What you see in that picture is a large department of corruption in Nigeria. The same way we turned blind eye to petty misconducts among public officials and it festered to become a monster called corruption today ; if we are not careful, religion and its leaders would grow bigger than that and we may not be able to contain or curtail it. Nigeria is sitting on a keg of gunpowder.

Please express your anger about the government anyhow since speech is free but allow your comments to have "human face, human heart and milk of kindness". There would be consequences for slander, libel and treasonable posts someday.

What a shame! No wonder Africans will continue to remain backward. How can you come in and sack people just like that? Just imagine we have a new Maryland governor and then he sacks everyone in University of Maryland because he did not like the former governor.

I fear, we may remain so backward compared to the rest of the world even in the next 50 years. We have a bunch of clueless, dumb, wicked, insensitive, idiotic, corrupt and foolish stinky leaders.

What a shame!

Believe me, what we have here is not democracy but kakistocracy; a government under the control of worst persons. When will nigeria wake up to the realities of the 21st century ?

INTROVERT:
So he stops everything and starts praying.


It's not bad but this outward display won't make God answer prayers any faster. A minute of bowed head in the car would be as effective.


Remember the prayer of the sinner and the Pharisee.

The prayer of the unrighteous ( the corrupt, wicked and oppressor, etc ) is an abomination before God. These politicians must first seek the face of good by repenting and making restitution to the oppressed masses of nigeria for all their loot.

TerrorSquad:
When will this terrorist start to deliver the change he promised to the zoo citizens? Where is his frog eye Southwest friend?

Hmm, calling the president of the country a "terrorist" is a criminal use of freedom of speech to commit treasonable felony. Guys, please tread softly on nairaland because there would be consequences someday.

If the Lord doesn't protect a city, the watchman labours in vain

That was true in the days of king david of israel and not in the 21st century. No sensible government would wait for a god to protect its city ( country). Nigerians must get real and stop living under biblical illusions.

Osun state workers would not be on the bench whenever kashamu's case comes up in the US court.

Guys, please tread cautiously in the public domain. There would be consequences for derogatory views sometime.

I hope my people can see the difference between Ambode's outfit in that picture and of those public officials obsessed with agbada and babariga plus the sky-touching native caps. This is not a matter of culture but of smartness, agility and readiness to do a job. Imagine seeing a danfo or cab driver in babariga while on duty. Sounds amusing ?

Someday, there would be consequences for the conduct of these smellfungi and mumpsimuses posting derogatory views about about officials of the nigerian government on this platform. Just an advice to those involved to tread cautiously.

Trust me, some guys on nairaland would hate this news to high heaven. And it is not a good one for them getting close to bedtime , a nightmare.

atlwireles:
Deeper life was a mad house in 80s, see their members giving away property back then Kumuyi has unknowingly made some people tragically poor.

Kumuyi and other pastors are still making nigerians poor by promoting ignorance, laziness and greed in the society; and by colluding with politicians to pauperize the citizenry. I am sure there will be consequences someday.

hensben:
we don't know if he was true man of God remember so many fake pastors in nigeria just that the people are looking for miracle here and there when they are suppose to demand good governance from their political leaders. if there are basic amenities like stable electricity, good roads, low cost of living, et al most people will be busy with industrialization including the fake pastors, that's how it is in western world.

Well said. Many nigerians, especially on nairaland believe that prayer is a substitute for good governance, patriotism and hardwork .They got it twisted.

Could this be an act of vengeance? These days some pastors are worse than armed robbers. RIP to the departed souls.

Unholy speculations.

One of my patients bought a 5litre gallon of holy water for 500k from those banner wearing people as treatment for pericarditis after refusing surgery..
He died just after he finished drinking the water.
Things are bad around here

Yes, things are bad here because ignorance is ruling the lives of our people .

stobery:
Imagine!!!

Nigeria is burning they are shining teeth, back in Nigeria their wives are organizing party here n there

Oh God forgive our sins and give us a good leader in this country

Ameeeeeeeeeeeen

Forgiveness is a poison. Let every man account for his actions and face the rewards.

If this has happened to a member of the church , the pastor would have told his relatives that the kidnapped member has not been praying enough or has not been paying his tithe as commanded by God. Wicked and shameless pastors. The day of reckoning is here.

Exploit200:
O! fool why thinketh like a child.
What abt Bush, Obama, and mumu Zulu king, not in Hege

Having seen your style of writing and the language used, i have decided to forgive you and others like you because you " do not know what you are doing". Ignorance is a poison.

