"I have watches worth over $2m!" — Salvation Ministries' Pastor David Ibiyeomie slams critics of his luxury lifestyle; says they were all gifts.

​

The internet is currently on fire following a bold revelation from the founder of Salvation Ministries, Pastor David Ibiyeomie. The Port Harcourt-based cleric has finally addressed the viral reports and "monitoring spirits" who have been analyzing the cost of the wristwatches he wears to the pulpit.

​During a recent service, Pastor Ibiyeomie didn't hold back! He revealed that his luxury watch collection is actually worth over $2 million—which is roughly ₦3 billion in today’s money. He noted that the specific watches being discussed on social media are just a tiny part of what he actually owns.

​

​But before you start asking where the money came from, the man of God has a "shocker" for the critics! He clarified that he doesn't actually buy these expensive timepieces himself. Instead, he says they were gifted to him by a young church member who felt "divinely instructed" by God to spoil his pastor.

​He described those analyzing his assets as "wasting their time," emphasizing that his focus remains on his ministry and solving problems for people. Sigh.

​What do you guys think? Is it "wrong" for a man of God to own ₦3 billion worth of watches, especially given the current economic hardship in the country? Or do you believe that a "blessed" man should live a luxurious life, especially if the items are gifts?
