Lies from the pit of hell.

She don't because Catholic Church especially in Nigeria is strongly against Feminist and Feminism.
....look at efulefu saying when she finds a progressive Catholic Church outside the country, she will attend...
Like the basilica in Rome and France I guess...

So the progressive Catholic Churches just sprang out from the tin air i guess?

Please, who is supplying weed for this feminist?

In Catholic, It's a tradition for "communicants" not all attendees to fast before mass due to the reception of the Holy Eucharistic, except for the sick and elderly. Thats what this feminist see as a problem...shes just a pergan in disguise, she absolutely knows nothing about the faith, norms and tradition of the Catholic Church. even if am not to partake in the reception of the Holy Eucharistic, I find it difficult to eat before going to mass.

Book no dey again to write, na chasing clout now be her priority

With all that you've just written here, do you consider yourself a Christian? A Catholic?

And it is scriptural to fast before your holy eucharist (whatsoever that means).
Problems of catholicism is teaching philosophies of men than the Bible.

Repeatedly, I’ve said this is the future of Nigeria. Religion ultimately doesn’t make sense. For many it’s only a symbol of cultural affiliation more than anything else.

I don't think the church makes any money compulsory for members to pay including tithe....you contribute to the church according to your financial capacity....
after all, there are lots of people who don't pay a dime and they still worship in the same church....don't bad-mouth the Catholic Church... I




The church doesn’t force you but when you have to leave your seat to move to the front and those ushers hitting the pews and asking everyone to move ,it is nothing but a subtle pressure valve

Remember that when it comes to burial of loved ones they are very good at calculating levie, building contribution and whatnot that have to be paid

LoL, somebody for her village don oppress her with one donation wey dwarf her own.

She may be the most popular in her village but she is definitely not the richest.

When you compare Catholic Church to others in term of request for donations etc, you will know that catholic dey nice.

You can even sit comfortably even don't have offering money in Catholic Church but in some, people do miss service because they don't have offering money.

How? Some churches don't do donation

The practice of Catholicism is like CLIMBING A LADDER —The starting point of which is BAPTISM GROUNDED ON LOVE OF GOD & BEIGHBOUR , FAITH & KNOWLEDGE IN ITS TENETS & TEACHINGS . Ladder of the 7 Gifts of the HOLY SPIRIT , THE 4 CARDINAL VIRTUES , EXPRESSION OF FAITH IN CONCRETE HOOD ACTIONS & WORKS .etc This ladder is a tall one —
Most of us receive Baptism as infants , CATECHISM for HOLY COMMUNION & CONFIRMATION AS CHILDREN btw 7 - 12 years of age .
After that , we do little or nothing to grow this Love & Faith in order to continue ascending the Spiritual Ladder . We immerse ourselves in worldly pursuits , academics , intellectual pursuits , professional& careers , & consequently stagnate spiritually , remaining on the lowest rung of the ladder at adulthood, totally disenchanted, without that burning fire of the Holy Spirit .
We really do have a lot to learn & do as Catholics.
It is never too late to start . All it takes , the Will , the decision to start . And it is not done externally but INTERIORLY.
“SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND “

Religion stains whatever it touches. Religion has caused division among senior advocate of Nigeria. Ignoring the problem of religion in this country never manages to push the problem away. Ignoring the problem often compounds the problem until it grows into a mountain .

. An average Christian wishes  everyone is a Christian. An average Muslim wishes everyone becomes a Muslim. Each tries to project his desire to the other. Whenever a Muslim is in power, Christians fear he is on a mission to islamise the country.  Whenever a Christian becomes president, Muslims fear the same.This fear makes it difficult for them to cooperate amicably . Christian trust Christian leaders, Muslims trust Muslim leaders.


Our education system is fueling this saperation.  From primary school, children learn mathematics, English language, Basic science and other languages together. But when it comes to religious studies, Christians are divided from Muslims. This continues until the child finishes secondary school. The school saperates the children as kids and expect them to miraculously work together as adults.

The academia should develop a general religious knowledge curriculum. At an early age, children ought to be introduced to all form of religion outside the religion of their parents. A growing child should have basic knowledge of Christianity, Islam, African Traditional Religion, Buddhism etc.  Limiting him to one knowledge alone create a narrow mind and makes him difficult to tolerate and work with another Religion for which he never knew existed. When we delve into other belief, we become intrigued by the similarities. We become more accepting .


Christian should not wish everyone were a Christian. If everyone thinks alike, the world would be bored. God created us different for a reason . Muslim should wish every Christian develop a greater understanding and acceptance of Islam while remaining firmly within their own Religion.

