“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.
Donald Trump swears in as the 47th President of the United States. The swearing in ceremony was held in Washington, DC.
The ceremony started by Trump attending the church service to start off the inauguration activities.
Trump gives a speech to the audience during his inauguration “I stand before you as proof that you should never believe something is impossible to do. In America, doing the impossible is what we do best.”
“We will not fail. From this day on, the United States of America will be a free, sovereign and independent nation.”
“The future is ours, and our golden age has just begun.”
Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has issued a stern warning to electricity vandals in Abuja, urging them to stop their criminal activities.
In a media chat on Sunday evening, Wike expressed his anger over the destruction and theft of transmission cables, which led to widespread power outages across the city. He vowed that those responsible would face severe consequences.
The Minister confirmed that several suspects have been apprehended in connection with the vandalism. However, he made it clear that the charges would not simply be theft, but economic sabotage.
“These vandals have caused more than 60% of Abuja to be plunged into darkness. This is pure sabotage.
Thankfully, our security agencies are fully on top of this,” Wike said. “Those involved will face the full weight of the law, and we will ensure they stay in litigation until convicted.
We won’t settle for theft charges. We’re going after them for economic sabotage.”
Bashir Ahmad, a former media aide to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, has warned those pushing for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), saying such individuals are enemies of Nigeria.
On his X platform, Ahmad made it clear, stating, “Anyone advocating for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, a terrorist and leader of the banned IPOB group, should be seen as an enemy of this nation.”
Kanu, known for his call for an independent Biafra and his support for the secession of the southeastern region of Nigeria, has been a contentious figure for years.
The Nigerian government arrested him, accusing him of instigating violence and plotting the division of the country.
Despite court rulings that cleared him, Kanu remains in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).
His detention continues despite legal setbacks, including a 2022 ruling that acquitted and discharged him.
