Smooyis: Nothing is really impossible with God. I guess it must have been 24hours daily. Meaning day and night non stop. And i think the entire building must be a tangle of iron rods and other steel materials rather than bricks. KUDOS nonetheless.

Yeah you couldn't resist the urge to drag your god into the discourse.You honestly think the Chinese have got time for frivolities?Continue dissipating your energy on trivial prayers whilst serious minded nations move ahead.Eventually,we'll still go cap-in-hand begging the 'doomed' nations...sigh

Ah ah!So fast?

This just goes to show that the Christians are just as dangerous as the Muslims. The difference is in the degree of harm they inflict. To this extent,the Muslims have the upper hand. But seriously do we expect any different? Listen to their God....

Lmao @ mayowaak,classic. What should we title that story? Erm..lemme see..'A day in the life of a 'True Christian'..No?

Governor Orji should move quickly,arrest & prosecute all those involved in this criminal act. Oh never mind,i'm living in a parallel world

It is based on the multiplicity of contradictions, lies & inconsistencies in the bible that it is almost impossible to remain a Christian & be considered intelligent. It's a paradox.Christians read your Bibles from start to finish & maybe just maybe,you'll get that head scratching moment

Even if Oyedepo shoots a man dead today,these bleached brainwashed m0rons will still blame the dead man for tempting a 'man of God'. The same way they attacked Ese Walter & exonerated pastor Biodun. The same way they fiercely supported Odulele until he ended up in jail. You folks are really sickening. Your attitude towards matters of this nature is totally reprehensible.& we wonder why Nigeria is such a cesspit

''Winners Chapel Violence" continues as Oyedepo watches beating of OGTV staff by church members

For the second time, some members of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, better known as Winners Chapel have attacked another set of officials of Ogun State Government.
A reporter and cameraman of the state television station, OGTV, were the latest victims.
The State Commisioner for Information and Strategy,Alhaji Yusuph Olaniyonu,identified the assaulted officials as Mr Peter Falomo, a reporter with OGTV and his cameraman, Lekan Egunjobi.
The duo,according to the statement by the commissioner, were severely beaten and their camera was damaged when they went to the Ota premises of the church to cover the service of building inspection notices by officials of the Ministry Of Urban and Physical Planning.
The video camera of the TV crew was forcibly seized and damaged in the process. The camera was only released after the recording had been wiped off.
“Apart from the TV crew, two officials of the Ministry were also injured by the irate church members who prevented the team from entering the premises.
“The assault was witnessed by the Head Pastor of the Church, Bishop David Oyedepo who equally was visibly angry by the decision of the officials to attempt to carry out their statutory duties in his church premises.
“At a point, the Bishop was saying unprintable things while querying the audacity of the state officials to attempt to regulate building of structures for commercial purposes in his church premises.
” The officials of the Ministry of Urban and Physical Planning who were accompanied by policemen had, following the previous day similar assault of their counterparts in the OGIRS, earlier made a report of their planned visit to the Winners Chapel premises at the Divisional Police Station, Onipanu, Ota”,the statement read in parts.
Those wounded were taken to the General hospital in Ota where they were treated and subsequently discharged.
It was gathered that the matter has also been reported to the police.
Commenting on the development, the General Manager in the Ogun State Urban and Physical Planning Board, Mr Stephen Adewolu, who was part of the team that was molested in Ota, expressed shock at the lawlessness displayed by the Winners Chapel members and their leaders.
According to him,”No organisation can carry on as if it is above the law. We have information that the people in that church are just building structures indiscriminately without building approval, without necessary environmental impact assessment reports and they are violating planning laws and regulations.
” We only went there to serve statutory notices on the on-going building development and they are behaving as if the premises of the church is not covered by the laws of the state in which it is located”, he said.
The State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice,Mrs Abimbola Akeredolu confirmed to our correspondent that her Ministry is studying the the facts on the two incidents with a view to take appropriate legal measures.
Also, officials of the Winners Chapel had shunned meetings of the Stakeholders Forum established by the state government for representatives of organisations located in the state to deliberate with the government on issues of common interest, particularly compliance with extant laws on physical planning and taxation.
On Thursday afternoon, security personnel of the Kingdom Heritage Nursery and Primary School, a commercial venture located within the complex of Winners Chapel, had violently assaulted tax officials and damaged assets of the Ogun State Internal Revenue Service (OGIRS).
Bishop Oyedepo's Aides Assault Ogun Tax Officials
A serious legal crisis is brewing between Bishop David Oyedepo, controversial General Overseer of the Living Faith Church, better known as Winners Chapel, and the Ogun State Government, following a physical assault by the Bishop's boys on some government officials who visited a school owned by the clergyman over tax issues.

