Additionally, it\u2019ll be used for constructing more dormitories, upgrading water and power systems, and improving sewage facilities before December.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The appeal, coming just days after Adeboye made headlines for predicting the exact day he would <em>\u201cgo to the heavenly world<\/em>,\u201d sparked a storm of reactions online. Critics questioned the size of the requested sums, while others accused churches of over-commercialising religion.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_212939\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-212939\" style=\"width: 1536px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-212939\" src=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/06\/IMG_6609.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1536\" height=\"2048\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/06\/IMG_6609.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/06\/IMG_6609-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/06\/IMG_6609-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/06\/IMG_6609-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-212939\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Odumodublvck<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/2025\/06\/23\/not-a-rap-beef-inside-the-escalating-feud-between-odumodublvck-and-blaqbonez\/\">But Odumodublvck was having none of it. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the Declan Rice hitmaker passionately<\/a> defended the pastor\u2019s call. He made it clear that supporting the church is a personal choice, one he would proudly make if he had the means. He wrote:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cIF I HAD A BILLION TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE RCCG I WILL DO IT AND EVEN MORE. IT IS NOT BY FORCE TO SERVICE THE LORD. THEY DID NOT SAY IF YOU DO NOT DROP 1B YOU WILL NOT ENTER HEAVEN. AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSEHOLD, WE WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE WORK OF CHRIST SHAMELESSLY NO MATTER WHAT YOU PEOPLE THROW AT US.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The rapper went on to criticise the culture of mocking church donations, pointing out the practical costs of running a ministry:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cSHEY NA HOLY SPIRIT DEY FUEL THE GEN? NA HOLY SPIRIT GO PAY FOR LOGISTICS FOR EVANGELISM? THE CHURCH NEEDS MONEY, SO MUCH MONEY THAN THE AVERAGE BUSINESS. DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE YOUR PRIEST OR LOCAL PASTOR SUPPORTS?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Odumodublvck also reminded critics that not all church leaders are corrupt, stating that the presence of \u201c<em>fake pastors<\/em>\u201d does not mean real, transparent ones don\u2019t exist. His stance has since ignited further debate, with some praising him for speaking up and others insisting religious institutions should place less financial pressure on members.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rapper Odumodublvck has come to the defence of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, following heated debates over the clergyman\u2019s recent billion-naira donation appeal.
