“Show us how to get a refund?” – netizens react as Pastor Adeboye apologises over his comment on Tithing
By Mario Deepromoter
Netizens in Nigeria are reacting after Nigeria clergyman Pastor E.A Adeboye tendered a public apology over his comment on Tithing.
In a video captured online, the Redeemed Christian Church of God founder admitted that his statement saying those who don’t pay tithe wouldn’t make heaven is wrong as it isn’t stated in the Bible. He noted how what the Bible talks about is following peace with all men and holiness without which no man shall see God.
His apology was well received by netizens who praised him for his maturity.
One Sandy Coco wrote, “I love the fact he acknowledged his mistake and apologized in public. Kudos to him
One Engineer Tina wrote, “A pastor who acknowledges a mistake? Even the Bible encourages that, it was good of him
One Ayomi__X wrote, “I applaud this generation..now, pastors and elders come out to address things that they said wrongly. On a normal day, they will just overlook it and move on
One ___Joicee wrote, “A true man of God accepts his mistakes
One Donracy wrote, “It takes courage to accept your mistakes in public, especially when you are holding a great position. God bless you, sir
One Sober Drunk88 wrote, “Where can we apply for a refund?”.
A year back, popular clergyman and founder of Deeper Life, Pastor Kumuyi, had shared an important sermon to Christians, advising Christians to give their offerings to the pøor and unemployed in the community. Kumuyi advised Christians not to spend money on building churches but also help their poor neighbours who cannot afford basic life needs.
In December, Charly Boy posed an important question to Nigerians on the essence of religion as he reacted to a viral video of Pastor Adeboye demanding offerings ranging from N100 million to N1 billion. Calling religion a business, he stated that most clergymen, whom he considers as God of men, are into Jesus’ enterprise.

…hails SC verdicts

The apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has called on the Rivers State House of Assembly to begin throwing articles of impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminialayi Fubara immediately.
In a statement issued on February 28, 2025, Ohanaeze hailed the Supreme Court of Nigeria’s verdict, which ordered the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Accountant General of the Federation to halt financial allocations to the Rivers State Government.
The group said the ruling is a victory for the suffering people of Rivers State and a decisive stand against executive recklessness.
“Ohanaeze Ndigbo heralds this judgment as an end to the unconstitutional actions that have defined Governor Fubara’s administration.
“We call on the Rt. Hon. Martin Chike Amaewhule-led Rivers State House of Assembly to begin impeachment proceedings immediately,” the statement signed by Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, Deputy President General, Ohanaeze Ndigbo and Chief Chinenyeze Thompson Ohia – National Public Secretary, read.
The group accused Fubara of multiple impeachable offences, including demolishing the Rivers State House of Assembly complex, thereby obstructing 27 lawmakers from performing their duties.
The group also accused the governor of attempting to govern with only four legislators, a move that undermines democracy and hiding behind presidential immunity to engage in unconstitutional actions that cripple governance.
The Supreme Court’s ruling, delivered by Justice Emmanuel Akomaye Agim and a five-member panel led by Justice Musa Uwani Aba-Aji, declared Fubara’s actions illegal and ordered the immediate reinstatement of the 27 affected lawmakers.
Ohanaeze urged the Rivers State Assembly to take swift action, establish a disciplinary committee led by the Chief Judge of Rivers State, and restore democratic order.
“The time for decisive action is now. The integrity of our democracy depends on it,” the statement concluded.

Jubilation as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, arrived in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Friday night hours after Supreme Court verdict.
Recall the Supreme Court ordered the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to stop the release of funds to the Rivers State government forthwith until a proper House of Assembly is constituted.
The court also ordered Martin Amaewhule to resume sitting immediately with all elected members.
The Supreme Court has ruled that its order will remain in effect until a properly constituted House of Assembly is established in Rivers State.
The apex court also barred the Accountant General of the Federation and other government agencies from disbursing funds to the Rivers State government until it complies with previous court rulings.
In a judgment delivered by Justice Emmanuel Akomaye, the five-member panel unanimously dismissed a cross-appeal filed by Governor Siminalayi Fubara, which challenged the legitimacy of the House of Assembly led by Speaker Martin Amaewhule.
In the wake of the court judgment favouring the camp of the immediate past governor of Rivers State, Wike’s aide, Lere Olayinka, in a post via X, shared the video of his principal, who was being welcomed at the airport by a crowd of supporters.