Happy Sunday my guy, trust are doing well. First thank u for the copy n paste which has been prepared for u by ur so called Imams in order to discredit Christianity. Now let me begin by schooling u about Christianity .
Christianity is a life that reflects d life of Jesus Christ as reflected in the new testament. Having said that, majority of the scriptures u quoted were d order of the old testament as God does not relate with man in that way again as shown in the new testament. Christianity stem out of the new testament. Alot of the disciples in the old testament where persecuted, killed without picking up weapons to fight back.
Now come to Nigeria and the world in recent time.
How many times have u seen Christians fighting in d name of Jesus ?
How many times have u seen people fighting war and chanting Allah Akhubar?
How many times have u seen Christians fighting or killed an individual who blaspheme with Christ name ? What about in Muslim?
Houses have been burnt, people have been killed in recent times all in the name of d Muslim religion. More 95 percent of terrorist fight defending ur so called prophet and ur religion.
Boko haram today emanate from the teachings of ur Koran. So my dear brother d truth is so obvious, stop fighting it. I would never pick up arms to fight in d name of Christ but in the name of Muhammed it has been witness countless time.
Lastly, you could have just made ur point without asking me to shut up, it basically shows how intolerant u could be in d name of religion.

The practice of Catholicism is like CLIMBING A LADDER —The starting point of which is BAPTISM GROUNDED ON LOVE OF GOD & BEIGHBOUR , FAITH & KNOWLEDGE IN ITS TENETS & TEACHINGS . Ladder of the 7 Gifts of the HOLY SPIRIT , THE 4 CARDINAL VIRTUES , EXPRESSION OF FAITH IN CONCRETE HOOD ACTIONS & WORKS .etc This ladder is a tall one —
Most of us receive Baptism as infants , CATECHISM for HOLY COMMUNION & CONFIRMATION AS CHILDREN btw 7 - 12 years of age .
After that , we do little or nothing to grow this Love & Faith in order to continue ascending the Spiritual Ladder . We immerse ourselves in worldly pursuits , academics , intellectual pursuits , professional& careers , & consequently stagnate spiritually , remaining on the lowest rung of the ladder at adulthood, totally disenchanted, without that burning fire of the Holy Spirit .
We really do have a lot to learn & do as Catholics.
It is never too late to start . All it takes , the Will , the decision to start . And it is not done externally but INTERIORLY.
“SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND “






All that infant baptism is unscriptural and what does confirmation confer on you beyond the catechism knowledge of memorizing questions and answers

[s] Happy Sunday my guy, trust are doing well. First thank u for the copy n paste which has been prepared for u by ur so called Imams in order to discredit Christianity. Now let me begin by schooling u about Christianity .
Christianity is a life that reflects d life of Jesus Christ as reflected in the new testament. Having said that, majority of the scriptures u quoted were d order of the old testament as God does not relate with man in that way again as shown in the new testament. Christianity stem out of the new testament. Alot of the disciples in the old testament where persecuted, killed without picking up weapons to fight back.
Now come to Nigeria and the world in recent time.
How many times have u seen Christians fighting in d name of Jesus ?
How many times have u seen people fighting war and chanting Allah Akhubar?
How many times have u seen Christians fighting or killed an individual who blaspheme with Christ name ? What about in Muslim?

Terrorists groups like the current xtian Lord's salvation army?
Who says I'm Muslim by the way? Your own religion has historically committed far worse atrocities and you're typing nonsense here.
Is it not the same God that revealed the old testament or is it the new testament that's expecting your "loving" Jesus's second coming as a conquering warlord. Prince of peace my foot

None of the listed churches have donation portals... What they have is alternative means of giving your offering and tithes I use them very often

The Catholic Churches have adopted their method and are present in Quickteller app.

If you used the app like I do, go to religious binstitions and open it.


Winners, I know for now, is presently building neslry 10,000 churches across Nigeria... No offering, no launching, no donation.. Just once was it announced and that was it...

You are still on this matter?

You don't know what you're saying please.

What they have is alternative route/meas of blalabla...
They only announce the buildings 10000 churches once blablabla...

What is youth project, building etc doing on that portal? Is it for fancy?

I don't have much to say on this, I have told you my view on it earlier on.

I purposely decided not to ask you the difference between giving and donation in this aspect.

Below are attached screenshot of what you claim(donation) doesn't exist, maybe this one is winners chapel Jupiter bench?

I have many but I can only attach these 4.

First 1 is general, 2nd and 3rd are winners chapel Nigeria, and the last one is winners chapel USA.

I am not against it but I'm against you making it look like it is strictly a Catholic thing, of which winners, redeem etc own are more pronounced.

Mister, the nearly ten thousand churches been built across Nigeria was announced once and till date no further announcement has been made neither has there been any form of collection to that effect in any service.