There would be consequences for hateful posts on the social media sometime. Those who have ears let them hear.

Africa (nigeria) and their blind mentality of forgiveness. No wonder the continent is going down while the west continues to grow in prosperity. Until we begin to reward goodness and punish 'wrongness' in nigeria, we may never experience anything good as a nation.

pretty235:
As a pAstor ur income should not be bassied on offerings or titthe. Work ur self out. Being a pastor doesn't mean u can't combined work and church

Only the tribe of levi is forbidden to work outside the vineyard of God. So, the congregation should encourage their pastor to stop scamming them and get a job and a life , unless he can provide genuine evidence that he is from the tribe of levi in Israel.

BigElEddy:
Op you want make pastors put course for your head abi? You the spoil their market fa! If people start doing it this way, how pastors go take buy private jet fa?

I think we need more of this type of discourse to set many free from the bondage of wicked pastors.

Rather than steal or scam the congregation, God allows his annointed to work outside the church to legitimately earn a living. Only one tribe in israel is forbidden to work outside the vineyard of god. Or does it mean that all nigerian pastors come from that tribe? I don't think so.

Ignorance is a major reason why people die early in nigeria. Both the leaders and the governed are ignorant in many ways.
Other reasons are fear, stress, religion , culture and traditions. The case of the deaths from alcohol consumption comes to mind here.The affected natives believed it was their gods that were angry until science proved otherwise. Other causes of early death may just be derivatives of the above mentioned.

BigElEddy:
Religious organisations should me made sound tight. When I was in secondary school, there was this church called mountain of fire that was very close to my school. They don't eat, they don't sleep, they don't work, all they do is scream "fire" 24 hours a day, or so we thought. until one day during break time, me and my friends decided to go and see for ourself what was going on in there. To our surprise no one was there but one old security man. There were just playing a CD tape on repeat shouting "fire, fire, fire". Their speakers echoed up to the heavens. Sometimes we will feel our desks in class vibrating. So its good that, that man gave them a taste of their own medicine. Them think say na only them sabi where them the sell speakers abi? Una neva chi cum chin!

Well said. No one has monopoly of violence or nuisance. Nigerians are too docile and this explains why the powerful and the arrogant have continually harassed and impoverished them. Unless people repel confrontation such as the churches making noise, their condition may never change for better. Instead of murmuring, nigerians must learn to raise their voice when they complain.

freethinker01:
An eye 4 an eye makes d world go blind. Of what use is the world when it has all eyes? I think I like the man. It's cool tho'.

An eye for an eye is what made developed societies what they are today. In the US for instance, if you contravene a law or you commit an offence, it is almost sure you would be arrested and fined, cautioned or jailed to serve as a deterrent. But in nigeria, we beg and ask to be forgiven and let go after such contraventions. Therefore ,while their society is progressing, ours is retrogressing simply because we always forgive and indirectly promote impunity. And for those who preach tolerance, it is good but it must have limits . Finally, it is an eye for an eye that has sustained the nation of Israel till today.

Since our authorities are not doing much to protect the weak and the gentle, there is nothing wrong if the "gentle" defends or protects himself from oppression by some greedy, overzealous and inconsiderate pastors and their gullible followers as long as he does it within the confines of the law.

madridguy:
Sound funny....but two wrongs can never make a right. God will help us.

But a wrong can prevent or correct a wrong. For instance, if some hoodlums are harassing your neighbor with the intention of coming to your house next to rob you ; instead of hiding, you could fire a gun if you have one and its legal. This may scare them and cause them to flee.

Standing5:
because the pose a risk of spiritually poverty to people if they mislead them on the other hand politicians pose the risk of physical poverty and can swear oath just to steal

So which one of them is more dangerous to our society , the pastor or the politician?

kazmanbanjoko:
bcoz pastors are always related to politics and imams are not.

Well, you are partially correct. Imams are part of the scam but pastors are the pilots of the scheme. It is a wicked world we are living in. No wonder the bible says that ...it shall be taken from the poor and given to the rich.....

tpacalipse:
Are pastors not human beings? Afterall the foolish members of congregation are not forced to part with their money.

They are not physically forced the way you can openly see it. But the desperate pastors use diabolical means , powerful words and scare tactics to exhort money from their followers, just like the police. Imams are less guilty but they are also stakeholders in the dirty ' industry '
