Pastor Tobi Adegboyega, the founder of the Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church (SPAC Nation), now known as the Nation Family, has once again captured public attention by stepping out in a breathtakingly opulent mode of transport.
The controversial cleric recently showcased a brand-new Ferrari SF90 Spider on his social media, a vehicle with a staggering price tag of approximately $590,000, reinforcing his reputation as a religious leader for whom high-performance supercars and designer attire are integral parts of his public persona.
The image of the pastor, who recently testified to being healed of cancer, behind the wheel of the Italian marque’s hybrid flagship is a potent symbol that has ignited a familiar, yet intensifying, debate.
For his supporters and some within his congregation, this flamboyant lifestyle is seen as a visible manifestation of God’s blessing and favor—a tangible testimony of divine healing and prosperity.
They view his acquisition of such an extravagant machine not as extravagance, but as a celebration of life and a declaration of faith in the abundance promised by scripture. In this narrative, the Ferrari is not merely a car; it is a rolling testament to a miracle received.
However, this public display exists within a complex and critical context. Pastor Tobi’s name has recently been embroiled in a high-profile scandal, cited in a N1 billion lawsuit filed by footballer Kayode Olarenwaju, who accused the cleric of having an adulterous affair with his estranged wife.
This legal drama casts a long shadow, leading many critics to question the source of such immense wealth and the moral compass guiding its display.
The juxtaposition of a cancer healing testimony with the acquisition of a half-million-dollar sports car, all while facing serious personal allegations, presents a stark paradox that fuels discussions about clerical accountability, the optics of wealth in the pulpit, and the very definition of “living his best life” for a man in his position.
The Ferrari, therefore, becomes more than a vehicle; it is a lightning rod for broader conversations about faith, finance, and morality in modern Nigerian evangelism.
