Jk210: Since the Innoson and Gtbank brouhaha broke out, I've been curious about the Bank's position especially as they have been silent.
Could this be because they were truly guilty of wrong doing or, is the Bank being blackmailed by Innoson- you know guerilla tactics? I mean why the whole social media campaign on a matter that is strictly a legal issue? Is there something more than meets the eye? Anyway, read the premium times article below and share your thoughts
MaziOmenuko: Lol...Mr Devils advocate, you fail to mention that all these churches have welfare units too and the welfare units are funded by members themselves and not from church tithes. The MFM instance you gave, the borehole must have been built by tasking members to contribute specially for it. Christ Embassy have a unit they call Inner City that does these charity works; Guess who funds Inner city? Church members who are called partners. So when you see any charity work from such a church, it is not from the tithes but from extra donations from members.
For those saying that no pastor forces people to tithe, you are joking. Most churches don't wed you if your tithe record is not up to date. Have you forgoten how Adeboye was boldly declaring last year that you are not a christian if you don't pay tithe. Now that the truth is coming out, the pastors are gradually retreating their earlier stance and making it sound like a freewill donation.

You don't have any sense of reasoning at all!!! Myopic bigot
UncleLondon: My cousin and I were in the said plane. The reason for the delay was untechnical, but human. The actual cause of the delay was caused by a Ghanaian teenage girl with a big backside who complained that an old man beside her took picture of her and touched her booobiez 3 times while she was sleeping.
The man got a slapped twice that everyone in the cabin heard and it turned to a big turmoil while crusing on air. Some other people started fighting which lead the pilot to reduce the cruising speed. Some people even threatened they would jump out if the pilot didn't make an emergency landing, but the pilot claimed it was not in the Standard Airbus Navigation Policy to make an emergency landing for such reason anywhere at latitude 9degree North of the equator and beyond.
So, if you read all this and thought I was making sense. You just wasted 2 minutes of your life. I just made everything up.
Motherfvcker....your father well well.!!! Oniranu oshi

Allow me to air my opinion on the imbroglio and controversial topic that has currently pervaded the political and tribal airspace of our dear country Nigeria. I am ibo and most of my very good friends are yorubas and I'm so proud to have them but the antics and actions of a myopic and deluded few due to the actions of the oba of lagos has left me in an utter state of bewildered and discombulation. The constitution of Nigeria allows for freedom of movement to ANY part of the country to settle and do business legitimately so why the rantings about sending a particular tribe back to their states. Funny enough, most of the yorubas saying this are not even Lagos yorubas but from other yoruba states. This smacks of verbal xenophobia and tribalistic jingoism which is capable of fanning embers of violence and which is definitely not good for the development of our dear nation. I'd like to ask these questions before I continue: 1. Was lagos developed by the yorubas or because of the former status as a FCT? 2. If u decide to send the ibos home, what about the non lagos yorubas and other tribes that make up lagos? Do you think lagos will survive if other tribes leave? These are important questions we need to ask ourselves. let me say this; Lagos is too cosmopolitan and metropolitan to be monopolised by one tribe,period!!! We travel outside the country and make money yet you fume when other tribes make money in your land. That's so unfair and totally bedevills my imagination to say the least. Nigeria belongs to all of us and we must work in harmony to ensure its progress. I am ibo from delta state and love the yorubas and their culture. Every tribe has it negativity but this should not be the yardstick to judge anyone. Thank you for your time. God bless Nigeria. Follow me on twitter @sleymor.
