After Finding Salvation, I Threw My Gold Jewellery Into The Lagoon — Foluke Adeboye

The wife of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Foluke Adeboye, has shared how she discarded her gold jewellery after becoming a born-again Christian. Speaking about her early experiences in the church, she reflected on the personal sacrifices she made to align with her faith.

Adeboye explained that upon joining the RCCG, wearing earrings was discouraged, prompting her to give up her love for fashion entirely. “Every woman loves fashion. The moment we were born again then in RCCG, it was a taboo for you to have earrings. So everything, I dropped it in the lagoon,” she revealed.

The items she discarded included not only her personal gold jewellery but also pieces she had intended for her child. Adeboye emphasized that the decision stemmed from a conviction that the items no longer aligned with her spiritual beliefs.

She also recounted that a family acquaintance questioned her actions, suggesting she could have given the jewellery to her mother to sell. However, Adeboye maintained that her choice was guided by faith. “Whatever is not good for me is not good for my mother,” she said.

Reflecting on her decision, she stated that she harbors no regrets and does not miss the items she discarded. “I don’t miss anything, not much,” she added.
