Ishilove: More than "beautifully" I must say. I actually lost sense of setting and scene mid-way through the story. It was like I hunkered down to read Dante Aligheri's classics and mid-way through one of his poems I began coming across inappropriate verbiage like "time-machine", "IPOB", "Olosho". I had to backtrack to the first few paragraphs to verify whether or not Mr. Ivan was giving a vignette on what he experienced in a Lagos night-club, because it very much didn't seem like he was talking about a church. The part he talked about them needing a "pass" before they could gain entrance reminded me of Sizwe Banzi Is Dead (by Athul Fugard), in the sense that it brought to mind the South Africans – during the Apartheid – being required to have a "pass/permit" before they could enter certain areas or work certain jobs. I think it's safe to assume that many churches, particularly here in Naija, are no more no less debased houses of commerce. I think the writer was also being modest in his critic of T.B Joshua. T.B. Joshua must have the blind eyes of a bat if he claimed complete oblivion of the power excesses of those under his leadership. Even as a non-Christian and non-religionist, I still think the Catholic Church is worth emulating in the area of general coordination. Have you ever watched a live broadcast of an ongoing Mass in St. Peter's Square? My God! Every single bit of the Mass has been thoroughly pre-choreographed (I know this 'cause in a distant lifetime I was an altar server ) , and nothing is ever out of place – from the movements of the altar servers to the procession of the cardinals and priests. Watching it - for me at least - bestows the same sensory experience as listening to Beethoven's Fifth symphony on full-blast while at the same time having a most noble woman with the most noble lips tour the highs and lows of your manhood. On a more serious note, it's a sad thing. I'm not even speaking to the particulars of the gauche public relation skill-set of the ushers, but on the general disarray and lack of order that seems to be a recurring motif in these big Naija churches. I remember travelling to Osun state by car sometime last year and getting stuck for more than an hour in Oregun just because ushers and traffic wardens from Daystar were unable to control the crowd and vehicular movement of the worshippers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toGW-QDnUNw |

spokesboy:The op certainly did not fool you SPOKESBOY. Are you a psychologist ? My take is that the article was written by someone that is hard hearted, puffed up with pride, quick to anger, arrogant. When you examine the tone and the extraordinary petty details and extreme length of the article when the point could have been made with ten sentences, you have to believe it was written by fake pastor Bronchitis Oaroloye. He has tried for 34yrs to destroy the mighty SCOAN CHURCH NIGERIA. 1 Like |

sorextee:Dont you think it strange that the op who is supposed to be a woman, took so much time to describe the girl in the mini skirt that had the best legs ever seen in Nigeria. The article is a poorly written PROPAGANDA ploy and I believe the Fake pastor Bronchitis Oaroloye is the author considering the extra long epistle, extreme exaggeration and callous refusal to accept reality and respond accordinly. THE ARTICLE IS ANOTHER FAILED ATTEMP AT DESTROYING THE DIGNITY OF THE MIGHTY SCOAN CHURCH NIGERIA. |

But what could the op be doing there? Why should somebody leave the comfort of his house to a place where he will be ridiculed by thugs and rascals? I walked out of a Church before mid-service and a thug or usher blocked my way out, it was clear he acted on instructions. When I raised my voice at the slave, he allowed me go to avoid a row, having looked over to his man of god who paused briefly, for further instructions. They see most people that come to them as desperate to be entertained, some of the thugs themselves are in the know of the atrocities from the CEO down to the mobile police that constitute part of the intimidation forces right from the gate. The timing of my walkout coincided with when the fake man of god was talking rubbish. Why can't people rest in their homes or wait on the Lord though the fig tree...? The degradation of people I watch on the t.v. that happen at SCOAN far outweighs whatever charity they display. A man was asked to display his genitals on a live t.v to advertise his cure and blessings. Another, a woman, was displayed to have "passed out" a live snail which was tagged the root source of her problem. There are places I will never again go no matter the packaging of the enterprise and the luring promises they give. The deception going on in this age is phenomenal. 3 Likes |

I really don't know much about SCOAN but I read the whole piece & I must admit, THE WRITER writes WELL in terms of tenses, grammatical construct, phrases etc. I am impressed with your writing dude. |

I had to ask my dad and elder sis who once went to the church (at different interval) if they experienced such treatment as new comers.. They both said NO. Nothing like that. Well it was a lng time ago. Maybe then the ushers were nice, and these ones are new. Im not concluding neither am I judging.. ScienceWatch: |

I rather visit my village shrine (if there is any) other than to go to that polluted place. everything about SCOAN is SCAM, from the GM to the GATE-MEN, they are all fishers of money, as for the miracle seeking OP, I think you deserve what you get, instead of you to build yourself up spiritually and develop a personal relationship with God, you are busy running around looking for cheap miracle. 1 Like |

What were you expecting at an occult temple? Stupid people who do not value assemblies of true worshippers. How I wish something worse happened to you! You clowns and blinded people can keep going there. Slaves of satan. GOD bless all the small and large assemblies of true worshippers around the world. JESUS is LORD! |

Well said. The tone and the gesture of d writer shows that he never met christ. All what he said is a direct opposite of what transpires there. Though no place of worship is perfect. There is always room for improvement .the writer is too carnal |
