Foluke still cooks, serves me herself at 72 – Adeboye

Pastor Enoch Adeboye

General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has revealed that his wife, Foluke, still cooks and serves him by herself at age 72.

Adeboye made the revelation on Twitter in celebration of his wife who clocked 72 on Monday.

The RCCG leader said that despite his wife being a powerful woman she submits to him as head of the family.

“She has many people who take instructions from her, but as powerful as she is and even though she has seen me in my weakest moments, I have no doubt that I am her head,” he wrote.

“Busy as she is, she still cooks my meals and serves me herself. Many young ladies these days leave everything to the house help. My wife still trims my nails for me,” Adeboye added.

“There was a time when I was a teacher and was staying far from town. She had to cut my hair during that period.

“She is the only partner of the Adeboye Corporation; she doesn’t delegate her primary duties to anyone else. Just like the virtuous woman described in Proverbs 31:1-31, I safely rest on my wife.”

Adeboye encouraged women to “make up for your husband’s weaknesses, celebrate his successes, be his number one cheerleader”.

The popular cleric and wife have been married since 1967.
