Court Jails Pastor Over Fraud by MAYOWAAK: 8:48pm On Jan 05, 2010
Proprietor,Christian Millionaires Club,Pastor Michael Spring Inyang is to spend the next four years behind bars after Judge Olubunmi Oyewole of the Lagos High Court found him guilty on a 17 count charge filed against him the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC).

The pastor who used the name of God to defraud hundred of his followers began his scam in 2006 when he registered an organisation known as Christian Millionaires Club through which he persuaded his victims to part with their resources with an assurance that bountiful rewards await them here on earth and in heaven.

The convict also told his victims that his club was affiliated to a popular christian body in the United States and as such whatever they contribute would be rewarded in manifold at the end of the year.

This led many victims to sell their property while some borrowed money from the banks to invest in the club,according to media statement by Head, Media and Publicity,EFCC,Femi Babafemi.

However,almost immediately Pastor Inyang's life changed for the better as he moved from a one-room apartment in Egbeda to a duplex in a choice area of Lagos,buying state of the art cars to complement his new status.

But his congregation's hope was dashed at the end of the year as Inyang was nowhere to be found.

The case was reported to the EFCC in 2007 and the convict was later arrested.

If I promised you a fantastic return on your money, would you invest with me? Probably not, as you would think this is a 419er in action. If on the other hand, I call myself Pastor (or Evengelist, Bishop, Elder, Prophet, Imam etc) Zodiac  and put God into the equation, a lot of mugus would rush in. I am sure that the only reason those fools invested their money (probably ill-gotten anyway) with the 'anointed man of God' is because God had told him that their money would be multiplied 20 times over.

Why did the EFCC get involved? What work would the investors have done to earn the fantastic amounts they were looking forward to. Pastor Inyang should have being given an award for defrauding the greedy fools who sought to make make something out of nothing.

Because:

- They are obeying Allah when they force their religion down the throat of other people . . .

- Allah demands them to overcome infidels . . .

- By forcing their religion on others, they are actually obeying the commandments of Allah . . . . hence their violence is a form of worship.

Abu Zola, how then do you explain this? -"Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home. An evil fate" - Koran 9:73

or "Let those who would exchange the life of this world for the hereafter, fight for the cause of God; whoever fights for the cause of God, whether he dies or triumphs, We shall richly reward him, " 9:74

A certain Mutallab springs to mind. Why don't you remove the log from your own eyes before attempting to deal with others?

No need for comments like this when your superstition religion is no better.

@all: Let it become clear to everyone here that islam and every moslem is a time bomb, suicide bomber waiting to detonate and lavish innocent lives in the name of their satanic, promiscuous mohammed, whose legacy of blood - letting and spilling they are violently pursuing.

In northern Nigeria today, every moslem Mallam and every almost every young person there has been prepared to kill any perceived infidel that is not their fellow terrorist blood-sucking, demonic comrade at the beck and call of "Allahu Aqbar". This beck and call has always been the rallying cry for the demonic stupid vagabonds, including the recent assassin of Fort hood Texas killer-Army major Nidal Malik Hassan and others. You can imagine how their latest desire to waste innocent blood of Americans has caused us, Nigerians, a notorious place as one of the topmost terrorist nations to attract the zooming flash lens of the war on terror. My life is now affected by the uselessness of a terrorist religion called islam.

Shame to all of the terrorists' religionists murderers. Soon and very soon, we shall no longer belong with you satanic group to the same country.
Re: Court Jails Pastor Over Fraud by AbuZola3(m): 9:04pm On Jan 06, 2010
Shame on you too.

Yes the makkan  were torturing and persecuting the muslim that The Prophet waged war on them
Re: Court Jails Pastor Over Fraud by insongrata(m): 10:43am On Jan 07, 2010
I hereby call on all good thinking person to become full aware and consciously alert to the antiques of the devilish blood-sucking, life-terminator vampires called moslems; those using a pre stone-age attitude and blind-folded mannerisms called islam to wantonly destroy God's beings.

All reasonable people that are not moslems should take estra care to be watchful again those terrorists to avoid being caught unawares with their terrorism acts they are waging world-wide in the name of jihad. The same way they have held Nigeria backward with their satanic witchcraft and sorcery, especially their own people from connecting to the growing global human knowledge and scientific developments.

Jihad in whatever guise must be destroyed with the most countering force to stop the con and sly of human retarding index and gradual terminating of God-given life of 'scarosanticity'.

Kill every Mohammed's Jihadist now before they unleash terror!!!

which kind grammer be this one.na wa ooooo grin
Re: Court Jails Pastor Over Fraud by insongrata(m): 1:34pm On Jan 07, 2010
@mrPrsdent: that grammar portrays the 'sanctimoniousmess' and sacredocus esteem of God given life on earth; which is under very strict order to be allowed to exist for the soul's sole owner - 'Yahweh El-Olam, YHWH Eloheenu'.

Because God never took permission from any useles Mohammed before creating it for His sole praise and worship, why should the blood -sucking murderous vagabond and his today's moslem adherents justify for any reason the cause and reason for terminating the life that God, in His infinite omnipotency, crafted and moulded and gave living rights on this planet earth in the cause of satanic worship.

The satanic acrimonious attitude against God's simple command is unacceptable, and therefore, all that love peace and believe in the greatness of JEHOVAH TSIKENU, must stop the devils from advancing with today's styled satanism called islam, coined Jihad.
