Good day guys! I have had so much restrained in commenting on this thread because I know people could easily take ones comment on such sensitive issues negatively. However as i put on my system to prepare for an exam i am having soon, i couldnt resist putting one or two comments. I am commenting as someone who has had quite a number of experience in banking, though I have been voluntarily out of the system for about a year. I have worked as what is referred to as core staff and i have been sympathetic of the complaints of contract staff even though I always advised them to never always settle for the least.

I sympathize with people that lost their lives and all other who suffered unfortunate experience that bothers on life. However, the reality of life and present day Nigeria makes company to want to explore the options of contract staff as we call it. My younger brother works for one though not banking. He just did his wedding and i am sure he was not given off days not to talk of leave and the organisation was not represented. He works with B.sc with a lot of certifications to go along with it.

For the sake of people who are still young, make choices early in life as what we do in life eventually is likely dependent on the add ups of life with little variance. I feel like telling a back ground story of what i read and how i got to this place but may be that could be for another day.

Truly, we might think that Travelista is too arrogant but believe me he has a lot of sense he is making.

Let me start by saying that banking work is terrible, even when you work as a professional staff, dont just make it a comfort zone. Dream, dream and dream and always look for where you can better or improve yourself. If i stay on tellering which is the bulk of contract staff in a place like Gtbank and Access bank, they take OND and not HND. The idea when they started is that they can cut cost by employing OND for 2 years where they can have requisite experience and then raise fund to further their education to HND or Bsc. However, probably because of the condition of the country, many of them choose to stay and work for 4, 5, 6 years or more. Since it helps banks to cut cost, they allow it since many of them are willing to stay. Some go on to do HND on part time while some do Bsc on part time. Some dont do anything. I know many who do not even have a CV. The sad part is that i know many of my then subordinates, who after starting with their OND, got married almost immediately and try to live large without thinking of their condition of service and what the next stage of life should look like.

One thing i always say is that, some of these terms are known before accepting jobs and they are also their in black and white for people to decide if thats what they want or not. When my brother finished school, IBL wanted to take him on contract and i told him you will regret it for the rest of your life if you are not careful. It was hard for him, thank God he took it and he started doing jobs of 15k or thereabout but that allowed him to do certifications. Though he works on contract for a company at the moment but with better terms and I am sure remuneration. But even with this, he is always trying out on interviews and jobs even if it involves him traveling at night a times. I am always impressed with his doggedness.

Last year, i was applying to many schools abroad and looking for scholarships and I was carrying out some of the contracts staff under me alond. I kept telling them that my salary is very much higher than yours and I am ready to take the risk. I expected some of them will come and say bros let us do it together. Some of these schools if you are lucky will give you full scholarship which includes tuition and feeding while you can have access to loan as well. Apart from the monetary reward, it can give you a leeway to better life. It is a risk i had to take but none is willing to go near it. It has not been easy for me and my family. I am back and not working yet but I know with time, i will find something to do. When I was leaving, i told them i dont mind starting all over again if need be cos i need to take my destiny in my hand.

Unfortunately we are in a capitalist world, during my programme i got to know that everywhere, companies want to rip you off and it opened my mind the more. Companies in US, UK want to take people for unpaid internship for 6 months or even 1 year. Thats the reality of the present world. I met people from parts of Europe who have worked for years end earning 300 Euros a month, that is about 60k a month. The one room i took during my programme is 300 Euros a month and i think thats one of the least in my class.

Hmnnnnnn, when some of us start business we will understand this craze for cutting cost. We need to take our destiny into our hands early enough in life. We should ask questions like 1. Do I want to do this job? 2. What are the terms and conditions and do they favour me. 3 If i am taking it, do I want to stay long? 4. If i am not staying long, what are the plans for my future. etc.

I pray we have a better country but let us strive beyond our comfort zone.

I am sorry if some dont feel comfortable with my comment but we can always dialogue.

“For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.”
Isaiah 9:16

“Let them alone: they be leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.”
Matt 15:14

I was going to be silent on this sad, pathetic but true (in many shades) allegation against Pastor B and his popular and trendy ministry. My silent was borne out of respect for the kingdom of God and things that pertain to God. But all this changed when I heard the horrific tales of people who had been through the mess of this blind man, and the fact that he had no moral motivation to deny or accept the allegation; all he showed on Sunday was a demented swagger and perverse talk.

My sole purpose in writing this piece is to open the eyes of the world and believers to the hypocrisy and nonsense behind the pulpit, and to plea that these wolves and blind men stop deflating the faith of people who Christ died for. I am a Pastor, a full time minister at that, and I shall not sit back while the name of my God, the ministry, and the works of other shepherds is brought to disrepute by the activities, action and inaction of a few blind men behind the pulpit. I am tired of the nonsense of religion crying out, “touch not my anointed”; does this mean we cannot rebuke ourselves when we err, this much Paul did to Peter when he erred in Galatians 2:11 “But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed”. It is therefore pertinent that I rebuke the wolves in shepherd’s clothing’s. It is time to set the record straight, and please don’t sell me the bullocks of judge not, I haven’t said anyone is going to hell, but of course if they don’t change, they have only one path.

