It appears marriage is now a boundage as once you get in, even if your partner begins to behave like the devil himself, u have no choice. Very sad indeed. cry A marriage can only work if both parties work towards its success. People can easily abandon marriages to deal with their partners. This might assist us in achieving the essence of marriage.

I always look at issues happening in the church from what Jesus would av done angle. the fact that Jesus did not allow the prostitute in the bible to be stoned doesnt mean he condole prostitution. pastor ituah is trying to avoid commiting more sins that was ahy he remarried. maybe the church prefer him to stay single and be avn sex with all the ladies in his congregation cos that is what most redeemed pastor are known for.
Re: Pastors Divided Over Sack Of Ighodalo Of Rccg by opediileke(f): 1:19pm On Aug 18, 2009
Jesus would av said go and sin no more. He wont tell him to go and divorce his wife since his ex is already married before him. it means the adultery case has bn established so he can carry on with his new wife

What a load of nonsense. What has race/skin-color/nationality got to do with this? Shameful post to say the least.
You are not fit to give advice to anyone.

And who are U to tell who is fit to give adviceCan U see U're the only ignorant one around here and if you keep on with ur ITK,then U'll end up, lipsrsealed There are things that we do that are culture bound, Yeah!!! That's why it's hard to see a black suicide bomber and that's why people who are suicidal are mostly Asians and that's why most blacks in leadership positions don't wanna leave esp Nigerians.Look at people in political positions,national Team coaches E.T.C.I've seen People resigning without being told simply because they broke the rules of engagement or simply because the rules disregard their policies.

@ Real Truth

U think leaders should be normal people right? My friend's dad married the second wife and till he died,he was given a sit @ the back of the church despite the fact he owns the building where the church is erected and responsible for almost all the stuffs in church financially.That's Seven Day Adventist Church for you.

Back to pastor Ighodalo,they were at his wedding but he should have resigned honorably.They did not tell him he can't re-marry but he won't be able to continue as a leader and he can go join Tony Rapu or any of those clergies advocating for his unfair treatment,na by force abi na RCCG be the only Church?

In this case, the law that says you cannot remarry after divorce unless your spouse dies should step aside and let wisdom step in. The spouse has remarried, so the pastor should be allowed to remarry as well. This way both parties are happy.


This is akin to what happened in Jesus time. The law says you should not do anything on the sabbath day, agreed!! But Jesus Christ said you can step aside the law to do good to another human being.

Whats the principal thing being applied here:wisdom


'The law was meant for man and not man for the law', so says Christ
Re: Pastors Divided Over Sack Of Ighodalo Of Rccg by Nezan(m): 2:45pm On Aug 18, 2009
I think the vow that was taken at the Pastor's first wedding included these lines ',,,,,,,take you as my lawfully wedded wife,,,,,, until death do us part'.

The meaning been that whatever happens, the woman remains his wife until she dies. So, technically, no matter what happened between them, in the eye of the Lord, they are still man and wife until one of them dies.

The man ought not to have remarried.

We do not know if the divorce was caused by adultery. since the pastor waited 10 years before remarry, I think he should be cut a slack, or do they prefer him to stay single and be a danger to the beautiful sisters in the choir and ushering unit?
Re: Pastors Divided Over Sack Of Ighodalo Of Rccg by saknel: 3:38pm On Aug 18, 2009
@ Sonye, what bothers me in this whole story is why was pastor Ituah allowed to remarry in the 1st place, if the rule was in existence when he was about remarrying then he should have told then that remarrying would mean that he would no longer be allowed to pastor the church, i cant understand why he would now be sacked after 2yrs of marraige, personally i dont think God takes all these things as hard as we human beings do, he understands a lot of these things far better than we do,
Re: Pastors Divided Over Sack Of Ighodalo Of Rccg by pinemelon: 4:24pm On Aug 18, 2009
I dont attend RCCG but its a church i respect its leadership because of his high level of humility. The pastor didnt just get married and the bible has not changed and WILL NEVER CHANGE. 2 years after the marriage, he remained a pastor. Were they sleeping or forgot the scriptures that arebeing quoted now? Is the "G.O" expected to be influenced with his level of his education and knowledge of God's word? In my own opinion, that decision is a bullshit and i have no option but to believe that, there is politics everywhere. Even in the House of God? On a 2nd tot, will it be better if the man is messing up with ladies in the choir and ushering instead of remarrying? Hypocrates!!! Only God knows who are His jare!
Re: Pastors Divided Over Sack Of Ighodalo Of Rccg by qblaze(m): 4:37pm On Aug 18, 2009
You guys just don't get it.

The bible allows for remarriage if your wife is guilty of fornication. The onus is on our church, RCCG to prove that Ms Suinner, Ituah's first wife, didn't sleep with another man (or woman) during their marriage. And since, the definition of sex has evolved over the years, this could be very difficult.


