Precious Adugbo, a member of The Master’s Place International Church, has condemned what he described as the deliberate distortion of Pastor Korede Komaiya’s message, “Supernatural Speed.”
Adugbo, who said he was physically present during the service, urged Nigerians to disregard what he called misleading reports about the sermon, insisting that portions of the message had been taken out of context.
The controversy followed the circulation of excerpts from the sermon in which Pastor Komaiya was quoted as saying: “If you do what I teach, you will be a millionaire in 90 days, if not shorter. If you do what I teach, you will cross billions in six months.”
Critics have focused on the statements, presenting them as the central message of the sermon.
However, Adugbo argued that the remarks could not be properly understood without listening to the full message and considering the spiritual context in which they were made.
According to him, those circulating the excerpts had “twisted, stripped and weaponised” the message to create a narrative that did not reflect what was delivered during the service.
Adugbo said he was particularly concerned that many Nigerians were forming opinions about the pastor based on second-hand reports and isolated clips rather than listening to the complete sermon.
He said: “I am an advocate for ‘Listen to the Full Message.’ The public should completely disregard the misleading publications online about Pastor Korede Komaiya.
“These reports are not clarifications. They are distortions. They are false.”
He urged members of the public to seek the original source before drawing conclusions about the pastor or his teachings.
“People must take the time to listen to Pastor Komaiya’s teachings for themselves. Anyone who does will discover that his messages are impactful, transformational and entirely free from the ambiguity being forced upon them,” he said.
Adugbo also defended Komaiya’s contribution to society, describing him as a clergyman whose influence extends beyond the pulpit.
He argued that pastors and other religious leaders who have contributed to the moral and social development of society should not be subjected to what he described as reckless misrepresentation.
“Men like Pastor Korede Komaiya are not theorists, neither are they people chasing social media validation,” Adugbo said.
“Without men like Pastor Korede Komaiya, this society and this nation would already be in a far more dangerous and broken state. They have helped hold the line.
“They deserve our prayers, our support and our protection from reckless misrepresentation.”
Adugbo therefore called on the public to approach the controversy with caution, insisting that the complete sermon, rather than isolated statements circulating online, should form the basis for any assessment of Komaiya’s message.
