Every Sunday, she looks like she is stepping out from the covers of Vogue magazine. Her lace fabrics are the rarest French laces and her make-up is superbly flawless. But what stands this stupendously wealthy pastor out is her love for jewelry. As far as the Christian world in Nigeria is concerned, no female pastor can match her in the diamond department. She has jewelers all over the world from where she collects the finest pieces in modern craftsmanship. From Lapis Lazuli to Agate, to Tanzanite, to Princess cut, to Emerald, Agate, Platinum, Gold, Onyx, Obsidian and even fresh water pearls, she has them all. Her exotic collection would make most lousy society women go green with envy. Her taste is fabulous and she always steps out like a Hollywood diva each time you sight her.
If you preach the gospel by looking a million dollars, be ready to have your wardrobe discussed openly. It’s never an offence.
But she is also heavily into oil and gas. In fact, she is known to own oil vessels. If you know what it takes to own one vessel, then you imagine what it takes to own a fleet. Welcome to the super-duper world of Pastor Chris Agboli and Pastor (Mrs.) Blessing Agboli, the presiding pastors of Victorious Army Church in Ogba.
They are sure divinely blessed as they will articulate the word of the Lord with great perfection. Their ministry is growing in leaps and bounds but most importantly they are one type of a unique couple you won’t find elsewhere.
Today we take a peep into their flamboyant world. Pastor Agboli is a suit freak and loves his high leathered men’s shoes. His collections of suits are just too impeccable and his total package is fabulous. But it is his wrist watches that cause a stir in church always. Name it, from Rolex to Piaget, to Franck Muller to Bulgari, he has them all and is never shy to mention it to his enthusiastic congregation. He would regale them with the origin and sometimes worth of his accessories during sermon.
But if you think that is as best as it can get then you are in for a big joke. His wife, pastor Blessing Agboli is by a mile, flashier. She is without doubt the most fashionable woman in pastoral work in this side of the world. Her outfits are strictly couture, vintage or bespoke.
Apart from collecting tithes and offerings, the senior pastor of Victorious Army, Joseph Agboli has devised another means of fleecing his congregation.
It is alleged that the pastor during service would tell his people that the church is in need of certain things and he wants people to contribute to the work of God. But to make people wake up to his call, he would just mention a bogus amount of money in millions depending on what mood he is. And immediately he mentions this, the whole congregation has no option but to donate what they did not bargain for.
To further display his newfound wealth in the vineyard of God, Pastor Agboli is in the habit of asking his wife how much he bought some of his accessories like wristwatch, shoes etc. He would call out to his wife: “Mummy, where did I buy these shoes and for how much” and mummy would then reply, “I remember you bought it at Harold’s in UK for 10,000 US dollars,” and the whole congregation would then shout halleluyah.
One ex-church member squealed that he stopped going to the Victorious Army Church when he saw the way the man of God was forcing money from his church members and while the pastor and his family live big, some of those who are donating their hard earned money are grappling to survive.
