Pastor Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, has come under fire after he revealed why he told his son to sack his secretary.
Adeboye had taken to Twitter to shared a word of advice to couples on how to prevent cheating in their marriage, when the attention of Nigerians got drawn to portion of his message.
A part of his tweets read:
“Today, I will be focusing on the married. It is sad that many married people are still having crushes with persons apart from their spouses. “If there is any fellow aside from your spouse you are admiring unduly, you must see such a person as the devil and get rid of them immediately.”
Pastor Adeboye went on to reveal what he did when his son told him about his desire to resume work on Monday because of his secretary.
He said: “One of my sons once told me that he was always excited to resume in the office every Monday because he would get to see his secretary again. I told him to fire her immediately. Nothing and no one is worth your marriage.”
Below are reactions from Nigerians.
Even people that won't let their partners keep besties of the opposite sex are condemning Pastor Adeboye...lol

I don't agree with his thread but most of you won't say pim if your partner pulls that move.
Infact you'd even feel "special" talmbout "cut him/her off for me"
Abegi!
My sister if you chase away your help cos you feel she might tempt your hubby then you have no right to blast Pastor Adeboye. Like the only crime your help commited is developing breast and growing into a beautiful woman. Everyone is woke on social media ,hypocrites..

Ur spiritual leaders are also disconnected from reality
That's why In a period of mass youth unemployment
Baba thought he could post that rubbish.
I mean when church funds your lifestyle., Why should you care about a youth?
I just read Pastor Adeboye thread and I am not satisfied with the man sacking the woman coz he couldn’t control himself, instead he could have helped her secure a job in another place or change her dept and as for the other tweets below, it’s facts but that first tweet.....Nahhh!

Pastor Adeboye asked his son to fire his secretary because he couldn't control the ecstasy of working around her.

An innocent woman lost her job for nothing and people are replying, "More grace to Daddy."
I don't understand, grace to fire more innocent people??
I'm not even surprised people are defending Pastor Adeboye.

It's the norm.
Nigerians will contort themselves into unbelievable positions b4 they'll admit any fault in their religious leaders.
Let me catch u idiots tweeting about the oppression of the poor again on this app.
Let's flip the script, Let 's assume that the person Pastor Adeboye's son is attracted to is the boss.

Would the advice be to resign? Or does it just concern people that work for you?
If we start to fire everybody based on crush.....most pretty women and good looking men will be jobless. Pastor Adeboye yarned trash right there....so lets move on. ????????

People that went to school are under Pastor Adeboye’s tweet quoting Mark 9vs47 “If your eye causes you to sin, get rid of it.“
— DANNY WALTER ???? (@Cutewalterr) January 29, 2020
Technically, it’s his Son’s Eyes that’s causing him to Sin, God didn’t say “if another person’s eyes....”
Your own two damn eyes. It’s a YOU problem
This is really somehow Pastor Adeboye has said absolutely everything wrong in that thread why should you make someone unemployed “fire secretary” that has done nothing wrong. Why should she suffer for the mans lost. DADDY GO sha
