“I’ve Sacrificed My Career To Help Those Who Cannot Help Themselves” – Pastor Tobi Adegboyega
UK-based Nigerian pastor, Tobi Adegboyega, known for his lavish lifestyle and controversial persona, has revealed that his partner, Mary Olubukola Alade, is the one who financially supports his lifestyle.
Adegboyega, who leads the Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church (SPAC Nation), made this revelation during a legal battle with the UK immigration authorities.
During his hearing before Judges Bruce and Rastogi, Adegboyega explained that he does not receive any salary from the church.
Instead, his partner Mary, who holds a high-paying job at the insurance company AON and earns £100,000 annually, takes care of his financial needs.
Adegboyega emphasized that his flamboyant appearance, complete with designer clothes and luxury cars, is entirely funded by her earnings.
The pastor’s immigration woes began when it was discovered that he had overstayed his visitor’s visa, which he entered the UK with in 2005.
Despite multiple attempts to remain in the country on human rights grounds, the UK Tribunal ruled for his deportation back to Nigeria.
The court cited that he had no legal right to remain in the UK after his visa expired and that his appeals had failed to meet the required criteria for residency.
Addressing his choice of lifestyle, the 44-year-old pastor defended his need to showcase wealth and success.
He claimed that his flashy image is designed to motivate young people to pursue legitimate ways of making money, such as entrepreneurship.
“I believe it’s crucial to dress well and drive nice cars so young people can see there are lawful ways to achieve success,” he stated.
Adegboyega further explained that despite holding a first-class law degree from Nigeria, he had willingly given up a potential legal career to serve his community through his church.
“I’ve sacrificed my career to help those who cannot help themselves,” he added.
Solomon Dalung, former Minister of Youths and Sports, has once again pointed out the presence of a dangerous cabal within President Bola Tinubu’s administration, suggesting they are shaping the decisions and actions of the current government.
Speaking on Arise TV’s The Morning Show on Friday, Dalung emphasized that this influential group was working against the country’s best interests.
Dalung went further to describe the cabal as “dangerous,” claiming their actions are driven by personal gain rather than the welfare of the people or the administration.
He stated, “If you look at the hardship in the country and the president’s reaction, it’s completely a disconnect from the reality we are dealing with.
The cabal’s infrastructure is still effective, influencing the government in ways that go against the president’s intentions.”
He warned that the cabal’s actions, which seem at odds with the president’s plans, are undermining efforts that could have brought positive change to Nigerians.
Their self-serving interests, according to Dalung, are leading to decisions that hurt the nation rather than help it.
Despite revealing his views, Dalung chose not to name the individuals he believes make up the cabal, leaving that task to investigative journalists.
“It’s up to you to dig deeper and uncover the identities of those involved.
I have the right to reserve the names I think are part of the cabal,” he said.
