yes, by opening a church and blowing. billions every month in form of tithes



You are not okay...... How will a whole church glorify poverty.... So u mean all deeper life members are poor.... Learn to say something new.....It is not that deeperlife glorifies poverty.... Nigga there are a lot of rich people in deeper life who dont show off just like others do...


And there are also a lot of poor people in other popular churches but beacause you keep seeing the rich ones building and buying expensive shits upandan that is why u are saying this....


Be wise

Alakija who happens to be the richest black woman is a christian got hers from investing in oil business.the chairperson of first bank Mrs ibukun awosika is a billionaire she started out with her firm producing plastic chairs and she is a christian that you can verge for and know that is pure money made out of business.I can tell you one of executive directors in Procterand gamble he is a billionaire and even a pastor while in Nigeria with christ life church.jumoke adenowo might not say she is one but on the toplist of forbes as an entrepreneur doing great she is an architect and has made major designs and international recognised one..quite a number who won't shout or make the noise yet they are rich through diligence hardwork,perseverance and ideas that makes the difference.

You obviously don't know what you are talking about. You cannot even live your every day life in Nigeria without cutting corners.
You definitely cannot get involved in big business in Nigeria without cutting corners.
You should read up on how Mrs Alakija got an oil block from Babangida, and suddenly jumped from being Mrs Mariam Babangida's hair dresser or fashion designer to oil tycoon. I'm surprised you also didn't mention T. Y. Danjuma, also a Christian, and how he also suddenly got rich from allocation of oil Block. You think you can get oil block allocated to you in Nigeria without cutting corners? Maybe you don't understand what the argument is all about.
Mrs Awosika is a real and genuine business lady. I have respect for productive people like her. However, like just about every business person in Nigeria, I expect that she would be cutting corners in order to get along in business. You don't expect her to come in public and be telling how they get things done by money changing hands here and there. It's near impossible to operate in Nigeria and not cut corners, unless you don't understand what it means to cut corners.

Being a Christian shouldn't prevent one from analysing.Why are there so many churches in Nigeria and so many unemployed.
Is God impressed by all these buildings some of which were once warehouses meant for factories?
Why is Nigeria so poor and yet so religious ?

Because majority of the population are ignorant.

Mr statiscian! Nigeria has 40% christians. You really said it well with that fallacious statement. undecided

Seems you have reading comprehension. I said at least 40%. I'm estimating 40% and above. That means it could be 45, 50, 60% etc.
Come up with your own statistics or keep quiet.

Is there any law requiring people to pay taxes on cash gifts?

If you pray for a sick man for example and he gets healed and comes back to reward you with say 10 million naira, would you have to pay taxes on the money

Typical Nigerian.

I guess Judas wasn't a Christian then and shouldn't be used as an example to buttress your headline

Who said Judas wasn't a Christian? He was among the early Jewish Christians, one of the disciples.

Probably you are older than me, but because my words and insights elude you, you now think i am your grandpa.
I am not your grandpa sorry to disappoint you, probably he is dead and gone, may his gentle soul RIP.
i was only trying to say you where disrespectful to other religions and people who are not christains in your previous comment and not to me.
You dont owe me anything not even respect but you owe yourself 'understanding', bc understanding makes or mar a man.

Now you understand....you are welcome!

GRANDPA is that all?

"Be it unto thine hand maiden according to your words" or something like that were once spoken in the scriptures. People tend to become what is expected of them. Expect good and so shall it be. Expect conflict and it shall be so.

"When you look at a thing differently, that thing you look at itself begins to change."

Words from chrono crusade.

Nigeria is a mess but who will fix it.You and I.
Start by obeying traffic lights when all the cars behind you are honking like lunatics and telling you Waka.
Also in the new Nigeria we don't wind down and throw thrash out of our car windows.Baby steps my dear and one day it will happen.

We have agreement on this. It's an uphill task though, especially since we are talking about a society where insincerity is the norm.

Smh a typical African man whose mentality is downgraded already that believes everyone is cutting corners to be richanged or must have to.in life there are helpers and everyone needs an helper alakija got her help from whoever u too pray you get such an help and you did be one rather than this your no go anywhere till u cut corners there are Christians who are rich without cutting corners I repeat .thank God u did accept of Awosika did she get there without help?maybe u need go ask her

Abraham was a rich man, yet he was very righteous. Job was super rich, yet God bragged with Job's righteousness and the devil became jealous.

Any god that makes you poor is a useless god.


Abraham and Job were not christians

It is left for God to bless who he wants

He blesses some with talents
He blesses some with riches
He blesses some with longlife

Remember Abraham Isaac and Jacob were very rich
Paul the most hardworking of the apostles wasn't rich ....na tent he dey make
dude Paul was a lawyer .
