Here is what he told Bosede Olusola Obasa in a recent interview.
People say that you are a flamboyant pastor, how would you
react to that?
react to that?
It is because of where I am coming from.
In fact, your neck chain has been described as expensive,
just like those worn by Nollywood stars…
just like those worn by Nollywood stars…
It is because they don’t know where I am coming from. I am
here to make a statement, including the way I build my buildings. Look at this
facility, the one in Ikeja, you also need to come to Royal City. The crown on
the building alone costs a lot. Even the school I build must spell class, the
hospital and so on, the cars I drive, the clothes I wear – they are all a
reflection of what God can do. I will never do anything inferior for God. Who
says that being flamboyant is satanic? Satan has nothing. The Bible says, “I
give you power to get wealth.” Even if I look expensive, it is more of what I
give out than what I wear or have. Between last year and now, I have given out
about 20 cars to those who needed them – especially missionaries. Where I live,
the people didn’t have electricity supply for four years. I had to intervene
with transformer and accessories. I depict and reflect God. My message is that
God can lift anyone. I tell the whites that being a Nigerian doesn’t mean one
has to beg. In Florida, a man of God wanted to know what needs we had in our
church and I said I would rather ask him that question and I gave him $2,000.
God’s word says it is more blessed to give than to receive. I finance all my
churches abroad.

So, you have no apologies for being so flamboyant?
No, I don’t.
