Typical brainwahsed sheep, Resulting to gibberish when confronted with real question. Keep wallowing in your grandeur delusion.

He is going to realize when he gets to 70 that the God of Oyedepo only enriches Oyedepo

Sam32:
who is he competing with, by building a tabernacle of worship? the answer must be the devil, because if it was a soccer stadium or club house u would not be saying this

The man wants to make more money. If he was a business man like Dangote I will be impressed. I don't know how he intends to fund the project - maybe partly bank loan and church offerings, but I know members will contribute a huge deal in financing this gigantic building and as well increasing his net worth.

Let's not get stupid here, the man is trying to increase his pocket and influence

Jonwesley:
Go and google the number of living faith churches in cities and villages of Nigeria and in over 65 nations of the world. You really don't know "Winners Chapel". And it's spreading more every day with standard church building built without members donation or fund launch

God is not in buildings or churches. God doesn't live there. Technically, he is everywhere. You do not need to convene in one spot and feel holy or pretend to feel holy - that's not spirituality.

My only concern is that the churches in Nigeria contribute nothing to the economy of the country. Yet, these churches have huge cash reserves. Members do not gain any benefit rather than mere talk. Spirituality is not about how rich you are in this material plane. Jesus even said it - it will be difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

Princeojua:
If it's God's doing. Father, I dream of a Triple blessings on me as it is with Bishop Oyedepo. Even if it's not your doing, Lord, I want you to bless me in such a way that I won't derail from your presence. Amen. if you like my prayer, click like and you shall be bless too

Go Bleep yourself and sink in your deception

Gayjesus:
In a country with high level of poverty,someone is building a giant church

He want to maintain his Forbes position and surpass others. His members are elated with the news and their logically brain cells have been shut down. They have never sat down to do the math. 100,000 members multiplied by N20 in one seating is N2,000,000 in just one sitting. Nobody gives N20 anymore as offerings except in children Sunday school classes.

There will be shopping malls which means this man is out to extract every last kobo from his congregation. At this moment, the government need to form a regulatory body for religious organizations.

This is not an encouraging news at all. Other pastorpreneurs are watching and strategizing on their next moves. Before we know it, churches would become the next stadiums. I wonder why these fools don't get it

DIVINE78:
The Good Lord in His infinite Mercedes and Grace will help Bishop Oyedepo to achieve his aim.

Sure he is going to achieve it and you know how, by taxing you and other church goers.

Wake up and smell the coffee - your pastor is enriching himself by selling you gimmicks

teebaxy:
This what I call giant project, may God do giant project in our lives that will announce us to the world like this.

Nope God will not do that for you when you continue to give your pastor your money and believe their nonsense

I support this. However, on the other hand what is a truth commission Metuh? To have people come on national tv and tell us that they stole - that's plain ridiculous. Metuh must realized that there are cost implications on carrying out investigations and the government may be plain stupid to go down previous administrations if it views are to recovered funds that are already sunk

edgyslim:
Waiting for FFK's name. He's been awful quiet recently.

You are right. A lot of them are shaking in me boots at the moment

januzaj:
they replied Ekweremadu,...buh couldn't say anything about Shi'ite vs NA.....balderdash

I have a reply for you. You cannot hide under religious guise to perpetrate evil. Immediately your religious or private activity begins to disturb your Neighbour, your are menace to the society.

The source explained that the team was set up to examine all sides to the issue, adding that the presidency is worried that such enormous amounts of money were carted away from CBN as if “it was in Idi Amin’s era.”

^^^^^ that got me cracking, but it's true. Monies were transferred like Nigeria was under military rule. If this publication is true, then it is a welcome development. Emefiele should leave to restore dignity to our financial system.

Disappointing situation indeed. I am ashamed with this level of absurdity that took place during Jonathan's tenure. Now I can truly correlated these outright theft with poor economical development that was witnessed during Jonathan's tenure and the voodoo economic and statistics Okonjo Iweala was showing us.

Presently, I pity Buhari and I do not envy his position. There are lot of people involved in this mess, jailing them would be term political victimization, just like the parrot Olisa Metuh has already proclaimed.

Nigerians truly deserve real accountability. Jonathan inevitably sponsored Boko Haram and allowed the group to have unfettered powers.

