This is one of the most sincere lines of thought I ever read from a truthful Christian. I do not know the author, but it makes common sense.

"There are times I can't seem to shut these talks up. Moslems are trying to Islamize Nigeria because Christians are not Christianising Nigeria.

How did the white man evangelise Nigeria through the CMS, RCM, SIM, Methodist, Baptist and other agencies?
By building schools and hospitals and offering their services at subsidized rates.

Some years ago, my mother needed eye surgery to remove a cataract. We brought her to Lagos and were informed by a consultant at Nigerian Ports Authority Clinic that the best eye hospital in Nigeria is the ECWA Missionary Eye Hospital in Kano.

I took my mum there and met with highly qualified expatriates working right in the heart of Kano. The Chief Medical Director, Dr. Kiru had more degrees than a thermometer, the equipment was the best available in the country; despite the hustle and bustle of the city, the atmosphere within the hospital premises was serene. A female, German surgeon (Dr. Bahge) operated on my mum and she was discharged 4 days after she was admitted. The whole operation including tests, private ward with 2 beds and feeding cost N54,000 (Instead of N200,000 in the cheapest hospital in Lagos). Further tests later showed that my mum's eyes were like that of a 40-year old (she was in her seventies).

Three years ago, a friend and I met an 18-year old girl who had run away from home, soon after she had a baby for her 20-year old boyfriend; both had absolutely no source of income. Where do we take them to? Someone told me about Ozanam house - a home set up by the Roman Catholic Church just for cases like this. After narrating the story to Rev. Sister Stella (the Head of the place), she said: "go and bring them".

The girl, her boyfriend and the baby were kept in the center till her mother was located and all three were sent back home to Abuja - all expenses paid by the center.

What do the Pentecostal Churches offer today? What acts of love or kindness do you receive from the average Nigerian church? What amenities are provided by the Nigerian Church whose income was estimated at 3 Trillion Naira in 2014 (when the whole Nation budgeted 4 Trillion)?

We build mega auditoriums to seat crowds mainly made up of miracle seekers and those trying to assuage their curiosity; we offer prayers mostly for prosperity and breakthrough, we give prophecies about who is standing in the way of your success and how he or she must be removed by violent prayers. In fact, our enemies, spiritual or physical, must "die by fire". Meanwhile a pastor here in Ojodu, Lagos owns 45 private cars in the midst of abject poverty. Now there is this satanic competition to know who owns more aircrafts than the other in Nigeria.

Most Church members can not afford the fees charged by schools owned by the Churches where they worship.

A woman had a baby through normal delivery in a hospital owned by the Church where she worships here in Ojodu, Lagos; the bill was N150,000.

It is "Haram" (forbidden) for a Moslem to take interest on a loan given to another Moslem but a pastor I know was charged 20% interest PER MONTH on a loan given to him by a fellow Pastor. By the 6th month, the interest had exceeded the principal sum.

I encourage you to let's continue to share this message till it gets to the table of these great men of God!!!!!"

Copied and pasted the way I saw it because it made sense to me,,......

Okay

sadly, no one gives a fvvck

The poster has written a very good articulate that is meant to make front page of nairaland, but I doubt if it will.... the truth of the matter is that the Church of old, normally preach given back to the churches, help is meant to be given to the less privileges in the church and offering and tithes are meant to be for the general overall of all Church workers, but today, wat do u find, only one pastors takes all, himself and family would be living large, while the rest of the members are in poverty!!

The truth of the matter is that poverty in Nigeria is one the rise that's we see this menace. Even if some of this mega churches still practice giving to the society, and poverty isn't checked in our society, we will continue to experience this phenomenon raised by op. There are mega churches in Europe yet you don't see people raise eyebrow because they are living well although not all

Stinggy, bia n'ebe a
You see why I no longer go to Church


Okay, I remember, I'm Catholic








Great write up but the sheeples will not learn so, it's needless

Sadly, the Pentecostal Churches are operated more as a business concern than a church.

The essence of the church was to prepare humanity for eternity while caring for their mundane needs but the Pentecostal Pastors are after the number of private jets they have. Absolutely they've only impoverish human race both soul and body.
