PASTOR OYAKHILOME GIFTS OVER ₦2.55B TO LOVEWORLD WORKERS AT PRESIDENTIAL AWARDS
In a remarkable display of generosity, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, President of LoveWorld Incorporated (Christ Embassy), stunned thousands of staff members in the early hours of today at the LoveWorld Presidential Staff Awards and Banquet held in Lagos.
According to Ambassador Chris Iyama , who documented the moment, Pastor Chris announced that every staff member who remained at the banquet until 4:00 a.m. would receive a cash gift of ₦850,000 each. The announcement sparked spontaneous jubilation across the venue, with loud shouts and visible excitement as the magnitude of the gift became clear.
The banquet, which hosted over 3,000 staff members, turned into a historic night of celebration and appreciation.
As of the time of reporting, more than half of the eligible recipients had already received credit alerts confirming the payment of the ₦850,000 gift.
A simple calculation puts the scale of the gesture into perspective:
₦850,000 × 3,000 people = ₦2,550,000,000
This means Pastor Chris disbursed at least ₦2.55 billion, with the total figure likely higher given that attendance exceeded 3,000 staff members.
The extraordinary act has since generated widespread reactions online and offline, with many describing Pastor Chris Oyakhilome as “much more than a man” — a leader whose commitment to honoring and uplifting those who serve with him continues to set him apart.
The LoveWorld Presidential Staff Awards and Banquet once again reinforced the ministry’s culture of excellence, gratitude, and impactful leadership, leaving an indelible mark on all who witnessed the event.
