I am sure the collective foo-lishness of nigerians will end with this present generation.The very little ones seems to know wha gwan.Since they are born into digital generation,they tend to connect more with virtual reality than delusional reality as in the case the present reigning failed generation.

Thanks for your write up on the above topic. I just want to make the following input:
* So many members of these churches are not illiterates and neither are they bereft of logical reasoning as some bloggers assume most often in their comments and contributions to issues concerning the church
* Erudite academicians, accomplished lawyers and reputable business personality and enterpreneurs who are rational decision makers form a large nucleus of members of these churches and have a right on how their resources are deployed
* Let me quickly add that not all members of these churches are politicians or government or private sector employees that acquire their wealth through dubious/corrupt means
* If an individual can own a private/personal car rather than using publicly provided means of transportation, what is the difference in owning a private jet?
* Most often we misdirect our energies to churches and leave out government/agencies that are primarily responsible for our well being.
* How many of the good deeds and charitable works of these churches are given prominence in our newspapers, rather we have to "mobilize" reporters to feature such events in their newspapers!
* Lagos/Ibadan expressway would have remained a forest/den of armed robbers if the churches had not taken the initiatives to open up the area! Punch Newspapers would have taken their Head Office elsewhere not this same axis that was opened up by religious organisations that ventured to "invest members" money in putting up infrastructures in this neglected area !
Just my thoughts.
I'm afraid your argument is so daft-ic, exposing your ignorance. You can be a professor or top class professional and still be gullible as you may be as intelligent as anything yet, your intellect may be found wanting. Secondly, i cant remember any of the churches did ''good deeds and charitable works'' that impacted the public positively, rather, all we've been hearing and seeing is the insatiable penchant for accumulation of wealth by the church founders/owners so much so that they compete favorably with their politician brothers and sisters in terms of misappropriation of commonwealths.

I can help but laugh to read that ''Lagos/Ibadan expressway would have remained a forest/den of armed robbers if the churches had not taken the initiatives to open up the area!'' Its only a blockhead that can make such spurious assertion. Despite the chaos and insanity brought to the Ibadan expressway by the churches, to you, that is sign of development afterall, the untold hardship experienced by motorists on that road and caused by the churches is a welcome development in the sight of your god. Nothing could be more idiotic!

LocalChamp:

The same Daily Mail, weeks before, ran a feature on another Nigerian pastor in the same UK,[size=18pt] Alex Omokodu, (who claims on his website to have raised the dead twice) and another Pastor Mbenga of the Victorious Pentecostal Assembly who scam worshippers by selling olive oil and black currant drink at double the market rate as “miracle cures”, capable of curing terminal diseases.[/size]


Why did somebody like Jesu Oyingbo have followership in the first place and why didn’t people walk out on [size=18pt]Pastor Chris Oyakhilome when he charged gate fees before one could attend service?[/size] Seriously, who should take the blame? The person who sells snake oil or the one who finds a psychic relief (however temporary) from buying?

For the record, let me state that Pastor Oritsejeafor is not a good poster boy for Christianity (never mind the various caps he wears, [size=18pt]anyone can be anything in Nigeria’s Pentecostalism[/size] grin grin). I make this point – debatable, of course- not just because of his Bling Bling jewellery like 50 Cents or even his bond with the present occupant of Aso Rock Villa; there is something about him –and I came to this conclusion after watching him raise an offering on Cable TV- that doesn’t seem to me would wait for God to supply all his ‘greeds’ according to his riches and glory.

For years, I've been looking for the difference between Nigerian pastors and Yahoo! Boys but found nothing.

Their Modus Operandi is the same. Play on your victim's emotion, scam them of their valuables while promising them an imaginary reward. Repeat above.

I'm sure the most gullible people in the world would be found among Nigerian Pentecostal churchgoers. It beats me how they manage to remain dumb for so long.

Umm......SUFFERING & SMILING.

For many years I've been in UK, I've never heard about any Arch Bishop launching a book....that would have been a TOTAL DEVIATION from their primary Obligation.

Again it's all African churches that are into all this money making and donation palavar.

We've taken church to a different level, beyond those that brought Christianity to us, as a matter of fact Nigeria Leads among all other BUSINESS CHURCHES.

I must say it's a choice that some people have made and it's a shame that Vulnerable people have to be exploited in the this process.

Again I've never heard about any CHURCH LEADER OR MAN OF GOD as NIGERIANS portray them to have a PRIVATE JET....what a CELEBRITY PASTOR, Clearly it's all business, even world business mogul RICHARD BRANSON that runs Virgin Airline has no private jet to himself except our Men Of God that suppose to serve and preach gospel to the people suddenly become a business Mogul.

World Pope has NO PRIVATE JET

If you say that it doesnt make sense to have more pastors and churches than factories they go say, " why do you insult a MAN of GOD" as if men of god only dey in the Nig.er Area banana republic that cannot boast of a National AIrline.

You see, when the revoluton hits, these very ordinary men who are using bible to gain power, relevance, and attention, from Adeboye to TB Joshua, to the other private jet owners, they will have to answer to the deception and distraction of the people they cause and continue to cause.

Nigerians wake up.

Those who brought bible to you have light in their place, and are not carrying "Men o God" on their head.

