While preaching recently to his church members, Pastor
Bakare disclosed how someone sent him a 2015 Rolls Royce as a gift for his 60th
birthday, but he out rightly rejected it. According to him, he rejected it
because Nigerians can’t be living in abject poverty, while he is being given
such a gift. More importantly the company that sent the car, we are not sure if
the company paid for it, or an individual did or a government official, but the
company was involved in an $800,000 per car deal with a top Nigerian official not
too long ago and the pastor wasn’t ready to get into such ‘mess’. Continue...
“I was sitting at home one day and they brought in a brand
new 2015 Rolls-Royce into my house. My 60th birthday was coming. I looked at
it, kai! This is awkward. When you open your car, your door goes this way, its
own door goes that way. It clears the way so that there is nothing blocking
your way.
“I saw a button. They said, ‘It is an umbrella, sir. It is
on every door in case it is raining, you just push it and the umbrella comes
out.’ I said: Na wa o. Then I said: Oya, leave this place.
“Where is the road that I will ride it upon? My heart is not
in things like this. I asked my son to take a photograph of the brand new car
as a proof,” the pastor stated.
But seriously, how many Pastors can reject the offer?
