Olanlere11: Pastor Tunde Bakare in his most recent teaching attributed Nigeria's problems to the fact that we have a poor man in power. In a series of declamations, Mr. Bakare asserted, “When the shoeless takes over, he does clueless things. When such men of low estate find themselves in power, terrible things begin to happen.” He added, “It is the timidity of the inferior that prods them to cover up. Deep rivers flow in silence.
If Bakare's teaching is anything to go by, what then is the fate of an average Nigerian, who has taken up education to change his social status? Is leadership an exclusive reserve of the rich? Is the prevailing insecurity orchestrated by the rich to humiliate the poor? Is it fair that a man of God who is suppose to preach equality now makes distinction between the rich and poor?

ITbomb: In other words forget about ' The American Dream ' in Nigeria.
A pastor for that matter. Has he not been preaching about David the last son of Jesse

Idokojimmy: God will safe us from Bakare and his rich gang. A man of God in that matter

austinsmat: sometimes i wonder if this man is a true man of God or a politician

LFJ:

Why American Dream in the first place? When we should be talking about Nigeria Dream.

ITbomb:
The Nigeria Dream is that only the already rich or retired soldiers can be in power

LFJ:

I guess he said this in his private meeting with you.

Skii: Poster HOW ON EARTH WOULD YOU DRAW SUCH A CONCLUSION FROM BAKARE'S STATEMENT??

I strongly disagree and I crave the indulgence of the MODs to do something about this thread!! Please change this header

BAKARE DIDNT SAY ONLY RICH MEN SHOULD RULE!! STOP IT!!

Olanlere11:
It beats my imagination why people can't read between lines, or draw a simple analysis and sieve out facts. Bakare said when shoeless people, or people of low estate rule, terrible things begin to happen. This implies that for terrible things not to happen, only rich men should rule. Or what is the meaning of shoeless, or men of low estate? Pls, the defenders of Bakare are those that are rich, we the poor must rise up and defend our rights. Nigeria belongs to all of us, period.

Euroclydon:

If he faults the poor background of GEJ for wat is going on,its only natural that he believes only rich touts should be President! Use ur head and drop sentiments pls.

metro10: If this is true, then Pastor Bakare should be reminded of when he used to be a washerman...he too was from a lowly background.

He never deny that fact, and he is always proud of his humble background
