He thinks it's Nigeria, the shit hole where they do anything and go scottfree.


You can imagine the audacity, having fun with people's tithes and brag about your financial strength!




He not only steals in the name of God, but also a serial liar.

Anyways, those who still give another mere man money all in the name of giving it to God, sorry for you o. The format wey dem use hold you, naim dey sponsor their lavish lifestyle and you, a 65-year old fool would be busy calling a con master of 35 years "papa, daddy".


I repeat, there is no righteous man on earth. As far as you are a human being, you are a prolific sinner! And both your papas and daddies are. They are fake, strategic and will keep milking you!


If tithing and offerings was removed, no cash out means that many church will fall! Even the APC Christian church in Nigeria!


Back to the issue on ground, do you know if this pastor comes to Nigeria with all these news of extortion, there are already-made fools ready to become his congregants here?

I mean, didn't he know it's a financial blessing coming to Nigeria to continue?

New details have emerged on why the United Kingdom immigration upper tribunal approved the deportation of Pastor Tobi Adegboyega, founder of Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church, commonly known as SPAC Nation.

The 44-year-old pastor, who arrived in the UK on a visitor’s visa in 2005 but did not leave when it expired, had sought to remain in the European country on human rights grounds. He had married a British citizen.

After the Home Office denied his request, he appealed to the first-tier tribunal, which equally turned him down.

Subsequently, he appealed to the upper tribunal on August 15, 2022.

The controversial pastor, through his lawyer, Dele Olawanle, told the tribunal that his church had initiated various intervention programmes to rescue troubled youths on the streets of the UK from gangs and crime.

Adegboyega also argued that his deportation would harm his projects and community influence, which he claimed had been supported and recognised by prominent UK figures, including former Prime Minister Boris Johnson and senior figures within the Metropolitan Police.

He also claimed that he had played an instrumental role in setting up a food bank which had provided 136,000 meals for children, adding that he “intervened in the lives of many hundreds of young people, predominantly from the black communities in London, to lead them away from trouble”.

Adegboyega added that he established a network of safe houses throughout London where he accommodated young people trying to avoid gang conflicts.

But the upper tribunal judges, Bruce and Rastogi, insisted that Adegboyega must return to Nigeria despite his arguments.

In the judgement document obtained by Saturday PUNCH, the court rejected Adegboyega’s appeals, citing his unlawful stay in the UK and exaggeration of his community work claims.

The tribunal ruled that Adegboyega had “grossly inflated” his contributions, describing his claims as “hyperbolic” and unsupported by substantive evidence.

The court noted that the pastor failed to provide corroborative evidence that the UK police endorsed and supported his works.

The court insisted that his work could continue without his presence in the UK and dismissed his marriage to a British citizen as insufficient to counterbalance his immigration violations.

“We do, however, note the absence of corroborative evidence in respect of the most prominent agencies that the appellant (Adegboyega) claims as his supporters.

“There was nothing before us from the Metropolitan Police, Downing Street, the Mayor of London or the Home Office, all institutions which the appellant claims to have enthusiastically endorsed his work,” the court affirmed.

“For instance, there was nothing at all to support his assertions that his presence in London is needed to ‘calm the nerves of people from ethnic minorities’ following the ‘fascist uprising’ of August 2024, or that his presence is an ‘absolute necessity’ to fighting crime. There was no corroboration for his claim to have visited Downing Street on ‘countless occasions’. These are examples of areas of the appellant’s evidence where we are satisfied that he has sought to grossly inflate his influence.

“When we asked him to describe an average day, the appellant told us that he schedules six church events per day, seven days a week. These can be all over London. He visits as many as 20 congregants per week in their own homes, and is often called upon to spend between 3-4 hours talking on a one-to-one basis to a troubled young person. He also told us about the time that he spends supervising and helping some of the many business ventures, or ‘CIC’s set up with SPAC Nation’s help, and to organising the foodbank. Even allowing for his admission that sometimes this packed itinerary causes him to run late, we find it to be implausible that he has the time to undertake all of this work personally. We consider it far more likely that this work is distributed among the many pastors, congregants and supporters of SPAC Nation.”


