Joagbaje can you please comment on this. I seem to recall that last year Christ Embassy did something similar for their New Year Service. It was N1000 per head. What can justify such please.

Meanwhile Morriss cruello charged $2,000 for annointing oil/special prayers at TREM convention just last month (November). Business is really booming for false prophets just like the bible foretold.

Joagbaje can you please comment on this.

I was trying to get to the real source . I dont like to conclude from one sided account .The link here is still from baddie camp.  I would have loved to know if it's a church service or a conference etc. you know people can register with. Money for a conference . And the registration covers things such as conference materials, certificate(when applicable ) feeding or refreshment (when applicable ) etc.

But if it's for church service, it's not proper to pay money.

Well, I don't approve of the action,But I try making judgment on motive . It was not done for the purpose of raising money. The planning committee made a mistake there.  But we should know it was not impose on people. The hall could only take few people . It was used as a studio for LIVE broadcast. Crowd had to be controlled  ,nothing must go wrong in a LIVE broadcast which would be viewed worldwide.  People were discouraged from coming . The 1000 ticket was introduced as a measure to discouraged people. Several options were made available . Hundreds of centers were created in lagos. Tv stations were paid to broadcast it LIVE . So that people dont have to leave their homes .  Many still wanted to get into the main hall. And those who got the ticket were excited to get it. Provisions were made for other big halls which served as over flow. Near the LCA. So if you have seat reservation ticket , you go to the main hall if you don't have reservation go to the other halls.
I believe the committee did excellent plan with the seat reservation idea. The purpose was archived . No casualty or overcrowd. But they could have done all these without adding 1000 to it. They could have just done first come first served. But their fear was that many people will collect 20 tickets or more with the hope of using it to make reservation for friends and relatives. while some many not get. And at the end of the day. those who collect may end up not using them for one reason or the other because its free. They felt introducing money will make those who get it to keep it. Well a solution to that is to ensure only one ticket goes to an individual. Nobody collects for another . If that is hard , maybe Some want to get for another they can go online or so. But I'm very certain the idea was not money making. I believe there will still be seat reservation this year and it will be free.
