Corruption In Nigeria: Even In Churches, Ushers Steal From Offerings – PFN Chief by lalasticlala(m): 3:50pm On Dec 19, 2014
WARRI – ANTI – corruption preacher and Deputy National President (South South) Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigerian (PFN), Rev. Simeon Okah has said corruption is so endemic in Nigeria that even in churches, ushers steal from tithes and offerings.

Okah, founder and General Overseer of Flocks of Christ Mission, spoke on the new phase of his anti-corruption crusade as well as the security and political situation in NIgeria during an end of year press briefing at the church’s headquarter in Warri, Delta state.

. He said, “Corruption has eaten so deep into the society that it is no just about politicians alone. In the church, you have to almost always pray with one eye opened because in some of the places, even some ushers and finance people steal the offerings. It is terrible.”

On perceived failure of the President Goodluck Jonathan to fight corruption in his government, he said there is hope for drastic change if Nigerians give the president a second chance to control the government.

“I agree that the President is surrounded by a lot of corrupt people and it is like when he removes one bad egg, he replaces with two bad eggs. But I have no doubt that the president is a favored child and he has the magic wand to make change.

“I believe he is being limited presently by the way he came in and the challenges of security being faced by his government and there the lure to please all sides. The moment he is returned for another term, things would not be same again. He is going to make the difference”‘ Okah said.

He added that those wishing Nigeria to break up in 2015 will be disappointed, adding that no break up will occur as theelections will come and go successfully,and “this a divine appraisal.”

IT HAPPENS EVERY WHERE THATS THE MOST REASON WE SHOULD STAND UP FOR REVOLUTION (NIGERIA)




[b]Have you ever woken up with the thought of going out to work and you remembered that you are jobless?

Have you ever felt so thirsty that you felt like buying sachet water to drink and you find out you don’t have a penny?

Have you been so stranded that you had to trek a long distance in other for you to get home?

Have you been in a situation where your landlord wakes you up every morning for his rent?

Have you been in situation where the deadline for the payment of the school fees is close and you don’t have any hope of having to pay the fee?

Have you ever dropped out from school cause of lack of support and funds?

Have you ever been kicked out of your accommodation cause of lack of fund?

Have you been sick and you got no money to buy Paracetamol?

Have your PHCN ever given you a bill you knew you never used?

Have a policeman ever beaten you up for a crime you never committed?

Have you ever experienced an accident all because of bad roads?

Have you ever been intimidated seriously cause of your financial status?

Have you ever carried someone to the hospital at a point of emergency and the nurses refused to attend to the person because you don’t have any money to deposit?

Have you lost any golden opportunity because you are poor?

Have you ever been under the hot sun just to vote in a candidate only after voting for him you realize that all your effort was just wasted?

Have you been denied an opportunity all because you are poor?

Have you ever been deprived of your right?

Have you ever complained about Nigeria?

Have you ever like killing a political leader after getting to know the height of his corrupt practices?

Have you ever lived in a place for a year without making use of electricity?

Have you ever been so broke that wish you picked 5 Naira on the road?

Have you ever begged before?

Have you ever wished you were not a Nigerian?

Have you been deprived of an opportunity because you are a Nigerian?
[/b]

Then if have gone through any of this situation, Then i think there is no reason why you should not STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHT AND FIGHT. Most countries that had revolution have never suffered one tenth of what we suffering today. Why don’t you abandon being a fanatic of your religion and stand up for the truth, The reason why Nigerians are being toiled with by our political leaders is because they know that an average Nigeria man would prefer to use the TERM “HE GO BETTER” and “GODS TIME IS THE BEST” to delude them self....



Life has more to offer that a piece of bread..... you where not born into this country by mistake... you were made for purpose don't let CORRUPTION THWART THAT PURPOSE.... STAND UP FOR REVOLUTION... STAND UP FOR THE TRUTH.... STAND UP FOR SURVIVAL....

please rebroadcast this message to thousands of Nigerians Out there!!!!!..... Share this to all your friends and love ones.....

Lol. Corruption is everywhere these days. I once bought a tape from one of these churches that dress like they are in a club.

The girl I bought it from was just pushing me around because she didnt want to give me my balance.

When I noticed she was playing games with me, I shouted and the change she didn't have came out immediately.

One usher forced an empty book on raising kids on my wife last week. She said she asked the woman for her balance and she just ran away. Till today the money don enter voicemail.

In those days, if someone identified themselves as brothers or sisters in church, I just saw us as family,but now I check my pocket to see that my wallet and phones are not missing
