The famous prophet, Shepherd Bushiri acquired a third private jet in a space of two years and photos of his acquisition has caused tongues to go wagging.

The unveiling ceremony of the new jet ZS-VIP was done by the biggest aviation company-NAC in South Africa on Wednesday, January 6.

The handover was presided over by Gulf stream manager Larry Flynn. Bushiri received a certificate from Flynn for becoming the youngest buyer of Gulf Stream jet.

The pastor who is popularly referred to as “Major 1” of ‘Papa in Christian cycles dedicated the new jet to all the people who follow him and understand vision.

Nigeria Camera reports that he posted photos of the new jet on his Facebook page, and when a follower criticised him for spending money that could have been used to help the poor, Bushiri replied: “When are you going to sell your phone which you have used to type here and give the money to the poor?”

After the unveling ceremony, Bushiri Nyasa said that he was leading by example. He said: “I am a man of God. I believe I need to live by example. I teach the word that strenghtens the faith of all. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me’, and that is exactly what I am doing now. I am what God says I am and not how other people judge me.”

The popular prophet has come under very serious criticisms in recent times, as many believe that he is frivolous in spending, a trait that should not be associated with an acclaimed man of God. However, the criticism tends to have caused the pastor to do greater spending exploits.