I depend solely on my wife

Earlier, Adegboyega told the court that he had always depended on his wife, Mary.

“He states that he lives with his partner, Mary Olubukola Alade, who earns £100,000 per year working for AON. He spends his time working for the church, for which he is unpaid. He is entirely supported by Mary.
’
“He has a first-class law degree from Nigeria but he has ‘sacrificed’ his legal career to help those who cannot help themselves,” the court heard.

Adegboyega also told the tribunal why he flaunted an extravagant lifestyle.

“For instance, people have pointed to the fact that he wears designer clothing and drives expensive cars. He was adamant that all of his personal possessions have been paid for by Mary. He has never taken a penny from the church. He believes that it is important for him to dress the way that he does because he needs to inspire these young people – they need to understand that there are legitimate ways of making money, for instance through entrepreneurship.”

Known for his flamboyant lifestyle, the self-styled pastor has long been at the centre of controversies involving alleged financial misconduct and a lavish lifestyle that have drawn criticism.

The British Broadcasting Corporation released a documentary detailing how Adegboyega, popularly known as PT among his followers, allegedly defrauded his church members in the guise of helping them create their own businesses.

In the documentary, victims claimed that they were “brainwashed” into believing their financial sacrifices would fund community programmes to rescue troubled youths on the streets of UK from gangs and crime, only to find the money allegedly misappropriated to support the pastor’s lavish lifestyle, including designer wardrobes and luxury cars.

But Pastor Tobi did not face any criminal proceedings neither was he convicted of any crime.

The celebrity pastor threw a lavish birthday party in November. The party was attended by popular Nigerian artistes, including Davido and Kcee.

“Let us just have fun as one family tonight and if I get into trouble like I do most times, my lawyer is there right on my table, so nothing can touch me”, Adegboyega said to the cheering audience.

The cleric, who is usually seen in the company of celebrities displaying an affluent and opulent lifestyle,became enmeshed in a scandal when the UK Charity Commission and High Court investigations revealed financial impropriety involving over £1.87m, leading to the closure of his church in 2022.

Responding to the latest ruling on his immigration status on Instagram, Adegboyega dismissed the allegations, insisting that no amount of persecution would bring him down.

He said, “I’m right here at home, no cause for alarm. Naturally, I will dismiss things that have to do with retrogression; every Nigerian should be proud of me. Living in the UK, a city that is well known for pulling people down, I have survived all sorts, so the matter that they are propagating is the smallest matter.

“No panic, I love London city, it is my city and nobody can do anything. Of all the people of colour you know here – pastors and leaders, I have survived everything.

“I’m here, I am at home, nobody should panic for me. I succeeded well in this country despite all challenges and I’m in the league of people you look up to. I have survived that well, nothing has changed, nothing will change.

“I’m here, number one in London City and nothing is going to bring us down.”

Few hours later, another video of Adegboyega surfaced online showing him dancing with others.

He claimed his companies had raised over £1m since the news of his deportation surfaced.

“They have raised over £1m in 24 hours since yesterday’s news. This is a blessing I couldn’t see coming,” he wrote.

Meanwhile, Adegboyega still has an option of appealing the upper tribunal judgement at the Court of Appeal of England and Wales.

According to the UK Home Office, he must file the appeal within 28 days of being given permission to do so by the upper tribunal.

Sukkot too wants 'Tobi to be deported.

This 44-year-old guy is obviously adamant about staying on in London. 'Tobi brought this upon himself with his sometimes garrulous nature and should NEVER have led an extravagant lifestyle in the United Kingdom (England) where you will instantly draw the attention of the regulatory authorities, the media, and even envious people.

Since he still has a right of appeal, let's see how it pans out. If he ends up losing his appeal, then he can go back to Nigeria and join his father who I hear is a well-respected General Overseer of SPAC in Ibadan OR move to Eko Atlantic City, on Victoria Island to continue his so-called hyped up version of SPAC.

