The elite list of Nigerian Christian clergymen who own a private jet at least, have been swelled as president of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and founder, "The Word of Life Bible Church", in Ajamimogha, Warri, Delta state, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, yesterday, was presented with a private jet as he celebrated 40 years on the pulpit which coincided with his birthday.


The jet with registration number N431CB, is a 10-Seater Bombadier/Challenger 601 aircraft manufactured in the United States and was ordered at the instance of one of the pastors. The jubilant congregation spent over 15 minutes congratulating one another, while Oritsejafor did not make any comment on the gift said to have been purchased for him by the church.
Dignitaries present at the occassion included presdient Jonathan, governor Uduaghan of Delta state, the Speaker, Delta state House of Assembly, Engr. Victor Ochie among others.
Sermon was delivered by internationally acclaimed preacher, Dr Mike Murdock, who spoke briefly ‘on seven laws of success.’

The jet was reportedly flown out of the US from Morristown, New Jersey, in September 2012 ostensibly to be retrofitted and serviced before delivery last week to Mr. Oritsejafor.
Investigations over the internet revealed that the jet’s owners in New Jersey listed it for sale in July 2012. The data also showed that the jet had once been upgraded to give it more engine power. The jet’s interior is furnished with gold accents in the toilet and bathroom area.
Although the cost of the jet was not announced, investigation revealed that it could cost as high as $4.9m (Naira equivalent at current official exchange rate of Dollar to Naira is N769,300,000).
