Seaking Blasts RCCG Pastor Adeboye Over Prayer Comment on Nigeria's Crisis: "Na Businessman"

TikTok influencer and activist Seaking has berated the general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, over his viral comment about the current situation of the country.

It would be recalled that Adeboye went viral after he declared that the power of prayer had been the key factor preventing Nigeria from falling into a deeper crisis.

The clergyman commented on Sunday, June 1, during the monthly Thanksgiving service and special prayers for security and paramilitary personnel at the RCCG national headquarters in Ebute-Metta, Lagos.

In his words,

“Some say, ‘You’ve been praying and fasting — where is the result?’ I laugh. If we had not prayed, Nigeria would have been in a far worse state. Let’s not stop.”

The activist, who described Adeboye as part of the problems in Africa, queried what the clergyman's prayer has done for people being killed in the country.

According to Seaking, Adeboye can preach the same sermon he shares with Nigeria in developed countries like the United States, the United Kingdom and China, as they don't need prayers to keep their lives going.

"All you do is pray pray. You can't go to other countries and preach the same sermon you share with Nigerians, you can't go there to tell them this nonsense because they don't use prayers to get their lives going on," Seaking said in the part in the video.

Sharing the video on his social media timeline, Seaking wrote in a caption,

"Pastor Adeboye is part of our problem in Africa."

Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that SeaKing tackled VeryDarkMan's close friend, Dkokopee, over his role in the protest to secure the critic's release.

SeaKing, who appeared to have a different stance about VeryDarkMan's arrest, questioned Dkokopee's loyalty to the social media critic.
