During the annual RCCG conference, Pastor Enoch Adeboye revealed an incident where one of his spiritual daughters was urged to inflate a road construction project cost from N3 million to N33 million. He highlighted that corruption continues to thrive because Christians, who should be leading by example, are compromised.
Adeboye emphasized the need for Christians to uphold integrity and avoid hypocrisy in their actions. He stated, “We talk about corruption in Nigeria. Why do you think corruption has become so deep? it is because we Christians, who are supposed to be peculiar people, are not making any difference. It’s so difficult to even know who is who.”
Recounting the experience of his daughter, he shared, “One of my daughters got a contract to tar a road in one of the states in Nigeria. She gave a proposal of N3 million, but they asked her to put N33 million. She was surprised, turned down the offer and said I am a child of God, how will I spend the money? They looked at her as if she was somebody who dropped from the sky.”
Another incident involved a different individual affiliated with Adeboye, who was instructed to work on a road that was already tarred. Upon discovering the duplicity, she was advised to take the payment regardless of the unnecessary work. This highlights the prevalence of unethical practices in various sectors.
