“I’m Fully Funded by My Wife’s £100,000 Salary” — Pastor Tobi Adegboyega Makes Controversial Confession Amid Legal Battle
Pastor Tobi Adegboyega, the founder of the Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church (SPAC Nation), has left the public stunned with his admission that his wife, Mary Olubukola Alade, fully finances his lifestyle. In an extraordinary statement made during his defense at an immigration tribunal, Adegboyega revealed that Mary, who earns a remarkable £100,000 annually at AON, is the sole provider for their household. This admission comes amid ongoing legal issues surrounding the pastor’s immigration status in the UK, where he arrived on a visitor’s visa in 2005 and has since overstayed, seeking to remain on human rights grounds.
The tribunal heard how Adegboyega, despite his first-class law degree from Nigeria, has chosen to devote his life to running the church and helping others, all without drawing any financial compensation from the church itself. Instead, he relies entirely on his wife’s earnings. Defending his extravagant lifestyle, including wearing designer clothes and driving luxury cars, Adegboyega argued that these were deliberate choices meant to inspire his largely youthful congregation. He explained that his personal wealth, including his flashy possessions, is funded by Mary, and he sees it as an important way to show young people that success can be achieved through legitimate means, such as entrepreneurship.
In response to the ongoing legal battles over his potential deportation, Adegboyega rejected the claims and vowed that no level of persecution would stop him from continuing his mission. His bold statements have sparked further controversy, raising questions about the financial dynamics within the church and the role of his wife in funding his lifestyle, even as he preaches to a young audience about financial success.
The entire situation has ignited debates online, with some praising Adegboyega’s transparency and his commitment to his church’s mission, while others question the ethics of his reliance on his wife’s substantial income. How this will unfold remains to be seen, but one thing is clear—Pastor Adegboyega’s life, both personal and professional, is anything but ordinary.
