I have always known he is shady.

Only if our police and journalists can act in the same manner in Nigeria on our pastors milking people dry.

Tobi is fraudulent and should be deported asap.

Where any of these financial and cult accusations confirmed? That is theain questions. Has it been confirmed he broke the law or is this just false allegations from former members of his church?

I'm sure there are ways to confirm the truth on these important matters and allegations than just stating lack of transparency.

a footballer playing in epl can take a million dollar to bank bro and police wont be called
malali:
When you look at the people he was mixing up with

Even a blind man knows they would end up with money laundering charges eventually.

Unlike Nigeria where you can carry 1 million dollars to the bank and deposit it.

If you take 1 million dollars to the bank in America or UK, they will tell you to sit while they process it, they will go to the back and call the police immediately.

Especially if you are a
black man or woman

Less than 0.05% of black people in the whole world have a million dollars

We, however have a 100 times more white people with over a million dollars.

But every time they charge financial money laundering crime its a black man. The minute you are wealthy outside Nigeria, they will start investigating your source of wealth if you are black.

That's not how it works.
A footballer cannot take a million dollars to the Bank.
Any legitimate person paying you a million dollars would wire you the money.
If a footballer takes a million dollars to the bank, they would ask him "where did he get the money"
No club pays in cash
If he cannot say how he came about the money, they will NOTIFY the police, they will notify the tax agency as well.
Even Dangote cannot take a million dollars in cash to a USA/UK bank without them asking him questions.

How is the bank sure its not drug money or proceeds of crime huh
You can wire 10 million dollars...with ease, but if you move cash.
Police will question and start watching you.

You obviously don't know how money works

While you are right having the extra passport does not does not stop his deportation based on his current immigration status, his having dual citizenship of another country that has visa free entry to the UK will allow him free access. The only thing is he might not be able to stay for extended time on a visit.
A case in point is that of abramovich, the ex Chelsea fc owner. His visa was revoked by the UK, but he still has access using an Israeli passport.
https://dailypost.ng/2021/10/06/chelsea-owner-abramovich-visits-uk-for-first-time-in-three-years/
How do you compare Abramovich to a criminal pastor? How much is the pastor contributing to the British economy compared to Abramovich?

Why do you think that the criminal pastor can’t be blacklisted from entering the UK despite his visa free passport huh

This was a long time coming.

One of my earlier posts about this charlatan.

=================================================================

Innit though. cool He only fools the dim-witted with all that showboating.

See the way Oxford students decided to distance themselves from his image-laundering effort.

The “media matriarch”: how Oxford unknowingly platformed Pastor Tobi

“Hello and happy Sunday to you,” Tobi Adegboyega says to the camera. Walking through the ivy-draped quads of Trinity College, he talks about the importance of such institutions and expresses his gratitude for the invitation to speak “on this ground”. The video, shared with his 365,000 followers on Instagram, says in its caption that “[a]t Oxford University this weekend I got to answer some questions and share some thoughts with students and leaders of the Trinity College”.

However, Cherwell can reveal Adegboyega was not invited by the University or the student group he addressed. Instead, he had been brought in by friend and fellow member of NXTION Family, Phadria Prendergast, using the event to publicise the group’s work.

Adegboyega, widely known as ‘Pastor Tobi’, founded and led the Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church (SPAC Nation). This group initially shot to fame in 2018 for encouraging young people to abandon crime and gangs and tAdegboyega, or ‘Pastor Tobi’, is not alone in using the image of Oxford to advertise his controversial brand.

The event
Adegboyega’s video depicts a “Women in Media panel”, held in Trinity College on 5th May. The event was organised by Oxford Women in Business (OxWIB) and The W magazine, which Prendergast leads. She was the main speaker throughout the event and at the end, she invited Adegboyega to the stage for a 20 minute one on one interview that had not been planned or sanctioned by OxWIB.

A Nigerian pastor whose church was shut down over an alleged £1.87 million fraud has lost his fight against deportation, despite claiming it would breach his human rights, News360 Nigeria reports.

An immigration tribunal has ruled that Tobi Adegboyega, 44, the cousin of John Boyega, the Star Wars actor, should be deported back to his native Nigeria after investigations, including by The Telegraph, exposed misuse of funds by his church.

Mr Adegboyega was head of SPAC Nation, a controversial church shut down after failing to properly account for more than £1.87 million of outgoings and operating with a lack of transparency.


He claimed deportation would breach his right under the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) to a family life – having married a British woman. He also said the attempt to remove him by the Home Office failed to take account of his community work with SPAC.

Describing a “charismatic” community leader of a large, well-organised church, his legal team claimed that he had “intervened in the lives of many hundreds of young people, predominantly from the black communities in London, to lead them away from trouble”.

He claimed his work had been “lauded” by politicians including Boris Johnson and senior figures within the Metropolitan Police, although no testimony by them was submitted to the court. He said that without his personal presence in London, projects that he had masterminded would fall apart or reduce in size.

However, the tribunal was told the Home Office contended “all is not as it seems”.

“Various manifestations of [Mr Adegboyega’s] church have been closed down, by either the Charity Commission or the High Court, because of concerns over its finances and lack of transparency,” according to the judgment.

‘Selling their own blood’

“Former members of the church have alleged that it is a cult, in which impoverished young people are encouraged to do anything they can to donate money, including taking out large loans, committing benefit fraud and even selling their own blood.

“It is alleged that the church leadership lead lavish lifestyles and there have, it is said, been instances of abuse. The [Home Office’s] case before us was that all of this needs to be taken into account when evaluating whether [Mr Adegboyega] is in fact of real value to the UK.”

Mr Adegboyega has lived in the UK unlawfully since overstaying on a visitor’s visa that allowed him to enter Britain in 2005. In 2019, he applied for leave to remain under ECHR’s right to a family life. His application was initially dismissed by a first-tier immigration tribunal before he appealed.

In the tribunal, he maintained no one had ever faced criminal charges over his church’s finances, that many of the attacks on him and SPAC Nation were politically motivated and that claims it was a cult were unfounded.

However, the tribunal was told the Charity Commission concluded “there had been serious misconduct and/or mismanagement in the administration of the charity which was sustained over a substantial period of time”.

The tribunal also found Mr Adegboyega’s evidence to be “hyperbolic in many instances” and had “sought to grossly inflate his influence”. “We find it to be implausible that he has the time to undertake all of this work personally,” it said.

The tribunal concluded: “We are not satisfied that the good work that SPAC Nation undertakes generally would collapse or even significantly suffer should the Appellant be required to leave the UK.

“Weighing all of the foregoing in the balance we conclude that the decision to refuse leave to remain was wholly proportionate.

“[Mr Adegboyega] seeks to rely on family and private life relationships, all of which have been established whilst he was in the UK unlawfully, and which would survive his return to Nigeria.

“The interference would therefore be limited, and lawful in all the circumstances.”

So, he's only 44. I thought he was much older like in his late 40s or early 50s.
Ifedayo "Freeze", Davido, and Obi Cubana were in London just last month and the met and took pictures with 'Tobi.

That dude sure has a significant amount of influence among a select group of A-list celebs.
