Nigerians react to Pastor Tobi Adegboyega's bold birthday statement amid reports of his UK deportation over alleged $1.8 million fraud. The pastor’s remarks, including reliance on lawyers over divine intervention, have sparked online criticism and irony-filled debates about his lifestyle and teachings as he faces an uncertain future.
Nigerians are reacting to a viral statement made by Pastor Tobi Adegboyega during his birthday celebration last month, just weeks before reports emerged of his deportation from the UK over alleged $1.8 million fraud. The pastor had said, “And if I get into trouble like I do most times, my lawyer is there. Nothing can touch me.” This statement, once a display of confidence, has now drawn widespread criticism and mockery online.
Social media users have highlighted the irony of the pastor’s remark, with many questioning his teachings and priorities. One comment pointed out that he trusted his lawyer more than God, while others criticized his unorthodox interpretations of biblical teachings.
The pastor, known for his flamboyant lifestyle and bold statements, has often attracted public scrutiny. He was also quoted as saying, “We are doing our work and still balling,” which has fueled further criticism. Some speculate on his potential return to Nigeria, expressing cynicism about his next moves.
