Pastor Tobi Adegboyega has opened up on why he deliberately exposed female church members to luxury lifestyles, revealing that the move was aimed at preventing them from being easily influenced by wealthy men.
In a video circulating online, the head pastor of SPAC Nation explained that members were taken to expensive hotels, restaurants and other high-end locations to show them that such experiences were attainable.
According to him, the strategy was particularly important for young women, whom he wanted to develop strong principles and avoid idolising celebrities simply because of their wealth.
“What I did with SPAC Nation members is that we exposed them to nice places, nice cars and hotels. So a girl child will not be carried away with all of these things. You will not idolise a rapper or a footballer and lose your principles because your leader already took you there.
SPAC Nation goes to where 0.001% have access to. I’ll make a female member talk to the chairman of Rosewood Hotel, so that if you do something, it’s because you want to do it, not that a guy made you feel like you will never experience this without him,” he said.
Adegboyega explained that the church also held services, lunches and feeding programmes in expensive locations, including Rosewood and Dorchester.
He stressed that the initiative was designed to give the girl child confidence and expose her to a standard of living she could aspire to achieve independently.
“We did churches, lunch, the feeding programmes in expensive places on purpose. So now again, the girl child has confidence. She’s not going to be following a big man around,” he added.
His comments have drawn attention to his unconventional approach to empowering young women and shaping their perception of wealth and success.
