Regional overseas are usually given to pastors who started the ministry alongside the oversea.Redeem actually started in Lagos and founded by a Yoruba man.Making the probability of having Yoruba men direct the ministry fully.So also if you can check the Lord's chosen which have Igbos mostly as regional overseas.Likewise Dunamis which is been headed by an Idoma man.

I've personally noticed something peculiar to the Redeemed Christian church of God which I am not comfortable with. The Bible warns that we should not give chance for people to question our faith our unity in the body of Christ. In other churches, like deeper life, chosen, mountain on fire etc state and regional pastorship have always been of people of different tribes as the case may be,

But it's not so with in Redeemed Christian Church of God were MOST (not ALL about (86%)). of their regional / state pastors are most Yoruba's in almost every state in nigeria. Is it that the people mostly trusted to be Good pastors to handle that PARTICULAR POSITION are from one particular tribe? This is what is happening currently in our Government. Please, constructive criticism no tribalism.

For the fact your bible says "you should not give chance for people to question our faith", shows there's something wrong! If your religion was good you would give people chance to question it!

@OP, you may be right about them all Yorubas but I think it's all about commitment. To be a deacon in RCCG, you MUST have been in the Parish/church for at least 5 years. That's after you've gone through foundation, Baptismal and Workers in Training Classes. To even be a pastor, you have to go through more training like Bible college and so on. Finally, I think it's all about the commitment. Many are called to be pastors but only few want to respond to the call. Take for instance, my parish has over 40 deacons and deaconess, three Assistant Pastors, One Pastor and the Senior Pastor (who's also the regional pastor). Many of them don't want to graduate in pastoral level and rather, be at the lower level because it comes with a lot of responsibility

It is a general phenomena I have noticed. But RCCG is still better.

How many churches founded by igbo men of God have Yoruba pastors?

I think its just better you work with those whom you can understand better.

Besides igbos have a way of turning Church to business, they start striving for posts like its business angry angry

I am speaking from experience. You Igbos are not as tolerant as Yorubas.

If given the opportunity, u will populate the entire pastorate with your tribe and send the founder's tribe packing.

The truth is that they dont just appoint regional heads based on the tribesmen from a particular region. I have attended a RCCG church and the pastor was Edo,Ben Akabueze the new director of budget is a deputy regional pastor. Before these church grew to that level many people from other tribes did not join the pastorate. I maybe wrong dont know. Yorubas are lessser tribalist than other tribes so something must be behind your observation.

The Rccg does not ordain based on your tribe. The qualification is become a member of the church, go for new believer's class and baptismal class, get baptized, do your school of disciples training/school of missions/bible school. Stay for at least 5 years. Above all, you must be Holy Ghost baptized. Well you must have been filled with the holy ghost before water baptism unless you don't know what you are doing. With this u are qualified. Thank you oo brother,I wonder how people think at times
The job of a pastor is not easy. Some people reject it when call upon. It takes Abundant grace

If human sentiment occurs, then the south westerners in the church easily outnumber people of other zones.

Most nigerians are not literate enough to make better judgement

From a cultural perspective, yorubas are more committed to religious activity than any other tribe, its rooted in their culture

The op should have started from the reason why most big ministries in nigeria are started and headed by the yorubas,

this is not rooted in the igbo culture or any other major tribe hence the reason you seeing many ministries headed by yorubas....

I think apostle suleman has spoken along this line before

From all indications, this post is biased. You're talking about RCCG in the third person and talking about Yorubas in the third person too. OP it indicates that you have a problem with ROs being Yoruba why? Because you're a typical Nigerian. It's not like they are not doing things well, it's not like they are low on character and leadership. Mbanu. It's because they are Yorubas.
In the body of Christ, there should be no feeling of insecurity whoever is ur leader is ur leader. So Op is a typical Nigerian in that we're all afraid of where our leaders come from. The other time it was 'the southerners that had the nation in their hand' today, 'the north is running an agenda of itself'. Outside Jesus, there's no real sense of security. You wanna be joyful and live in absolute peace, try Jesus!

I don't know many Yoruba rev fathers in d Catholic Church. Probably because majority of Catholics in Nigeria are Igbo. Also in Christ embassy the members of the central executive council are all from Edo state like pastor Chris oyakhilome, because they were foundational members & have been in the ministry longer working wt him.


Only a twisted person will start bringing tribe into d matter.
