Leke Adeboye, the son of Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, has revealed how he made his first one million naira.
He disclosed in a recent interview with Tribune where he said: “I made my first million [from] selling wristbands, rubber to be precise, promotional gift items for those that are doing branding.
