Controversial social media influencer, Martins Ortse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has stated that he is now waiting for the General Overseer of Salvation Ministries, Pastor David Ibieyomie, to follow suit after Pastor Enoch Adeboye apologized for his previous teachings on tithing.
Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), recently expressed regret over his earlier claim that paying tithes was a requirement for Christians to make it to heaven, admitting that the teaching was incorrect.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that in a response shared via his Instagram account, VeryDarkMan condemned the manipulation of Nigerians and Africans by Bible preachers, accusing religious leaders of distorting teachings for personal gain.
“I’m happy about what Papa Adeboye revealed so I’m waiting for all those pastors like David Ibieyomie that preach about giving tithe.
“The number one man of all the religious people in Nigeria has come out to apologize that he’s sorry for saying if you don’t pay tithe you won’t make heaven; that it’s not in the Bible.
“Which other things have they told us is not in the Bible? That’s what I’m concerned about; how many things have they manipulated that is not in the Bible? He said.
VeryDarkMan added, “I’m glad that Papa Adeboye came out to say these things, so imagine the ones that would come out to apologise and have manipulated the people, they have twisted the right words of the Bible to suit their own narratives.
“Religion has blinded and finished us in Africa and I will keep talking about how messed up religion has made us, carry your Bible. I’m waiting for those who will come tomorrow and say prayers won’t move Nigeria forward. I hope God will touch papa and the tithe collected will be used to touch the people of the country by creating jobs for millions.”
