Ibime: Hmmm the guy want throw gasoline on fire. That is not leadership. Make he move with armed guards sha. The other day I saw current Dutch Prime Minister strolling in the street on his way to work chatting to one Nigerian lady. Here's him on his usual bicycle commute to work. Make this new guy no just try am
If this kind of style didnt didn’t work but led to increased Jihadists attacks , then maybe it’s time for the new guy to go tough in dealing with the Jihadists for the sake of their people’s safety .
Ibime: What makes me doubt is him saying they will put cartoon of Prophet Muhammad in every school. Got to be fake.
I thought so too until I say the original video in Dutch . Those who are Dutch in the comments also confirmed the video to be real; it appears the man is known in the country for such hard stand .
The truth is if you as an organised people do not stand up and fight for your spot, nobody will give it to you.
Just stop a Muslim girl from writing WAEC with Hijab, and watch what happens during that week. From MURIC to Sharia Council, to Muslim senators, to cleric heads, all will be wailing. But a Christian is killed, and all of them just keeps mute.
Deborah was killed and no action; Nothing. Just nonsense tweets wey no make sense. [/color]
There was a lot of dust raised following the murder of Deborah , but we all know how protests were banned under Buhari’s government na. I’m sure nobody wanted to be used for target practice after what happened at ENDSARS .
As an example - who are the real sponsors of covenant university? We don't know. All the infrastructure used to build so many of these churches - is the money from tithes only?
For all you know churches could be used to launder kidnap money. Or yahoo money. That's how opaque their operations are.
If na by Infrastructure , wo churches too borrow money from banks like every other business.
What they do in such instance is that they access credit facilities from commercial bank for capital projects and then peg their source of repayment to donations, pledges , special offerings etc . The members will pay back the principal and interest without even knowing .
A journalist also did exposes on the man. They also came to naught.
Someone needs to start regulating these churches, but it will be politicized and turned into persecution nonsense and Nigerians will jump on all the anointed bs.
They really got out of control in the gej years. That was when they all started buying private jets. Do you remember pastor bling bling (ayo oritejesafor) who was dashed a private jet by an anonymous donor?, that was when CAN became thoroughly and irredeemablely politicized. That same jet was used in the 15m.usd gun running scandal.
Any government calling for regulation of religious organizations no just get plans to dey succesful
I think the only kind of regulation that can be done was what OBJ did by placing a ban on live-streaming of miracles on TV. That way anybody cannot claim he was not protected enough by the authorities .
Any attempt for government to do more than that, gbe religious leaders will start misinterpreting it and their followers will take their word for it.
raumdeuter: As an only child the mother had high hopes that after law school she will join a big law firm, get married etc
Instead the girl just resumed at "presidency" and wasn't making any moves to get married, The mother was even hinting that maybe Pastor Chris was doing something more sinister with single girls
Cos she say na only young girls wey suppose dey try settle down na him the "President" surround himself with
That early 2000’s was a really wild period sha . Na that period every guyman dey do miracle on TV everywhere . National stadium Surulere was always booked.
raumdeuter: In a similar story around 2002, a family with only 1 child a girl. The girl studied law. When my aunty met her at a gathering and asked how was law school she said she has finished law school and works at Presidency. My aunt was delighted for her.
Until the girls mom tapped my auntie say Sister put me in your prayers Na Chris Oyakhikome church the girl dey work for free she dey call Presidency
🤣🤣🤣🤣
She supposed don turn Minister for the presidency now o
DissTroy: The only reason a pastor would insist you offer professional services for free is because of familiarity. Same pastors hire Christians to come setup things and offer their services yet pay them. I learnt this firsthand.
Years ago, a certain renowned pastor would hire my friend and I to come handle/head his church's media. We got the gig through my friend who's a producer at a radio station then where they had become acquainted.
Every weekend (Saturday afternoon to Sunday evening), we'd come in with everything taken care of - transportation, food, lodging, e.t.c, and still get paid. Of course, we'd go through the motions of after-service getting further acquainted with him and discuss about media strategy.
Months later, he wanted to a church website. I gave him the quote, and he questioned why I was asking for money for it. "This is the work of God", he said. "Adding God's work to your résumé is a blessing", he added.
I saw the signs and bolted. We'd become too familiar and technically. I attending his church so why pay me for extras when he was successfully blackmailing others not to charge anything? After months of evading him and the familiarity had waned a little, he called me to pay. -----
Mercy Chinwo was doing free ministrations at the church she worshiped when she was in Akwa Ibom. Immediately she distanced herself and developed while at it, the same church pays her millions to perform when she gets invited, the last time I heard. Freke Umoh too.
