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. Above all, you must be Holy Ghost baptized. [b]Well you must have been filled with the holy ghost before water baptism unless you don't know what you are doing. [/b]With this u are qualified.
The job of a pastor is not easy. Some people reject it when call upon. It takes Abundant grace

Not correct and misleading...."John baptized you with water, but I will baptize you with the Holy Ghost, did you noticed the one that came first?

You could as well ask God why majority of anointed men of God in Nigeria are from yoruba.

MrPresident1:


This is not a dic.k measuring context, the fact is that the BIGGEST PASTORS in Nigeria are Yorubas!

You get lost!

e pain am!

And they keep going to hell. Well done tribe of adultery.

sukkot:
hausas are not christians. leaving only igbo. you want rccg overseer to leave his church funds in the hand of ipad youf ?


JUST KIDDING. ITS A CORRUPT ESTABLISHMENT WITH CORRUPT PEOPLE IN IT. MY OPINION

You are so Dumb
So Hausa, igbo and Yoruba are the only tribe in Nigeria?
That's a disrespect to all other ethnic group and I ask u tender an apology !

The answers to the OP question is rightly addressed by the post below

gbengadada2004:

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.

Hmmmmm

letsbet:
Maybe a higher percentage of the high ranking members of the Church are Yoruba's who were loyal and fundamental to the growth of the ministry right from the early days. in a case like this, they will be more liable to become zonal Pastors when a new branch of the Church springs up.

bro higher percentage is not the yard stick please Holliness and righteouness is the only...

Thank God sole one too has seen. It not only state and regional pastors.. even most of their local pastors...only God and the admins knows why..

This writer must be a lunatic and also suffering from brain disorderly. How many Yorubas does he know as regional pastor in RCCG? How many Yoruba does he know in Church of the Living faith and Oyarkilome Church?

Does he think Pastor is being made based on Tribes? If Hausas preferred to be Boko Haram and Igbo decided to be Militants, the RCCG should force them to be Pastor in their Church?

Stupid talk. RCCG does not belong to anybody, or any tribes, but Nigeria belong to everyone and so, it is very stupid of him comparing Church with Nigeria Government.

Idiot

Have you been to the east to know? What makes you think it's about easterners?

I havent been to the east. And I think the O.P is definitely not a northerner.

What's my own proudly Roman Catholic. Church formed by no man but Jesus Christ himself.

so what's the big deal, most chosen pastors are ibo. and so what

And Igbo women keep throwing their own into the toilet two-three months after conception just to claim "purity". It simply means yorubas are not murderers of unborn babies.

I'm not Yoruba as well.

keypad1:
and yorubas keeps impregnating their women before marrying them and they claim to be holy?


Gerrara here mehn.


Dont be wrong am not igbo.

.

GlorifiedTunde:
It is a general phenomena I have noticed. But RCCG is still better.

How many churches founded by igbo men of God have Yoruba pastors?

I think its just better you work with those whom you can understand better.

Besides igbos have a way of turning Church to business, they start striving for posts like its business

I am speaking from experience. You Igbos are not as tolerant as Yorubas.

If given the opportunity, u will populate the entire pastorate with your tribe and send the founder's tribe packing.

You didn't talk like a Christian; believers do NOT generalize. You comfortably lumped a whole tribe into one and labelled them almost traitors.

The issue of tribe should not even be raised in church leadership, except if we do not trust the leadership of the church. That said, I hope tribalism does not play a part in appointment of pastors in the church.

And they keep going to hell. Well done tribe of adultery.

Did you by chance escorted them to hell for you to know they went there?

I've personally noticed something peculiar to the Redeemed Christian church of God which I am not comfortable with. The Bible warns that we should not give chance for people to question our faith our unity in the body of Christ. In other churches, like deeper life, chosen, mountain on fire etc state and regional pastorship have always been of people of different tribes as the case may be,

But it's not so with in Redeemed Christian Church of God were MOST (not ALL about (86%)). of their regional / state pastors are most Yoruba's in almost every state in nigeria. Is it that the people mostly trusted to be Good pastors to handle that PARTICULAR POSITION are from one particular tribe? This is what is happening currently in our Government. Please, constructive criticism no tribalism.

What is your mission in house of God? Where were the Igbos and other tribes when the church was founded, when the Church started barely with nothing. Those people you are envying today has been in the church when thing were not as rossy as it is today. So you want the trustees of the Church to neglect those that have been tested over the years for those that joined when the soup has been perfected. We should always lookout for things that will unite us not irrelevant topic that will put the unity of the Church and the nation in jeopardy.

This observer must be an Antichrist. His likes always see problems wherever they go. Very nonsensical observation

I wonder why this particular tribe always complain of been marginalized in everything.

If you go to most Catholic Churches in Lagos, they are dominated by the Igbos. Does that mean that Catholic Church is Igbo Church? Of course, No. The fact is that most Yorubas have left the Orthodox Churches for the Pentecotal Churches that is why RCCG, Four Square, MFM, Winners and the likes appear to look like Yoruba Churches.

I once went to a Catholic Church that we pioneered in Bariga in 1975, I could hardly see any Yoruba family in that Church. I also went to another Catholic Church in Agege two years ago, I overheard some Yorubas complaining of being marginalized in the church by the Igbos.

As already outlined by other Nairalanders, in RCCG the training path is known and open to all members. My son has already graduated from the discipleship class because that is his choice.

anochuko01:
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

am in region 5 comprising PH nd Bayelsa state nd u??

MrPresident1:
The biggest pastors in Nigeria are all Yoruba too. Kumuyi, Adeboye, Oyedepo, Abiara, Ashimolowo, Olukoya, T. B. Joshua, all Yoruba men. Yoruba are a deeply spiritual people, Yoruba is Judah, Judah has accommodated so many people to himself, Judah is wise, Judah obeyed the commandment to 'go into the world and multiply' and 'make disciples of all men'.

Judah=lineage+grafted.

I thought yoruba fell from the sky?

RCCG started in the South West before going to other parts of the country and most of the people that started it are foundation members from where it started who later went for bible school at the church to become pastor(s).
No black Pope yet and Africans are not complaining. Not even a black Fifa president because it all started from there but when there's a black who is qualified then he can say here I am.

Lamentations 2:1
2 How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger, and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger!

Oduduwa the mythological progenitor of the Yoruba who is also projected as a woman fell from heaven to earth just like the daughter of zion fell from heaven to earth. I hope you can see by this explanation that Yoruba is the real/true daughter of zion, Yoruba is Judah

I dey tell u.

The annoying thing is that these yoloba members are stingy to death. I have been to a church wia an altar call was made, 1 million naira, about 15 Igbo came out, 500k, more Igbo, yolobas started coming out when 25k was mentioned, yet u see them park SUV outside. Very sting in church giving yet tribalistic in sharing position.

I sorry for some of my ppl. Igbos freely and cheerfully gives when it comes t9 church issue.

na your handwork for church be this?
