Inside this story Pastor TB Joshua shut down the allegations of him owning the aircraft.
Pastor Temitope Joshua, the leader of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), has repotedly joined Nigeria’s big league of miracle and prosperity priests who own private jets.
SaharaReporters reports that,the church leader took possession of the nearly brand-new Gulfstream G550 aircraft in April 2015, a few months after a building collapse at the premises of his megachurch in the Ikotun-Egbe suburb of Lagos killed 116 people. Registered as “Synagogue Of Nations,” the jet was purchased using the Bank Of Utah trustee as the front for purchasing the jet.
Pastor TB Joshua’s jet is the most expensive of the four owned by Nigerian pastors.
The jet, which has US registration number N131LK, was built in 2010. It was delivered to its first user in 2013 before making it to TB Joshua early this year. SaharaReporters learned that the jet made a voyage to Nigeria in December 2013, as the Bank of Utah was apparently pitching it to Pastor TB Joshua. The man of God reportedly asked to see it and bless it before finally taking delivery.
It could cost up to $3 million to maintain the jet annually, depending on how heavily it is used.
Sources at the church told SR that Pastor Joshua claims the jet was paid for by at least eight African Heads of State in 2014. It was first kept in Israel before the tragic church collapse in September in which 116 persons, mostly South Africans, were killed.
When SaharaReporters reached Pastor Joshua, he denied owning a private jet. Instead, he said he frequently charters private jets because he travels extensively, noting, for instance, that he has an oncoming trip to Argentina.
His claim runs contrary to information from the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), which claimed that N131LK is on record as belonging to Pastor TB Joshua through SCOAN.
"What the Bank of Utah does is to help non-US citizens act as agents to purchase aircraft using US financing,” a source at NCAA told SaharaReporters. The source recalled that the same bank was also instrumental to purchasing jets from Bombardier on behalf of the government of Rivers State under Governor Rotimi Amaechi, and Akwa Ibom under Godswill Akpabio.
Congrat
ReplyDeleteI hope they have started paying tax?
Deletewow! Lipsealed.! No be my mouth una go hear say teacher mama die.
DeleteOk oh congratulation sir. God bless your hustle
DeleteHe has money and no doubt about it. He is financially capable. The only ironing is that, the money was contributed by those guys on the street hustling to earn 30k per month.
DeleteSo many congregation members are also poor. Thats how it is in all of them. Both pastors and alfa.
Buhari should be able to look into our religious houses in relation to financial scandal anytime soon.
See: Reasons why money making is not your purpose in life
CHURCH BUSINESS IS A VERY LUCRATIVE BUSINESS. OH MY!
DeleteWhich one is God bless your hustle again ? That cracked me up, Hahaha, you guys are cray mehn. Eesah, lucrative is an understatement and putting it mildly.If this is true, all I can say is God dey.
DeleteWhirlwind
Saheed,No member of SCOAN is poor...
DeleteAll the money the church is generating goes to the poor people among us...
TB Joshua is not materialistic...he is so humble...
He dosent live in a mansion...
He dosent drive Phantom...
He dosent wear designers clothing...
His children engage in church activities like cleaning etc...
U are so right, thats d only job dat pays well in Nigeria
DeleteNa sooo!
DeleteI personally do not have anything against Pastors who feel they need a PJ. To be honest it's not easy to travel the globe as they frequently do. It'll save them the hassles of commercial flights.. and it'll consolidate their air travel expense to the barest minimum.
DeleteThis is me being financially pragmatic. Secondary is how they got the monies to acquire it. It could have been given to them by someone or a person in government. Or their congregation may decide that their pastor deserves the luxury whilst he goes around for ministrations. Truthfully, try to go to 3 different countries in a week or two, jumping from one commercial flight to the other, it's indeed stressful. So I quite understand.
But many Nigerians aren't having non of that. They believe that most of these pastors looted church funds to afford their PJ. Well, I can't blame them, because of the fakes amongst them who have continued to make a mockery of the ministry.
However, not unless their respective church board of financial trustees complain that their pastor has misappropriated their funds, then I guess it's a unanimous decision that their leader acquires a private jet for a more convenient air travel.
Na wa o

