He queried, “How many rooms can somebody sleep in one night? How many cars can somebody drive at once?
Well, he has no right to tell another what to spend their money on neither how to spend it. Their money, their prerogative. He should respect that. I'm sure he does not have only a car.
“Unemployment like water, communities that parade rich men are dying of no potable drinking water. We have communities of big men where there are no hospitals and no access roads. What a ‘yeyecious’ and useless bigness of life,” he added.
There is a difference between morality & responsibility. The responsibility lies with the government officials. Nigerians should hold their government officials accountable not private citizens - who are at the mercy of morality - which is subjective.
[s]That's the same thing as saying a thief who shoots you pays for your child's school fees. It's wrong on all levels. [/s]
Looting should not occur even for philamtrophic reasons that's why it's called looting.
It's not the same thing... it's like when someone robs you only to " help" you by giving you some of your money he stole without you knowing he robbed you
no this country would have been like america if a.it had a welfare scheme and built more council flats b.encouraged technical education and sciences and arts rather than mere certificate eduation c.invited investors and created a suitable business atmosphere contrary to popular belief a large majority of americans are poor they only have a roof on their head and food to eat and cheap clothing politicians all over the world even in china are corrupt so that "big man" part is pointless
MhizzAJ: Paul Eneche you can say that again So many useless rich men but i love their money and not their useless lifestyle They should keep being useless
The last line makes no sense to folks with brain!
Of what use is the money of a useless person?
Jay Z in one of his songs asked a pertinent question:
ajoyeleke: That moment when u want to stone ur friend, u missed and the stone hit an old woman and the woman pick up the stone and put it in her* *bag. Just know that u are not among the leaders of tomorrow.
Your joke is stale and outdated.
Listen to the message on the thread and maybe it will help you to stop being a mentally-ret@rded troll of boring jokes
LordKO: Unfortunately, the poor aren't fighting for emancipation from poverty and liberation from the perceived subjugation from the rich to better the society, but to oppress those they're better off than.
The problem has little to do with financial segregation and disparities so to say, but it has everything to do with poor ethical leanings of the majority. For one, corruption is more prevalent among the downtrodden than the rich. However, I hold no brief for the corrupt elite.
Spot on.
Don't you see the poor being die hard fans of the rich.
The mentality of the average Nigerian towards privilege, wealth and opportunity is sickening
owukpa: For the umpteenth time, Dr. Paul Enenche, Senior Pastor, Dunamis International Gospel Centre has poured out his heart on the state of affairs in Nigeria.
Dr. Enenche, who has been vocal against bad governance in the nation, said it was lamentable that the rich kept oppressing the poor to get richer while the poor got poorer in a country acclaimed to be the giant of Africa.
Recall that the fiery preacher had recently revealed seven things leaders should do to avert all the problems in Nigeria.
According to the outspoken cleric, some political leaders had been in power for years, yet, their communities lack basic social amenities.
Speaking on Sunday during a live service monitored on Dunamis TV at Area 1, Abuja headquarters of his church, Enenche, who spoke on the topic, Wisdom for Finances, said some leaders go about spending money on frivolous things while their subjects suffered in abject poverty.
He queried, “How many rooms can somebody sleep in one night? How many cars can somebody drive at once?
“I heard one time that some people went to a rich man's house to work and when they opened the ceiling only to discover wads of dollars stacked up there which were spoiling. It is said that such money benefited or profited nobody. In fact, some people are so addicted to money, not knowing that addiction leads to destruction.
“There are so many foolish and useless rich men in Africa and Nigeria. I don’t know of any country has more money in foreign accounts than this nation. All languishing away!
“Unemployment like water, communities that parade rich men are dying of no potable drinking water. We have communities of big men where there are no hospitals and no access roads. What a ‘yeyecious’ and useless bigness of life,” he added.
Dr. Enenche during service gave an instance of a popular medical doctor from Anambra State, who had many hospitals around the world and decided to turn his village around.
