Adeboye Warns Pastors With Braided Hair
…..Vows To Walk Off Female Pastors With Make-Up
The General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has frowned at the new trend of dressing among the new generation of pastors more especially, men with braided hair and women with false eyelashes and heavy makeup.
Expressing his discontent with the trend, the clergyman said that such styles will no longer be tolerated on RCCG altars.
Adeboye spoke in an address at the church’s 72nd annual conventionwith the theme “Heaven” which started Monday, August 5, and ended on Sunday, August 11, 2024, at The Redemption City, Mowe, Ogun State.
His comments highlighted his disbelief at the rising trend of these fashion choices among church members.
According to him,“In Yorubaland, the only men who braid hair are the priests of Sango, the god of thunder. They say this is a new age and that we must be adaptable to what is going on. To continue as Sango priests? Not in this mission. Even after I’m gone, it will still not happen.”
According to Church Times, Adeboye said further, “Take this word from me. When we find anybody among pastors; particularly female pastors, made up to look like a representative of Nollywood; we will walk her off the altar.”
While pleading for forgiveness if he was too harsh, he said, ‘You may not like it. If you are my children, you can’t kill me. Do you know why men don’t makeup? I mean, real men. It’s because we have what is called a superiority complex. We stand before the Lord and say, ‘God, You did a good job creating us. You made no mistake.’”

He stated that even men with bald heads still look very handsome, adding, however, that some people just want to appear false.
“When you begin to fix false nails, I wonder what you want to achieve – If God wanted to make you a bird, He would have given you a false nail and false eyelashes,” he added.
He urged those who take pleasure in appearing weird to repent and be modest. “You can quote me: Tell anybody who questioned why you are doing this drastic change, tell him or her, “Daddy GO said so,” he asserted.
Adeboye wondered why a woman would expose her breasts.
“She wants to divert attention from her face. She believes she is ugly, so the man will be lured. All my daughters listen to me: You are fearfully and wonderfully made. If anybody does not like you the way you are, it’s that person’s loss,” he added
He pleaded with workers in the church to stop messing up what God had done.
“He did a good job. When He created you, you were original. You remain an original,” the cleric declared.