Identifying these theives is just the mere beginning. Recovering the funds is another. I am more interested in recovery the funds and closing down the companies used in laundering these funds. Those companies do not deserve to operate in this country.

bayinq25:
One of our major problems in Nigeria is our religious leaders who hardly tell these politicians the truth...same adeboye blessed Jonathan also celebrates with osinbajo not that this isn't allowed but APC and PDP governments are scams,thieves and liars.the question is :what do they(pastors) preach to these people?..we live in a country where the truth isn't enough many of these churches where pastors have 5 private jets and humongous mansions have members who haven't asked the right questions...instead they distract their members from the truth by attacking T.B JOSHUA..I don't believe any pastor but T..B JOSHUA isn't the only pastor in Nigeria...pastors with private jets and mansions should also be questioned

Who are you calling religious leaders? The same business men that shared out of the arms loot for spiritual prayers. Do you think Jonathan visited redeemed without parting with huge cash gifts

I weep for my country. The VP got to dance, he truly deserve to dance whilst some people are refugees in their own country.

sweatlana:
So how come she has been silent in the chibok girls since buhari took over?
Have the girls been found?
One thing that annoys me on this forum is how we try to deny the truth even when it is so glaring.
OBY fell out with the Gej administration for reasons I do not know. She the used the chibok tragedy as a political weapon to fight Gej. That's the truth. She never gave a rats a$$ about what happened to those girls. Everything was political.

I am shocked at your comment. You do not accuse people without relying on facts. Are you on her timeline on Twitter? The campaign is still on, meetings are still held. She has also publicly challenged and encouraged the Buhari administration to find the girls and as you can observe the Army is doing its best scanning the entire sambisa forest to bring back this girls if they are still alive.

Now, in your own capacity, what have you done for those poor girls? Rather you criticize someone who is pressuring the government to carry out its responsibility. Very well I say this without any form of malice that you are an insensitive and wicked Nigerian and you contribute to the problem in this country.

Your thought process is wicked and if you have the privilege to serve the public, I can confirm you would not be different because those who oppose your policies would be seen as enemies. You are a disgrace to civility and human kind.

aieromon:
OBJ is the last person you want to run to. That Baba no dey forgive.



http://saharareporters.com/2015/08/09/corruption-probe-former-president-jonathan-secret-meeting-buhari

Obasanjo is very aware of these atrocities. Now I understand why he chose to leave partisan politics.

Jonathan deserves to be in prison and his trial should be in full view of the public so that ethnic bigots can see clearly.

There is no ethnicity or religious divide at the apex as we can see they share these loots happily

Sweetguy25:
The same OBJ that sold all public firms to his friends and well wishers.
The same OBJ who didn't build any significant infrastructure in Nigeria for good eight years.
The same OBJ whose government was characterized by assassinationas and witch hunting
The same OBJ who had only 20,000 naira in 1999 but was able pump billions into his agric business.
The same OBJ who couldn't stop crude oil theft and militancy.
The same OBJ who made Nigerians wish Abacha never died?

I initially listed out 8 benefits of the obasanjo administration, but thought otherwise because it is childish. Please if you want to know more about the obasanjo administration go and research - Wikipedia should be your first start.

I was just like you, ignorant, criticised without facts and I criticized the Obasanjo administration so hard. However, after I decided to research for myself, I had a rethink. Please leave the ignorant zone for your own good.

studio14:
That would have been better so all of us would have been thinking another thing to do or better be like the Greeks, Obasanjo don't forget you are also among the biggest thieves ever

With obasanjo we are insinuating, but Jonathan loots are staring at us right in our face.

Obasanjo's tenure brought economic progress, businesses were booming after log hardship from military rule. They were savings, foreign reserve was growing. Young people were securing jobs. Pensioners had reason to smile thanks to the pension reform policy.

Jonathan bastardized our democracy. Looted our foreign reserves. Imagine how much we would have saved if he didn't dip his dirty sticking fingers into it. He plunged our country into debt, enriched his friends and cronies.

What was good with Jonathan's administration? I need to know - economic wise and international relations wise

ernesty20:
and the funny thing is that Gej is better than Obj 1000 times, but pride will never allow this man to admit it

You must be mad for this comment. Truly mad. I have never insulted anybody on nairaland, but you are truly mad.

Where is the goodness in a man who allow a section of a country to be in chaos, whilst he shares monies to his friends and cronies.

What is wrong with we Nigerians. What is there to adore when a president cannot give accounts to his stewardship

I respect this woman a lot. If not for her group the chibok girls would mean nothing to we, wicked and selfish Nigerians. It is not easy fighting and pressuring the government to do the right thing, especially when such government only think about how they can make quick cash gains.

I have said previously and continue to say it - we are victims of our own circumstances. Our nonchalant attitude is irritating. We adore corrupt politicians and hold them in high pedestal. We admire wrong people and consider them our Heros. Why won't politicians ignore their civic and responsible duties and continue to steal from the treasury.

May I remind insensitive Nigerians that this woman can be like us - insensitive to the plight of our nation, ignore the ills of society and live a comfortable life abroad - just like Ngozi is doing right now. She chose to fight in her own way, to fight and put our wicked government in check. We need more people like her and not pastors who still frolicks and dine with corrupt politicians.

dhantey324:
Giving cars to the police is the new trend. I am sure someone is smiling to the bank with this trend.

