PASTOR Korede Komaiya has disclosed how he and three others honoured Bishop David Oyedepo on his 70th birthday.
According to him, Bishop Oyedepo requested that instead of celebrating with lavish gifts, the funds be donated to 70 widows, poor people, and those in need.
However, Pastor Komaiya and three others decided to surprise the bishop with a luxury Rolls Royce.
The car, which was purchased for a whopping N1.5 billion, was a joint gift from the four individuals, with Pastor Komaiya contributing N250 million.
The surprise gift left Bishop Oyedepo visibly shocked, and the Bishop reportedly disclosed that in his 70 years, no one had ever given him a Rolls Royce.
He said: “My dad’s 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 that in 70 years, this (Rolls Royce) is the only thing nobody has given him.” [culled from THE NATION except headline plus little edits]