The primary role of the church is to save souls & instill moral values in her members. If religious leaders do not get it right, then we should not expect much from their flock. Wealth acquisation is a cancer that is destroying the church. The nation cannot fight corruption when religious bodies don't rebuke corrupt persons and indulge in the same practice. The love of money is the root of all evil.

What he did to get to this level some of you criticts can NEVER do it.Trekking miles for evangelisms,the fastings,the seed-sowings,rain fell&dried on him,snake fell on him etc..Someone who told his lecturer 'I'm a part time student & a full time christian'when the lecturer scolded him for severall
times absence from class. It is not easy to follow this Great God,but what a reward,its rewarding just take a look at him that's the reward! Don't hate him, my candid advise.Better still,You can leave your employment to go and start church if you think there isn't God.


What I have realized after several years of deliberating in my mind is this:
Perhaps sheep can communicate with each other. Perhaps one sheep might say to the other:
Those men are killers, one day they would take us to the slaughter and dine on our carcass.
In disbelief the other sheep would say:
Impossible, do you know how much he has done for us? Do you know that in the last year he has taken me from pasture to pasture?
Do you know that when the wolf came around he fought it off with his rod? You might choose to escape but for me, na here I go die.
That for me is the case of the modern day Christian with his/her MOG.

But not limited to saving souls ! The primary role of Jesus was to come die for man kind but it did not stop there as he was busy going around doing good ! Healing the lepers,raising the dead and also teaching men who follow him how to be good fishers of men. The love of money is the root of all evil.The bible never said money is evil ! God gave his children power to make wealth and christ said we should learn to manage this wealth we have made for the true heavenly riches to be committed into our hands.If as a child of God,i desire the good things of life,are pastors not also the children of God ?The kingdom of God comes with all these but if you choose to be limited,you can be limited after all wealth will not take you to heaven NEITHER WILL POVERTY TAKE YOU TO HEAVEN !If you follow these men of God you will observe that they dnt condone corrupt practices but you now see them as corrupt people becos they ride on cars and fly as well.I think if your father owns a jet you will be happy.But i will only be sad if my father owns a jet,appears on FORBES LIST AS THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD BUT DOES NOT HAVE JESUS ! If these men got Jesus,why do you now criticise them ?
Bro,they didn't steal from you and please dnt judge them just becos your church is yet to show you in the scriptures how you can receive from God ! The church AND THE men OF GOD gives nothing ! It is the WORD of God that gives all ! Any teaching that isn't scriptural is not from God.These men jst took something from the devil BY SHOWING US SCRIPTURALLY HOW gOD GIVES. bUT THE DEVIL ONLY WANT PPLE TO COME TO HIM SO HE CAN GIVE THEM THE LOOK ALIKE OF wealth but not the true riches and wealth from God !

His private jet was presented while he was sandwiched, like Jesus between two thieves, in the presence of a President who bizarrely declared he couldn’t see how corruption and road accidents are interlinked and, a governor whose public morals fall below average.
But here’s the problem: These pastors know that with Nigeria’s developmental progress comes their end. And they are actively complicit in the dysfunctionality of Nigeria to extend their own longevity.

The above is the meat of the article for me

If you own a copy of the Bible please read Matthew 7:28,29 and act 4:13. Those portions of the scriptures show that neither Jesus nor his 1st century disciples were considered dumb. The reason why people like you are dumb is because you have become followers or men rather than God. Contrary to your unreasonable assertion people actually give their lives to Christ till today because they consider him to the the wisest, smartest and most caring man to traverse the face of the earth. Your response is a reaffirmation of your being eminently worthy of the diadem of foolishness earlier conferred on you.

Or have i seen Jesus before ? Was i there when he was crucified ? But becos it is written that's why am doing them my brother. Even if i give to these pastors to help me give to God or i give expecting that God will come pick it up,if the pastors fail to give it to God or stops God from picking up my offering,how does that concerns me ?

i know all men are not born great but at what point in your life will you ask God for wisdom??

do you know that God hates aiding and abetting more than Nigerian police?

in ur words, you dont care if your pastor accounts to humanity or God, and as a child of God you dare not speak out on those who has possesed God's gifts??

Gods judgement awaits the pastor who enrished himself with Gods gift and you who refuse to speak out in condemnation.

m.k.o2005:

I dnt know who is complaining here ! I'm yet to see one who said he gave and got broke or became poor as a result of that. Infact,i give below my level and it's hurting me going by the teachings of our lord Jesus.
God bless us

are you saying all the members are rich because they are giving to pastors
are you aware that the bible did not stipulate you should give to the pastor but church (the body of christ)??
are you aware that the bible was explicit when it says you should bring offering to the church??
why are pastors utilizing that which is meant for the church??

my pastor said that people who do not pay tithe are robbing God. i believed him, after people paid. the rest became history. is that not a slap on common sense??

how can you call me a thief for not paying tithe yet you are not accountable to me when using the money others have paid?

my verdict is simple, any pastor that solely uses Gods money for luxury has robbed God not even poor members like people errorneously allege.

God must have a good reason why Jesus wasnt the richest in his time. and any follower of christ should not live in opulence.

lastly,

it is my duty to stop pastor from stealing Gods money as much as it is his duty to remind me when i rob God for not paying my tithe.

for every christian who allowed their pastors to use Gods money for frivolities, you will be judged accordingly.

stop Nigerian pastors today and make our society a better place.
