
What problems are you solving?

Solving problems Ashiwuaju couldn't solve.

Chaii
I love this.

Anyone conversant with Isaiah 60 will understand this better.

Don't hate, pray for them. This people gets gifts worth millions.

Has he finished saving souls for God?

Has he finished preaching and praying for the sick?

No, but he has adequate time to brag.

He is nothing but a fake pastor!!! 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

Where is your house ? I want to check something

You are a vice Governor for a reason.

You should have drop 5m.

In what ways has his preaching motivated you?

Also, motivated you to do what exactly?

Become a fake pastor who only cares about money and materialistic things?

As Dem don swear say Dem nor go get sense
