Controversial singer Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has reacted to Pastor Enoch Adeboye’s recent apology regarding his previous comments on tithing.
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God had apologized for stating that those who don’t pay tithes won’t make it to heaven. Adeboye clarified his position, saying, “I’m apologizing for saying, ‘If you don’t pay tithe, you won’t make it to heaven.’ I’m sorry, that’s wrong, and it’s not in the Bible. What the Bible says is, ‘Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see God.’”
In response, Charly Boy expressed that Adeboye’s apology was meaningless unless he returned the tithes collected under that teaching.
“I truly believe that a lot of the fakest people are found in churches, my opinion not yours. Your apology don’t mean shit unless you promise to return the tithe money them give you for mumu people wey wan bribe dia way to heaven,” he wrote.
Charly Boy further criticized church practices, adding, “Stop giving ur CONGREGATION ridiculous Lamba’s. Sometimes the nicest people you meet may have bodies covered with Tattoos, the most bitter, judgemental, envious and wicked people all go to church on Sundays.”
Referring to past statements made by Adeboye, Charly Boy said, “Since your announcement decades ago, that people should trow away their TVs, I had always known that your way no pure as person wey dey ‘drink tea with God.’”
He concluded his remarks by calling Adeboye’s apology insincere: “There is nothing worse than a fault-finding, finger-pointing Pastor who is as fake as the blings of a wanna be artist. Apology? When you know exactly what you’re doing. Nonsense Dia Father’s.”
