you are still not a good counsellor, must you insult me? you haven't even told me what to do, neither have you suggested a spiritual remedy.

Dude go ahead and kill your old man.. Just do it quickly ok.. Stop all this bullshit ranting about God told you this and that. Who told you there is a God telling people to go kill?? Its either insanity of frustration that's telling you to go do the killing ok.. So feel free and cut his head off.. Just tell is when to call the cops.

They keep advertising this 5nights of Glory (Salvation Ministries). I have seen all the posters every were and the radio won't stop telling me about it.. Now I wonder, can't that Glory planned for the 5 nights, be taking to the sick people in all the hospitals all over rivers state? If the Glory is so powerful and super naturally going to heal and change the lives of people that will come, as a pastor or as a great man of God, why waste peoples time to come collect the Glory? I can as well go to all the hospitals and heal every sick person to go home.. When a scam is been advertised like this rubbish 5nights of Glory, I will have no other option than to start telling Nigerians the truth about this so called men of God..

Pastor Adeboye's prophecies for 2016 are no different from his previous ones - he has managed to keep everything fuzzed up and has avoided being specific so as not to incriminate himself in the future. However, there is one item on his list that requires scrutiny because I believe it shows Pastor Adeboye to be a manipulative person. I shall return to this in a moment.
Pastor Adeboye
First, let us build a quick picture of the man. Pastor Adeboye is probably the most influential pastor in Nigeria. His church has branches in almost 100 countries around the world, with an estimated 14,000 churches in Nigeria alone. The Redeemed Camp is responsible for perennial traffic congestion on the Lagos-Ibadan motorway because of where it is situated and the sheer size of the congregation that worships there. Whether the church has done enough to forestall this problem and alleviate the sufferings of road users is a subject for another day. Pastor Adeboye's fund raising methods are a cause for concern. He announced plans in 2013 to build a church auditorium of approximately 3km in length (http://dailypost.ng/2013/08/14/three-kilometer-auditorium-angry-nigerians-blast-adeboye-say-n1billion-per-person-donation-is-criminal/). To fund the project, he told his followers: "We need N1 billion from ten people . . . We also need N100 million from those who can afford it. Please see my secretary." How many hard-working people with unquestionable source of income would dole out money on a project like that which will not yield any returns for them? This behaviour encourages corruption - the thieves who steal our commonwealth will see this as an act of buying penance from God. Pastor Adeboye is importunate - he never tires of using mental gimmicks to persuade his members to give him money. Only last month, he was reported to have told them: "Let me tell you the truth, the only reason we still take offerings is to get you out of poverty. When you give offerings you’re sending money to heaven." A few years ago, he claimed that he drove his car without fuel from Ore to Lagos to a thunderous applause from his congregation. It beggars belief that anyone would believe this story. To complete the picture, take a look at his 2015 prophecies and decide for yourselves whether he made any ground-breaking predictions or if he just played safe by refusing to make specific statements. (https://secure.saharareporters.com/2015/01/02/end-year-prophecies-ijabla-raymond#.VKbHn0sJtN4.wordpress). Notice that he had prophesied: "Daddy (referring to God) says all over the world insurgencies will be considerately weakened." The terrorist activities of jihadi groups like ISIS, Boko Haram (BH) and al-Shabab in 2015 do not support this prediction. This observation alone completely invalidates his claim of speaking the mind of God.

Let's return to the 2016 prophecies which can be found on the church's website: http://rccg.org/prophesies-for-year-2016/. Pastor Adeboye prophesied that, "a new sexually transmitted disease will surface." But he does not disclose that he received this revelation from newspapers and medical journals. British researchers announced late last year the discovery of a "new" sexually transmitted disease (STD) called mycoplasma genitalium (http://www.nhs.uk/news/2015/11November/Pages/New-sexually-transmitted-infection-MG-may-be-widespread.aspx). It is worth noting that pastor Adeboye does not give the name of the new STD and its causative organism like researchers always do. Does God whom he claims to speak for not know this information? Why does he not specify where, how and when the disease will surface? How bizarre for an omni-benevolent God to announce the emergence of a new disease but not the cure? Curiously, God was also silent about BH and the abducted Chibok girls, the fall in the price of crude oil and its effect on our economy, the agitation for the state of Biafra, climate change, the conflict in Syria. Pastor Adeboye's prophecies portray God as someone who is always silent on the issues with real implications for our daily existence. That, of course, is based on the assumption that God exists and that He speaks to the pastor. I could never understand how someone can know the mind of an entity they cannot even prove exists. What is obvious is that pastor Adeboye, like the rest of his fellow prophets, relies on the BBC, CNN and other news media to formulate his prophecies.  
The reason this situation bothers me is because literally tens of millions of Nigerians believe that God speaks through this man. Accordingly, the choices they make in life are guided by every word he speaks. Collectively, Adeboye and his fellow pastopreneurs have turned a generation of Nigerians into magical thinkers and have destroyed critical thinking. Even our universities and other centres of learning are not immune from their destructive influence - believe it or not there are professors who believe that prayers can make a car drive without fuel just as pastor Adeboye proposed; that diseases can be caused by evil spirits; that witches and wizards are responsible for infertility; and so on.  

Thankfully, the days of lying to Nigerians are drawing to a close. Information is the greatest weapon against ignorance, fear, superstitions and exploitations. Nigerians now have access to the internet and can easily cross check facts. By this time next year, we would know if a new STD has been discovered and if indeed God speaks to pastor Adeboye.

... Am enjoying this pure fact,. Nigerians have become too religious that they don't know when a Yoruba man is scamming them. From Adeboye, To Ibiyome, go Oyakilome, to Oyedepo... All bunch of criminals using the power of physiology to operate on gullible Nigerians and the rest of the world..

Religion is just one big scam. Pastor Adeboye said he drove a car without fuel from Ore to Lagos... Anybody who believes that rubbish lie can easily be defrauded.

mu2sa2:
These self- proclaimed prophets are adept liars.To cover their lies when their so-called prophecies fail, they say their god decided to change its mind. Bloody liars/fraudsters!

This dude is just another scam, Religion is the biggest scam in the world.

How come a president who was seen taking milo satchet for a breakfast is now requesting for #1.7 billion with his vice to feed their households?
GEJ requested for #1 billion & Nigerians went all out criticizing him, thanks to the propaganda machine of the then opposition party & the obviously biased media outfits like channels TV (the official private TV station of APC) & the nations newspaper (their official newspaper outlet).
Someday, dogmatic and docile believers of this scam of a government will wake up to realize the truth & how gullible they've been but may it not be too late for them & the nation.

my brother its only gullible people that still believes this politicians and the lies they feed people...

It's very simple, she wont be my babe again. Cant keep a brainless babe around naa..house fit burn down one day.

You girl got busy with the some other dude
