While most churches are investing in the Nigeria educational sector, a church in the country has decided to venture into the aviation industry with the establishment of its own airline.

The Omega Fire Ministries, a church-owned and run by Apostle Johnson Suleman, has announced it is set to estbalish an airline business that will employ no fewer than 3,000 workers.

This was announced by Apostle Suleman himself on his Twitter feed on Tuesday.

The man of God had written:

“Starting our airline very soon..hoping to employ 3000 Africans.50percent Nigerians..part of our contribution to Nation building… God helping us.”

The apostle’s tweet sparked several reactions online as many were glad about his desire to help Nigerian youths, while others took the opportunity to clamour for job roles.

One suggested the cleric starts with the provision of basic human needs, to which he replied that his ministry has already done that

Sir can you start from the Basic human need like food industry/ world class health centers or so.This will affect the poor more than airline. #WWJD

If you are a believer, and Christ is in You, pls you don’t need to tap into anybody’s Grace. Except he Apostle Suleiman is the one that died for you. Apostle himself is looking upto God.

I hope you will consider making it a cheap airline so that the poor can afford it?
If you can do it in such a way that the ticket price should only balance the maintenance of the industry & not for profit, that is the only way the poor can use it &the industry will also survive.

He can’t make such profit if the poor can use it, cos the idea should be for the poor church members to be able to have the experience of entering a plane.
It’s unfair that pastors build schools from the money they made from the church and yet those poor members can’t afford it.
