Pastor Tobi Adegboyega, founder of SPAC Nation, has revealed that his wife, Mary, supports him financially with her £100,000 annual salary.
This statement was made during an immigration tribunal, where the pastor stay in the UK despite an expired visitor’s visa was questioned. The tribunal ruled in his favor, citing human rights reasons.
He 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 noted, “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.”
