There are 3 areas

THE ROAD ITSELF

There are some roads that you construct that are abso9lutely unneccessary but because of politicking are constructed.

THE CARS THAT PLY THE ROAD
There must be drive tax so that people will put value on driving other than the car.

MAINTENACE OF THE ROAD BY CONTRACTORS
We loose billions in overhead cost that range from lobby money, kick backs, 10 percent and red tapping. When you privatise the road it will innitially be expensive but at the end it will be very cheap.

The truth is coming out gradually. they have tried to trace any money to OBJ but it has not happened. They know he did not steal money. So many people hate him and yet we cant have a trace of the money he stole.

There is a way you go by this where the Government does not need to spend one kobo.

What the Lagos state government should do is to

1) Commercialize road ("sell" all the road in lagos)
2) Sell 3 to 4 License to operate transport
3) Set up a transport Authority


Commercialize Road (Sell all Road in Lagos State)

What you do is to have all the roads in Lagos state in sold to road contractor Firm for a period 5 years

The road firm will
1) Own
2) repair Pot holes
3) Maintain markings and trafic Lights
4) Clean Roads

The roads will be given colours to show the owners of the road, so that when there is a problem we know who to point to. The road firm will bid for this roads and they will be monitored. For competition and development there should be 5 blocks of licences that 5 and more road firm should bid for.
There must be an analyses of what the companies will gain.

A road is like a house you can make alot of money from it. The five companies will get access to a road fund that will be set up by the state government. Where there is traffic the Government can or will setup mini toll gate for Private car Users.

Sell Transport Licenses

Instead of Brt and co. you dont need to involve yourself in that. Just provide four licenses with one going for a token fee to NURTW. The companies that shall bid for this will comform to these rule before they are confirmed onwers of the Licences but since you have the brt already you can sell the license.

1) They will provide buses of the same brand for instances if it is Toyota buses it must be all true
2) They will provide back up mechanic shop ( all this to avoid dumping)
3) They will operate Simple and Cooperate Taxis
4) They will operate Aircondition Bus System and Non Aircondition Bus System
5) They will operate by routes in only lagos state
6) They will operate a ticket system could be cash for ticket or by prepaid card system

The Benefits of having a License

1) Tax will be waived by state for 5 to 10years as the state may deem fit
2) There will be no Extortion by policemen
3) The buses and cars used for transportation imported will have some tax exemption.
4) The companies will be the only authorized ones to move Goods in the state
5) The companies will be given the first right to reject or accept The future running of a[b] train system that will entail underground and light rail service[/b].

The cost of the licences will be in the region of $100 million. If you watch very well the bus system now we have the banks are already investing in it you just need to organise you will make money for Lagos state.
The state government will make a cool 400million dollar or even more as it will by bid may be on radio or something.

SET UP A TRANSPORT AUTHORITY.

Their job will be to set up
1) Transport police officer
They will arrest and prosecute any trafic offender.
2) You must have a Lagos state Car Tax
Like in singapore where the car you drive has little or no value compared to the money you pay to drive the car. Let me explain.

when you buy a car of say $10,000 you are to pay another $10,000.
When you dont want to drive the car again you can take your $10,000 back.

So to those who have 5 cars will think twice before they buy 2 cars. It will not be easy to enforce this in Lagos but the effect will be so wonderful that Lasgos and any city in the world will be at the same level.

The public transport and their operator will be exempted from this.

I dont have all wisdom and I know there are people that can fine tune these thoughts. I do it for My beloved country Nigeria

The government must show the way. For me or you to put our money the system must be published and advertised. The system where things are done in the dark as if you gambling will not allow for true business men to come out and invest in the business of transportation.


For the money bags to put their money into transport you must have incentives and the conducive environment. There must transparency as we hard in the telecoms project. The money bags know that having sole authority by a government without knowing the government personally is a good deal. Let me put it down in mathematical terms for you.

