He made this known in an Instagram video, as he noted that quite an alarming number of people ask him for financial assistance and help to school outside the country. Leke advised that the “jokers” asking for financial help to study outside the country should take advantage of the Nigerian education they can afford.
Unsurprising, the comments have received some backlash from some Nigeria, amongst them the popular on-air-personality Daddy Freeze. In a lengthy post, the OAP writes:
“@lekeadeboye, how are you and how is your daddy? Tell him I send my utmost regards and kind considerations. “You are making a lot of sense with this trade by batter suggestion, but let me ask you this, does your dad pay his private jet pilots with cassava or rice? Does he exchange garri for aviation fuel?
“Charity they say begins at home, why not start by collecting tithes and offering in grains and cattle like it was originally intended in the Bible? The ‘jokers’ you mentioned so respectfully, could go to one of the numerous redeemed schools littered across Nigeria, can’t they? This shouldn’t be rocket science.
“You speak of money saved. I ask from where precisely? Through what means was this money earned? Do accept my kind regards to yourself and Pastor E. A. Adeboye, your father.”

Na wa…Leke sef… sometimes it’s just better to keep your mouth shut…
This Leke guy is just stupid like that. Why can’t he ask his father to use all the tithe and offering money to feed the poor instead of buying jet up and down. Trade by bater my a-s. Thank you daddy Freeze for putting the idiot in his place. #Freenation
