Twitter personality and critic Solomon Buchi has sparked controversy with his sharp criticism of UK clergyman Pastor Tobi Adegboyega after a video surfaced of the pastor clubbing with Nigerian music stars Davido and Wizkid. The footage, which quickly gained traction on social media, showcased Adegboyega enjoying a night out, leading to a heated discussion about the appropriateness of a pastor's lifestyle.

In his response, Buchi did not hold back, asserting that Adegboyega's actions are inconsistent with the values of his pastoral role. He referred to the clergyman as "a shame to the office of a pastor," vehemently arguing that one cannot genuinely represent Christ while engaging in a nightlife filled with luxury and celebrity culture. Buchi further admonished Adegboyega to either embrace his luxurious lifestyle fully or abandon his pastoral calling, insisting that it’s incompatible with the teachings of Jesus.

This confrontation raises important questions within the community: To what extent should religious leaders adhere to traditional expectations, and is there room for a more modern, flexible approach to faith in the public eye? As the debate unfolds, opinions are sharply divided on the intersection of celebrity culture, spirituality, and authenticity in leadership.

“Tobi Adegboyega is definitely not a pastor. Such a shame to the office of a pastor. You can’t be a pastor and be like that. He should just drive his luxury cars and club and enjoy his Gucci. Stop mixing it with Jesus”.
