How my husband survived internal politics as RCCG General Overseer – Mummy G.O
Everybody calls her Mummy G.O. Many have even forgotten her real name. Others never even bothered to know her real name. They all call her simply by the name Mummy G.O. It’s a name that, though many wives of General Overseers of several churches now bear, it was made popular by this virtuous woman and wife of one Africa’s biggest and most revered men of God.
Her name is Pastor (Mrs) Foluke Adenike Adeboye, a televangelist, a conference speaker and shining light to millions of Christian women, while her husband is Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God. She helped her husband transform RCCG to the phenomenal height it has reached today. Through thick and thin, they endured the most torrid moments of their evangelical careers and today, they are probably the most adored and followed African couple on the planet.
Those who know this incredible woman will tell you she is one of the most compassionate and unassuming woman of God you will possibly ever meet. She does not carry herself like she is the wife of the General Overseer of the biggest church in the world. She is quiet. She is soft spoken. She is strong. She does not compromise righteousness and holiness. With Mummy G.O., it is either you’re fully for Christ or you’re against Him. And if you’re not for God, you can’t be her friend. Her strength of character is one of the reasons why Pastor Adeboye never jokes with her. Apart from his God, Pastor Folu is his world. She is his pillar, the woman with whom he has survived the most grueling days of his life.
Mummy G.O. rarely grants interviews. She rarely speaks openly about her husband or the special relationship that exists between them. But she broke the rule not so long ago when she revealed a whole lot of things many do not know about her beloved husband, Pastor Adeboye.
When asked to describe his personality, she said, “Number one, he is simple, humble and very hardworking, which we can all see even after he gave his life to Christ. The kind of man he is has really helped the work of the gospel in RCCG. He was very hard working. I used to call him a stubborn achiever. Whatever he put his mind on, he will make sure he achieves it.”
What did she see in him when she got married to him? “When we got married I could see some kindness in him. I could see compassion. As a teacher then, and he is still a teacher now, he used to be with his students, especially when they were in the boarding house. He was always running up and down to make sure they were healed back in the secondary where we were working immediately we got married. He showed a lot of kindness not just to the boarding school students but even at home. He is very caring. His activity before he became the General Overseer, as a university lecturer, is related to the university life. He was always lecturing. One good thing about him was that hardly would you find any of his students that failed their exams because of the way he teaches. I myself had interest in mathematics because of the way he teaches. In those days at the university, he would stay with the students until they pass the exams because he will teach, he will give examples, he will come back again until you understand the concept. So, that kind of activity which he brought into the gospel helped him to grow. Once he found he did not understand something after he became born again, he will study the bible like he was studying for his Phd. and that has really helped him to grow and look for more avenues to know more about the depth of the word of God. He has shared the testimony of how we went to America and people were asking for some things and asked for a double portion of the knowledge of God’s word, that is how much his depth and love to know more about Christ was and which he carried until today.”
What about the Christ Redeemers Ministry, how did it come about, she was asked? “It was the Festac77 when the nation decided to hold a particular festival for all the customs of other nations. We felt it would bring a lot of idolatry to Nigeria and we decided to do something. And as God led him, we decided on what to do which led to the congress. I always tell people that the congress did not start in 1978, which is the Lekki 78 that most people know, it started in 1977 and the first one was held at Ilesa Grammar School and that first conference brought together Secondary Schools students in that area, and so many others who were not even with the secondary school, to know more about Christ. The success of the first one encouraged us to start doing it in most major cities in Nigeria like Ilorin, Enugu, Asaba, Portharcourt, and so on. And each year we had the congress, RCCG will be established, and that has continued up till today.”
When she was asked to describe the kind of person Pastor Adeboye is at home, Pastor Folu said: “He is a family man. Despite all his engagements in his ministerial work, he’s still close to his family members, and with mine as well. As a husband, everything that is expected of a Christian husband, he is up to it. And he does it with passion, its not that he just does it because that’s what is expected of him, he does more and I thank God for that. That has brought stability to the work he is doing.”
“He always has time for his children. He never says because of the pastorial work he is too busy for them, he ensures he devotes time for his children. And as a grand father, his grand children love him a lot. They are always running in and out of his room anytime they want. He creates time for them when he’s available and they love him.”
“As a pastor, he pastors us in the house before he goes out to pastor the church. We enjoy his teaching even the Morning devotion. We enjoy his digging deep in the morning devotion. He will dig deep more than he does in the church for us. The areas where a father should admonish a daughter or son, areas where a friend should admonish a friend, everything will come out at morning devotion everyday for us. So, when he’s not around we always miss him.”
