Is Baba Adeboye Too Quiet On Political Issues?

Samorijack and Must a far,

Well said

   

    But of what benefit is the title of most influential person in Nigeria if he cant influence Government Policies for the betterment of his country, including his members?

   Is he an influential person without INFLUENCE??

I did not know that a great majority of Nairalanders despise Mr. Eunuch Adeboye like this o. That means there is still hope for Nigeria. For the ignorant who have taken refuge under the opium called religion and have become enslaved by ordinary men like Adeboye, please wake up and realise that Adeboye is not any more man of God than you, unless of course you make yourself man of the devil.

Thanks for that post, at least we still have some reasonable people here.

There was a Magazine AD that said,  when the Man of God was in his forties,"Get on Tour with the G.O". He was going on a missionary Journey to the nation of isreal then. Today, just post a thread on this Man of God and the outcry u get back will be ernomous. Even the press are  waiting to make another scincillating eye catching storyline out of his talks. Is there little wonder why he is one of the most influential people on earth as some call it? So is it not better to keep quiet when u know your cough will make so many heads start rolling? It is a gift given to him by God, to influence people right from the start of his ministry and it pays him  not to abuse it by making unplanned and unguided remarks. No matter what coloration we give, this man has certain real backings from the Almighty.

Thank You.

Thank you indeed my friend

   You cannot divorce Religion from Politics. You have to think about the papacity, the prophets
   in the bible, Bishop Desmond Tutu and our own Gbonigi.

    Baba Adeboye is not alone in this, except perhaps the Methodist church of Nigeria, all of them
    did not see anything wrong in 2007election which we all know was rigged, at least in the west.

    Erastus Akingbola former boss of Intercontinental launched an FM station and Baba was the first
   on the mic.OBJ had the mic at Redeem monthly retreaat, the following day he was at Owu picking
    Kolanut with his mouth and he still went back there only to be given the mic again. We are not judging
    but for Gods sake,  those who God has given the platform to speak, let them speak.
  
   But they cannot and will notbecause the Yoribas say when you eat Dodo(fried plantain), you cannt
   speak ododo(truth).

what is the essence of religion that will not preach reasons why the Governement cant fix things,is there no political offices in the church and mosques. Where do they hide(the Rulers) under annointing oil,under Alfa prayers. God is in your heart,stop fooling. Indoctrinations-  Most of tyhe clerics will beg in the hereafter.

let somebody shout halleluyaaaaaaaaa.baba is prayn to GOD,,so lets join him,,being the most influential wil change nothin.shetigborrrr

This question is rather sensitive, and bothers about personality. I will advice that whoever is addressed a man of God, should be given his due respect.

In an open fora like this, you shouldn't even bring up issues like this. We see some kids even beat up their parents. For such, what sort of contribution do you expect? Talking about "washing dirty linen outside". If he flies a rocket, there is nothing anyone can do about it. He who God belssed, no man can curse.

Back to the question, same way a personality like Arch Bishop Okoye, Pastor Chris Okotie and Oniayekan is outspoken about political matters, same should not be applied to everyother personality. Even then, do we really heed to the ones we hear?

If Pastor Adeboye chooses to contribute, good, and if he decides otherwise, I think he should be left alone.

His leadership skills is not in question. With the congregation he pastors, and even for us who watch on TV, this country will be better for it if we follow his preaching,  or you may ask, what sort of message will he be preaching to the congregation(politicians inclusive) apart from turning people to God???

We should learn to respect people in authority, thats what we owe ourselves and Nigeria will be better for it.

many re brainWASHED!, as far i know, jesus christ was radical, he wont ve kept quiet if were to be a 9jarian, no one is askin for anythin than SIMPLY TRUTH ADVICE.,to d govt. his followr re sufferin!! ;P

      Am happy u dont attend cos there is more to that helping the poor that T.B does than meet the eyes

Oya come and tell us what we dont know abt tbj chosen

THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN MULTIPLE ATTACKS FROM NAIRALANDERS WHENEVER THE NAME ADEBOYE IS MENTIONED. EVERY TIME I JUST KEEP WONDERING WHY HE HAS TO BE INSULTED FOR NO JUST CAUSE. I RESPECT NAIRALANDERS A WHOLE LOT BECAUSE I ALWAYS FEEL THERE'S A BETTER NIGERIA AHEAD OF US WHENEVER I VISIT THIS SITE AND SEE THE INTELLIGENT POSTINGS OF NAIRALANDERS. BUT ADEBOYE IS JUST A MAN OF GOD WHO HAS DISTINGUISHED HIMSELF FROM OTHERS IN HIS HUMBLE LIFESTYLE. I  HAVE WORKED WITH HIM AS A BODY GUARD FOR ABOUT 6 YEARS NOW AND I KNOW HIS KIND OF PERSON, PASTOR ADEBOYE WOULD NOT WANT TO COMMENT ON ANYTHING UNLESS HE IS URGED TO DO SO. I  THINK IT WOULD BE IN THE INTEREST OF EVERYONE TO TRY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO AVOID INSULTING SUCH PEOPLE PUBLICLY, NOTHING STOPS YOU FROM SAYING WHATEVER YOU FEEL ABOUT PEOPLE BUT IT SHOULD NOT BE ON PUBLIC FORUMS LIKE THIS.

 I KNOW I WOULD BE INSULTED AS USUAL BY THE UNREPENTANT ONES BUT A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE. Lets keep our religious differences to ourselves

Old Testament Men of God and New Tetament servants of God like John the baptist were never politicians but played their role well as 'conscience of the nation", especially of national leaders. they spek fiercely against ungodly leadership and acts. so, I expect every servant of god, especially those who with national recognition not to keep quite when in comes to speaking about unrighteousness in "high places' in Nigeria.

I have always said and I will repeat  that our churches, mosques and shrines has totally failed us in this country

The truth must be said we dont have leaders both spiritually and politically.Our traditional 'chiefs' are the same.
