VeryDarkMan reacts to Pastor Adeboye’s apology, calls out Pastor David Ibieyomie
Social media activist Martins Ortse, also known as VeryDarkMan, criticized religion for “blinding and finishing” Nigerians and Africans.
The criticism comes after Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God apologized for his previous claim that Christians who do not pay tithe will not make it to heaven.
Adeboye admitted that it was a mistake and clarified that the Bible emphasizes peaceful and holy living as the key to reaching heaven, not just paying tithe.
Reacting via his Instagram post, VeryDarkMan said: “I’m happy about what Papa Adeboye revealed so I’m waiting for all those pastors like David Ibieyomie that preach about giving tithe.
“The number one man of all the religious people in Nigeria has come out to apologize that he’s sorry for saying if you don’t pay tithe you won’t make heaven; that it’s not in the Bible.
“Which other things have they told us is not in the Bible? That’s what I’m concerned about; how many things have they manipulated that is not in the Bible? I’m glad that Papa Adeboye came out to say these things, so imagine the ones that would come out to apologise and have manipulated the people, they have twisted the right words of the Bible to suit their own narratives.
“Religion has blinded and finished us in Africa and I will keep talking about how messed up religion has made us, carry your Bible. I’m waiting for those who will come tomorrow and say prayers won’t move Nigeria forward. I hope God will touch papa and the tithe collected will be used to touch the people of the country by creating jobs for millions.”
