I contributed N250m out of Bishop Oyedepo’s N1.5bn Rolls Royce gift – Korede Komaiya

The Presiding Pastor of The Master’s Place International Church, Pastor Korede Komaiya has disclosed how he and three other pastors contributed N1.5bn to buy Bishop David Oyedepo a Rolls Royce on his 70th birthday.

Komaiya disclosed that although Oyedepo had requested that funds for his birthday gift be donated to widows and poor people, he and and three others went ahead to surprise the bishop with a luxurious Rolls Royce.

He added that out of the N1.5bn for the vehicle, he alone contributed N250million which he considered the smallest amount contributed.

He said: “My dad 70th birthday was coming and we said okay, we need to honour him. And he said nobody should do anything for him, we should give it to 70 widows, poor people, people in need. So we looked at it and four of us came together and said we’ll buy a Rolls Royce.

“He will never use his money to buy a Rolls Royce, so this small boy in front of you was privileged to drop N250m.

“We are not just talking. We bought that car for N1.5bn. I was the one that gave the smallest.

“It was N250m to honour my father. And we took the car to him, making up our minds not to put it on social media.

“So we took it to him and he was shocked. He said in 70 years, this (Rolls Royce) is the only thing nobody has given him.”