According to him, the God-fearing medical doctor went to his village, demolished all the idols and changed the name to Umuchuckwu (Children of God’s community).
He said the doctor also erected a 16-storey building diagnostic center for his people, tarred their roads, sent children to school, provided them with basic amenities and he’s still living in a rented apartment.
He quipped, “That is money with meaning. What if we have just one thousand of such persons in Nigeria, this country would have been like America.
“But sad enough, all they do is to fly fromAmerica to India and from India to Dubaiand other foreign countries on medical tourism, empty Nigeria’s treasury just to make other countries rich.
“Put billions of dollars in another country so they can use it to develop themselves and when the greedy rich man dies, that country takes over the money. That is what we know how to do here.
“So sad we have this mentality of not letting others to rise, you have seen instances where a man sees his bother’s name for appointment and knocks it off because he does not want him or anyone else to rise. Beloveth, note this, riches without outreach equals wretchedness,” he added.
He revealed further, “I recall when some Americans came to Nigeria some years ago and they said they wanted to see how an African village looks like. It was inBenue State.
“So, I asked one of the pastors whose village was close by to take us there because mine is like an hour ahead.
“We went to the village and saw many huts and the people entered and asked, where is the air conditioner? And we told them, that is the air conditioner there, if you open the small window there, air will come in and condition the room. They asked for toilet and were shocked there was none in the hut.
“See what happened, we stepped into four huts, and we told the people, because we have stepped into these huts, we are breaking them down and building new houses with modern materials.
“We also went to the primary school opposite same place and we decided to rebuild the school.
“When it was commissioned, the deputy governor of the state went with us.
“Amazingly, it was during the commissioning that the village head told us that those huts we entered belonged to some orphans, but we never knew.
“He said the huts belonged to children whose parents had died and they had no money to even change the thatched roof. Rain was beating them during the rainy season inside the same huts.
“They had to labour on farms to fend for themselves. We were not aware of all these before we took our action.
“We didn’t go there with such intention, but we saw the need and God quickened our heart to change their story. “This is amidst countless other community development projects we have consistently embarked upon over the years.
“I am not here to score any point, God knows, the only reason I said this is because examples communicate principles, illustrations communicate instruction.
“Note this, you are not rich with the amount of money or things you have, you are rich with number of people you have reached.”
The cleric also prayed against killers and their sponsors in the nation, averring that anyone behind the killings in the nation will know no peace.
This kind of talk make me cry and laugh at the same time cos it's what people like to hear but it's not the whole truth...who give this useless rich men front seat in church and mosque?who laugh with them and clear road for them? Who euogise them and snap picture with them? Who have been marrying the kids of these useless rich men has he called them? Are they "pastors and imams" not the one....we all cry about them in our closet but once we see them we laugh and smile with them ,we even start posting the pictures up and down....the truth is that this country can never be better cos a whole lot of us are hypocrites... developed country grow cos they ain't shy to bullshit.it anyone that goes contrary to acceptable norms no matter the status of the person but here defend them once we see them and then come online to rant for example the hypocrisy of ganduje wedding and hisbah police couldn't do anything,the emir was there and couldn't do anything,but it were to be an ordinary person, the story would have been different...smh
Mariangeles: It's not the same thing... it's like when someone robs you only to " help" you by giving you some of your money he stole without you knowing he robbed you
Lol. I find this funny
Which politician isn't a looter.
From nowhere he starts acting all philantrophic. It would always be asked where did he get the money?

Well there is not one Rich pastor out there than can translate all the poor members from poverty into middle class or wealth.
says who it oly takes one man to teach ppl how to get out of poverty
So your advice should be directed at wealthy christians and not necessarily pastors.
are pastors not christians or are they not wealthy
Plus the percentage of pastors that are very economically buoyant are less than 1% of the entire pastorate population.
let them do their 1% which is better than 0%
The majority of pastors are usually of the average family income of the congregations they pastor.
