These heroes of faith have played vital roles that had positive impact that's still sustainably relevant in several regions of Nigeria today. They have made their marks and left their footprints in the sands of time as pastors Nigeria will never forget whether for good or bad. We can also regard them as top Nigerian pastors of all time.
In no particular order, here are the top unforgettable Nigerian Pastors

ArchBishop Prof. B.A Idahosa:
 


The late Archbishop Professor Benson Andrew Idahosa is the founder of Church Of God Mission International CGMi. In his time, CGMi was the third largest church in the world with thousands of branches worldwide. Till date, the late Archbishop still remains the most travelled pastor of the African descent. He has traveled round all the continents of the world.
He performed the strangest miracles in his days amongst which are:
A child who was born without eyes (the eye spot of his face was totally blank) received eyes in one of his Kenyan crusade.
When authorities cancelled his crusade that was to hold in the benin stadium due to a casual football match and discrimination of gospel preachers then, he ordered heavy rain and thunder to disrupt the match and so it was. The authorities then tendered apologies to him, offering him the stadium for almost free. The crusade gathered over 500k people which was the crowdiest gathering in the country then.
He once ordered robbers who came to assassinate him in his house to drop their arms and sweep his compound.
The grave where he was buried over 19yrs ago is now a tourist attraction where most pastors go to pray for impartation anointing. When they take the sick to the grave to pray, they are healed without delay...
Papa in his time was the richest african pastor. He owned an estate, several private businesses, he received offerings and blessings from kings, wealthy and noble people around the world, he was one of the first african pastors to move around with a presidential escort and protocol. Papa was also a philanthropic mandarin. He really helped the poor that till date, people yearn and still feel the impact of his absence. Archbishop Idashosa was so influential that Presidents, Kings, Gospel generals and Nobles from allround the world knelt down before him for prayers including principalites like Dr. Benny Hinn. The world marvelled at this because of the level of racism there was at that time yet the most influential white people still knelt down to greet him. Papa Archbishop till date has the highest number of mentees and proteges in Africa in likes of Bishop David Oyedepo, Apostle Prof. Johnson Suleman and thousands worldwide. Records have it that more than 80% of the biggest Nigerian churches today are in affiliation to the ministry of the late Archbishop.

He has also performed miracles of all sorts. Oyakhilome celebrated  his 50th birth anniversary in 2014. He has sponsored billions of gospel materials in several countries in different foreign languages for free. The incomprehendable thing about this man of God is that he declared that Christ Embassy will not belong to any pentecostal covering like the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigria PFN, and the Christian Association of Nigeria CAN.

He recently returned the gift of a private jet because (as he said), when he prayed over the jet, God told him that the giver and the source was not pure, so he returned it.
