And I am telling you that the same MTN is haemorrhaging cash badly.
So it means they will soon begin to charge even more or keep selling off and streamlining to maintain which will not work after a while.
Our business environment currently doesn't leave wriggle room like it did a few years ago

BlueRayDick:


Access is a business entity owned by shareholders whom Wigwe is one of . Access is regulated by CBN and other government agencies .

The issue is not over flogged one bit! If the church leadership can't be empathetic over the death of a member , then the church has lost its place as the succor of a common man.

Morally the birthday party celebration was an unwise move on the part of the pastor and his family . Wigwe was even a fellow pastor o. Wigwe was not just a floor member in the church , he was a pastor .

If a church would not care about optics ; how then do they intend to win lost souls?

izzou:


We can still say the exact same for City of David.

If Access decides to close its doors for one day, just to honour Wigwe, everyone, including the customers will understand.

I mean, the CEO, wife and child just died yesterday....

But No, they acted like the guy never existed. And then we want to kill the Pastor's wife for celebrating her birthday, days after.

Ahn Ahn. Let us be fair naa..

Maybe if the Pastor's daughter was getting married days after, they will cancel the wedding too.

GloriousGbola:


The pastor is showing a serious lack of emotional intelligence imho

His church depends on the goodwill and largess of all the big name members. Even more so today when everyone is feeling the squeeze.

Nigerian big men have very big egos and if they see what they perceive as indifference to one of their own, they may not be as supportive in future.

Stoking the egos of your benefactors is very important

BlueRayDick:


Na this same birthday .

Itsrm:


Postponed bawo. It should have been cancelled.

BlueRayDick:


Access cannot close its business for a day because the law expects them to serve their customers whose businesses will be impacted by their closure on a weekday that is not a public holiday .

The church on the other hand is not governed by any law that says such ; neither will the pastor's wife birthday cancellation/postponement harm anybody's business .

Wigwe was a pastor in the same church ; that should count for something at least.

U know what u are doing here is false equivalence . The pastor and his family messed up and that explains why the Wigwe family excluded them from the funeral plans . Not even service of songs ; they just treated them like strangers and fixed every Lagos program to be held at Eko Hotels

The funny thing is so many people whose faith were shaking before now have bee provided a reason to give up on the faith with the pastor and his wife's act .

Emaprince:
Oh flavour go the birthday?

These people are not serious. Smh

izzou:


If the Security man had died, and the Pastor's wife celebrated her birthday days later, would you be this angry?

So you guys don't know the China way to watch paid content for a small fee?

BlueRayDick:


I know what u are trying to do with this question . But before u go far let me just tell u what I believe .

If a member of a church dies untimely and in a tragic way ; irrespective of whether the person is rich or poor the church leadership should be seen as mourning with the member's family. This should reflect in their actions and deeds ; not just by word of mouth. Their Bible says they should weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice. They decided to rejoice while the Wigwes were weeping .

The belated birthday celebration wasn't a do or die affair . Postponing the celebration or cancelling it entirely would have been better than going ahead with it. The pastor and his wife simply didn't act based on the Bible they preach to people every Sunday. There's a time for everything . They messed up. Simple !

And how do we know they didn't weep for 9 whole days?

Like...At what point should we now permit the Pastor's wife to celebrate her own birthday?

If you cannot find any fault with a whole Access bank that could not mourn their CEO, why you wan tear this woman stainless white dress?

Your CEO and family died, and all they could do was issue a flyer, but we should crucify the Pastor and his wife for celebrating 9 days later

BlueRayDick, fear God naa

afrodoc2:


Bros you for put viewer discretion.

izzou:


It should be cancelled because??

Emaprince:
Exactly what I was going to respond to blueray.

She should have canceled. The birthday is not a church program, so it is irrelevant.

And na church money them go use dey flex birthday.

BlueRayDick:
Omo !

Because If it was her husband and child that died, that's what she would have done.

izzou:


But it is not her husband and child that died naa.

most people here are law abiding gentlemen, they don't want to break the law or anything

I expect the church to stay open cause it serves a purpose that's bigger than Wigwe or any of the stakeholders of the church, same way Access Bank does, but going ahead with the birthday is quite personal. Although one might consider expenses and bookings that have been made ahead of the birthday...will they start making losses on all of that?

Las Las everybody don do the one wey dey in their self-interest, it's what it is.

Theflint1:
Opening up for business the very next day is quite different from an individual (a major stakeholder) in the church going ahead with a part days after Wigwe died. I'm sure any of Wigwes fellow majority stakeholders at Access that had a good relationship with Wigwe would likely not have gone ahead with a party days after Wigwes death.

izzou:


Why is it different?

A man and his family dies today, and then his salesgirl opens up the very next morning for business

This is not insensitive to you?

BlueRayDick:


The woman's birth date is 8th January 1964; she clocked 60 in January . If she can shift the celebration till February because she was globetrotting , nothing stops her from postponing it cos of Wigwe's death.

The celebration was insensitive as at that time and it's obvious the Wigwe's didn't appreciate that. They have rightly locked the church out of the week-long program to celebrate the man. If the people cannot feel the church is with them through their trying moments , then the church has lost its course . Simple !

We've gone past access not closing down. U are the only one that knows why u keep repeating that line like it will change anything .

Theflint1:
Are you comparing a sole-proprietorship to Access Bank?

izzou:


Okay

For sole proprietorship, it is insensitive

Then for Access and Public Limiteds, it's not.

Is this your point?
