Nigerian clergyman Pastor E. A Adeboye has divided the internet over his monetary demand during a church service.
While addressing his congregation, the clergyman called for donations from his members for the expansion of the church. He revealed that he has a 30 billion naira project that must be done urgently.
The RCCG founder called for 10 of his children to donate N1 billion each and 100 of his children to donate N100 million each.
“Right now, I need 10 of my children who can give us N1 billion each, and then I need 100 of my children who can give me N100 million each”.
His statement has divided the internet.

Last year, Pastor Adeboye admitted that his statement saying those who don’t pay tithe wouldn’t make heaven is wrong as it isn’t stated in the Bible. He noted how what the Bible talks about is following peace with all men and holiness without which no man shall see God.
Reacting to it, Evangelist Mike Bamiloye noted how it takes humility for a man like him to apologize. He stated that if God hadn’t corrected him in the secret, he wouldn’t have done that.
Also, reacting to it, legendary singer, had stated that the clergyman’s apology didn’t mean shit unless he promised to return the tithe money. The legendary singer added that sometimes the nicest people one meets may have bodies covered with tattoos, while the ones who go to church on Sundays are the most bitter, judgmental, envious, and wicked.
Charly Boy posed an important question to Nigerians on the essence of religion as he reacted to a viral video of Pastor Adeboye demanding offerings ranging from N100 million to N1 billion. Calling religion a business, he stated that most clergymen, whom he considers as God of men, are into Jesus’ enterprise.