What has impressed her the most about this incredible man known as Pastor Adeboye?
“One of the things that impressed me the most about him was the fact that he was very hardworking. Like I told you, I used to call him Daddy Stubborn Achiever. When he wanted to do anything, he will make sure he followed it to a reasonable point. If he is focused on doing something and he is leaving the house for any assignment, if he forgets something and you run after him to tell him, he won’t even look back, he will just tell you I will come back to see it. And this has taught me that, I too, if I want to be a helpmate and meet up with him, I must match with the pace at which he’s working and doing whatever he is doing so that there won’t be much gap between the two of us.”
What kind of opposition did they experience when Pastor Adeboye was made General Overseer of the RCCG?
“There was no opposition physically, but in their body language, action, the adage says action speaks louder than words, there was opposition. You could see it in the body language of the people we met there. And you cannot blame them. Somebody that has been in the church for over twenty something years and somebody just came from nowhere, somebody who has only spent maybe about seven years, now becoming the General Overseer. We expected the opposition. But thank God for the spirit of humility God has given him and the endurance to endure those times because it was not easy. But finally, we got over it. We are still getting over it because the area where we expected we would receive the attack and opposition is where we received it, which I’m not going to mention. Some of these things are still coming up once in a while but with the help of God we are overcoming them because we knew, we were convinced, that it was God that called us. I know this because three times God showed me, myself, so that is why we can’t go back and we can’t complain because our lives now belong to Jesus and as a result, whatever God says we should do is what we will do. We can’t run back, we can’t say no to our maker.”
And how has she been able to cope, staying righteous and obedient to God’s word for several decades running?
“That is the principle of holiness. You can’t compromise because in that house, everything about our lives is about making heaven. That is our ultimate goal. Whatever it will cost, we always pray to God to give us the grace to abide with it. There is no reason to come this far, you think about where you are coming from for the past forty years, through thick and thin and then forget what God has sent you to do. But today, thank God we are seeing the glory now. You can’t compromise Holiness, you can’t compromise it with any other thing because you want to make heaven. So, after all these ups and downs, times of suffering, times of joy, you can see the reward at the end of the day. To make heaven, that is our ultimate goal.”

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has articulated a profound commentary on the dynamics of political power in Nigeria, expressing concern over the lengths to which politicians will go, including soliciting and even bribing voters, to secure electoral support.
In a recent sermon, Adeboye illustrated the stark disparity between leadership and the general populace, comparing the scenario to individuals at the base of a mountain consuming water that has already been utilized by those at its summit. He emphasized that the privileges associated with political positions elucidate why individuals in pursuit of power often resort to extreme measures to attain it.
“People will drink from the water that the one on top of the mountain had washed into,” Adeboye said. “I’m sure we are not so naive as not to know why people who want to be our rulers come begging us and at times trying to even pay us to vote for them to be presidents and Governors.”
According to the cleric, the allure of political office lies in the elevated status and privileges it offers. Once elected, leaders enjoy exclusive rights and protection that place them above the very citizens who entrusted them with power.
“The moment you become president, shall we say, or governor—hey, when you want to pass, they will close the road for you until you have gone,” Adeboye explained. “Those of us who voted for you, we have to wait.”
He further criticized the double standards in access to basic amenities, noting that power outages and other public failures hardly affect those in authority. “We all know—you don’t have to be told—that if they say there is power failure, it’s not installed in the homes of those at the top,” he remarked.
Adeboye’s message underscored his recurring emphasis on humility and service in leadership. He warned that the pursuit of political office should not be about personal gain but about responsibility and sacrifice. His remarks resonate at a time when Nigerians continue to express frustration over corruption, misuse of power, and the growing gap between leaders and ordinary citizens.
By highlighting the sharp contrast between the experiences of rulers and the ruled, Adeboye sought to remind politicians that their positions are meant to serve the people, not to lord over them. He stressed that true leadership must reflect justice, compassion, and accountability.
The cleric’s sermon also served as a subtle admonition to voters, urging them to recognize their power and responsibility during elections. While politicians may beg or bribe for votes, Adeboye’s message implied that citizens must look beyond temporary inducements and focus on the long-term consequences of their electoral choices.

I Don’t Have Much Time Left, No One Will See My Body – Prophet Odumeje Predicts His Own Death
Leader of Mountain of Holy Ghost Intervention and Deliverance Ministry, Prophet Chukwuemeka Cyril Ohanaemere, popularly known as Odumeje, has made some predictions about his death.
Naija News reports that during a recent church service, Odumeje revealed that his time on earth is limited and predicted that no one would see his corpse when he dies.