If 4 licenses are issued to say 4 money bags with one reserved for the NURTW what it means is that 1 firm is responsible for movement of one fifth of people and goods in the whole of Lagos state for 5 to 10 years.

Let’s say 5 million moves in and around of Lagos state per day. The average transportation for this 5million is say 200naira and let’s say only 1.2 million want to use public transport. You have a minimum of 240 million naira a day which is 2million dollars a day in a year that will be 730 million USD and in 5 years that will $3.65 billion in ten years 10 $7.3 billion. Remember this is the minimum and besides you have not talked about TAXIS and MOVEMENT OF GOODS.

BUT WHERE THE GOVERNOR/GOVERNMENT WILL GET ALL WRONG IS THAT WHEN THE MAKE IT A POLITICAL SCORE POINT AND SPEND MONEY ON THE PROJECT THEMSELVES. TRANSPORTATION BUSINESS IS NOT A TABLE TOP BUSINESS FOR INDIVIDUALS. IN GHANA I KNEW THAT THE MASS TRANSPORT WAS GOING TO FAIL BECAUSE IT WAS DRIVEN BY PURE POLITICAL WILL AND NOT A BUSINESS MINDSET. YOU NEED A POLITICAL WILL BUT ALSO A BUSINESS MINDSET AND TRANSPARENCY. EVEN GIVE YOUR POLITICAL RIVAL THE CHANCE TO PARTATKE SO THAT PEOPLE CAN HAVE A SENSE THAT WE ARE TOGETHER AND THEY WILL KNOW WHAT KIND OF OPPOSITION THEY HAVE. DON’T MAKE IT A WINNER TAKE ALL THIS WILL BRING IN BUSINESS CONFIDENCE.


When giving out the licenses you are saying no one can move anybody or goods in Lagos state without this five licensed bodies. Any good bank manager will like to get the Licenses quick. The state would not need to spend a dime and from this It will rather make money.

Now there will be teething problems The Companies will like to OVERMILK the commuters. What you can do is to set up transport Dispute resolution board.
As time goes on you will immediately make sure that in bring on more companies to bid for the licenses.
Let me give a picture of what I see as there will be competition.
SUPPOSING COMPANY "A" WANTS TO RAISE QUICK MONEY FOR ANYTHING HE CAN SAY I AM SELLING A GOLD CARD FOR OFFICE WORKERS IT COST YOU SAY $2000 TO MOVE ARROUND IN THE WHOLE YEAR GIVE ME $1000 NOW AND YOU DONT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT TRANSPORT FEES ONCE YOU HAVE THAT GOLD CARD.

NOW THIS MEANS 2 THINGS FOR THE BUSINESS AND THE PASSENGER.

FOR THE BUSINESS

IF YOU CAN GET 100 THOUSAND PEOPLE ON THIS GOLD CARD SCHEME YOU ARE MAKING $1,00,000,000 ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS

FOR THE PASSENGER
THE PASSENGER HAS SAVED 50% COST ON TRANPORTION FOR THE WHOLE YEAR.


LET US CHALLENGE OUR THINKERS AND BUSINESS MEN. I DONT HAVE ALL KNOWLEDGE. OUR GOVERNMENT LET US THE CITIZENS WORK FOR YOU

We need to sell our refined oil at international prices so that more refineries will be built here. you dont need the government to build or maintain any refinery just give a BAIT PRICING of refined products the refineries will spring up.

but you must have a good mass tranport system that you can subsidise.

The government pretends to work so hard when they can give the work to the citizens to do.

you have a mass transit system for your core Nigerian

@fellis


Corrected myself that was a typo

@uplawal

There are "Christians" possessed with other spirit than that of God. you see people praying in Church and are possessed by demons

absolute rubish this is why we killed our first leaders and nobody said anything. This is giving tribalism a big boost

much as I am not a fan of name it and claim it pastors. I believe the poster is 100% correct to make us start talking good about Nigeria.

EVERY ACTION STARTED FROM AN IMAGINATION, WORDS WERE SPOKEN AND THEN CAME THE ACTION.