They only announced it once and it was during Shiloh and said anyone interested can give and mark the envelop as Shiloh sacrifice.... I have gone to Winners since that day even this Sunday, no announcement of any kind relating to it


They just believe that once is enough for a nearly ten thousand Church building in different locations across Nigeria.


I know churches that would have embarked on launching, church appeal fund, raffle draws, levies to raise the money and the project would still run for decades.


I have a book about the building of the covenant university. The building of the school was announced just once but in seven months, all necessary structures was in place. .... Hostels, staff quarters and all

Nuc came and approved the facilities


What I mean by donation is when you arrange a launching and men and women are invited with father and mother of the day, special guest and chief launcher...that doesn't happen in those churches... Their offerings pattern don't put any form of pressure on you... Just put it in an envelope and when the offering basket gets to your seat, you drop it in there.... You don't leave your seat pew by pew..no.


Those online platforms of the church can only be used by men and women who are versatile with online transfers, yet only during offering in church are members reminded that they can give online if they chose


Do you know that in WINNERS, no offering is collected during wedding? I have been to wedding many times and I asked and they said, it is against their rule to collect offering during wedding ceremonies

He is right, I mean the guy you quoted, what you are saying can't be likened to someone that is well rooted in catholic doctrines or familiar with it.

In Catholic Church, if there is a major project that needs the support of members, donation for such projects are made once, and the donation day is normally announced prior to that day.

Another one is, they can do it in form of collection or sometimes no collection just a plea for support, without any special announcement, for example if they want to visit the prison, motherless homes, replace old equipments etc.
After that day, collection can now be made for it.

Note: This are mostly done by parishes not by the Catholic Church in general.

Who funded missionary works that brought Christianity to Nigeria? Winners chapel, right?
The major NGO works going on in the northern part and other areas, which church is funding the one being funded by religious bodies? Winners chapel, right? .

Mostly, what they launch are harvest/harvest bronchure, for others they do make announcement in the form of plea.

Unlike others that do organized donation for everything.

During covid19 that things where rugged for some people, they stopped certain collections but your church even opened more ways to collect.

A church waited for once in a year program to get donations, don't you know that Shiloh is a program that brings them together and it's the best time for them to make that kind of donation and also get better funds, that is why they can't continue in different winners churches afterwards but to open a portal to receive the donation.

I decided to end that argument on the other line because what you are saying ain't true.

Missionaries didn't come by the catholic funding but by the queens seeking to know about the other world... There is queen Isabella that funded those that came with Christopher Columbus.

The Anglicans came as missionary society first to us... ... I am recalling things thought in my primary school days

When you STATE MAJOR NGO works, you should be able to substantiate it with name and locations of the major works being funded... During the covid 19 lockdowns, we saw Dangote and Bua giving in billions in the North particularly in Kano, their home state...

Winners gave ambulances and medicals to the government
And many more organizations and churches came forward with support

The biggest ngo in the north today's is Dangote fundstiin and Abduralman of BUA group... They do it big

When you state, religious bodies, you make it seem like the catholic church gives money to other churches for ngo which is absolutely inaccurate and a big misinformation meant to massage somebody ego

Winners don't do or organise donation or launching, don't do bazaar sales, raffle draws, harvest... Anything make brings men and women together and start announcing, I make a personal contribution of so and so amount is not done... Every giving is private between you and you....

Shiloh is a word session where the entire congregation is hooked to the headquarters church.... Offerings is taken the normal way it is done during church service... The only extraordinary event is Shiloh sacrifice.. You also package it like offering in an envelope and drop it in the offering basket when it comes to your seat.. You don't leave your position for anything.


A pastor can be sacked inWINNERS if he starts asking people to who can give so and so amount to stand up or come to the altar

It is against their doctrine to collect offering during weddings.


In that church, it is to each as he is willing.... No pressure, no calling anybody to see what he can do... No chief launcher... It is as the Lor days in our heart

You can go and investigate this claim

They are constructing 10,000 church across Nigeria, no offering, no launching... Just that announcement during Shiloh and those God laid it I. Their hearts are giving

Young man, stop quoting me with your wrong information.

So the queen sent the slesians/don Bosch missionaries from Italyand other missionaries that came from other countries excluding England?

I sent you picturess that shows living faith as a whole but here you're in your daftness, showing me an archdiocese and a parish as Catholic Church as a whole.

You are mentioning dangote etc, when I categorically stated the ones from religious organisations.
Kindly, Google Search list of NGOs operating in the north and read up on them, also read on Augustinian and Capuchinsmns missionaries and when the came into Nigeria.

You are educated on this issue by half but you are claiming to know more than others.

Can't you see you need sense?
If you quote me with any rubbish again, I will insult you or "swear for you".
The pictures I showed are real, not any blogger blah blah blah.