It's indeed stunning that a First-Class Uni graduate of Law can allow a mix of religion and extravagant lifestyle to turn him into this quagmire. It's even obvious to discerning folks that Tobi Adegboyega (who is a first cousin to British-born John Boyega the Hollywood star) has a personality flaw in his psychological make-up and needs to see a shrink in order to regain a balanced perspective of life.

diamond68:
lmao I am not familiar with the guy or his lifestyle at all. I am only just hearing his name ni now. So obviously my post was a troll. But regarding his lifestyle as stated it will be un-Nigerian of him not to show off and throw his weight around and be grandiose. It’s that annoying Nigerian trait that is ever so ubiquitous. Davido exhibits the same trait hence why they are blossom buddies. Bunch of narcissistic weirdos 🥴🥴🤣🤣

completeskills:
Sometimes I just wonder why many people can't just live a quiet lifestyle that won't draw attention. I know of a certain young man who is a very comfortable. He travels all over the world and have many businesses here in the UK. But you won't hear his name anywhere in social circles. You won't even know he is that rich. He lives his life like he does not exist. Tell me how will attention be on him if he pays his tax and does the little thing right? Just mind your business and live a quiet life. You will hardly face issues

Konquest:
I hope you're doing OK my bro?

It's interesting that as a UK citizen, you didn't know Tobi before now. I first heard of him sometime during the COVID-19 lockdowns when Ifedayo "Freeze" Olarinde (whose medical doctor father is from Osun State and lawyer mother is from Romania) talked about him and interviewed him from London.

I follow "Freeze," Tobi, Obi Cubana and a host of other prominent business, investment, travel and lifestyle folks of Nigerian descent (Diasporans or not) on Instagram, so, I get to regularly see their videos and posts. Just in November 2024, Freeze, Obi Cubana, Davido, etc, all posted videos and group pictures they took with Tobi in London at a celeb party on IG. NO doubt, Tobi is well connected to a lot of celebs and this is why he has been able to quickly raise £1 million to take care of his court appeal. Davido is actually his friend and a member of his Church, while Freeze and others are either his friends or acquaintances.

The obviously annoying thing about the 44-year-old Tobi is the cockiness he exhibits which meshes with the emphasis in your post about the "show-offs" and "grandiose" behavior. Davido himself smokes "Igbo" the smell of which I can't even stand as a man NOT to talk of smoking it. There's recreational marijuana which is certified and distinct for the management of the tremors in Parkinson's disease and other neurological disorders, BUT smoking "Igbo" for a young singer like Davido in that Tayo Aina travel documentary is on another level entirely. Smoking weed does have long-term mental effects based off of credible medical and scientific research that are in the public domain

Enjoy your day Sukkot.

Ciao.

Summary:

Pastor Tobi Adegboyega, founder of SPAC Nation, has been ordered by the UK immigration tribunal to return to Nigeria after his appeal to remain on human rights grounds was rejected. He overstayed his visitor visa from 2005 and later sought permission to stay, citing his marriage to a British citizen and his community work.

Despite his claims of helping troubled youth through intervention programs, safe houses, and food banks, the tribunal found his contributions exaggerated and unsupported by evidence. His flamboyant lifestyle and allegations of financial impropriety further complicated his case. Investigations previously led to the closure of his church due to financial misconduct.

Adegboyega dismissed the ruling on social media, asserting his resilience and success in the UK, while hinting at plans to appeal the decision within the required 28 days.

Konquest:
Thank you @Sukkot, I'm doing really great as well! These are some of the BEST times in human existence despite the pressures of everyday living and the global geopolitical tensions.

Oh wow, now I get it. Indeed, just like you, I follow on IG the Bloomberg-rated and Forbes-listed Femi Otedola, Femi Awotona, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Tony Elumelu, Lanre Olusola (a respected NLP specialist), Ray Dalio, Tony Robins, Sisi Yemmie (I'm a foodie) and a host of savvy international business leaders, technocrats, and A-list global politicians as well. Minus Ifedayo "Freeze" Olarinde who I like for sharing financial education strategies and how he makes his income (or few millions) from investments in financial markets assets, following Tobi, Davido, and Obi Cubana on IG is just an extra to see occasional glimpses of what they do.

Cheers again!