As for me, I will continue to enjoy the wonderful sexual benefits of being a "Redeemer". Their girls are the best Christian nymphos I've met.
Re: Pastors Divided Over Sack Of Ighodalo Of Rccg by tunery004(m): 4:50pm On Aug 18, 2009
as a member of christ church the parish which pastor ituah presides on i think it was necessary 4 him 2 take a new wife and the 1st wife in question as commited adualtry by remarrying so i beg daddy g.o to pls re-instate our pastor
Re: Pastors Divided Over Sack Of Ighodalo Of Rccg by Junee(f): 4:51pm On Aug 18, 2009
I wonder if these people were sleeping for two years and suddenly woke up!

I personally feel that this is the handy work of some peeps in that congregation "green with envy" of:

1. Pastor ituah rising fame in the R.C.C.G Christaindom

2. And the beautiful woman he made his wife.


The question is were they all on sleeping pills before now or what

Wasn't it pastors that consulted counselling for them?

Wasn't there notice before the wedding dates?

wasn't there officiating pators on the wedding day?

Why this now? So annoying  angry
Re: Pastors Divided Over Sack Of Ighodalo Of Rccg by 9ja4eva: 5:16pm On Aug 18, 2009
I don't want to know what happened.I just feel it is not right to sack him.Well he shouldn't cry over spilled milk,
he should go open his own church.Tori end
Re: Pastors Divided Over Sack Of Ighodalo Of Rccg by jedijedi(m): 6:01pm On Aug 18, 2009
I think this case has alot of gray areas. Please I will like to appeal to everyone posting comments not to put sins that on yourselves. Our goals as christians is to make it to heaven not to take the place of God - JUDGE! Everything happening is a strategy of satan to discredit the work of God. Please lets be sensitive to his strategy.
Re: Pastors Divided Over Sack Of Ighodalo Of Rccg by AIYEKOOTO1: 6:07pm On Aug 18, 2009
Has anybody given it a tot that removing him as a pastor is not synonymous to stopping him from being a christian,which is the most important.
Being a pastor is an office which has requirements.Break the rule,leave the office.
As a pastor, u go a mile,u followers go thousands of miles!!!!!!!!!!!!
And please the house of God is not a place where you practice democrazy -- GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE,FOR THE PEOPLE AND BY THE PEOPLE!

I think I beg to disagree with you on this Mr Gblaze, what happens to the Christ Embassy babes, or Winners, or are the not Christian enough.

I think its just a matter of politics like the churches in the middle ages. I think Nigeria just got around to that point when the church in the middle ages had more intrigue than the modern business world.

Maybe he should start his own church like Rapu. He's sure going to get loads of worshippers. Another Church Plc soon in the offing, watch out!
Re: Pastors Divided Over Sack Of Ighodalo Of Rccg by qblaze(m): 6:54pm On Aug 18, 2009
@Z-Murda,

I've had 3 Winners girls and 1 Christ Embassy freak. Believe me, the RCCG ones are much more adventurous. In fact one of them poured ice cream on my monster schvantz.

I screamed Alleluia.

To prevent confuion and misconception of bible doctrine , Pastor Ighodalo should be allow to decide his fate, before then he should be advise to go back to his bible and get it well understood before taking any action that could destabilized the cHURCH

Re: Pastors Divided Over Sack Of Ighodalo Of Rccg by Nobody: 7:20pm On Aug 18, 2009
anyway, its also quite possible there's a lot of politics involved aside from the main issue.

After all, the marriage took place two years ago.

And what's with all these (ex) "beauty queens" involved in controversial relationships? Is their dating pool so restricted?

 Perfect analysis! The truth is that a lot has been happening its just that this is big fish,,,I mean Ituah,,,,check up my earlier post on one Pastor Israel Ajayi of RCCG too,,,within a year his wife he got wedded to left him for another pastor who had more money than Ajayi,,,the reason been that Ajayi failed to fulfil his part of the vow of marrying the lady,,,

good point sha.

maybe RCCG needs to rethink its current methods of screening pastors.

Let them have some years of experience and not be under a certain age (eg 40) before ordaining them.

just a thought- not saying its practical.

The truth is that many of these RCCG Parish pastors re not even Born-Again,,,the target to have a church at every corner has rubbish the essence of what salvation and clear-cut relationship with ought to be.How can assume everybody 2 be pastors,,,its funny the way do it though; that is why U could have Akingbola Erastus,Bunmi Oni, Felix Ohiwere as pastors in the church,,,,who knows if OBJ is even a pastor there?
We all can't be pastor,,,Religion and christianity has been an avenue where even the very intelligent can be manipulated,coerced and manouvered.Imagine churches having a constitution on how the church should be operated,,,who drafted those constitutions? re not mere men? its so funny,,may God deliver us from RELIGIOUSITY!!!

Well if dis is true. Then it is quite unfortunate. Cuz most of these guys in the church already knew what they were gonna do otherwise they shouldn't have attended the wedding two years ago when he got married. So why cry foul now! I dont get it? Its all dirty politics. Politics everywhere even in the churches. No wonder you hear pastors fighting to be posted or transferred to juicey parishes of the same church. No pastor wants to be posted to the villages. Yet they will say being a pastor is a calling from God. Bloody hypocrites. That why naija is stagnant.
