Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo: Shina Peters reacts to comparison with Jim Ovia
Legendary Nigerian Juju singer, Sir Shina Peters, has reacted to Pastor Mathew Ashimolowo, the founder of Kingsway International Christian Centre, KICC, for comparing his financial decisions with that of Zenith bank founder, Jim Ovia.
Recall that Mathew Ashimolowo had while preaching about ‘wealth and timing’ at COZA 12DG, said, “Don’t buy a big house until you cross a certain age. What do you need it for? To show? In 1990, two men had N20 million in Nigeria. One used his own to build a big house, the second one used it to start a bank.
“The house that was built in 1990 cannot look beautiful to today. Systems and designs have changed. In 1990 everybody dey build 4 flats but now is contemporary houses. Now the bank is worth about N20 trillion, I will mention the musician, it’s not a crime, it’s what he did. His name is Shina Peters, using N20 million to build a house. Jim Ovia’s N20 million started a bank.
“One man is now fixing leaking roofs, broken toilets, door wey no dey shut anymore. And the other one, every country I go to in Africa, I see a branch. So, I’m speaking to someone now, delay your gratification, God will lift you up,” he said.
The sermon has sparked criticism from netizens, including singer Daddy Showkey, who condemned the cleric for mocking Shina Peters’ career.
Reacting to the trending video in a post on his Insta story on Wednesday, Shina Peters described the cleric’s claim as false and derogatory.
While appreciating his junior colleague, Daddy Showkey, for bringing his attention to Ashimolowo’s claim concerning him, Shina Peters, who is now also a pastor, noted that he would not take legal action because of his dedication to the body of Christ.
He wrote, “Thanks to @daddyshowkey for speaking on this matter and bringing it to my attention. I’m not one to judge people and their opinions of me, but as a man of God myself, and for the sake of the legacy of our Christ Jesus, I will not be taking legal actions nor will I speak ill against you, despite your false & derogatory statements.
“God has really blessed me beyond words, you can’t even begin to imagine the blessings of God upon my life all these decades. People close to me know what I’m talking about. On the other hand, God being a loving father that He is, has also blessed you, His son, @matthewashimolowo.official.
“How we use our blessings to set good examples for people is what matters now. May God almighty continue to bless all my fans all over the world. Amen.”