The Ogun State Government is currently fuming and has threatened to take appropriate actions against the church owner whose, school, the Kingdom Heritage Nursery School, has allegedly evaded tax for about six years now.
According to the government, its officials visited the school located within the church headquarters in Ota, Ogun State, to effect the payment of the tax but staff of the school beat up the officials and locked them up for three hours. They were reportedly rescued by the Divisional Police Officer of the Onipanu Police Station in Ota.

A video footage presented to journalists by the Ogun State Government as evidence showed the officials being assaulted and detained within the school by the school officials.
Speaking about the incident, Chairman of the Ogun State Internal Revenue Service, Jide Odubanjo said his officials were at the school as part of their statutory functions, such as accessing and inspecting financial records of the school as they do with other businesses in the state. He said the tax officials had written several times to the church but the refusal of the church to act favourably left the officials with no choice but to visit the school physically only for them to be manhandled and locked up.
He said an officer of the Ogun State Internal Revenue Service is currently hospitalised in Ilaro while others who sustained minor injuries have been treated and discharged. He also alleged that a number of assets belonging to the state government were damaged beyond repair by the school staff.
Odubanjo, who addressed journalists in company with some commissioners in the State, said the government had lodged a complaint at the police station.
He added that the government would take appropriate steps to ensure that justice is done and that its agents are not handled unlawfully in the course of their official responsibilities.

“We condemn in the strongest terms any act of violence perpetrated against officers in the discharge of their legitimate duties,” he said.
“It is shocking and disheartening to see uniformed officers of OGIRS being violently assaulted. We view it as the height of irresponsibility and lawlessness for any person or group of persons to assault government officials who are performing their lawful duties.”
The church is yet to react to the allegation.

Seriously this is really sad.It's not like i ever held Oyedepo or his ilk in high esteem in the first place but this is a new low!Only possible in a dysfunctional society like Nigeria

Nolongthing1: This thread is a clear of why growth will take a long time, this is a good example of why our GNP is low when people can't separate their personal values from business retrogression sets in ...Please remove religious sentiments from your business
It's even in one of the scriptures that money answereth all tins

All business is permissible as long as you don't harm your Neigbour and it's legal.

My sentiments exactly! Nigeria is in this despicable state because most Nigerians are basically lazy & un-industrious & just hide under the cloak of religion as an excuse. Can't you see why the churches are always full? Why pastors are living in opulence,why everybody wants to become a pastor,evangelist,GO or something like that. Why churches keep springing up everywhere? Because people have come to realise that the average Nigerian does not want to work but expect a miracle of some sort where his god would bless him with bags of money! How? So these con men sell them false hope for a little fee of course & keep them in a trance like state,waiting for that big payday..sigh. I feel for my people

And oh while we're at it,how many diseases have these so called faith prayers eradicated. Let me guess,zilch,nada,zero! On the contrary,science has been at the forefront of eradicating diseases for the last two or three centuries

I just laugh at Christians & their desperate attempts at mental gymnastics to sheild their so called God of men. Their defense is so feeble it's not even funny.The truth is there's no such thing as faith healing & that's a fact. I know it,you know it,heck Oyedepo knows it! Enough of the shenanigans already

If we're to discuss contradictions & deceit in the bible this thread might get to a 100. The bible is the gold standard for contradictions & inconsistencies

The Bible states categorically,explicitly,unanbiguously and unequivocally that women should be treated as commodities & discarded of when you're done

You can continue to live in the bondage of religious relics or you can live your life unfettered. Women the choice is yours

There's virtually no religion on earth that takes women seriously. But Christianity, Islam & Judaism are the biggest culprits here

The Bible is right. Women,know your place in the grand scheme of things. Your God has spoken & who are you to question God?

