Nigerian comedian Akpororo has fired back at critics attacking the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor E.A. Adeboye, over his recent call for donations from church members.

In a trending video, Akpororo expressed disbelief at the level of disrespect shown to the revered cleric, questioning whether social media users “no longer know their elders.” He strongly condemned those hurling insults at the pastor, stressing that such behaviour towards a man of God was unacceptable and deeply disrespectful.

The comedian also noted that Pastor Adeboye’s appeal for donations was specifically directed to his “sons” in the ministry. According to Akpororo, if you are not one of those spiritual sons, you have no right to express any opinion on the matter. He expressed both displeasure and disappointment that some of the loudest negative voices were coming from people who claim to be Christians, making videos and posts that cast the man of God in a bad light.

Addressing complaints from some attendees about sleeping arrangements during the just-concluded RCCG Annual Convention, the comedian reminded them that attendance was voluntary. “Even those complaining about where they were sleeping… did they force you to go?” he asked pointedly, making it clear that participation in the convention was by personal choice, not compulsion.

Akpororo’s bold defense has resonated with many Nigerians, with countless supporters applauding him for speaking up in honor of Pastor Adeboye. For them, the pastor’s decades of faithful service, humility, and global impact far outweigh any criticism, and his call for support should be seen as a privilege for believers to contribute to the work of God.

Very well said. Dey your dey make Daddy GO dey him own

A lot of people are taking social media serious but us we know things are always exaggerated

Clout chasing. Wetin concern Akporero for this matter.

There are more pressing issues in the country that he & his likes should speak up against.

We live in a society where there is so much hunger in the land, and hatred for the rich. However, we need to draw a line when it comes to channelling our energy to voice out our anger. The hunger is not caused by private individuals, businesses, or religious leaders. They are caused by the corrupt political leaders who suppose to harness our God's giving natural resources to make life better, instead, they loot our common wealth for themselves and families.

We know those attacking the GO. We know where they come from.

This useless generation that is always using logic to determine spiritual things....

I don't know what to say on the matter but Christianity is not a cult.

We're allowed to call out false doctrine and morally deficient calls.

I’m never a fan of all these foreign religion & I’ve always maintain my position that religion is a scam, but what the Baba Adeboye said was clear. He mentioned his son’s!

If you’re not his son, why stressing? ... Redeem members are one of the richest! Dem get money for that church o! Winners too!

There was a time I followed a friend of mine to winners church. Omo, when e reach time for donations, can you believe people are donating 50m, 100m? I was like damnnn! These people get money for here o lol

He can't just win this war... Nigerians are tired of any tactics used by Politicians oh or Pastors to enrich themselves.

If it does not make economic sense in today's Nigeria, forget it.... You'll collect

This one is talking because he also live off donations







Who takes this one serious!

Akpororo, God bless you very much my brother...

The message was directed to the sons not just anyone...

When imams tell some Muslims that anyone who is a true Muslim must not associate themselves with the infidels and anywhere they meet an infidel they should kill him...are they not talking to Muslims who are their sons and core members.

What’s the difference between him and those criticizing, they’re all brainwashed. I know those criticizing him mostly are those he’s not in favor with but this same people hail their own deceiver.

COVID-19 exposed you all. Your books are just mere storybooks

Are you hungry? I hope you will be the first to accept being hungry when asked about your claims.

How should it be your problem when a father ask his son for donations.
I don't get it.
You don't give pastor money and you call those who gives gullible.
You're poor and have never made 1million in your life, you don't even have 100k in your account not even your father does. Yet you open your mouth to call someone what have excess to give 1 billion naira gullible or fool.

It's only in Nigeria poor men advice rich man.

If a poor man ask those people for money
They will say They don't have money
That economy is hard

If their daddy G.O ask for money
They will carry all their salary and give him

You ignore the poor
But enrich the so called daddy G.O

Because they believe they will receive more blessings from God

God will just be shaking his head in disbelief
The same parable of Lazarus and rich man
Still happening till today 21st century

ccjoe:
But they are always blessed and if not, why will they keep donating for over 40 years now and still gladly doing so....can u scam someone that long ? May be there's something they know that you don't. Don't you think Soo??

Nigeria that has been scammed since 1960
If Nigeria a population of 200 million plus can be scammed for 60 + years. .

Why can't a group of irredeemable sheeps be scammed till their old age?

Na why beards no gree grow for em face!
Anyways never take the words of a comedian serious,
You don't know if he's siding for you or indirectly mocking you!

What an Irony

All of us neva serious for this country... If we don serious, we go know where to face....

at least we still get some people that have sense for this country, people too like put mouth for wetin no concern them, baba adeboye talk to him members about donations for the ministry, people wey no even know full meaning of rccg begin hyperventilate on top the matter.

This useless generation that is always using logic to determine spiritual things....

in anything you do in this life, never removed logic. Once you did, a mad/drunk man is better than you. Your brain have been religiously askew to the extent you denounced "logic and reasoning", if this is what a docile old "old-school" is all about, please call me old "Gen Z". In gehgeh's voice " I spilt on your.................".

Let our daddy be. Leave him alone. Na we wan do the donation and not you people. We members will do the needs as our daddy has spoken

Adeboye is being attacked cus he has show over time that he is a two faced man n can never be trusted.

Kewtt:
Very well said. Dey your dey make Daddy GO dey him own

Steeples.
You don't know the damage so called religious bodies have caused over years. But I'm so you don't know history so u think this is a small issues. Ask the 400 people that burnt themselves to death in honor of their so called man of God. You think deception should be left unchecked in the society? Your brain don't function big

defend stupidity. A common trait of most Nigerians is that they enjoy exploitation because they do the same in their small corners

make Akpororo just shut up. Dix pastor is just gathering money nd ignoring his heavenly mansion.


make e leave vanity for us nd go to heaven

Most of those attacking the clergy are the unruly Muslims.
