Daddy Freeze, a Nigerian
broadcaster, has reacted to the alleged plans by Enoch Adeboye, general
overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), to expand his church.
We earlier
reported how the 77-year-old clergyman praised Tony Rapu, a self-acclaimed
social reformer, for suggesting the split of one of RCCG’s congregations to
form four new parishes.
In a new development, Adeboye
allegedly said he intends building an auditorium “as big as Ibadan,” the state
capital of Oyo, before he dies.
It is believed that the clergyman
made the statement while speaking on the third day of his ‘Holy Ghost Congress’
2019, which held at the Redemption Campground, along the Lagos-Ibadan
Expressway.
“If anybody tells you Pastor
Adeboye is dead, don’t believe them because God is going to build us the
auditorium as big as Ibadan. Until that is done, I’m not going anywhere,” he
was quoted to have said.
In a flurry of mixed reaction
that trailed the assertion, Nigerians weighed in on the matter with Daddy
Freeze arguing that the country needs factories and not more church buildings.
“Dear Pastor Adeboye, we need
factories the size of Ibadan NOT churches, we have way too many churches
already. With 10 churches on each street, we have so much religion, so much
hunger, and underdevelopment yet so little love,” Freeze wrote on Instagram.
Taking to the comment box, other
users accused Adeboye of wanting to “expand his business empire” from donations
as other tackled Freeze for his critical stance on the matter while commending
the clergyman.
“How many factories have you
built? Are you not a man like Adeboye? Or you have just 1 ball, and Adeboye has
2? Your mates around the world are doing things better than talking rubbish.
Yeye dey smell,” a Nigerian charged at Freeze.
