Nigerian singer and presenter, Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has requested the general overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, following his recent apology on tithing to return the tithes he has collected from his congregants and others.
Recall that Pastor Adeboye’s name has been trending on social media after the revered clergyman tendered the public apology over his sermon of many years ago, in which he declared that people who do not pay tithe would not make it to heaven.
Pastor Adeboye tendered the apology during his church’s International Youth Convention (IYC) at the Redemption City of God, Mowe, Ogun State.
“I’m apologizing for saying,’If you don’t pay tithe, you won’t make it to heaven.’ I’m sorry, that’s wrong, and it’s not in the Bible. What the Bible says is, ‘Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see God,” Adeboye had said.
The apology has elicited mixed reactions on and off social media.
Reacting, in a post via his social media account, Charly Boy said Adeboye’s apology does not mean anything until he returns the tithes he collected from his congregation.
The entertainer said: “I truly believe that a lot of the fakest people are found in churches, my opinion not yours. Your apology doesn’t mean shit unless you promise to return the tithe money they give you for mumu people wey wan bribe dia way to heaven.
“Stop giving ur CONGREGATION ridiculous Lamba’s Sometimes the nicest people you meet may have bodies covered with Tattoos, the most bitter, judgemental, envious and wicked people all go to church on Sundays. Since your announcement decades ago, that people should trow away their TVs, I had always known that your way no pure as person wey dey “drink tea with God”
“There is nothing worse than a fault finding finger pointing Pastor who is as fake as the blings of a wanna be artist. Apology? when you know exactly what you’re doing. Nonsense Dia Father’s.”
