Nigerian pastor Ayo Oritsejafor says most of his colleagues in Nigeria are fake

Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, the outgoing president of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), has revealed that most people who claim to be pastors are in reality not men of God but ‘commercially minded people’. In a recent interview granted to The Punch, Oritsejafor has expressed displeasure over how ‘these men of God’ have turned the church into a business centre. “The problem we have in the church is that a lot of these pastors are not men of God as they were not called.  

They are mercenaries, commercially minded people. The duty of the church is to preach morality not materialism and because Nigerians are very gullible; they are easy victims of deceit.

They fall prey to some of these pastors or prophets of doom. “The way they live gives a wrong impression of what should be in a church of God. There should be no room for material possessions. I am not saying a man of God should not live a life of comfort but it should be a life of good comfort; that is why kidnapping is now a common thing even in the church,” he said.
