Pastor Tobi Adegboyega stated that he does not gather tithes or offerings.
Pastor Tobi Adegboyega, the founder of Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church (SPAC Nation), has recently made headlines by revealing that his church does not engage in the traditional practice of collecting tithes and offerings. Instead, Adegboyega attributes the church’s financial sustainability to his entrepreneurial ventures and investments in various businesses across the United Kingdom.
In an interview, Adegboyega articulated his philosophy on wealth and community upliftment. He emphasized his commitment to transforming lives, stating, “I have brought people from prisons and made them multi-millionaires,” highlighting the church’s focus on personal development and economic empowerment.
The pastor’s approach is characterized by a strong emphasis on supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Over the past two years, he has invested in 250 SMEs in Nigeria, providing each with one million naira to foster growth and sustainability. This investment strategy is not merely a financial endeavor; it reflects Adegboyega’s belief in nurturing potential and creating opportunities for individuals to thrive.
Adegboyega’s model challenges conventional church financing methods, positioning SPAC Nation as a community-oriented organization that prioritizes people over profits. By fostering entrepreneurship and investing in local businesses, the church aims to create a robust support system that benefits its members and the wider community.
In conclusion, Pastor Tobi Adegboyega’s innovative approach to church funding through business investments rather than traditional tithes and offerings offers a refreshing perspective on the role of faith-based organizations in economic development. His commitment to uplifting individuals and supporting entrepreneurship underscores a broader vision of community empowerment and social responsibility.

Mike Ejeagha’s Eldest Son Explains the Reason for Burial of his Father within 24 hours of his Death.
Highlife music has lost a significant figure. Chief Mike Ejeagha, the celebrated Nigerian musician known for his hit “Gwo Gwo Gwo,” was laid to rest on Saturday in his hometown of Umuagba, Imezi-Owa, Enugu State. This occurred less than 24 hours after his passing at the age of 95 due to a prolonged illness.
Ejeagha’s rapid burial was in accordance with his express wishes, as revealed by his eldest son, Emmanuel Ejeagha. In a statement to the News Agency of Nigeria, Emmanuel explained that his father had requested a swift interment without embalmment. This wish was honored by his family, kindred, and with the consent of Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah. While the burial has been concluded, funeral ceremonies will be held at a later date.
Governor Mbah mourned Ejeagha as a uniquely gifted artist whose musical storytelling and cultural impact transcended generations. His passing marks a profound loss for his family, Enugu State, the music industry, and the nation.
The Nigerian highlife music scene mourns the loss of Chief Mike Ejeagha, who passed away on Friday evening at the age of 95. Confirmed by his eldest son, Emma, the legendary musician died at the 32 Garrison Hospital in Enugu after a prolonged illness.
Born on April 4, 1930, in Enugu State, Ejeagha, popularly known as “Gentleman Mike Ejeagha,” achieved prominence between the 1960s and 1980s. His distinctive style of Igbo folk music produced enduring hits such as Omekagu, Uwa Mgbede Ka Mma, and Ka Esi Le Onye Isi Oche (Gwogwogwongwo).
Ejeagha’s contribution to Igbo culture is immense, with over 300 recordings archived in the National Archives of Nigeria. A recent viral dance challenge in 2024, featuring his 1983 track “Ka Esi Le Onye Isi Oche,” introduced his work to a new generation.
His passing marks the end of an era, but Mike Ejeagha’s legacy remains firmly etched in Nigerian highlife music.