Of course that person is Elizade. Our leaders don't think, they just throw money to problems

MadCow1:
Kanu should just puy himself on OLX and hope one of these useless struggling clubs like Chelsea can pity hin and buy him.



But seriously though, Kanu should be smarter. How can he tie his personal asset to a company? Any wise business man knows to hedge his risk by limiting his liability incase of insolvency.

This is unacceptable for someone like Kanu.

It is called Personal Guarantee. This is different from the Collateral that it given to secure the loan. It gives the lender confidence that the money borrowed will be repaid. The Court has already barricaded Hadley Apartments and the hotel/guest house is under key and lock. Unfortunately, I wondered what he used the borrowed money for?

They give second-hand stuff to poor widows, but pastor rides a brand new Porsche. Well, mek una continue to dey make una pastor rich. Not my business

Laughs .... WTF. CBN is thinking. I have always wondered why electronic payments are not used. Now, there will be proper audit trail and violators will be prosecuted. The CBN should also know that our Politicians are the major customers to BDCs and they used BDCs to launder funds. We must reduce our dependency on cash and begin to embrace electronic mode of payment.

amazingspiderma:
Honeywell,then Oando.I see nothing but companies that suddenly appeared from thin air.
Just like the political Transcrop.

Sir, it is better not to comment when you have little knowledge on an issue. Oando and Honeywell, two companies operating in different industries, are not companies that suddenly appeared from thin air a.k.a Shell companies. These are publicly owned companies, trading in the Nigeria Stock Exchange.

osazeeblue01:
One of the CHANGE. You people know fully well that Buhari lack the quality to lead this country because of greed and tribal you people voted Buhari.

Sir, this is a poor comment. What is affecting these people is a global situation and not country specific. Buhari economic plans cannot change the Oil & Gas industry. The industry is just going through phase one of its downtime. There is phase two, which will completely eradicate the industry and make it obsolete. An illustration is what Musical CD plate did to Vinyl and what Online Streaming is doing to CD plate now.

This phase two period may not come soon, but it is unavoided. Investors are spending huge money to develop alternative energy because it is cheaper and environmentally friendly. Ever heard of Elon Musk? He is a South African-American Billionaire. The man has dedicated his life in making groundbreaking inventions. His car, Tesla, an electric premium car, won the best car of the year twice in a roll. He is also creating a tube that can get people to their destination in seconds and his passion is alternative energy.

After reading the publication and comments here, I think it is necessary to cut the crap and avoid people getting this wrong.

I have been following the Oil and Gas industry for a while and I can take you that Oando has funding issues. The company made huge investment last year before the drop in Oil prices (poor strategic decision). In order to address this concern, they divested their stake in their Downstream sector (red flag when a company is having financing issues). Recently, the company is proposing a Right Issue to existing shareholders, they are also proposing to divest further and concentrate more on Upstream (a huge financing red flag). Also, the company has a net cash deficit of over N69 billion and made a loss of over N47 billion in its recently released quarterly financial results (September 2015). The Oil & Gas industry is not finding it rosy and this trend will continue. Employees should have seen the signs and begin to plan their exit. Oando must survive and it must trim its cost to address the external pressure it is currently facing. It's huge staff expense has to go down, hence the layoffs. Oando is not the only oil and gas company facing this challenge. The multinationals are also experiencing the same thing. Layoffs are currently ongoing in America. I may sound a bit harsh, but the staff members complaining are unfair. Except they are ignorant of the financial position of their Company.

I informed a friend that in 30 years, the Oil and Gas industry may be history because of technology. Consumer preference is shifting towards alternative energy. Vehicles may begin to run on solar or electric power, homeowners and manufacturing companies may decide to use solar power to reduce their huge energy cost. I also advised a Youth Corper to avoid applying for Oil and Gas vacancies. This is not the best time.

On the other hand, Banks are going to find it hard next year in view of the stringent economic reform plans a.k.a BUHARINOMICS. However, this sector may bounce back from 2017.

Let me conclude by requesting that employees should study the financial statements of their companies. It will educate you and help you plan better.

Sarang:
We will know when Jesus comes

Guess what - you would be the first to reject him when he comes if he would even come. Please dont look to the sky and expect chariots - that will never happen

People continue to look for Jesus. If he comes will you recognize him? Would you agree to his teachings? Well, Jesus is done with this world and he ain't coming back.

I also wonder why people continue to get hoodwink to a religion that is so old and outdated for our present civilization.

Gawd. I am lost for words. People are dying in the North east. Why are humans so heartless
