Latter Rain Assembly Pastor, Tunde Bakare, has buttressed Teni’s song that the Nigerian super rich do not have two heads.
The artiste stance is that she too deserves to be rich like Aliko Dangote and Femi Otedola.
Bringing a financial expertise and entrepreneurship perspective to the philosophy, however, Bakare, in a lecture, said the highest level of financial power was possible – but only by treading the enlightened path.
He gave the example of himself who, according to him, has not entered any bank for transaction since 1985, saying banks visited his home for business instead.
Bakare is said to be one of the Nigerian pastors who are very rich.
He is into property, so much that he is said to have facilities in different parts of the country and abroad.
He is, however, not known to be flambuoyant, at least not as some of the clerics arguably lousy in their disposition.
‘The Vanguards’ quoted him as saying:
“I am not showing off as you will call it, I am only provoking you to charge up yourself.
“My mother was not a rich woman, but someone once told her that she would have bank accounts abroad and she laughed, but right now, she has a son that has bank accounts abroad.
“These things don’t really have anything to do with education…If I can run bank accounts without visiting the banks, you too can. I don’t have two heads, neither does Dangote. Paying your tithe and offering doesn’t mean you have a heavenly bank account.
“If you think I am going to rush this sermon, you missed. I am going to go slow, after all, our president is ‘Baba Go Slow’ and I am his very good friend.
“To store up a treasure in heaven requires a different approach. Holding loosely and sharing freely and giving away heartily treasure for God’s kingdom purpose.”
