Why Cant Our Religious Houses Help Our Youths by deandavid(m): 9:13am On Apr 10, 2012
now we have seen that our govt both federal,state and local govt are delivering, Nigeria being a very religious nation, and our religious leaders both muslim and christian have great influence on the people. With this status and said responsibility in guiding the people aright and seeing to their well being,why cant this religious leaders help create jobs for the youths in their domains.i was in a catholic church last week and the announcer was mentioning millions collected from last year's harvest,i was wondering what do they do with this money? Ok they give the money to the bishop, and the bishop uses it to help the poor,by giving them food materials etc. etc. But is that wise enough? I dnt think so, WHY CANT THEY USE THE MONEY TO BUILD INDUSTRIES IN NIGERIA TO EMPLOY THE YOUTHS IN THEIR CHURCHES. All they do is open private universities, that only the rich can attend, including my our dear catholic church, We recently heard of a bishop owning 4 jets and starting an airline business, that is good, but not good enough, how many members can that airline employ. Why not do something bigger to employ millions of youths in their church that both the rich and poor members can benefit.

OP to answer your question because many of them don't practice what they preach. They make a lot of money but use these money for personal and none charitable works. That is for most of them anyway.

Because the Church is not a house of employment!!

Jesus did not own a business center nor did he transact buisiness on behalf of anybody.

The bible gave a strict scope of work for the church ona employment isnt one of them!!


Halleluyah!!

Seriously BORN2FUCK, this is the most senseless post I have seen on Nairaland since Jesus woke-up and went to Heaven Yesterday!!

1. Jesus was not poor!!

2. Our pastors were not told what to spend their tithes on and what not to!! If they want to own 40ft yatchs, as long as it is a christian yatch, then its all good!! Afterall, Noah owned the biggest boat in the worlds history!

3. Boko Haram, Churches and Isreal?! Like Nigga are you high on some cheap crack?! Whats the corellation ?! Boko Haram a terrorist group, Isreal a country, Nigerian Churches a religious cult registered under the Laws of Nigeria!! How does a church revenge attacks?! Are they a nation?!

4. Even Jesus hung out with that LovePeddler from the bible!! So whats your point?! Nicodemus was a tax-collector and yet he was Jesuses home boy!! Whats your beef!! Salvation is not for the righteous but for sinners!!


Try dey reason well, and if you cant, go to your nearest winners Chapel ministrys and seek Jesus!!




Halleluyah

this is a gud question...

they cant even ask them...


what a shame!!!!!!!!!!1

Religion is the opium of the masses,it takes awy their pain,their sorrow,their weaknesses and their drives.

Even building sports facilities will go a long way in changing young people's lives in nigeria.

I once asked can CAN & PFN form a CHRISTIAN BANK jst like Islamic bank...

the next thing some religious fricks will say is that the Church is not a business place.. yet
their pastors & Bishops have series of businesses all around the city...
Re: Why Cant Our Religious Houses Help Our Youths by ujchief(m): 2:00pm On Apr 10, 2012
op, ur post highlites ur level of ignorance, and the empty drums suporting ur half-baked observation are delluded in one acord.
Let me enlighten u a bit using the catholic church u quoted.
Catholic churches have thousands of non-profit organisations such as orphanages, home for less priviledged, destitutes, mentally challanged, micro-financed banks where they finance small scale biz, fund the distribution of tri-cycles, build primary, secondary and tertiary institutions, monestories, etc! Who do u think works in their schools, banks and other establishments? Angels?
In umuahia, the catholic has umuchukwu micro finance bank, Mercy primary and secondary schools, Ucl modern ceramics and Ucl Laundary services, this is just in a town, and that is just catholic church!
Let me allow u wallow in ur ignorance!

who said Jesus was poor, I said he lives for the poor, he even claimed the poor will make heaven than the rich, I have enough bible chapter to prove that ...I have been in church for yrs before the nigeria church business ruins everything
Re: Why Cant Our Religious Houses Help Our Youths by born2boink(m): 3:32pm On Apr 10, 2012
@okija dudu-First read from luke 18 vs 22: 25 and you asshole nigaz,90 % of nigerians living on stolen property or fraud and no way sin can be forgiven until you return 4x or 7x of what was stolen, I may prove the chapter with time, so if your dad among politician, tell him to returns all his misreprensentation and fradulent back to the poor or those stealing it from or else his sin will never be forgiven,your babalowo name will not scare me a bit

It is impossible to develop a topic without displaying a headless fan, shouting "amen" or "glory to God." These fans use the cry, because they are unable to use reasoning.

Hehe, op, what do youth contribute to the church? The last time i checked, the 'big' men who give fat loads of cash and gifts to the church have been handsomely rewarded with high positions titles in the church. So wake up bro, nobody gives a damn about you until you can drop something on the table,its all about give and take.

then what are we not saying, the youths especially the very ambitious 1s will do nd undo to make sure they make ends meet,even if it involves kidnapping, stealing, killing, bombing,militancy, boko haramcy and other vices. Shall we continue like this?
