Pastor Tobi Adegboyega Defends Lavish Lifestyle as a Strategy to Inspire Youth

Ekwutosblog has gathered that UK-based Nigerian pastor Tobi Adegboyega has defended his penchant for luxury fashion and lavish living, describing it as a deliberate strategy to connect with the younger generation.

In a recent interview with the BBC, the founder of SPAC Nation church explained that his choice of attire is meant to inspire rather than alienate.

“I put on what is right, what connects to the generation I’m speaking to, so they are not attracted to drug dealers,” Adegboyega said, addressing criticism of his flamboyant lifestyle.

The charismatic preacher, often seen wearing designer clothing and accessories, said his image aligns with his mission to engage young people and steer them away from destructive paths.

SPAC Nation, under his leadership, has been credited with helping to remove hundreds of knives from UK streets and tackling gun violence.

However, Adegboyega’s public persona has come under scrutiny amid allegations of financial impropriety and immigration violations.

Reports suggest he lost a legal battle to remain in the UK after overstaying his visitor’s visa, which he obtained upon arriving in the country in 2005.

Adegboyega attributed his failure to regularise his stay to an oversight.

Hundreds of people queued to visit the tomb of the late Pope Francis at the St. Mary Major church in Rome on Sunday.

Mourners began lining up to visit the tomb of the late Pope Francis at the St. Mary Major Basilica in Rome on Sunday.

The church, where the late pope is buried in a simple underground tomb, in keeping with his wishes, opened its doors to the faithful at 7 a.m. Vatican time (0500 GMT).

While many of his predecessors are buried at St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City, Francis chose the basilica because he revered it, oftentimes visiting before and after trips abroad or hospital stays.

Francis became the first pontiff in over a century to be buried outside the grounds of the Vatican, when he was laid to rest in a private ceremony.

Albanese, a Catholic, called Pope Francis “one of the most significant of all the holy fathers,’’ praising his humility and focus on social justice.

Flags on Commonwealth buildings would be lowered to half-mast in tribute on Tuesday, the government said.
