It’s worrisome that out of the 10 richest pastors in the world, five of them are from Nigeria — Rev. Omolehin Raises Concern
Popular Kwara state clergy man, Reverend Isaac Omolehin has expressed deep concern about the state of the Nigerian church.
Addressing pastors during a meeting, he pointed to a recent report by the World Council of Churches that highlights a troubling disparity between the personal wealth of pastors and the financial standing of their congregations.
“Is it not scary that the World Council of Churches released papers about the state of the Nigerian church — that out of the 10 richest pastors in the world, five of them are Nigerians, but out of the 10 richest churches in the world, there’s no Nigerian church?” Rev. Omoleyin said in his message to pastors. “It’s worrisome, it calls for concern.”
Drawing a contrast with global church leadership, he added: “The Roman Catholic Church is the richest church in the world, the pope has no private jet.”
The clergyman’s remarks come amid ongoing debates about accountability, transparency, and the role of wealth in ministry across Nigeria’s religious landscape.
