Published

Nigerians on Twitter have dismissed a story narrated by Leke, the son of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Enoch Adejare Adeboye, of how he made his first million by selling wristbands and rubbers.

Leke also a Pastor, had disclosed in an interview on School of Wealth (SOW) that he made his first one million selling rubber.

He said that selling promotional gift items like rubber wristbands to a big Christian event with a small profit of N50 or N100 get to add up.

Leke said, “Promotional gift items for those that are doing branding wristbands are just rubber. But if I sell enough of those rubbers with a very tiny margin profit of ₦50 or ₦100 at a big Christian event, it adds up.”

Reacting, a tweep, Xperience_Snr said, “I don’t think is that hard to make a million naira from selling a “Wristband” among an African Church Congregation that’s over 5 million People. Especially when you tell them is for their Protection and Prosperity. An African Church biggest selling points.”

Dimeji Joseph said, “No doubt, especially when you have the monopoly of production and that huge number of patronage.”

Meanwhile, AimThaMachine_said, “If my father was Pastor EA Adeboye, I will sell rubber wristband, wristwatch, handkerchief, t-shirts, packed shirts, trousers, vest, briefs and boxers, braziers and everything I can think of by inscribing RCCG logo on it and I’ll become a Billionaire.

Samwellsg said, “They go around in armoured vehicles, wristband protection is for the members.”

Shozy said, ” I’ll believe him if it’s redeem church wrist band. They’ll buy more from him, with believe it will have special blessings, he’s the G.O son and a pastor. If he said he make 50 million off it I’ll still believe him.

Pastor A. E. Adeboye

Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye the general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, says Nigeria is already fighting many wars and should not engage in more hostilities.

Adeboye spoke during the 71st RCCG Holy Ghost Convention 2023.

He encouraged the congregation to pray for Nigeria against war, saying he knows what war looks like and he prefers peace to war.

”We are already fighting many wars in Nigeria, wars against kidnappers and war against terrorists; there are still places in Nigeria today when people go to bed they are not sure they won’t be killed before tomorrow morning”.

”We are still fighting wars against some people. If you are a farmer and you plant, to them, what you have planted is food for their cows, and their cows come to eat your harvest, and you complain they kill you.”

”We are still fighting war against hunger, etc. fighting mysterious wars.”

”Surely we don’t want more wars, we want to win the ones we are fighting, and we don’t want fresh wars within or outside our borders.”

”For this reason, we don’t pray for war.”