But as far as liberating peoples mentality to open themselves to creativity and hardwork, I can tell you some pastors are leading the way. I recently litstened to one of Adeyemi's messages on finance and I could only conclude that if you are a member of Daystar and you are poor then it is most likely your fault.
i wonder why every one prefers the pastor that say they will get rich without working
I have listened to Oyedepo on a number of business messages and I could only think that if I enact that admonition he gave out then I would have no choice than to succeed. That in itself is worth more than giving me fish...
toh so clearly you don't beleive his enacment
But note this, Christ commandment is that we feed, clothe the poor- I believe we should do this as Christians. But in a continent with so many poor people I think we should also work towards pointing the way of prosperity to our government and people.
thorpido: I agree.Some things are just insane. I know a rich man with a mansion in the UK.No-one lives in the mansion yet he has a cleaning company come in from time to time to clean the building.
whats the difference btw gold digger and useless rich man
MhizzAJ: Paul Eneche you can say that again So many useless rich men but i love their money and not their useless lifestyle They should keep being useless
Everything they do is either to benefit self, family and relatives,
nope only the rich benefit themself and their relatives everything masses do is to benefit their boss or bbnaija contestants
Nothing bad when you provide for yourself and family legitly but doing so illegally by embezzling public funds and making others' suffer because of that is terrible.
no law no sin
In the words of the Wisest and wealthiest king who ever lived.
Proverbs 22:16 He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want
the poor oppress themselves and give to the rich every single day
Proverbs 13:22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
poor men refuse to spend and leave debt for their chudren and their sinful change is giving to the hardworking rich
rose54321: Honestly, I have been saying this. Corruption is bad and all but if only they used the loot for productive ventures - opening factories, companies etc. Rather than just buying empty houses abroad or stacking it up in 1 hole.
MIKOLOWISKA: how is it insane to keep your bugout base clean
It's not the cleaning of the house that is the problem but buying a house (a politician)that no-one is even living in and having to still spend a huge sum on its maintenance.

do you have more than 1 shoe why did you buy it since you only have one leg. at his level the house is like a drop in the ocean he is not on this earth for you he is for himself you get rich then share your money to the poor and see how long it lasts
MIKOLOWISKA: do you have more than 1 shoe why did you buy it since you only have one leg. at his level the house is like a drop in the ocean he is not on this earth for you he is for himself you get rich then share your money to the poor and see how long it lasts
How long has Warren Buffet's money lasted despite giving out so much to the poor?How about Oprah Winfrey with all she gives out?What of Bill Gates' donations?How much has it made these people poor? What the pastor is saying and we are reiterating is that so much can be done by the rich to help the poor.It's their money quite alright but they could help more people.
By the way,I have more than one shoe and end up giving out one or two.
thorpido: How long has Warren Buffet's money lasted despite giving out so much to the poor?
hahahahahaha you actually think he gave his money to the poor,cute
How about Oprah Winfrey with all she gives out?What of Bill Gates' donations?How much has it made these people poor?
hahahahahahaha you so funny to beleive these agents of the devil
What the pastor is saying and we are reiterating is that so much can be done by the rich to help the poor.It's their money quite alright but they could help more people.
depends on how you got rich capitalist yes rent seeker can never do anything to help the poor
By the way,I have more than one shoe and end up giving out one or two.
d remaining shoes nko.why not buy just one till it falls apart
MIKOLOWISKA: hahahahahaha you actually think he gave his money to the poor,cute hahahahahahaha you so funny to beleive these agents of the devil depends on how you got rich capitalist yes rent seeker can never do anything to help the poor d remaining shoes nko.why not buy just one till it falls apart
You don't believe in their charity works?
I can't have just one pair of shoes just as I can't eat just one type of food.
Mariangeles: If only looters reinvested their loots to create employment and enrich lives, I wouldn't mind...
The first question we need to ask is how and why they stole such amount of money. You will be surprised that it's purely greed laced with kleptomaniac interest. Stealing what they don't need and don't know how to use. So the answer will be wickedness. Even if they reinvest such monies, they wouldn't mind to walk on the corpse of whosoever works with them in order to secure such investment let alone cross their part.
