ChokolateBoss:


This is the most sensible comment I've seen so far.
No one is even saying anything about d girl that was abused in front of thousands, instead they are all throwing verbal missiles and baring their ignorance. Smh for we blacks.

Even d topic of d thread is very misleading and d gullible brain-washed ones are here defending d pastor and raining abuses on BBC. The OP just used a catchy headline (purposely or out of ignorance) to attract readers and those who cannot read btw d lines are exposing their level of dumbfuckery.

U gullible nigerians need to understand that d mentality of d average westerner is far different from that of a nigerian. U don't just physically abuse a vulnerable girl in front of thousands. They don't take that kinda bullshittt. Westerners are far more intellectually enlightened than many mentally enslaved brainless nigerians who cannot think for themselves. The UK frowns on a church that espouses belief in witchcraft as one of its basic tenets; not just mere belief but carrying out actions that are contrary to reason, human conscience and d legal system.

A lot of d inhumane treatment we mete out to people all in d name of "witchcraft suspicion" can only happen here because of our low mentality.

Here in Nigeria (and other low-mentality african countries), people can be brutalized, beaten to death or even burnt alive because some imbeciles think they're witches/wizards. Wtf!
Here in Nigeria, u'll see some kids being starved or detained in churches, whipped and harassed until they confess to being witches. If a family brings a child (to be used as househelps of course) from d village to town and anything dares go wrong in d family, aha! Na winch oooooo!
If an old woman looks at u in funny way, she's a witch. Here in naija, people will construct kiosks and call them churches. In one street alone u can see up to 20 churches all blaring unbearable noise from their giant speakers and when u complain of d noise, u're a witch or agent of satan. In a compound where u're not d only tenant, u'll host noisy casting n binding prayer sessions and if another tenant dares complain, na winch. Naija is a lawless entity with little regards for d social/physical/psychological welfare of its citizens and that's why all these nonsense can happen with no one giving a fuqq.

A western pastor/priest/man of God cannot try that nonsense that Oyedepo did. He did that because he has d mentality of a typical Nigerian. Some of u who support anything done by anyone who brands himself as a man of God need to realize that its d westerners that brought this same Christianity to us and they are not all immoral/irreligious atheists.

Pyrrho:
How does building Schools in Nigeria, and UK, relate to spreading the gospel?

Reference:


Both. The full gospel makes it clear. 'brethren, I wish.... that thou prosper and be in health even as thy soul prospers'. Practically speaking Abraham was acknowledged to be in the bosom of God. Before he died Abraham was exceedingly rich materially. Read Genesis 12 forward. The key here is not to let material stuff master and rule you. God tested Abraham and found he was willing to let go. That is the right attitude. Our wealth is meant to serve the needs, to bless others.

But take this from me today. If you 'walk' with God you will become extremely rich whether you like it or not. The problem is always us, our mentality, our reliability, our objectivity. God gives abundantly. I am a witness. I hardly preach, I am not a pastor. I just do what he says and he blesses me. So its not a matter of one person scamming the other. Most of what I have I never ask for and I don't buy much but I just get a lot of stuff....and I'm not that friendly either. God is real.

Eighty percent of all dis coments realy knows d negative impacts of bishop david oyedepo. Dat shows dat he isn't a good fellow. Naso God go dey expose dos pastors dat uses metaphysical juju or mammiwater power to operate lying to Nigerians under d umbrella of christianity nd Jesus christ. Nigeria wake up.

SirShymex:


Pentecostalism isn't a threat to the traditional Churches cos no matter their reach, they're not part of the state. So basically they have no power apart from the self-anointed Pastors who are just out there to enrich themselves, at the expense of the gullible folks.

The witchcraft thing is just so medieval, and most of the traditional Churches stopped it from the mid-century to the like 18th century. So why are Pentecostal Churches so big on it now? Also, the miracle thing is just make-believe. How many times has Derren Brown exposed all these African miracle pastors on channel 4? Folks can see through the fraud.

thank you sir , Mr jesus. I hope to see you in heaven.

why did the early missionaries have to build schools ... aside the education . why ?

AdeCisco:


Gbam!! You nailed it once! What happened to the bible verse that says 'Freely ye have received and freely ye shall also give" Oyedepo is the richest Pastor because Nigerians are the most gullible people on earth. Government is not doing anything for the poor, even the church is conning them! Ah o ma she o. The UK has been very objective about our Pastorpreneurs.

