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.

“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.

“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?
