Timi Adigun Of MINE Teeenage Ministry Called Out Over Illicit Sex by osuulola(m): 4:46pm On Dec 10, 2020
In a matter that is now a top trend on Twitter. Pastor Timi Adigun has been called out over Facebook.

I came back to Lagos some months back to find
out that Ojodu Berger, my area was awash with
rumours that one of the biggest teens ministry had
scattered due to allegations of sexual harassment.
This is a church that started in this area, and has
grown to become the biggest teens movement in
the country.
2. Pastor Timi Adigun, who founded MINE teens
ministry was being accused of having abused not
one, not two, but several girls in his ministry. This
is a ministry that is built on the idea of sexual
purity. In fact their biggest programme is tagged
'Virginity Day' where they have marches all around
the country and even abroad to promote sexual
purity.
3. I was shocked. In fact, I felt cold. This is
because I so much respect this man, and his
ministry. I have been a teen leader/counsellor in
this area for close to 15years, and so, I feel deeply
connected to this issue. I have taken teenagers to
this ministry and confidently told them to join that
this place would be best for them. I have invited
him to my local church before to minister, and even
pushed that he be invited to our national camp. So,
nobody can tell me I'm that this isn't my concern.
4. So, when I started hearing the rumours, I took
steps to investigate. I had meetings with some of
the top leaders in the ministry. I joined hands with
two other journalists and we investigated the
matter. We spoke with everyone who mattered, even
up to the former pastors. Everyone confirmed the
story. They were even urging is to go ahead and
publish. We even created a Google form for former
members to register their displeasure. You need to
see the anger on that form.
5. The very annoying thing is that this man doesn't
seem like he cares. He just wants to move on. The
last I heard is that he has started another church/
ministry. Something called 'Haven of Love'. Actually,
MINE Teens Ministry was closed without any proper
explanation. The church was also closed too.
6. You just throw teenagers into confusion. There's
too much anger on the streets. These guys have
been hitting up my DM, and I wasn't even a leader
or a member of the ministry. They are confused and
angry. Can you imagine, you've been telling these
kids not to have sex till they get married, but then,
you've been doing stuff with them in secret. Do you
know how they would feel? Do you know how many
of them are going all around looking for revenge
sex?
7. Some of these teens can't even tell their parents
what went wrong. If parents hear, that's the end for
some of them. They will never be allowed to go out
again. For some, it's back to their boring parents
churches where the messages are not targeted at
teenagers. I remember one time, when I was still an
executive in church. I and another teen leader went
to see the mum of a girl we were trying to bring to
church. The mum looked at us and shook her head
saying we were young boys, and she can't release
her daughter to us. She asked us if we had heard of
Timi Adigun and MINE Teens Ministry. That that's
the only church she can allow her daughter go to.
Well, we sha carried our legs and left. Because she
was right. We were just young boys. Who would
want to leave their daughters with us. But look at
where it ended. The place parents trusted.
8. If you've worked with teens before, you'll know
how frail they are. That is a very tender age for
them. They want to be led right. Right now, they are
just wondering the streets looking for what next to
do. This was a ministry they called home. Right
now, the flock is scattered.
9. It is things like these that make outsiders mock
us as Christians, mock our pastors and our faith.
These issues need not be swept under the rug.
10. What we are asking for is simple. We want Timi
Adigun to come out and give an explanation. He
can't keep silent. See, to be honest, if you people
know the respect I have for him ehn. I'm so willing
to forgive him. That's me, who's not even a core
member. Now, imagine, those who are his followers
gan gan. All we want is for him to explain to us.
Are these things true or not? Why was the church
closed down?
11. If these things are true. These are what we
want:
-- An admission of guilt
-- Public steps to change
-- Therapy/Counselling for the girls involved
-- Handover of the church leadership
Please, share this post as widely as possible. It
needs to get to him.

What's the evidence that it is sexual harassment? Are you sure it's not the girls fighting over who wants to be Pastor's wife?

If there is any truth in it . It's an attack of the enemy against that ministry. Pray for him and them

What's your evidence that it is not.
Serious issues like this can't be swept under the carpet and dismissed with a wave of the hand.

The truth is bitter but it heals.

You wan play kalokalo with the well-being and future happiness of impressionable young people who needs guidance through their turbulent adolescence?

Don't ever dare !!!!!

Dare what? Dare to be rational.

Some of these teens can't even tell their parents

So I am going to take a guy who has beef with the Pastor serious. A beef that started before the story broke out. I don't know the Pastor but I know when envy is in operation. I can smell set up from afar.
