Popular media personality and social critic, Solomon Buchi, has harshly criticized UK-based celebrity pastor, Tobi Adegboyega, after a video surfaced showing the clergyman in a club with Nigerian music star Davido. The video, which went viral over the weekend, also featured a moment of tension as Davido and fellow artist Wizkid, known for their longstanding rivalry, appeared at the same venue.
In the video, Pastor Tobi Adegboyega was seen sitting alongside Davido in the club, a scene that quickly caught the attention of social media users. The presence of a pastor in such a setting sparked debates online, with many questioning whether it aligns with the expectations of a religious leader.
Solomon Buchi took to his X handle (formerly Twitter) to voice his disapproval of Pastor Tobi’s actions, expressing strong opinions about the clergyman’s behavior. Buchi, known for his outspoken nature, did not hold back in his remarks, calling Adegboyega “a shame to the office of a pastor.” He suggested that Adegboyega should abandon his religious duties if he prefers a more extravagant lifestyle.
“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,” Buchi wrote. He went on to suggest that Adegboyega should focus on his luxurious lifestyle rather than blending it with his religious role, saying, “He should just drive his luxury cars, club, and enjoy his Gucci. Stop mixing it with Jesus.”
The incident has generated mixed reactions on social media, with some users supporting Buchi’s criticism, while others defended Pastor Tobi’s right to engage in social activities outside of his pastoral duties. Some questioned whether pastors should be held to traditional expectations or allowed more freedom in their personal lives.
