Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the
Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, has come under attack over his
statement on Monday advising young women to learn from his wife.
He added that it is a terrible
thing for a husband to see his wife as the head, adding that the man is the
head of the home.
His comment has stirred reactions
from feminists on social media who saw his statement as a way of diminishing
the female gender and airing his masculinity.
According to some, Pastor Adeboye
should have used his message to celebrate his wife’s achievement rather than
talk about submission.
Here are some comments gathered from Twitter:
@_Toseen “if marriage is going to
be how Baba Adeboye described it, then f*ck it. I cannot can.”
@Hafizbello “Using your wife’s
birthday to air your fragile masculinity to be superior is one of the signs
we’ve got the wrong role models. Just tweet “stay jiggy” next time.”
@BForL3 “I went through this
thread expecting to see her achievements. Legacies this woman has built,
stories of lives she has impacted! but no I saw a man talking about submission
eww!
@Seun_oj “Pastor Adeboye is not setting standard for anyone,he’s
only expressing how submissive his wife has been these past few years.”
@GemmaOkpe “It worked then
because they believed that was how it should be. Things keep changing, change
is constant. They did it then doesn’t mean it’s right. Mutual respect is key.”
@Jules “I’m literally
disappointed. Instead of eulogising the woman. You make it about you and how
submissive she is. I literally cringed reading this.”
@Ebelee “Do you know how ugly it
is that you need to reduce someone to feel worthy. Everyday “we rise by lifting
others” until it’s your wife and then you rise by reducing her and removing her
head so you can replace it with your own. That Pastor Adeboye thread is
horrible on many levels.”
@Lettertojack “Pastor Adeboye is
not wrong in how he thought was the best way to celebrate his wife. But we have
to do better, we must unlearn celebrating women (wives) based on how much they
can serve us alone, we should celebrate them on what they have accomplished
too.”
@Mochievious “Pastor Adeboye
should have just said “happy birthday flesh of my flesh” and keep it moving.
Now we know he can’t do basic things like feed himself and trim his nails. “
@Kcnaija “If you don’t like how
Pastor Adeboye and wife live their lives and how they are a model for greater
number of people, you can take after Will Smith and Jada and entangle. Stop the
attack on conservative Christian values in the name of wokeness, modernism and
liberalism.”
@TifeOfficial “Normally,Women are
supposed to be submissive to their Husbands,Pastor Adeboye was just stating
facts and Appreciating his wife for being submissive,so it’s stupid to insult
him,when he was just being right. Plus:if he was a terrible Husband,submission
would have been hard for her.”
@SoniaEzee “Who trims her nail,
who’s her cheerleader, she’s not deserving of that.On her freeking birthday you
couldn’t give the woman a break you just made the whole thing about yourself,
she basically exists through your shadow. Her purpose in life is to serve you
all the days of her life.”
@FavouredSinner “Pastor Adeboye
just showed you what a real Christian marriage should look like.If you are a
Christian and you are a feminist, you are in a wrong religion.What is in the
Bible is the opposite of what feminism is all about, and Man is just practicing
his religion.”
