Brokenbars: Dats a waste if u ask me. Nigeria use millions 4 everything yet most of us are strugling to make ends meet. 35million is enof to set up a memorial in his name in Osun to benefit d citizens rather than slaughtering cows and sharing can drinks.

Afam4eva: Someone just told me that he was also instrumental to the creation of Osun state. If that's the case coupled with the fact that he was a former Osun Governor, i think no amount is too much to give him a befitting burial.

lordgideon: Why are people criticizing ogben....State of Osun Governor Rauf Aregbesola has approved N5 million for the funeral of Prophet Timothy Oluwole Obadare, founder of the World Soul-winning Evangelical Mission (WOSEM not N35m, I heard that in the News while the commissioner was given is address In a statement, Commissioner for Finance, Economic Planning and Budget Dr. Wale Bolorunduro said the money was in appreciation of the late preacher’s contributions to the state, Nigeria and the world.
Beside during the regime of Obasanjo one of his minister then by name Sunday Afolabi embezzled the country national ID Card money, When the man died Federal government spent Over N50m Naira for his funeral ceremony.
To crowned it all how much is N5m Naira to spend for the funeral ceremony of man of God

veraponpo:

Thank you for the elucidation... even if it is N35m, it is not too much for a man that brought such honour to Osun State. How many of such people can Nigeria produce let alone Osun State. Are you sure Nigeria or Ogun State can produce another Wole Soyinka?

Afam4eva:
Thanks Jare. Nothing is too much for him considering what he has contributted to the state of Osun. His church headquarters is even in Osogbo. Infact, i think Osun should budget 200 million for his burial. The state owes him that much.

Okija_juju:

I agree..


Even throw in a week long Funeral celebration and mark this date with a statewide public holiday yearly..

Ajibam: I am a c.a.c member,,but notwithstanding,this is rong,,,if u ar to honour d dead!!what of the afflicted still living...am nt happy wit Dese..bt dat dosent gv u guys. D opportunity to make jest of d man,,lik dat scoundrel calling him formal governor is rong,,,the sin against the holyspirit is unforgivn,,,watch ur loose tongue...IGNORAMUS

black_beau: 35 million for a burial? It could feed half of the state. Jesus.what impact will the burial make on the economy of the people?

Afam4eva: I think this is in order since Obadare was also the former governor of Osun state before becoming a pastor? I'm i right?

taharqa: I just dey laugh. Where the 'Apostles of Good Governance, Defenders of Democracy' at?? Abi, dem nova see this thread? Where @Gbawe at?? The 'Advocate of cutting Cost of Governance'?.... Where the HYPOCRITES at?? Hahahaha.. Na laugh I dey

BrightCar: THIS MOG DESERVES IT.

Okija_juju:

Obadare was a former Governor not former Holy Spirit... #Ignoramus.

Jo.segun:
Baba Obadare deserve it and worth more, more than 35m to Ijesha people, Osun state and Nigeria at large as far as christainity is concer. If u need more understanding ask from great men of God from from Osun e.g Pastor Adeboye of Redeem, W F Kumuyi of Deeper Life, Bishop Oyedepo of Winners and other great men of God that are made during the wave of their power pack revival in d west. RIP Baba.

emmasege: Point of correction, Bishop Oyedepo is from Kwara (Omu-aran) and not Osun. Osun however has produced more international prominent men of God (Kumuyi, Ashimolowo & Adeboye) more than any other state in Naija, and we are proud of that.

take dat: You have no idea who he is, yet you rushed to comment... Bebesco!!!

Okija_juju:


What is this one saying?!

Did you not hear that the government is sponsoring the biggest burial Owambe in Yoruba History?! My guy better wise up and go get your own Aso-Ebi from Osun State secretariat now.

EmperorSeal: I'm not a supporter of Arebesola, but I boldly commend him on this.......the late Obadare was not just a man of God but a prophet in those hand God worked signs and wonders, he brought fame to his state and nurtured a very large congregation in his blind condition. His church "CAC" is actually the most populous yoruba church that I know, he was blind but read the bible fluently, he was decent and moderate in his doings. That man deserves our respect even in death and not what I'm seeing here........I'm sure we all remembered how billions was spent burying the late tinubu's mother and celebrating his birthday too, much more money was also expended burying that late Chinua Achebe, is it because most of us are turning atheist?........ Make una wake up abeg