@DAVID

I AM SURPRISED YOU A STUDENT OF THE BIBLE CAN TALK LIKE THIS

LET US LOOK AT bible

2 Kings 7
1Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the LORD, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.

2Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.



In the latter part of the Chapter the prophecy is fulfilled. however.

2 KINGS

18And it came to pass as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be to morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria:

19And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if the LORD should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

20And so it fell out unto him: for the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died.



Let us look how worse the situation in Isreal was at the time.


28And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.

29So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.

30And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh.


We have not gotten to this stage yet we must sow the seeds of a positive mind. The Seeds of a Negative mind was sown in time past we must remove it.

Absolutely Intelligent president Obj.

"Steve Show it to me anywhere in the World"

Being a Good person is not enough to make you an effective leader.

WE NEED 1 MILLION OBJ IN NIGERIA

Some Nigerian's god is their belly.

Your Elites steal money and you sit there speak about your leaders in bad light. Who is right Our Leaders or We the Citizens. Dont you know that a good gift turns away wrath?

We keep saying we want more, what have we giving to Africa with all our money?
No one comes to nigeria because the people are hostile. Most of the ones you see come are coming to rob you with the same gift.

Nigerians had a hard president in OBJ they complain
We have now a gentle president in Yar Adua just listen to us speak.

OUR TECHNOCRATS STEAL MONEY AND SELL NIGERIA BUT WE THE PEOPLE WILL NEVER SEE WHERE THE MONEY GOES BECAUSE WE ONLY SEE OUR LEADERS AS THEIVES. SO I HAVE ASKED WHAT MONEY DID OUR FIRST LEADERS STEAL BEFORE THEY WERE KILLED BY US ?

THE NIGERIAN UNIVERSITY HAS BECOME A JOKE BUT NOT FOR LONG IF YOU CAN INCREASE THE TUITION BUT WITH SOME DIMESION.


LET US UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM
THE SCHOOLS NEED TO PAY LECTURERS AND PROFESSORS
THE UNIVERSITY NEED TO IMPROVE ON BUILDINGS AND ACCOMODATION
THE STUDENTS NEED TO HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE SCHOOL (SECURITY AND HOPE THEY WILL GRADUATE AT THE APPOINTED TIME)

TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM WE NEED TO TAKE ANOTHER APPROACH

1) A LECTURER VISITING OR RESIDENT LOVES TO TEACH
2) THE LECTURER WANTS TO ROB SHOULDERS WITH HIS PEERS INTERNATIONALLY
3) STUDENTS LOVE TO BE CHALLENGED
4) EDUCATION THAT IS NOT USABLE IS ABSOLUTE WASTE OF TIME
5) USEFUL EDUCATION IS NOTICEABLE WHEN THE COMMUNITY ARROUND IT BENEFITS
6) OUR LECTURERS HAVE READ BOOKS WRITTEN BY ILLTERATES AND THEY NEED TO BE CHALLENGED INSTEAD OF HIDING UNDER TITTLES


SOLUTION

1) TO SET UP AN EDUCATIONAL TRUST FUND
2) WE NEED TO KNOW THE INTERNATIONAL COST OF EDUCATING ONE PERSON THROUGH 4 YEAR,5YEAR 7YEAR HIGHER EDUCATION
3) WE NEED TO SEND OUR LECTURERS AND PROFESSORS OUTSIDE THE UNIVERSITIES THE TEACH IN.
4) WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL LECTURERS ARE PAID VERY WELL AND CONDITION OF SERVICE IS GOOD.

1) TO SET UP AN EDUCATIONAL TRUST FUND

Instead of making education free we can have a national education trust fund that will cater for needy student that will have to pay back the loan
we can also institute that state government local government set up their own trust fund to send their Wards to any university they gain admission.