It is high time we told the truth, which is plain, simple and without coloration. The stories of Franca and Ese is not only true but they are just a few tales of the tantalizing sex escapades of this clergy. This has been a recurring decimal in the ministry of the clergyman. This wasn’t the first time these stories will come forth, for those old COZA members, for those who were there when he was in Ilorin, when the church moved to Pipeline Road, Ilorin, having left Kwara Hotel, they will remember there was a time when the Pastor was suspended from ministering by his Father in the Lord, Rev Oset of Canaan Ministries. Rev. Oset sent guest ministers to the church every Sunday after that, but still Pastor B in his deceit will still minister in the pretence of introducing the guest minister, while he exhorts for minutes. I therefore laugh in mockery when He says his wife loves him, the woman has no choice. His core circle of Pastor Wole (Ilorin Chapter, the only man who maybe clean), and Pastor Flo (COZA, Lagos) knows of this fact, little wonder Ese said Pastor Flo said he knows about their adventures in that hotel room in London.

This is not the story of a hater; I don’t want or envy anything he has. He cannot ever have what I have and carry; neither do I crave for what he has. I am sure no one in the city of Ilorin, where this man started is bemused by these stories, no one who finished from the University of Ilorin during the period of 2003-2008, and was not a blinded COZA member can be mightily shocked at these revelations. I have heard tales of many more victims, I even heard from a woman who knows five friends who were victims, I saw it online the other day of a guy who said he formally works for him and he knows up to 130 people, outrageous as it may sound that too is true. Rev Oset in true conscience cannot deny the knowledge of these negatives. But we are a nation of hypocrites and religious folks; we ask no questions of leaders, so they can hide under the canopy of religion, even when they are filthy. Anyone who asks is rebuked by those who say, the bible says pray. It is sad that those who say pray themselves have not prayed. But Pastor B is just a decimal in an ever mounting number of wolves in the Church of Christ.

Someone told me yesterday that this can’t be the end of him and his tyranny, because even in Ilorin in those days, the allegation was rolled under the rug. On Sunday, August 25, 2013, the man leading certain blind men under the veil of religion and ‘spiritism’ said God told him not to say anything, he then said they are preparing a robust response. Who is fooling who? We must not keep quiet and watch the bride of Christ, the church, rubbed and undignified in mud and slime by a filthily rich pastor who thinks he can do anything and get away with it.

It is a pity that we run sensational press and media outfit in this country, and that our press is blinded by religion. If this were to be ‘saner’ climes the press would by now be researching, there would by now be investigative journalism. The truth would be dogged up and resurrected to life. For this is not about a mistake that a Pastor made, it is about a filthy man’s way of life.

And then about, “teaching a new level of grace’; please be reminded that Grace is not a license to sin, rather it empowers us to live above sin. Romans 6:1-2 says, “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?” In my years of being a Christian, studying God’s word, preaching the gospel, listening to sound teachers, I have not heard of a grace that gives permission to sin. Stop being deceived, grace is the new dispensation, according to Hebrew 8:6-12, and under grace we do not follow any written code, law or traditions. That is done away with. The tablet of Moses is over with. But we are not reckless sinners; we are under a new covenant based on better promises. God’s law is written in our minds and hearts. We live according to His dictates. The Holy Spirit and our conscience convicts and judges us respectively. This is the only way we live a holy life. God’s strength and empowerment is the grace to do according to that written by God in our hearts and minds.

I write this with a heavy heart, though I wish I never had to write this, but I pray this madness stops. I know many who have stopped going to church, many whose faith has been derailed by the act of madness of this man, and many blind men like him. If they are not going to heaven, let them stop taking men out of the straight and narrow. No one understands the pain in meeting a man, whose faith has been derailed by a man who was supposed to help establish him. For such a man, words can’t bring him back, the best we can do is to pray and hope. I indulge the clergy to be of a higher moral standard.

My candid advice to the church at this end time is that the church must grow in knowledge; it’s high time we stopped bamboozling you. You must stop making idols of men. You must stop making men such as I, substitute for the Holy Ghost. Honour us; revere us… but that is where it ends. Without the Call, the Oil, and the Holy Spirit; we are mere mortal. But know for sure that this too shall pass; only the truth of the Gospel of the Kingdom abides forever.

For Pastor B and his sense making COZA people, remember the word of Christ in Matthew 15:14. How many of you even live life bearing the fruit of righteousness. Stop being blind, the ditch is close by. Look into this case, ask your pastor questions, seek genuine answers and not emotional rhetoric’s, hold him responsible, and do not forget the word of God, “then shall they know if they follow to know…” I am sure evidence abound. Seek to know from some key PCU members (who may need to be deposited in Gods ICU). Its time you hear not only about grace, but HOLINESS without which no one will see the Lord.

Finally don’t bother praying against me, I can say like Paul, “For me to die is gain, to live is Christ”, but I cannot even go now, because I am yet to fully finish the task set before me. Don’t waste your time using misguided scriptural interpretation. This I write is true, and I am sorry if you don’t like it. Your Pastor, and every other wolf whose conscience is not seared knows it is the complete true.

God bless you.
God bless His Church.

God bless Nigeria