I shake my head

majekdom2:
has your presence in UK made you the richest man that makes you call his memebrs poverty stricken ... wake up . these members are the ones your type are working for.

why him go go build school for london? na God send am? we need school here, sorry we need affordable school here, not like covenant university oooo! make we no deceive ourselves oooo! and make we no help people deceive us. everything we need to know about God and His ways is in the bible. why dont we just read it and compare with what we are seeing now, and know if it corresponds, instead of just blindly following in a fanatical manner.most of us dont know God, we just know people that claim to know God.and are using that their claimed affiliation to get money and favours from us all the while living fantastic lives with their families at our expense.

Pyrrho:
I'm not concerned abt BBC, they wld say anytin to sell news.

I'm more concerned abt people who take advantage of others, trample on their rights, take the little they have, in the name of Christ who washed his disciples feet, pray for his killers, gave to the poor, went abt teaching, healing, loving. Yes, he talked of treasures in heaven.
According to the bible they preach, he told people to take up their cross (not jets), he didn't amass wealth, neither did Paul, Peter, or John.
These Hypocrites are worse than BBC doing bizness as usual. This is my judgement. BBC didn't slap the young girl.
Before u quote me again, I am not judging u.

okeke00:
so if such person should own a church, what do you think will be his target?

cap28:
Very good for that s.tupid fake bishop - the thief wants to come to the UK with his fake prophecy to deceive dumb Africans (most Europeans are not interested in religion) Good on the brits - keep the fool out by any means necessary, don't let the theieving charlatan and his satanic "church" anywhere near the shores of the UK, let the thief stay in Nigeria where he is free to deceive and rip off dumb Nigerians.

majekdom2:
was there jet during the time of jesus ... bro , if the bible were to document the whole of what happened in the old and new testament ... sure it would not be what we can carry to church. if you feel some one is taking advantage of another ... who do you think you should counsel .. the taker or the takee . does he slaps every other girl . you are entiltled to your opinion tho ... it changes nothing.

YES HE DID SLAP A GIRL THAT CALLED HERSELF WITCH. IF YOU SEE A GIRL WHO SAYS SHE IS A WITCH AND IS SERIOUS ABOUT THE STATEMENT WHAT WOULD YOU DO ?

troy20:

you are one of the major tumor holding this continent down that dark pit of poverty, ignorance,illiteracy...well just to only let you know i might not be the only one holding that view of you.

ikeugbo:
come to think of it, what made you think that its d poor that made them rich, how much do think a jet is worth and how much is spent on running the place: water light, roads, salaries, food and so on. Do you think its surely the poor that makes ministries rich. On the contrary its the rich and wealthy those who can easily give 10k offering in a single sunday if the poor made them rich calculate the offering at an average of N50 x 130k people in a sine sunday that N6.5m then you would need almost 500weeks to buy a jet not to talk of 4 jets. This is exculsive of running costs and other things. I say this because i have seen the offering baskets of churches made,up of N10 and so on this is not chiding those people but letting you know that God makes men rich and not common man. The rich hardly give except yoi offer them something and for them to give him willingly they see what people outside just sit down and gossip about. Moreoever the days of little beginnings yoi dont know what sacrifices were made to get to where they are. So its seriously opposite and 130k people would not be foolish for 30yrs to follow him its only those jealous that would murmur outside seeing they cannot do what people like him do daily

hardywaltz:
Thank God the greedy Pastorprenure is finally been made to pay for his sins..

because they were on mission to uneducated people who can't read the bible. Neither do they av any means of writing or passing these teaching on to others through writing. Teaching them to read and write wld be the right thing to do. This wld make teaching the Bible easier, they spent years teaching people so they could teach themselves. I can't imagine how hard it must av been.

Now, answer my question.
How does building universities in Nigeria, UK, relate to preaching the gospel?!

cap28:


shut your fckg trap you dumb follower of a white man's religion. Oyedepo has scammed the shi.t out of you id.iots and you are too busy licking his anus that you cant even see it. Who in their right mind would follow a theif and con artist like Oyedepo - let me guess a brain dead imb.ecile like you.

I work and earn my money honestly not like your Commander in thief Oyedepo who spins you fairy stories about reaping your reward in a non existent heaven. This is why you will remain under the foot of the white man for life.

Reference:


Sorry. But his 'satanic ch urch' is already in the UK. Been there a few years.

omenka:
There are some Nigerians that would easily squat and lick Oyedepo's ballz if he prompts them to do so. These men commit some of the worst atrocities under the banner of "man of God" and expect no one to as much as breathe a whiff of air in protest!

I trust NO one amongst them, especially the murderer TB Joshua.

majekdom2:
different religious leader with differet approaches . it is unto you according to your belief . leave their believers to that.

Pyrrho:
Bro, "the taker" is the one who stands in the name of someone who gave all. "The taker" is followed cos he is believed to represent sometin better.