I have no faith so what gives? Even if Christ returns again i'll still sell him to the Jews a second time.& this time,for a lot more

Christians,you're doing it wrong

kendraloops: tnx jare but d person really got on ma nerves. here I am trying to find a solution to a pressin issue n he's dere spewing trash. promise to control it from now on.

I'm afraid you can't. It's an inherent Godly attitude & strong Christian characteristic

kendraloops: which will strike u very very soon. watch out!

Exactly as your Bible would put it. So no surprises there

kendraloops: r u 4 real?

As real as a heart attack

You can use this as a guide

The greed of these so called God of men is insatiable. They're just like the Red Sea,keep collecting & accumulating without giving back to society even when it is obligatory to do so. All it would have taken was for Oyedepo to give the word for the taxes to be cleared lest his name be dragged through the mud & it would be paid up to the last kobo in the blink of an eye. Because at the end of the day,the buck still stops at his table just like the president takes the blame for any societal ill irrespective of whether it's his fault or not. But nooo he'd rather turn a blind eye,feign ignorance & flaunt his usual Naija 'do they who i am' mentality. Seriously,what is there to learn from these Christians?

Just makes you wonder what manner of God is this that insists you starve yourself and scream your lungs out before he listens.Even at that he does nothing,stay smoking his weed to get the 'Most High'..Sigh

To say Jonathan hasn't done or achieved anything will be a lie from the pits of hell. But there's a hell of a lot work yet to be accomplished & his numerous gaffes haven't helped any

Looks to me like a picture of Alibaba & the 40 10 thieves. Oh well,welcome to Nigeria where thieves are glorified to the high heavens. As far as we're concerned in these parts;the end justifies the means. So Oyedepo,like the decent 419ner that you are,keep fleecing them. Mugus never stop giving as long as you keep them happy

italo: What sources are you reading from?

Enemies of the Church, I'm sure.

For only an enemy will dubiously exaggerate the bad things we have done, lie that we did things we didnt do and refuse to acknowledge that we are the largest providers of charity in the world. No one else comes close.

What have you done for the good of the world?

I don't need to discuss the good things i have done & still do lest i be accused of hubris. There's no exaggerations of the evils of the catholic church. The vatican has had a hand in every devious dealing in the past 5 centuries. Only a m0ron would pretend not to know. About having the largest charity,how does that take away from the heinous activities of the catholic church? Is that supposed to hush us up?

Ubenedictus: it seems you are totally ignorant of the facts. Joining the nazi youth movement isn't by choice but by force. Every german youth in that period joined. It wasn't a matter of choice. Th congregation for doctrine and faith isn't in charge of the inquisition pope puis made sure of that.

please present the decree that handed everything directly to ratzinger, mind you all papal decrees are online, simply present the decree and tell us how ratzinger didn't follow it.

not every one is pope johnpaul, from the begining of ratzingers palpacy he made it very clear that he would resign should his bodily strength fail. Your idea that pope don't resign is immediately contradicted by your admission that it happens. Pope st celestine resign simply because he consider himself unskilled in worldly matters.

this is a conspiracy theory and it shows you are totally ignorant of the history of the catholic church. Ignorance is a disease even the bible says 'study to show yourself approve!

I think you're the ignorant one here. You don't know a damn thing about your faith. First read up on the Catholic Church & slavery,then follow it up with the Spanish inquisition,and then the catholic church and the Sicilian mafia,the catholic church and the dark ages,and also the catholic church & paedophilia. I can go on and on. There's nothing worthy of emulation from you lots. Your reputation reeks to the high heavens. And please don't bring in that Jewish book of fables into the argument or your argument will be taken to pieces
