Only if you guys will channel this your energy positively on your community this country will be a better place..like someone said,many of you pass beggars and homeless children on the streets/road everyday how have you impacted their lives ? I won't hold brief for any pastor/priest but charity begins at home.. First remove the wood in your eyes before you can be able to remove the speck of wood in another man's eye..peace. 5 Likes |

no comment GOD knows the right thing, if to have 3 to 4 jets by 1 pastor is good because he runs to 160countries with 4 of them in 1 day and at the same time. but he should remember the poor in their midst and even the poor pastors. |

n0m0705: First of all, let's get something straight here, [b]the jet is not a personal property of the pastor(atleast pst adeboye and bish. oyedepo), so if any of them seizes to be the general overseer today, the next person in line will be the one using the jet. But he will use it until he dies Anytime we try to defend the jet madness,the reasons we bring up are usually laughable So Kumuyi is not doing God's work.sorry for you |

Wahala90: You guys should keep quiet; you are only working for your master Satan. Your main agenda is that the gospel of Christ should fade into insignificance. Every good Church does charity works as part of evangelism. The amount of money that RCCG uses for charity works far exceeds that used for buying a jet. There is money for taking care of less privilege and that for running the Church and spreading the message of Christ. But what do you want? "Give to the less privilege, give them all" You say this not because you care about the less privilege (you see them everyday and do nothing) but because you hate the Gospel spreading. When Churches give in charity you pretend you don't see but when they take huge steps in spreading the Gospel, you fume like your father and master Satan. You brood of Vipers!U don't get it,do u? Wht does helping d less privilege mean 2 u? Occasionaly giving 2 mothrless babies or beggers? Wht about making sch fees affordable at their schools so that evn an orhpan can attend if its his/her desire 2 attend? Or even membrs of their churches? If a poor. membr can't boast of passing through d university owned by his/her church then whr wil hop come frm? 6 Likes |

Question of logic: 1. Without the harsh economic conditions in Nigeria, would the churches boom? NO 2. Without church boom, would pastors afford jets? No 3. Nigerians are getting poorer daily but churches are getting richer. Where is the direction of cash flow? 4. The poorest nations have the biggest churches. Where does cash come from to sustain these churches? 5. Biggest alariwo church in England is located in the poorest area of the country. Why? Final answer: For the church to boom, people need to be poor and hopeless. Pastors offer hope blindly, most times as simple as words of mouth that doesnt reach their hearts. The poor man is more willing to give than the rich/enlightened man. Conclusion: The poor will get poorer until the government grows a pair and ask churches to validate the promises they make to people. If you advertise a revival where you promise to cure HIV, then you should be made to do so. Failure to do that, the G.O should be made to pay the full cost of the anti-retroviral drugs. But then again, our president also goes to the church to kneel down. Sigh* 7 Likes |

Let's not keep deceiving ourselves, I know many of you believe deep inside you, that Religion like Christianity and Islam are just Jewish/Arabic cultures spiritualized and have little or no truth in them. The fact that grown people get conned into submitting their hard earned cash doesnt mean that the belief system is scientifically admissible. God is simply a plane of consciousness and not a being, just what science terms threshold with its discrete wavelength and frequency in the cosmic hierarchy. All is energy, If I have my way, I will set up a church and corn you guys the more and shop for the best private jets that money can buy. Religion is just an opium of the people, especially the scientifically half-educated or ignorant. Full Stop! 1 Like |

Billyonaire: Jesus did not have overseas membership Goddamnit. Our pastors have millions of members in over 160 countries. How many members did Jesus have ? Jesus needed a boat and a donkey and he used them. There was no private jet then, I am sure Jesus would have got one, if there was jet then and if he could afford to. Mumu 1 Like |

"Despite presiding over churches with hundreds of thousands of poor people, they have all argued that they need the private jets for God’s work." Even if Baba Adeboye, Oyedepo and Ayo all decide to sell their jets and they give the money to the poor in their congregations, it will NEVER stop the poor from being poor because poverty is a thing of the mind. Secondly, when one of the women who Christ ministered to, 'wasted' a costly perfume on Jesus, people like Judas complained but even Jesus rebuked him that we would never be in short supply of poor people on earth. If the man decides to ride on a horse all over the world to minister the gospel, na people like una go first talk. Baba carry go! Let them talk!!! |