2) WE NEED TO KNOW THE INTERNATIONAL COST OF EDUCATING ONE PERSON THROUGH 4 YEAR,5YEAR 7YEAR HIGHER EDUCATION

we need to know the cost of training a lawyer, a doctor, nurse and engineer. When we know this we must also know wether or not we need "X" amount of doctors or "Y" Engineer and lawyers. We have parents just pushing there wards to University just to Change class because in their head to enter into the Class war you must be a university even though that is very wrong.

Example

To train a doctor minimally internationally you need about $50,000 for the 7 years period

to train a simple maths of english teacher for 4 years you may need 15,000 for 4years

now if I have 4 children and I want to access free university education I must know what the state is giving and if I dont want help from the state I need to work so hard to provide to the education of my Kids

End of example

You can have 2 system
A) where if you are not a ble to pay the fess access the trust fund(s) but your marks must be good.
b) You can also have cash paying student where the parents can pay the fees you may just need a light pass to get in.

hmmmm

i sometimes think to myself what we did to deserve the kind of rulers we have now but I am always brought to the memory of our first leaders.

Our leaders that WE by OURSELVES KILLED what did they do to us yes we will start tribalism now and say it was one particular set of people that caused it. Our leaders that did not steal money whjat did we do with them? THE ONES THAT HAD IDEALOGY WHAT DID WE DO WITH THEM?

MOST OF THEM THERE BLOOD IS CRYING FOR VEGENCE

WHAT WE NEED IS A NATIONAL REPENTANCE NOT RECONCILIATION. WE MUST REBRAND NIGERIA FROM MONEY LOVERS TO HUMAN LOVERS AND CARE GIVERS.

white man never brought christianity to africa

first of all i am a yoruba and I dont see anything wrong with is his accent. secondly those who know OBJ very well know he does not need any Church to do anything he wants to do.


Now to the Issue I can perfectly say that Pastor Adeboye has erred and is in error and this is because he has completely gone away from the main theme of Scripture.

The church was never to set up schools and big buildings. The materialism of the Church is Epitomized in the desire for foolish expensive toys that The Church buys everytime

Mathew 25

Reading from

34Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

After you are holy and righteous before God. do you begin to buy toys and build big buildings as a major sign that you are a child? What is the role of the Holy church

35For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

36Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

37Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

38When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

39Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

How many Feeding Homes do we have in Nigeria
How many shelter do we have in Nigeria
How Many Prison Outreach do we have In Nigeria
Do we take care of the Sick and Injured?


NOTICE THAT THE CHURCHES GO INTO BUILDING BIGGER BUILDINGS SO THAT THEY CAN ACCOMODATE MORE PEOPLE AND THE MORE THE PEOPLE THE MORE THE MONEY. ALSO NOTICE THAT THE CHURCH IS INVESTING IN EDUCATION BECAUSE THEY CAN GET MORE MONEY WHY IS THE CHURCH NOT INVESTING

1) PRISONS
2) SHELTER HOMES FOR MOTHERLESS BABIES AND THE HOMELESS( THE QUOTE TO YOU HE THAT DOES NOT WORK LET HIM NOT EAT)
3) FREE TREATMENT HOSPITALS

40And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

YOU FOOLISH CHURCH OF THE END TIME YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN YOUR CALLING AND BEGIN TO BUILD UNTO YOURSELVES IMAGES. DONT YOU KNOW THAT YOU MUST LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR NO WONDER THAT THE NORTH IS AS HARD AS A INPENETRABLE ROCK. YOU THINK BY YOUR BIG CARS, MONEY, AEROPLANE AND WITH YOUR BUILDINGS CONVINCE SOMEONE TO FOLLOW OUR GOD?

EVEN WHEN YOU DO GOOD THE BIBLE DOES NOT WANT US TO BE SENSATIONAL ABOUT IT. THE CHURCH HAS PUSHED LOVE OUT OF IT MIDST AND WE NOW HAVE AN ENTERPRISE SELLING FALSE HOPE.

@bastage

you do have a point but nobody has ever said that God wrote the bible. It was inspired by God.

the word of God has been in Africa for 2000 years now.

if there 2 people observing something and one saw 2 and the other saw 3 and they wrote what they saw should they because of they were not accurate lie about what they saw?

