Nigerians Attack Pastor Adeboye For Saying ‘No-Virus Can Come Near The Children Of God’

A statement made by the General Overseer of the RCCG, Adeboye has left tongues wagging on social media.

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Pastor E. A Adeboye has been tongue-lashed by Nigerians for saying children of God are exempted from contracting the deadly Coronavirus disease. Coronavirus which originated in Wuhan China in December 2019 has spread to over 30 countries with a rising death toll of over 5,000 people. Last week, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the virus a pandemic. Countries like America and those under the EU have shut their borders to protect their citizens. However,

Pastor Adeboye in a video shared online said; “I want to assure you that there is no virus that can come near you at all because it is written that those that dwell in the secret place of the highest, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I believe that this is a time for God to show you clearly that there is a difference between those who serve him wholeheartedly and those who do not”. Nigerians are angry that Adeboye implied that the people who have tested positive or died from the virus are not children of God. 

Hi, I'm Jadesola and if you've been here a while, you'll know that Ekomiami has always existed without a face. That changes now. I founded this platform in Lagos in 2018, originally as a space for entertainment and celebrity news. Over time and across continents my world grew bigger and so did my curiosity. Today, Ekomiami is what it was always quietly becoming: a home for travel, food, arts, and culture, told through the eyes of someone navigating the world from a very particular vantage point. With a background in content and media production. I write and create about the places I go, the food I find, and the experiences that make travel feel like more than a holiday. You'll find me in Bordeaux wine bars, on Albanian coastlines, in English market towns, and at restaurant tables taking notes between courses. The name "Ekomiami", "Lagos to Miami" has always been about movement, ambition, and showing up somewhere new. Seven years in, I'm stepping out from behind it. Welcome to the journey, properly.
