“ Why I am the Richest man on earth and more powerful than Presidents”- Pastor Adeboye

Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye has declared that as Gods representative on earth, he is the richest and most powerful man on earth.

The general overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God made this assertion during the just concluded Annual Convention of the Redeem Christian Church of God inside the redemption camp.

He illustrated this with an analogy that when he was discussing with a president, the president claimed he is more powerful than him in the sense that if he imposed a curfew, the clergy would be bound by it. Daddy G.O has he is widely known said he didn’t argue with him bit informed him that does the president has the power to cure diseases, heal the lame or opened the eyes of the blind?

The charismatic soft-spoken general overseer of the church also reportedly made a holistic confession urging everyone to disregard the summation of reputable international wealth valuers, Forbes International Magazine’s declaration of renowned Microsoft guru, Bill Gates, as the richest person on earth as very far from being true.

He simply declared himself as the richest person on the surface of the earth.

To save you from asking the how and why, the well respected, unassuming preacher, broke it down to the countless number of lives and souls he has touched, saved and won the world over for the gospel are his wealth. He further stated that whatever material thing Forbes richest’s man might need will always be achieved from his estimated wealth, but in his own case whatever material requirements he needs to acquire will always be supplied to him in multiples by several thousands of people at no cost whatsoever to him, just by lending voice to needs. He therefore charged the congregation to tap into this, by, making soul winning a priority for divine wealth. “You can become the richest man in the world by winning souls, keep winning souls and your wealth will overflow,” he said.

Buratai Urges ACF to Lead Bold Northern Agenda, Boost Food Security at 25th Anniversary

BURATAI URGES ECOWAS UNITY, CALLS FOR RETURN OF SAHEL STATES AT VON FORUM

ABUJA – In a powerful appeal for regional stability, former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. TY Buratai (rtd), has called on ECOWAS and the African Union (AU) to prioritize the return of the Association of Sahel States (AES) to ensure the survival of West African integration.

Speaking Thursday at the Voice of Nigeria (VON) Forum 2026 in Abuja, Buratai warned that the region’s progress could become a “mirage” without the inclusion of Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger Republic.

A Legacy of Sacrifice

Buratai Tasks Estate Valuers on Ethics, Tech Responsibility to Boost National Security

Buratai highlighted Nigeria’s historic role as the “unshakable anchor” of the sub-region. He pointed to Nigeria’s decades of leadership in ECOMOG missions across Liberia, Sierra Leone, The Gambia, and Guinea-Bissau as evidence of the nation’s commitment.

”Nigeria has sacrificed and invested in blood, treasure, and diplomacy to defend democracy,” Buratai stated. “Our stability is inseparable from the security of our neighbours.”

The Path to Unity

The General urged ECOWAS to deepen its engagement with the African Union to bridge the current diplomatic rift with the AES nations. He emphasized that the collective security of West Africa depends on a unified front, noting that democracy and regional safety are “two sides of the same coin.”

”The unity of ECOWAS cannot be complete without Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger Republic. Without unity, progress in the region may be a mirage,” Buratai cautioned.

Celebrating 51 Years of VON

The forum also served as a celebration of Voice of Nigeria’s 51st anniversary. Buratai lauded the broadcaster as a “Nigerian voice with an African heart,” praising its professionalism and pan-African vision.

He paid tribute to veteran journalists, including the late Mohammed Okorejor and retired director Ben Shamang, while commending the current Director General for revitalizing the agency.

The retired General concluded his message with a call to strengthen regional institutions, urging leaders to honor the legacy of ECOWAS through renewed cooperation and institutional integrity.
