Men who braid their hair are not for this altar even after I am gone. Any woman with heavy makeup, we will walk her off the altar – Pastor Adeboye

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, has criticized clergymen who wear braided hair and clergywomen who use false eyelashes and heavy makeup.

Speaking at his church’s recent annual convention, Adeboye announced that these practices among church workers will no longer be tolerated.

He urged those who take pleasure in doing those things to repent and be modest. 

According to him, any woman who exposes her boobs believes that she is ugly and needs to divert the attention from her face.

He said; “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.

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.

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.’”

“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”

“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.

“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 said
