This story will please chukwudi44 in particular, I guess. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/7493521/Kwik-Save-tycoon-gives-up-riches-in-pact-with-God.html The devout Roman Catholic vowed to hand over half his fortune to the Church if he ever became rich when he was working as a penniless sweets-seller in Wales after the Second World War.

that's cool, catholic charities actually do some good as long as they are far away from young altar boys |

That's admirable. He made a promise and he kept it. Money isn't everything afterall. |
Re: Man Gives £480 Million To Church In 'Pact With God' by Chrisbenogor(m): 11:28am On Mar 22, 2010 |
naijacutee:No be only, why did he keep it till he was 82? who is the man deceiving? |

^^^^^ Exactly my thoughts when I read it, who the man dey fool? |

Chrisbenogor: rich_john: Please open your bible and read the parable of the Prodigal son. Did the father not welcome his son back even when he only realized his folly when he was starving? The money donated will go a long way to helping the poor. That is what you should focus on instead of making snarky comments. |

Re: Man Gives £480 Million To Church In 'Pact With God' by bawomolo(m): 6:00pm On Mar 22, 2010 |
Chrisbenogor: but he at least made a donation. this is no different from people donating their estate to their alumni after they die |
Re: Man Gives £480 Million To Church In 'Pact With God' by Chrisbenogor(m): 6:03pm On Mar 22, 2010 |
bawomolo:Am not taking away that he did a good thing by donating, I am just saying if he could have done it sooner rather than later in his "pact" with God, people should paint it to look like the dude was a big hero, he could have as well paid off Portsmouth's debt. |

God made him rich and he kept the agreement with God. It would be great if we can find such faithful Christians in Nigeria. |

You see why white man is different. If it was a black man who made that promise and you remind him, he will tell you so what? |
Re: Man Gives £480 Million To Church In 'Pact With God' by sley4life(m): 7:17pm On Mar 22, 2010 |
