PASTOR TOBI ADEGBOYEGA: A DIFFERENT KIND OF PASTOR

Let me quickly give you guys one gist. That was how my sister Azuka Ogujiuba reached out that she was having a virtual sit down with the famous Pastor Tobi of London the other day. Me, I have heard so much about this pastor that I could not resist the urge to be part of the session. She accepted but warned me that this was her interview and as such I would mostly just be listening. I quickly agreed o and jumped on the talk. After a bit of rescheduling due to the oga’s tight schedule, the session was held. It was on “google meets” and the pastor showed up in one very beautiful brown tunic that looked like something Seal the musician would wear. Since na “mo gbo, mo ya” I do, I cannot begin to give you guys all the gist but to just say sha that the convo which took all of two hours was very rich. The issues touched were the relationship between Church and State, succession in churches, the controversies around his person and church and also his many philanthropic activities. He remained calm, marshalling his points very deliberately and with no sense of hurry and came out of the whole experience with a huge pass mark. I liked the way he marshalled out his points and with the way he delivered without really avoiding some of the very tough questions that Aunty Azuka threw at him. Me, I just sat and listened and asked only the two questions I was allowed to ask. I can’t wait for the full interview to be published because some of his responses were quite explosive. Oya Azuka, over to you o, let’s have the full gist, can’t wait.