The only reason a pastor would dare say such to you is because of familiarity. You reverence him. Genuflect before him. Worship him even. Call him "Papa", and worship in his church. Offer same service to other churches and you'd be paid.
Pastors, like politicians, are opportunists and Machiavellians. They understand the Art of Psychological Warfare than most people, and use it deviously to their advantage. They are the two types of men of substance/influence I am most on guard around. Slip and you'd be exploited to death.
💯
All the big pastors pay all the big gospel artistes that perform at their churches during concerts , conventions and music festivals . It’s only their own choir members they gaslight not to “charge the Lord “. That’s the only explanation why the big gospel artistes have money and the pastor’s choir members still look up to God of “papa” for breakthrough .
Even this same Ibiyomie cannot claim he doesn’t pay any of the big gospel musicians that play in his church during special events .
Realmrsean: na poverty coupled with illiteracy dey cause all these Things..
I don’t think it’s poverty and illiteracy . E be like say u never jam people wey dey highly educated and really hold bar yet dem dey highly religious .
I think there’s just something about Nigerians that has to do with our overzealousness .
iamoyindamola: Sharia is our way of life Budweiser was one of the official sponsors for WC in dubai Abeg wetin Budweiser they produce again Sharia na for poor man jare
E come be like say Nigerian Muslims know the religion pass Saudi’s ; the same way Nigerian Christian’s appear to know the religion pass Europeans wey bring the religion.
Incognito9: But how can you be releasing terrorists that's causing the insecurity and be praying against insecurity 🙄
That's the country we find ourselves.
The senate president designate has a pending case with EFCC, he gets elected as senate president and few weeks after the EFCC chairman loses his job with corruption case on his neck
The chairman of the ruling party was caught on camera stuffing dollars he received as bribe into his babariga while he was a sitting governor. EFCC verified the video was not doctored and everybody hoped the man be spending months in detention as soon as his immunity expires May 29th 2023. Today is 24th January 2024 and the man is free as a bird going about directing the affairs of the biggest party (and of course the ruling party) of the Most populous black nation
I don talk this thing before and I go talk am again; Na kill dem dey kill terrosist no be to dey sew aso ebi for them, do ceremony and release them back into a society where the same factors that led them into terrorism is still prevalent.
Omo, that Ghana goalkeeper would’ve hated himself if he was a Nigerian and caused that Mozambique equalizing corner kick in the fooolish manner he did yesterday .
Olowunl01: This should not even be a topic for discussion in public if not that Naija is a weird place, it's not as if they are relocating CBN HQ back to Lagos, abi na Lagos in Portugal demo wan relocate these functions?
Guess some peeps are about to chop mega with relocation budget, trust city boiz to chop legit, not that nonsense that Emifiele was doing
Nigerians just like to major in the minor. Hunger dey town dem no address that one, na people wey dey collect millions working at CBN dem dey fight for say why dem relocate them come Lagos
liveLongNprospa: Yes it amounts to wastefulness. But looking at the dust it is raising because let's not forget that it's one thing to do appointments for your tribesmen, it's another to be perceived as moving structures back to your Base.
What would the northern 8yrs after tinubu look like? That's what I am also looking at? Because you cannot be using the fact that it's due to the number of work done in Lagos that is why you are moving them and not cascade that to other sectors like nnpc moving to the SS region or the ministry of commerce being moved to kano or SE..
Sho get?
So should they now waste funds because they want to preserve Federal character nobody obeys in this country ?
liveLongNprospa: Omo. But do you support the move from a political lens? Considering they can build more offices in abj to cover the excess staff.
I don't think there should be a political angle to it honestly. CBN has a very big office in Marina, it makes no economic sense to allow a part of the building unoccupied and the one in Abuja not only overcrowded, but the staff in Abuja collecting huge allowances for hotel accommodation, flight ticket, etc. when they need to work in the Lagos office/carryout supervision duties.
Maybe the timing of announcing the CBN key departments relocation & FAAN headquarters in quick succession was the issue ......but I honestly don't see anything wrong with it.
Talking about building more offices in Abuja, does that not amount to wastefulness which we've been accusing successful governments of?
They are not protesting the hardship in the land, they are not protesting the insecurity that has continue to ravage the country, they are not protesting high cost of living; instead, they choose to protest the movement of key departments in CBN & headquarters of FAAN to Lagos. smh
Is it not the workers of those government agencies (who will be forced to relocate) that should be complaining about relocation issues? What concerns an average Nigerian with where a federal agency is located? How does the location put food on ur table or deny u of ur daily bread?