Does the fact that there was error in reporting overrule the fact that the incidence occured?

Very good thing happening in nigeria. God belss nigeria.

Now what do we benefit from this?

1) Armed robbery fighting tool
2) Alibi Evidence
3) Traffic congestion control

How will the company make money?

first of all
The police prosecution/government will pay a monthly fee for feeds into their intelligence outfit
Surveillance for military and security angences(go and ask how much your intel Bodies pay for surveillance)

private people trying to defend themselves in court as to acertain where the were at a particular time of the day can pay fees for the Videos
Motorist can subscribe using Gprs or other links to their cars to know exactly where there is traffic and it could appear on their screens.

This is a brilliant thing

But My problem is that it should be more.

There should be more companies licensed in lagos state to do so that there will be competions for data. There is alot of money in this area atleast lagos will need 50 companies before this market is staurated.

The banks should go for this every street in lagos should have this we would not need those Iron prison gate we lock ourselves in any more.

one of the questions I asked myself over an over until i got an answer.

The Devil or Lucifer by Nature was rightoeus and holy before God until he decided that he would capture God and rule over God. Even when God Warned satan about the evil thought creeping into satan's heart, satan did not listen.

The thing is that Because God is very Humble and meek but Mighty and also has "anger" Which no living being has ever experienced until Lucifer son of the morning star was shown.  You remember he was thrown out of heaven and he was always daring God as many do today.

The Devil cant and wont repent and that is why it is painful that Adam and Eve took to the side of the devil by disobeying God. The people in hell are not friends of God they will never Forgive God if they are pardoned because they eternal enemies of God. The people in hell cause God day and night for all eternity.  Some start by begging God because of the pain and punishment they are experiencing but the truth comes to them that there no hope and satan laughs at them all their sins are before them and this multiply the horror and they cause God the more.

Of all men that have read the bible I am the most foolish of all I know not the bible so much than he who wrote it.

You dont own an angel. We are not equal with God but he seeks us close as though through Jesus we are Equals But we cannot make anything in the Spiritual realm only by Jesus the SON of the Most High.

Just Check 1 to 10 of the Richest people in the world how many are Christians? Or how many are from your Church?

@uplawal

Dont worry you will soon find out that one of the books is corrupt. just keep reading.

@ok.gerald

Your quran inspired by what my bible calls a complete battalion of demons can not  make one single sense.
Your god is a false deity Occupied by a Horde of fallen angels that seeks to replicate the One and only true God (the father the son and the Holy Ghost)

I thank God  that Satan has started to make you people say Allah, Subhanna wa Ta'ala. It is as if God by himself is pursuing the Spirit behind the allah that bewitched mohamed.

Your false religion is not even 1700years and you are killing and spliting like this. It is in the Hand of the true God.

I prefer to be with Jesus in hell fire than your mohamed that is has no righteousness.  Your allah just woke one morning and decided that he will select some people and use them to create a religion.

In the bible He used a complete family He gave them option (the humble creator). The world is silent on how mohamed knew about the biblical figures, who does not that he heard stories of the bible from the areas his army conquered? Your God has and will never dwell among his people that he created. I dare your King of Saudia Arabia to walk in the City of Arabia.

Your quran has no history it has no future. It is sinking and other books are better of it. Your Quran feeds on the blood of the Innocent. My book the bible feeds the innocent. Your book is a fraud it failed woefully and people that know it are silent. 

The option is

READ YOUR QURAN AND GO TO HELL

READ THE BIBLE AND YOU MAY FIND THE WAY TO HEAVEN OR GET MORE CONFUSED

MEET THE AUTHOR OF THE BOOK AND SAVE YOUR SOUL AND THEN READ THE BIBLE

Go to the muslim thread before you are bombarded

@Fyneguy

Oh wise one hear the Bible it says

Ezekiel 18:4 (King James Version)

4Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

Now without using Scripture says that we are now called sons of the father. we inherit all that our father has (in a way) In holiness we own each other not as in a cannal light and mammon seeking life some of the Pastors we have expound so much.

