“I Need 10 People To Drop N1B Each & 100 Of My Children To Drop N100M Each”. Pastor Adeboye (video)
A surprising video clip of Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has gone viral after he reportedly called on members during a live service to donate substantial sums—asking for ₦1 billion from ten members, and ₦100 million from another hundred. The sensational request has since ignited widespread debate online and in religious circles. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
In the trending video, Pastor Adeboye stated:
“I need at least 10 of my children who can give me at least one billion naira each, and another 100 of my children who can give me 100 million naira each…”
The announcement left congregants—and social media users—stunned, with many questioning whether such lofty requests align with spiritual values or inadvertently exploit religious influence.
This isn’t the first time Adeboye has been associated with financial controversy. Back in 2017, he was recorded requesting donations from wealthy members—those who could afford it—to contribute ₦1 billion. That incident drew sharp criticism from public figures like Daddy Freeze who questioned the ethics of such targeted financial appeal.
While the church’s mega projects—schools, hospitals, and digital infrastructure—are often cited in response, critics argue that spiritual platforms should focus on moral teaching, not financial displays.
