Tobi Adegboyega, the flamboyant Nigerian Pastor based in the United Kingdom, UK, has revealed that his partner, Mary Olubukola Alade, funds his lifestyle.

The founder of Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church, SPAC Nation, told the judges, Bruce and Rastogi that he does not receive salary from the church.
Adegboyega has been having a running battle with UK Immigration.
He lost his Immigration battle as the UK Tribunal ordered his deportation back to Nigeria.
The court said the pastor arrived in the UK on a visitor’s visa in 2005 and did not leave when it expired.
It held that Adegboyega had sought to remain in the European country on human rights grounds.
The 44-year-old said his motive for flaunting his lifestyle was to help young people believe there are legitimate ways of making money.
Adegboyega said: “I live with my partner, Mary Olubukola Alade, who earns £100,000 per year working for AON. I spend my time working for the church, for which I am unpaid. I am entirely supported by Mary.
“I have a first-class law degree from Nigeria but I have ‘sacrificed’ my legal career to help those who cannot help themselves.”
The court also heard, “For instance, people have pointed to the fact that he wears designer clothing and drives expensive cars. He was adamant that all of his personal possessions had been paid for by Mary.
“He has never taken a penny from the church. He believes that it is important for him to dress the way that he does because he needs to inspire these young people – they need to understand that there are legitimate ways of making money, for instance through entrepreneurship.”
