RCCG is a registered charity or not-for-profit. It is therefore unheard of that the children and grand children of the founder of RCCG want the organization to be accountable to them. It is like saying that the descendants of the founder of the International Red Cross should control and eat from the organization. An incorporated organization is by law distinct from its founders and is a legal entity / person

The only thing I can support is if the late Pa Akindayomi has a surviving widow, then the church should support her till she dies. The kids and grand kids are already pastors in RCCG  so what more do they want.  Pastor Adeboye's kids cannot take over from him when he passes on. The church will continue to be run by someone else. The leadership of a church is not something to be toyed. The Celestial Church of Christ is an example!

WhyAWhy:

I always try to be objective in life,  my own father is a well established man and rich in his own way,  I am pursuing my life personally with minimal help from his side but  I still have his support if I require,  when I finally get established tomorrow was it because of my own father's riches? So take away Adeboye's son from this, I am sick and tired of people trying to mentally figure out why someone has to be properous in life or not

If Akindayomi's family require support it shouldn't even be a public knowledge because to start with,  we were not told that the Church started and has been sustained on Akindayomi's Wealth so what's all this crap about "compensation". I am trying to imagine Azikwe or Awolowo's family holding nigeria to ransom because dem papa had a hand in Naija's walk to freedom. Mschew

It is because of folks like you that Nigeria will never change. Incur the wrath of God for what? Look at the state of Nigeria; does it look like a country that God cares about? No. How come it is only wrath that this God is capable of displaying? If this God hasn't answered all the quadrillion prayers that Nigerians have hitherto prayed, what makes you think He gives a [i]s[/i]hit about what people say concerning the church, things which are, for the most part, truth. Ageg go siddon and stop using God to threaten people. Church is a big and profitable business and like Brad Pitt said in the Inglorious Basterds, "Cousin, business is a-booming."

God has not poured his wrath on all them boko haram people; it is people here he will fire shey? We Nigerians deserve the evil our leaders mete out on us because we do not hold them accountable preferring to leave them to God who is just shaking his head at us.

My people (nairalander's) please why you can’t allow God to judge. Never said what is not, okay.

When it comes to news broadcasting based on facts and the truth, 247 Nigeria news update does not break false news. It is our principle to get only the verified fact out to the public. Recently, there has been a report circulating all over the air about the family of founding pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Late Rev. Josiah Olufemi Akindayomi, accusing Pastor Adeboye of changing church principles and Marginalization. This publication is untrue and has been verified by the immediate relatives of the Late RCCG founder.





The speculation that the Akindayomi’s want to have a representative elected by the family, in a permanent position on the governing council to  help ensure that the doctrine being taught by the church is in line with the spiritual beliefs of the late Rev. Josiah Olufemi Akindayomi is utterly unfounded, according to members of the immediate family,  This has been reported falsely and the Akindayomi’s were NOT aware of the petition signed by Abiodun Olukowajo (also a relative) on behalf of the family.



According to a member of the immediate Akindayomi family, both the Adeboye’s and the Akindayomi’s had a meeting today (1-August-2011) at the redemption camp. During the meeting, Pastor Adeboye and his wife openly discussed with Pa Akindayomi’s family on the circulating petition by Mr Abiodun Olukowajo. After a well mannered meeting the immediate family of the Akindayomi’s made it clear the news had absolutely nothing to do with them and were as shocked as anyone to hear of such allegations. When we asked one of Pa Akindayomi’s son (Baba Alakos) whether parts of the petition were right, he commented and made a statement that “The Church is of God not the Akindayomi”. He went on to categorically state  the family will never want to challenge Pastor Adeboye’s pastoral authority .Mr Abiodun whose name was mentioned in the letter, is one of the grandsons, and the immediate family suspect some people might have tried to exploit him against Pastor Adeboye for their own selfish interest. Nonetheless, the family have promised to talk to Mr Abiodun Olukowajo who lives in UK (London)



From our dialogue, the Akindayomi family categorically state they regard Pastor Adeboye as a father not just as a spiritual father alone.



Both families ended the meeting on a mutual and respectful note, and all parties went home in peace.
