A Nigerian Pastor/entrepreneur appeared on Dragon's Den, a reality television programme in which budding entrepreneurs get three minutes to pitch their business ideas to five multimillionaires to invest their own cash.
The elegant young pastor who introduced himself as Pastor Jonah, wanted two hundred and fifty thousand pounds to start a new Pentecostal church, and promised the multimillionaires investors a return of 500% within the first three years.
Producers of Dragons Den series described the recently filmed episode as the most incredible idea ever brought to the show. They said the young entrepreneur was very confident and very smartly dressed in an Armani suit. "He was charismatic and extremely knowledgeable of the bible, and appeared to have really done his research", said one of the investors.
His Opening line was "Brothers and sister, the Lord has brought me here today to tell you that there is no business like Church business".
In the episode that will be aired next season, the entrepreneur pastor defends his "Church Business" case by presenting data gathered from churches in Nigeria where he plans to setup his own church. In a tense moment when he is being grilled by one of the panel judges Theo Paphitis, he asked the Dragon's Panel a rhetorical question, " How many of you own private jets?"
See what church business has turned to. Can't wait to watch the episode to see how this all ends.
