The Petition To Ban Funke Adejumo From UK: Nigerian Preachers Rise Against It by newsynews: 10:55am On Jul 26, 2018
Nigerian preachers are coming out to show support for Reverend Funke Adejumo who has recently come under attack after a video surfaced showing her telling her Church members to sow a seed of N1 million for stupendous wealth. The video which some quarters found offensive, has led to the signing of a petition to stop the female preacher from stepping into the UK. The petition has gathered about four thousand signatures.

However, some clergy men have called the petition an attack on Christianity. One of those who have spoken against the petition is Leke Adeboye, son of the general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor E.A Adeboye. In a social media post, he wondered why support for Funke Adejumo is not as loud as the one against her.

Joining the support for the female preacher is the General Overseer of the Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleiman. In a Youtube video, he says, 
"I was a journalist, there is nothing you will write about me that will get to me, I won't even read it and now its a woman of God, Reverend Funke Adejumo that they are busy attacking. It is not right, it is not fair and it will not stand. We stand by her at this time. We pray for her that this will be promotion for her ministry…"

Rev. Mrs.Laurie Idahosa, the wife of Bishop F.E. Benson Idahosa, also lent support as she shared a picture with Funke which she captioned:

"I don't need to write any long explanation. If you know me and what I stand for and you know her, you'll know why #istandwithfunkeadejumo #awesomewomanofGod"

A new petition in support of Funke Adejumo has been launched on change.org, started by Temi Chris-Kuye, to counter the call to ban the reverend from stepping into the UK. The petition has gathered about ten thousand signatures.

Temi Chris-Kuye who wrote, 
"Call to ban Funke Felix Adejumo is a direct attack on Christianity. Unfounded malicious, defamatory and slanderous accusations are not lawful. Discrimination against a specific religious leader and denomination of a faith is indeed unjust and a prejudicial treatment.

"Article 9 of the Human Rights Act expressly states the freedom of thought, conscience, and religion. Funke Felix Adejumo is a Christian woman who has dedicated her life to serving humanity- she has built orphanages, Children's hospital and shelter homes for women fleeing domestic violence."

I want to place a ban on anybody who shouts FTC, Afonja, Igbo or Aboki.

Secondly, we need to help get a job for some guys here; this Suya guy, and the other man claiming to be a woman.

What the heck!

All these people who have spoken in support of her have shown they don't even know the word of God. Firstly, what she said is no different from scam of the highest order.

Secondly, she is not authorized to preach in the house of God because she is a woman. The Bible states that woman are to learn in silence while in the congregation and never to teach. So, for all these preachers to be showing her support when they ought to be shunning her, is enough to show they know nothing about the Bible and what it teaches. No wonder many of them have questionable character.

My sermon this Sunday will show you how wrong it is for a woman to teach in Church. Jesus even called such women JEZEBEL.

STAY TUNED.

Everyone has a right to preach whatever they want to as long as it doesn't promote hatred, physical or psychological harm or lawlessness.

Every adult also has the right to listen to whatever they desire and make their informed choices.

Human beings are eternally diverse in thought, ideology and value therefore it is tyranny for any individual or government to Insist that things must be done according to their own ways or dictates. This is why whoever created that petition must be some joyless, hopeless and sad individuals who simply may die of heart attack over other peoples choices and way of life. People should learn to mind their business. ..If I do seed sowing it is not your father's business because no be your papa or mama give me money...

I'm glad the Nigerian clergy is standing by her...

I saw the video and I was a bit indifferent. Seed sowing is for those who have the money and have faith that it will multiply. You cannot force your way into people’s pocket to extract a million naira if they don’t have it. The woman is blameless in this regard.

As for the U.K.,that place has fallen for islam. Anybody that thinks the U.K. will reclaim her place on the world stage after brexit is joking. No wonder Donald Trump and the EU keep hitting them where it hurts. The U.K. is a bygone world power. Their best days are behind them.

The petition to ban the preacher woman might stand.

Christianity just like Islam promotes hatred,psychological and physical harm

We hear stories everyday and seer with our eyes.

We say Oyedepo slapping a little girl calling her a witch. An inconvenient fact which many of you wish to delete.

We see many oher children cast out to die on the street. We remeber the little boy of Akwa Ibom

Just this week we say the mother abandoned by her children because a "pastor" declared her a witch.

I could go on for ever. Christian preaching is not innocuous or harmless. It also preaches hate against other religions calling them "of the devil"

You are wrong....
I dont know the bible you are reading. I have no doubt you are not a christian. You wrote that people should shun her for encouraging people t give to kingdom cause. Did she forced anybody or used knife or gun at gunpoint to force them. Did you see where it was written that the money would go to her own ministry? The money was not for her ministry but for God's work in the UK.
Christians dont shun themselves, we are encourage to stand by ourselves in time like this.

I dont care if they ban her from entering the UK, but I know they cant ban her from entering God's kingdom.

Pls grow up and become a christian.
