If Jesus Christ should come back as an Igbo man, 99.99% of Yorubas will go to hell fire because they will never believe in him including those gods of men cheesy

Personally, I admire RCCG esp Daddy GO a lot. But the idea of having almost all key leaders(pastors) as Yoruba's is worrisome.

Why do we call Buhari a Northern president? Its because of smt like this. I feel say every state get power and fire brand indigenous pastors that can equally do d work.

This Op sef. Don't be afraid to call a spade a spade. This is someone's business you are talking about. He reserves the right to run it the way it suits him. Go and start your own.

This ur view is wrong, I think it's due to d nature of yorubas, they understand and accept the concept of leadership as a means of progress and not slavery like some others think..

Look around you.. You'd notice something peculiar with these new generation churches, d 'set me free today', 'my enemy must die' ministries etc.. You'll hardly find yorubas there.

My own view tho.

It is very funny that you ended your miserably tribal post with "Please, constructive criticism no tribalism"
if you are "not comfortable with" the situation do leave very quickly before you lose your salvation. Good luck.

The reason is basically because the foundation members are mostly yoruba by tribe. All the names you see in that website are names of people that have been members of the church when the church was unpopular and only have few members. Just the same way we should not expect to see many yorubas occupying top positions in churches founded by Pastor Oritsajafor, Pastor Mike Okonko, Pastor Ntia Ntia etc. Not because they are tribalistic but rather because the foundation members are mostly people from other tribes and not the yorubas. And it is those foundation members that will rise to occupy many of the top posts as the church growths.

which kind person be this naa. Na so you make yourself available for devil reach?!
haven't you noticed that most shop-pentecostal churches are owned by the Easterners? they are always going to establish their own church. and you can never become a regional pastor in RCCG if youve not spent at least 25 to 30 years! yeah, from PARISH, to AREA, to ZONE and to PROVINCE then to REGION. that's minus transfers o! and years it takes before you become an ordained deacon, asst pastor then pastor. infact I wanna believe that ALL present regional pastors are all founding members of the church that have spent at least 20 yeas or so that aside, I jus retuned from faith clinic, and my Area pastor's name is PST Okechukwu, the immediate past pastor's name is PST Ikechukwu! that one nko? so I should start complaining abi? OP don't lemme vex for you o! why not talk about the Lord's Chosen Charismatic Revival Church grin

They have no problems opening branches all over the nation but appointing a non Yoruba as a pastor (not even regional) in any of those branches is a problem. They also have no problem collecting tithes and offerings from people of those other tribes. I blame the non Yoruba members who still contribute to the church financially for this.

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.With this u are qualified... It takes Abundant grace

You still did not answer the OP's question, or does that mean it is only the Yorubas that meet the criteria you mention?

very soon you will notice that all the twelve disciples of Jesus are Jews and the next thing you will be telling us is that Christ is a racist.

it shows that you are less busy and you must sit down to find a racist coloration to everything.

the redeemed church started in the west and was well established there before spreading..the spreading was done by people from the west who took the church all over the world..and in most cases their first members are westerners in diaspora, before others begin to join them..So it's not strange that leadership structure is skewed towards the west..you are free to call that racism if you choose.

Your observation may be right; but your correlation is simply wrong. If you check 60% of attendees are from South West and from being a worker you can become anything in RCCG. So if you do the permutation and probability you are bond to have more South West Pastors occupying positions of authority.
For your information these Pastors are Regional Pastors or Equivalent:
Pastor Agu Irukuwu UK
Pastor Brown Oyisto
Pastor Peter Amenkhienae
Pastor in charge of Region Abia (cant recollect Daddy's name now)
Pastor Utulu USA
Pastor Okenrende USA
Pastor Benebo Rivers
Pastor Abdulahi
These are the ones I can remember now sir.
Please note;I'm not the spokesman of RCCG or trying to defend anybody. Church is spiritual and apolitical. God bless you sir

From the general look of Christianity in Nigeria you can testify that the Yorubas are making the largest contribution than any other tribe. I think that's the reason why. This is not tribalism but an observation.

Wait a minute

I know that the most influential GOs in Nigeria are Yorubas. But are you saying that's it's ok to say that all the pastors should be Yorubas ? That's what the Op just claimed and you are agreeing to it.
