Throwback clip of Uma Ukpai's encounter with billionaire
The video, shared by @theechoesfromzion on Instagram, showed the preacher narrating how the billionaire had contacted him, claiming to have been made Nigeria's seventh-richest individual by God.
The billionaire allegedly stated that God had instructed him to give the preacher N13 billion.
However, Uma Ukpai said in the video that he questioned the billionaire's intentions, pointing out that God's instruction was not to give him N13 billion.
Uma insisted that the billionaire was supposed to give him only N1 billion, and keep the remaining N12 billion.
When Uma told his wife about it, she reportedly expressed annoyance over his stance, reiterating the numerous problems that could be solved with such an amount.

However, the preacher's stance was final, emphasising that his focus was on fulfilling God's will rather than accumulating wealth.
In his words:
"He called me and said God has made me the 7th richest man in Nigeria and he asked me to give you money. I said oh okay, you can go on. How much? He said God asked him to give me N13 billion. Thirteen billion naira. I asked him to stop. God did not say that. God asked you to give me only N1 billion and you take N12 million. My wife protested. She asked me, do you know how many problems N13 billion can solve? No, no, no. It's not how many problems N13 billion can solve, but the will of God. How much did God want me to collect? Not how much I want to spend. Yes, she said you know I don't think you came to this world with your head. But whether I came with my head or came with your own, Praise God. It's something only me can do."