The father of five described himself as one of the strongest spiritual men in the world, second to the late TB Joshua.
He claimed that his purpose is not about living long but fulfilling a divine mission.
The controversial cleric explained that his ministry exists to remove doubts about Jesus Christ, stressing that his message centres on the belief in one God and the power of Jesus.
“I am the strongest spirtual man in the world, after the general ‘Emmanuel’ TB Joshua. We are not many, we are just two. One has done the job and has returned home, remaining the Lion Himself. The dead man. I don’t have much time to spend here. Nobody will see my corpse.
“Our mission is to clear your doubt about Jesus Christ. Our mission is one God and one power, and that man is Jesus Christ,” he said.

[Just In]: “We Didn’t Get it From the Bible”: Pastor Kumuyi Modifies Another Deeper Life Law [VIDEO]
[Just In]: “We Didn’t Get it From the Bible”: Pastor Kumuyi Modifies Another Deeper Life Law [VIDEO]
The General Superintendent of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Kumuyi, has clarified that some of the church’s long-standing rules on marriage are not biblical but administrative guidelines
Pastor William Kumuyi instructed the ban of two traditions of the church
The cleric said that Christians must distinguish between God’s law and church principles, noting that such rules are flexible and not divine commandments.
Specificall, K umuyi announced that the law banning a lady from visiting a man she intends to marry has been nulified.
He further explained that intending couples can freely visit themselves during courtship, but only on the condition that she or he go with an elder.
The revered man of God explained that the aforementioned rule was introduced for practical reasons but should not be treated as divine law.
“We just felt you need some time to know one another. And then We said one month will be too short, two months too short. So, why not six months? ut it is not t from the Bi Bible,” he said.
Kumuyi on principles versus the law of God
The cleric stressed that Christians must distinguish between God’s law and church principles, urging members not to treat human rules as scriptural commandments.
“As a Christian, you need to become so mature that you know the difference between the law of God and the principles in the church,” Kumuyi said.
He added: “Six months is all right, but it’s not something inflexible. If we change it to three months, we’re not changing the Bible, because six months is not in the Bible.”
Pastor Kumuyi also explained that the church’s marriage committee was created solely to provide guidance, not to replace biblical authority.
“There’s no marriage committee in the New Testament. We created it to help you, not because we can give you a chapter and a verse. It is church administration,” he stated.
Kumuyi warned leaders not to wield undue authority, saying: “Marriage committees should not exercise an authority that God has not given them. This is just church organisation, not divine law.”
The discourse surrounding the prophetic declarations made by various pastors on the internet has reached a critical point, with many arguing that it has become overly saturated with countless diluted prophecies that often stem from personal agendas rather than divine inspiration.
According to Matthew 22:14, which asserts, “Many are invited, but few are chosen,” this scripture serves as a cautionary note directed particularly at pastors and prophets who leverage social media, politics, and even football predictions to enhance their visibility and popularity under the guise of spiritual leadership.
This trend is particularly noticeable as Nigeria gears up for another election year, where the intersection of faith and politics has become increasingly blurred. Click link to continue reading the article.
As the political landscape heats up, numerous self-identified “political pastors” have emerged, sharing their predictions and analyses that often reflect their personal biases and emotions regarding their preferred candidates. This practice has sparked widespread debate about the authenticity and integrity of such prophetic utterances, leading many to question the integrity of these individuals and their connection to the true gospel.
Among the critics is Prophet Julius Okonkwo, a notable cleric originally from Nigeria who currently serves as the presiding pastor of Kingdom Seeker Ministries based in the United States.
Prophet Okonkwo has voiced strong concerns about certain spiritual figures who exploit their platforms to predict not only election outcomes but also football results. He emphasizes the need for a return to genuine prophetic ministry—one that is grounded in scripture and integrity rather than sensationalism and personal gain.
His message: Spiritualism is different from personality; we don’t need to mix things in the name of gambling and prediction. God is distinct from god. Unfortunately, today, some so-called pastors are mixing things up. They are mixing emotions with altar words. They are mixing prophetic declaration with political interests just because they are being called a man of God.
“It is not a big deal to see and declare. Still, when you are seeing too much in flesh, it may affect your spiritual declaration because not many people we know when you are declaring the right thing, because you are always making declarations on issues that have nothing to do with spirituality. Imagine a cleric predicting a pool and all that. There are two categories of pastors in Nigeria: political pastors and evangelism pastors.
“Political pastors are pastors who are always seeing everything about politicians rather than focusing on and praying for the Nation. They predict to seek attention, but evangelism pastors are not common, the big ones among them speak once, but many of them are quiet and respectful.”