Well, I wouldn't have participated in this private jet issue knowing fully well that its like judging them. But the fact still remains that this pastors are milking their followers, both the rich and the poor, just like someone said, most of this members don't have access to pipe bourne water,most of this members lack some basic amenities which the government have failed to provide, now this vulnerable members look forward to their spiritual leaders(pastors). Lemme give an example, covenant university was built from the church's money, and if you'll agree with me, both the poor and the rich gathered that money, But the school can only be afforded by the politicians children, the rich pple in the church,but it will be very hard to find a poor man's child in such schools.... And it was built for the church. Now tell me, when you have one private jet as a man of God, I will say its for the work of God.... Certainly not four.... for christ sake......... The missionaries are suffering in the rural areas due to lack of fund to help the ministries, and you own four private jet and without the fear of God you come to tell nigerians and the world that its for the work of God Let God be the judge 2 Likes |

Christianity has gone commercial, religion is the oldest scam, ever. Africa is this backwards, cos we embraced Arabic and Jewish Traditions wholesale, and even when the owners of the cultures reject them, Africans embrace it foolishly. For Africa to advance, Faith in Religion must first be destroyed. |

Ogbeche77: But sir, the pope is the leader of over 1 billion catholics worldwide, yet he boards a commercial jet liner. If my memory has not failed me,Pope Benedict visited Benin republic two years ago on Air Italia I hope PaPa G.O gets to read what you've just written. Jesus did majority of his preaching work on foot. Remember that tree he cursed? It was because he has be trekking for soo long and was expecting to find fruits on the tree. You wanna tell me that we don't have horses or asses at that time? How much is the private jet? How much does it cost to park it in the hanger on a daily basis? How many members of the church are jobless? How many of the members can afford education? How many of them can afford to attend the church's University (established with these same people's tithe/sweat) The money spent on these private whatever could be channeled to make life of the members better. Jesus and his disciples suffered while preaching all around the world. How many of these pastors has suffered anything? All they do is enjoy a luxury lives Matthew 5:10-12 ....10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. how many pastors has gone through any of these things? What I see is money making ventures and not churches. You don't build schools under the umbrella of the church and make millions for urself. Many of these so called pastors enjoyed the free education brought by the missionaries yet they make people pay hard for education. Majority of the members has been so brainwashed that they now believe that without the church schools, no education. We all know the truth, its left for us to believe whatever we want to. With all the churches in Nigeria, has it brought any change? What's the difference? I don talk my own. 4 Likes |

Any one who see's nothing wrong with one man of God Owning more than 2 private jets bought with the sweat of gullible followers. Building tertiary institutions that are not affordable to the same followers who are contributors through offering, tithes.

Religion makes a lot of people not to reason rationally. "Pastors" will tell you that you are poor because you did not pay "Tithe" or "Offering". Have you sat down to ask yourself, if that is the case why are Muslims in Dubai rich even though they don't believe in Jesus, or why are are there millionaires and even billionaires in China when they don't believe in either Jesus or Mohammed? there are Hindus in India that are Millionaires who have nothing to do with Christianity or Islam. Does that not tell any rational human being that prosperity has nothing to do with believing in the particular religion you happen to believe in mostly by chance. Even this religion that we are all killing ourselves for, do you know the only reason we are following these religions is just because the white and Arabs came here first? If the Indians have come here to colonize us, then we all will probably be worshiping the Hindu God. Do you all really think a Hindu man that lived and died in his village as a Hindu will go to Hell or same for a Chinese man? Let's try to think and remove this religious bias and we will see that we are basically living in a fools paradise which these "pastors" are capitalizing on. Most of these "Pastors" don't even believe what is in the Bible, because if they do, they will not be doing what they are doing. 5 Likes |

Smooyis: What could Jesus not afford? Everything in the world belongs to Him. He would have anything if it is according to God's will. When he needed a donkey he simply sent his disciples to untie a particular donkey at a particular location even though he was not yet there. He is Lord of the world. We are in a modern world. We should not judge a servant of God by all these attributes so we dont commit blasphemy. God is the best judge. And how many times did Jesus rode on a donkey? You don't serve God without thinking. So because the church can't help all the members, does that stop dem from trying? 1 Like |

Cyberknight: All the brouhaha over private jets owned by church leaders is, in my opinion, misplaced. Most of these churches are actually private companies run as businesses. And if the board of directors of a business decide to use the company's profits to buy the MD/CEO a jet, they are within their rights. Any person who doesn't like it should cease contributing to that particular church company's profits by ending his attendance at its Sunday seminars and other gatherings, or raise the issue at shareholders meetings.A succint description of majority of Nigerian churches.
