Mama Foluke Adeboye, wife of Pastor Adejare Adeboye, has revealed that she threw away her valuable gold jewelry into a lagoon after becoming a born-again Christian.
Speaking about her experience in an interview, she shared that she once loved fashion but gave it up when she joined the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), which discouraged wearing earrings at the time.
The pastor’s wife explained that she discarded the jewelry, including items she had prepared for her child, because she believed it no longer aligned with her new beliefs.
“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 said.
She recalled how her mother’s friend questioned her decision, suggesting she could have given the jewelry to her mother to sell instead.
Foluke stated that what was not good for her was not good for her mother either.
“Whatever is not good for me is not good for my mother”, she said.
She expressed no regrets, stating, “I don’t miss anything, not much”.