Matthew 10:9-11 (King James Version)

9Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,

10Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

11And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.


And I am not Blackslider I am BACKSLIDER.



TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT TYPE OF OWNER I AM TALKING ABOUT READ THE WHOLE CHAPTER BELOW

[b]1 Corinthians 9
1Am I am not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?

2If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.

3Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,

4Have we not power to eat and to drink?

5Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?

6Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?

7Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?

8Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?

9For it is written in the law of Moses, thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?

10Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.

11If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?

12If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.

13Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?

14Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.

15But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.

16For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!

17For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.

18What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.

19For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.

20And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;

21To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.

22To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

23And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.

24Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

25And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

26I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:

27But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.[/b]

Quote

21 Looking at the man, Jesus felt genuine love for him. “There is still one thing you haven’t done,” he told him. “Go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

22 At this the man’s face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions.

23 Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the Kingdom of God!” 24 This amazed them. But Jesus said again, “Dear children, it is very hard[f] to enter the Kingdom of God. 25 In fact, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!”

26 The disciples were astounded. “Then who in the world can be saved?” they asked.

27 Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God.”

28 Then Peter began to speak up. “We’ve given up everything to follow you,” he said.

29 “Yes,” Jesus replied, “and I assure you that everyone who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or property, for my sake and for the Good News, 30 will receive now in return a hundred times as many houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and property—along with persecution. And in the world to come that person will have eternal life. 31 But many who are the greatest now will be least important then, and those who seem least important now will be the greatest then.[g]”

Look at the craftiness of mammon worship

Who does not know the Church of mammon is in the compound of hell

There was a question that was thrown to Jesus and if you look at the questio clearly it was a logical question but jesus was given a spiritual answer with some logic.

The question was

28 Then Peter began to speak up. “We’ve given up everything to follow you,” he said.

Let us understand the questioner and his question

Peter was someone that liked work and really had very little to show for it. Peter was saying you know Lord I like my work but I am now your Disciple but I dont have means of making money or livelihood. As it is written a man that does not work most not eat.

Jesus Answered with

29 “Yes,” Jesus replied, “and I assure you that everyone who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or property, for my sake and for the Good News, 30 will receive now in return a hundred times as many houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and property—along with persecution. And in the world to come that person will have eternal life. 31 But many who are the greatest now will be least important then, and those who seem least important now will be the greatest then.

Jesus assured peter because he knew the doubt in his heart. Jesus was answering this question in 2 fold.

1) As a preacher and converter of men you own in a way the soul that you convert. Every soul that repents because of your work that you do for christ you have some ownership. They become your brother sister etc.

2) In the olden Christian living because people lived in communities and when one becomes truly Born again they are so joyous and they sell their properties for the sake of the gospel and go to live among the brethren.

Some converts even do unbelieveable things.

Like there was once an account that a mission field worker gave. there was a poor farmer that had just one bull that he used to plough the land but he silently sold it and gave the church the money.

The church people were surprised and tried to discover how the poor farmer got the money they got to meet him on the farm and saw him dragging the plough with his bare hands!!!! asked what happened to his bull he said he could not allow his master be in debt of a mere $50 so he had to sell his bull.

There some people that give and they die poor does that make Jesus a liar?

God is about to do smething in that Church.

Ah brother Kumuyi Be strong and be exceedingly Glad. For you are not as those have no hope in eternity.

You are one of the Churches that upholds holiness within and without let this fire not die out as it is from the women backsliding starts.

Onward oh holy beautiful and brave soldier.

@paulipopo

Thank God for you. I thought I was the only one that could decipher the false teachings of this man. in one of his teachings i remembered that he was trying to project cunningly that because he was born into a Pastor Home and he had strong Christian upbringing he had less problems in his life that most Christians have.

