9. Pastor Wole Oladiyun
He’s one of the pastors with eyes for business. Pastor Wole Oladiyun, the founder of wave-making Christ Livingspring Apostolic Ministry popularly known as CLAM, situated around Omole in Ikeja, was born to Christ Apostolic Church-attending parents but in his quest to learn more about making money through God, Pastor Oladiyun went to the Latter Rain Bible School Lagos, after which he moved to Deeper Life Bible Church, and later Victory Christian Church before he ended up with Faith Family Bible Church, Ojodu, headed by Rev (Dr.) D. K. Aboderin.
He left Faith Family Church to establish his own, and since then the church has been growing both in numbership and material gains that accompany today’s gospel work. His unique selling point is his prophetic ministry which has seen many move to the fold of the church. The church it was gathered is fond of telling people that attending the church is an assurance that the person will make heaven; this was in one of the church website that “We have a covenant with God that whosoever passes through this ministry or has contact with it in righteousness shall make heaven.”
The pastor who owns a private school, J-Nissi Children School, Ogba, is also into real estate as shown in CLAM Estate, from where the church sells properties to everybody who is interested. The church apart from these also owns a farm as well as an event centre to further generate funds. The Ondo State-born pastor also has an online store where his books and that of his wife are sold. The church in no time has grown to become a big business venture since it was formed. The church like others also has training school as well as an online medium through which the church can collect offerings and tithes.
