This paper examines Pastor Korede Komaiya's theology of success and its implications for leadership in Nigerian Pentecostalism. Using Qualitative Content Analysis, this study examines over 20 hours of video archives and transcripts from Komaiya's teachings, revealing a shift towards Functionalist Leadership, where material and intellectual success are seen as evidence of spiritual authority. Komaiya's assertion, "I will never follow a poor pastor," is analyzed as a rejection of the traditional mindset that has kept many Nigerians in a state of psychological and economic stagnation. The paper argues that Komaiya's message represents a necessary challenge to the Nigerian church to move from passive waiting to active engagement, prioritizing skill acquisition, networking, and a global outlook. The study recommends a balanced approach combining spiritual integrity with material success, emphasizing community engagement and social responsibility.