This is a doctrine from the pit of hell. You are right paulipopo he attracts people to himself instead Of Jesus. Jesus said if I be lifted up I will draw all men unto me. Most of our Church leaders are backsliden and they need to repent like a sinner.

The true calling of the Church is to Help the poor and the widow. The demon infested church rather engages in Show. The big buildings will be destroyed by fire. It is what you do with the Gospel by Changing a man's live from being a thief to a holy man.

You see why we must not condemn ourselves?

A battle is lost when the population throws her hand up. The soldier of a country will fight in vain if the population is defeated. This is why God had to make all the old of Isreal not enter the promise Land save Joshua and Caleb.

Yes we have a problem but we can solve it lets us give free advises.
We can do it

The fact is that the whole church is now becoming a fraud.

The main theme of a church is emphasized by Jesus Christ and even in the old testament. what we see is selfish and demon possesed men calling themselves men of God and making money with the organisation of the Church.

I am very surprised however that we the church have fallen so badly and it is as if God does not exist. Well I know that there must be a revival. If we looked and asked ordinary church men and women Why God set up the Church so many will answer wrongly.

Let me give you a run down of what happens now in Church

*Church is set up atimes for purely spiritual purposes.

*They begin to grow in size

*They now need to buildings

*They begin to ask for money

*The pastor begins to look for signs and wonders so that he can compensate for the monies collected

*The pastor encourages Church members(criminals and sinners) to join the work force

*The buildings begin to grow

*The attitude and the holiness level in the Church diminishes as the church members become more concerned about tithe and offering

*Branches are set up to pepertuate more false Church gatherings.

*The Church leaders become so popular and write books and begin to speak at seminar to collect money there using the wisdom of God for gain.

*The Church Leaders assume political pop star status and begin to seek materials(planes cars and jewelry) that will make it impossible for anyone to belittle them. (ask did their master not belittle Jesus?)

@poster

This is normal. Ask him how much he was earning where he was teaching before.

I just thank God for Soludo. He should be the Next President of Nigeria. As a Yoruba I will vote for him. He is an Igbo and It help us stabilize ethnic tension we have already.

God bless soludo. God bless Nigeria.

To rebrand Nigeria for me is to determine in her hearts to Change the perceptions of We NIGERIANS first.

if you read through most of post you will see that Nigerians think of themselves as the most corrupt and cheated people in the world. The psychological things is to cheat back or just complain.

We need someone to help make us rethink that we can be the most righteous black people on earth. I wil give you an example. To hate someone and a particular tribe or race it start from the heart.

Nigerians believe Personal believe is

1) finish secondary school
2) get into univeristy
3) Finish your degree and a Job SHOULD be waiting for you
4) Get a Job
5) Rent a house
6) Start building a house because rent is murderous
7) start stealing from work because wants to finish house and not pay rent
become a guru at underhand deals
9) Complete his house and becomes a land lord
10) Does the same thing that was done him that forced him to be corrupt and the circle continues

Oh God in heaven I pray for this woman called Akunyili. I pray that you will help her and be with her as she goes against a army of evil people corrupted by the devil. Lord in your word you have said a prince shall arise from Ethiopia. Lord we as the most populated black nation in the world is a disgrace to the black nation.

We oh God have sinned and just as you used men like Caleb Joshua Ruth and Esther in various ways to revive Isreal your beloved oh I humbly pray you strengthen your tools to revive us.

Our preachers are even more corrupt than our secular heads. We are practicing religion instead of holiness and rightness use this woman as an example. let not fail or seem to fail. Give her the heart to be ready to die for the right for Nigeria her fatherland.

Any weapon be it news article guns and meetings held let it come to naught. give her deep revelations and ways of coming to do it. Dont let her run and leave nigeria as some of us has done.

In the name of Jesus Christ in whom I believe in I pray. Amen

I am still waiting for where OBJ stole money. We keep destroying our good people. it is as if it is a sin to be a Good person in nigeria.

If God can strengthen the hands of the few good people we have then can we emerge.