DeleteDon't mind her mummy Sinachi...
DeleteDo you know how many material things he reject from people?...
He will tell you to give it to that poor person around you...
@mummy sinach: how many private jets did Jesus use in the bible? Even the donkey He used in his triumphant entry into Jerusalem was borrowed. We know he is ur pastor so u r bound to defend him.
DeleteI'm sure the disciples used ppl's money for God's work. I'm sure they collected money from the poor to buy their means of transportation for God's work na @mummy sinach
Delete@tb Joshua, one day monkey go go market, e no go come back.
Agreed , there's nothing wrong in him acquiring the Jet. Whether he is using it for God's work or not is not my business but there's something fishy in his denial. Why is he denying the ownership?
DeleteAnon 10:15 tell them o. Preaching God's word with private jet
DeleteQueen of this blog, get in here and debunk dz story as u be TBJ's number 1 Disciple AKA MRS Helen Joshua
ReplyDeleteIf it is his why deny it?

Whichever way,hes not too "small" to own one.
God bless you

ReplyDeleteWonderment
ReplyDeleteNot a bad idea though...
ReplyDeleteCongrats. Atleast he is a well known philanthropist so if he acquires a jet its no big deal unlike some other pastors that fleece their poor members of their hard earned money and still doesnt give back to the poor. Tb Joshua I love u.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you...
DeleteHaha, anony, blood ke?
ReplyDeleteLet's be sincere. TB Joshua gets his money from African head of states and also from foreigners coming to his church. How many Nigerians attend his church? He's not too small to own a private jet. Good for u tho
ReplyDeleteHmmmm let God who sees the heart of all be the judge.
ReplyDeleteIt is well with humankind.
As na TB joshua matter una mouth go close. Hypocrits!
ReplyDeleteIts only in Nigeria dat d pastors are getting richer while d congregation are been shocked in poverty.God help us
ReplyDeleteHe is a successful preacher and deserves every bit of the success that goes with a successful person. He is also a Philanthropist and SR have never deem it worthy to let the world see that side of him. Whose business is it if he owns a jet? did he steal your family or government money??? Na wa o.. Sir if true, please ENJOY!!!
ReplyDeletehttp://uyitimi.blogspot.com.ng/
I don't see any thing wrong in him to acquire a jet, after all is the work of God. Congrats should do.
ReplyDeleteGood for him and his members
ReplyDeleteWhether the news is true or not, it is high time Senior Prophet T.B Joshua or scoan own a private jet to help in the work of God. Am proud to be a member of scoan and can attest to the miracles of God through Senior Prophet T.B Joshua. Since I started worshipping there my life has changed for good. Emmanuel.
ReplyDeleteI pity you...l.ur life has changed till the demons start really disturbing you......why do al his members have to put his picture in strategic places in their houses? Why sell supposed holy water? A man that was living in the forest after getting power from demons naim u dey call man of God.........go and watch earliest videos of his church then u will know God could not have been in it...
DeleteHello Brethren in the Lord,
ReplyDeleteMay the peace and unity of the holy spirit fall upon you and your entire family as you read this splendid message from the synagogue church of all nations (SCOAN).
I want you to note that there is nothing God cannot do, He cares, He heals and provides. So your faith and belief is all that is required. Distance is never a barrier for your miracles. Believing that our faith would be joined together with the medium of anointed water and the new morning water, use it in faith and Jesus will be glorified in your life. God also uses the medium of the morning water to connect our faith, so he can touch you at the point of your need just like he has done for thousands of people round the world.
Remember that our Lord Jesus Christ is still saying something as He is the deliverer, the healer and the same yesterday today and forever. God has used the anointed water to work miracles and i know yours will not be a different one in Jesus name!!!!
The God of prophet TB Joshua is a wonder working God. God have used the medium of the morning water to heal thousand of diseases, HIV AIDS, CANCER, BRAIN TURMOIL, TYPE 2 DIABETES, FINANCIAL BREAKTHROUGH ETC. If you are outside Nigeria, and you do not have the time or money to visit the synagogue church of all nations (SCOAN).
