Pastor Adejumo Defends Clerics, Dismisses Critics

By 𝔸bdulrazak Tomiwa

Reverend Funke Adejumo has sparked debate by defending wealthy clerics during a program with Pastor Jerry Eze. 

She slammed social media critics who attack religious leaders for their luxury cars and comfortable lifestyles.

Adejumo challenged the idea that pastors rely exclusively on church offerings to fund their lives. She argued that many ministers are silent philanthropists who fund massive charitable projects away from public view.

The cleric cited her own work building homes for lepers as proof of ministerial generosity. She claimed critics are often ignorant of the positive impact and empowerment these leaders provide to their communities.

She warned Christians to stop “dragging” men of God online, noting that other religious groups rarely mock their own leaders.

Adejumo labeled the constant public scrutiny as “nonsense” that distracts from their spiritual mission.

The minister insisted that the primary goal of the clergy is saving souls from eternal damnation. She stated that if people choose to reject the gospel message, they must accept the spiritual consequences.

Questioning the assumptions about her income, she asked, “You think we depend on offering?” She followed with a blunt warning, “If you don’t want to be born again, go to hell,” adding that mockers would soon have their “noses blocked.”
