HERBERT WIGWE’S CHURCH, RCCG CITY OF DAVID BETRAYED HIS FAMILY

Before the family of the late group CEO of Access Holdings Plc, Herbert Wigwe concluded plans to lay the banking whizkid, his wife, and first son to rest. They made a shocking revelation that the City of David Parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), where the family worshipped, were banned and not involved in the burial rites. To make matters worse, reports have it that the pastor-in-charge of the influential parish, Pastor Idowu Iluyomade and his wife, Siju Iluyomade, were also banned from attending the burial ceremony by the Wigwe family.
While Herbert was still alive, he and his family were active City of David parish members. They not only spent billions in the church but also supported it with millions-dollar projects, looked after its members, and gave interest-free loans.
Sadly, after the banker's sudden and tragic death alongside his wife and first son while on their way to Las Vegas, US, to watch the Super Bowl game. Naturally, one would expect that the spiritual father and mother to the deceased will go into mourning for losing not one but three members in one day. Unfortunately, they did the complete opposite.
Exactly nine days after the tragic accident, Siju Iluyomade, the pastor's wife, painted the town red with a lavish pre-planned party to celebrate her 60th birthday. Besides hosting the rich, famous, and royalty, the high-society birthday bash also had Flavour N’abania perform, where he was captured serenading the one and only “Siju baby” on the dance floor.
Of course, clips from the flamboyant event immediately got people talking, and many criticised the pastor and his wife for their lack of empathy towards their friends and family members who passed tragically. However, some argue that the pastor’s wife did the right thing because she only celebrated her 60th birthday once, and a diamond jubilee is such a significant milestone in Life.
Sadly, Herbert Wigwe’s family sees their tragic loss as a heavy one that needs to stop all celebrations. How deep was their relationship? How much did Hertber Wigwe invest in the church, and why did his family decide to take such action against the pastor and church?

Let us even put that aside she celebrated her birthday party despite the death of the Wigwe ,the party the so called pastor threw has so many questionable characters it was not a Christian party. Pastor Illuyomade and his so called worldly should stop deceiving the body of CHRIST.They should stop it because their kind of lifestyle do not portray a Christian life.

I agree with the family. It was disrespectful for the pastor and wife to have a lavish party for her birthday while the church, Herbert's family and friends are in mourning. His membership of RCCg and all of his contributions and the many things he did for the church and immense genrosity deserve respect, honor, and dignity by celebrating his life and standing with the family in their loss.

The one who is mourning, truly mourning, will find it hard to celebrate with such pomp and pageantry. It doesn't demonstrate the love of Christ. This is my opinion. I dont think Christ Jesus would have done this that was done. Despite the betrayal of Judas Iscariot, there was no haste to replace him. It took a while before he was replaced.....how much more the passing of three said to be 'loved ones' and it appears they weren't mourned by the very family extension that should be mourning them the most.

[@olatundesokunbi-eboh5906]

This party is very insensitive. It could have been postponed till after this tragic loss

[@obafemiadeyemi]

Pastors self dey hustle like you and I. We need to change our mindset. For heaven your Pastor no go follow you. Them go still climb pulpit dey preach about love and empathy.

[@carolineakalumhe6167]

Hmmm,may the souls of the departed rest in peace with the Lord 😢

[@anniesamuel3413]

I still find it hard to believe that a Pastor could be so insensitive and callous.

[@rosenalewis226]

Daddy Freeze is so correct the church of today is a business most of those pastors don't have a spiritual bone in their body. And yes she should have postponed the celebration further, wake up people stop supporting these so called pastors.

[@johnkpegedege9293]

It's well. God is the judge on this sensitive issue.

I hope other members are learning.

[@edibeaschanneloftransparen9330]

When 3 human beings that are members of your congregation died tragically whether financial contributors or not, as a sign of respect, any celebrations should be postponed. How about if it was her family? If she postponed her party or cancelled it because it’s family, then this is bias which is unchristianly. Yes the overseer has done the right thing to ask them to step down. Yes it is 100% in order for the WIGWE FAMILY TO EXCLUDE THEM FROM EVERYTHING CONCERNING FUNERAL OF DR WIGWE BECAUSE THEY HAD MADE THEIR POSITION CLEAR BY HAVING A LAVISH PARTY. THIS WAS AN EXCELLENT WELL THOUGHT OUT STEP TAKEN BY THE WIGWE FAMILY. PEOPLE SHOULD STOP GIVING HUMANS THE YARD STICK FOR INSULTS IN THE NAME OF RELIGION OR CHRISTIANITY. PEOPLE SHOULD LEARN TO DISSOCIATE FROM EVERYTHING THAT IS WRONG

[@bisoladurojaiye-nicol3863]

I quite agree with Daddy Freeze.Pastor Siju should just have postponed the party. Apart from that, the husband is a weakling, you can tell Siju is in charge in that marriage, why wouldn’t you the man stand your ground for the postponement of the party, after all,one or two of Wigwe’s family members will still attend the party if it was postponed. But, what they did now showed how insensitive they were towards this family, that gave a tremendous support to the City of David. You know what? I love this man because he invested Nigerians money in Nigeria to build a university, not like those useless people that will go and build other countries with our money.Wigwe is our hero.

[@chinejoe4009]

Honestly, this birthday is evil, lacks empathy. Which birthday and golden jubilee! God forbid! The bible said, "mourn with those that mourn and celebrate with them that celebrate"

[@fe7260]

What kind of friends and close acquaintances are these??? Partying this way just 9 DAYS after such a tragic event ???

[@musayesufu1898]

There is nothing sacrosanct about the date of celebrating birthdays. This one could have been shifted. To have gone ahead to celebrate in the face of losing three members of a family, whose immense financial contributions to the church and individual lives are undeniable, was insensitive and senseless, to say the least. It’s a shame. This speaks so much about gratifying the flesh.

[@sattijane9315]

Even if they were not heavy spenders in the church the fact that they were active members is enough to push the birthday party till after the mourning period or burial to say the least. This does not portray the xtics of a spiritual father and mother. It’s just sad that if you have money, people I mean anyone will be close to you to get what they want but once death comes everyone faces front. For God sake , three members in one family THREE!!! Hmmmm

[@aderibigbefelicia6906]

I always say to people, pastors are humanbeing with blood running in their VAINS,let them be corrected when they about to make mistakes, stop saying torch not my annointed.when the pst.plan the continuations of her birthday party in the midst of this great loss of lives in their church,committee members should have rejected it and make her to reason.the birthday party was done at a wrong time, birthday celebration is not do or die affair. The psts and Elders including DADDY G.O. of this church should tender their apologies to the families of late Dr.HERBERT.

[@modupeosota5023]

In fact both husband and wife should be disgracefully dismissed from rccg.

[@ashaade4176]

These pastors are enjoying too much luxury😊😊😊 God forbid, I have those as my Spiritaul heads! This is real rubbbbissh😊😢
