Beauty mogul Tara Durotoye has responded to a social media post by Genevieve Magazine’s founder, Betty Irabor, on Instagram.
Irabor’s post over the weekend criticized religious leaders, urging them to take tangible actions to alleviate Nigeria’s economic crisis instead of solely relying on prayers. She specifically referenced a statement made by Pastor Enoch Adeboye during a church service, where he called for prayers regarding the country’s rising exchange rate.
In her response to Irabor’s post, Durotoye defended churches, stating that they often engage in charitable activities without publicizing them. She cited her own pastor, Paul Adefarasin of House on the Rock Church, as an example of a religious leader who participates in such endeavors.
In an Instagram post on Tuesday, Durotoye emphasized the importance of acknowledging religious leaders who contribute to social welfare initiatives. She encouraged others to share similar instances of charitable work by tagging their respective religious leaders.
Durotoye’s response highlights the behind-the-scenes efforts of churches in addressing societal issues and aims to foster appreciation for the positive impact of religious organizations.
