Oya Tinubu Urchins, it's time for you to abuse baba Adeboye oooo, so that your own can finally finish.

who is to bell the cat .

The question to ask there is why is that so?
Why are the warehouses and factories closing up?
Would a running and very profitable warehouse and factory be sold to a church and not site their office somewhere?

Has problem of unemployment in the country been solved by churches and prayers so far or have religion centres provided the jobs? The key subject of interest here is gainful employment. Yes, our government has never done well in terms of leadership and government policies relative to overall welfare of the citizens generally. However, it sounds hypocritical if our respected pastor comes out to say people gather at political campaigns for lack of gainful employment because people gather at churches for same reason too,simple. So,why should pot be calling kettle black?

I don't think you get the point yet.
Within your statement lies your answer.

Is it the church's responsibility to provide the citizens with jobs?
The reason the unemployed go to churches enmasse is still tied to government failure.

They have no other place to draw hope and strength from but the churches.

And by the way, there's nothing hypocritical about pointing out the obvious. Neither is it kettle calling pot black because when you look at the structure of any successful church in Nigeria, you would understand the type of deep work that goes into building such....and they employ people too but you can never blame them for government failure

Although electorates in Nigeria have not gotten it right with their leaders but don't you think hope of job security is more guaranteed and it is even morally right for people to be crowded at political gatherings to correct errors of bad governance/leadership than gathering in churches Monday to Sunday praying for jobs, food, prosperity and security when it's obvious they can't miraculously get these things there as claimed by hypocrite men of God. Note, it took America more than 100years to get it right through active political engagements and participation not through prayers in churches. Meanwhile, I agree absolutely that our rights to freedom of association and religion are not negotiable,however these rights can only be guaranteed through political processes.

You made valid points within your submission.
However, People choosing to gather in church for a week doesn't stop them from actively participating in political processes.

It's all about choice.

Within that church circle of Rccg are numerous political stakeholders like Oby Ezekwesili, Ben Akabueze, Akinwunmi Ambode, Osinbajo amongst many others...even the church recently established a directorate of politics to encourage members to participate actively in the polity...

Honestly, the church is trying. We must all put pressure on the government to play her own part, otherwise, people will keep going to the only place they can find succour, which is a good thing only that them expecting miracle jobs to fall from heaven won't happen. God already provided the resources here...

Yes it does.
When a country experience massive influx of foreigners, they bring in money and that money affects the economy...creating income for many.

Put in perspective, say 10000 Americans come in for a meeting for a week in Nigeria, Nigeria would receive not less than 10M USD assuming each participant spend a minimum of 1000 USD....
Hope you understand
