Miracles, expensive cars, exorcisms and bodyguards: religion is big business in Nigeria. Reporter Seyi Rhodes and director Matt Haan travel to Lagos to reveal the extraordinary world of the millionaire preachers.

By promoting the dream of escaping poverty, they have turned their churches into corporations, which are changing the face of Christianity.

Every Sunday millions of Nigerians crowd into thousands of competing churches. The team visits one church in Lagos run by Dr Sign Fireman, an up-and-coming preacher who is attempting to break into the big time.

They find 2000 people at an event billed as the Burial of Satan. After a rock star entrance, Dr Fireman begins his service by exorcising the demons in his congregation.

Many Nigerian Pentecostal Christians believe that demons are the root cause of their problems in life and come to people like Dr Fireman to get rid of them. Over 20 men and women, including some who worked for Dr Fireman, have the evil spirits inside them expelled.

Sick members of the congregation come forward for miracle healing. Dr Fireman claims to have God-given powers that can change people's lives, from raising people from the dead to curing earache. One man tells the crowd he is crippled and blind. Dr Fireman then channels his powers to help the man walk and see again. Yet, earlier the team has seen the man walking unaided.

At the close of the event the crowd swarms forward and throws money at Dr Fireman's feet. There is so much cash it has to be collected in dustbins. Rhodes talks to one worshipper who says that those who give money are repaid by God with good fortune.

Some Nigerian Pentecostal Christians believe giving 10 per cent of their income will bring God's blessing into their lives, their families and their businesses. With the service over, Dr Fireman leaves in his yellow Hummer 4x4.

Through the marketing of his talents, Dr Fireman has expanded his Perfect Christianity Ministry to 40 branches. Key to this growth is the emphasis on prosperity preaching: teaching that prosperity is a sign of spiritual blessing. The idea is that to become rich, you should give money to the church.

Pentecostal and independent churches in Nigeria tap into the Nigerian dream: the aspiration of having and being seen to have cars, houses, money and power. To get more people to join his church, Dr Fireman believes portraying the right image is essential and shows the trappings of wealth his church has brought him. He travels everywhere with his bodyguards in one of his three yellow luxury cars with a combined worth of more than £150,000.

Dr Fireman's business model is not a new one. Most of the richest pastors in Nigeria use similar methods of expansion. The team meets Pastor Chris Okotie, the fifth richest pastor in the country, who had hits in the 80s with records such as Secret Love and Show Me Your Backside.

His church, House of God, attracts Nigerian film stars, celebrities and musicians. Pastor Okotie has used his power base to run for the last three presidential elections, believing the principles of prosperity preaching will provide a better future for Nigeria.

Local journalist Simon Ateba says it's almost impossible to establish their true wealth. Simon takes the team to the headquarters of Christ Embassy. He claims that two years ago when he tried to take photographs of the building, security guards dragged him inside and beat him until he fainted. Soon after he tells this story, security guards drag Rhodes into the building by his belt. He escapes unscathed.

The team visits Dr Fireman. He's busy in a music studio recording a new song as he expands his business into the music industry. Rhodes asks him how he can square his wealth and celebrity status with the teachings and life of Jesus.

Dr Fireman says that God wants him to be rich and denies that Jesus had a humble life. 'Jesus was rich and had an accountant who followed him around,' he tells Rhodes.Could this be acting or real?? my fellow nairaland follow the link and watch the video and testify .

what about solution

@OP go and settle your problem with your family members, no reasonable advice that will come out here, rather you will end up having double mind to your problem. Also as you rightly said that your brother maybe into internet whatever, don't you think he may be a member of NL and at the-same time reading your write up and peoples responds?? Think before you seek public opinion. If the money was made in illegal way, he will not return the money back. So as the situation maybe now, advice him to diciest from the future once and help him utilize the fund if you care for him, else allow him to enjoy his life, while you enjoy yours also. Involving  EFCC my brother na problem you dey invite for your family
cheers,

Death why are you so wicked Nwafor RIP it is well.
Flavour GOD bless you for this tribute, may GOD give the family strong heart to bear the lost

Say the truth and the truth shall set you free. Whether false prophet or real prophet, non of them will convince me to drop my hard earned money as a tithe to them. I only help the poor and beggars that need my money most and not those that have enriched themselves from one means or other. It is just a pity that in Nigeria the so called man of GOD don't know what Christianity is all about. In Europe for example, after church service, members of the church eat and chart together and discourse basic problems with each other. Twice in a month the church provide basic things to people that are in need, for eg,foods, medical treatments etc  free. Even one Nigeria church is now doing that were i am right now (RCCG), because with out being told, they will loose all their members to other foreign church. The question now is, if other foreign church should do all this, why can't Nigeria church equally do the-same??. People should wake up and condemn what is wrong. Anybody can pay tithe, but for me i don't pay and GOD always bless me more.

IMO, that poo is just straight up slow,

When people pray like that, its as a result of the euphoria that the crowd is feeling. I remember their was this church that I once visited, I honestly detached all emotions and sat in the audience as an observer watching proceedings, what I realized was that when it came to prayer time, the band played this rather hypnotizing music that one couldnt just help feeling amped. Its almost like you are in a trans. A classic exeample is Mountain of Fire ministries., if you attend their services, what you would realize is that just before prayers begin, the pastor would push the sermon into high gear, the tempo would change, the would start moving around more, his voice would be high pitched, the preaching would be filled with charged messages, slowly but surely the pastor is whipping his crowd into a frenzy. You would start hearing scriptures like "Since the days of whoever the kingdom of God has suffered violence, and the violent taketh it by force", "put on the armour of God", "We war not against flesh and blood", "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal", e.t.c. All this time, the band is still playing this hypnotic tune in the background, then out of the blues, the preacher would order everybody to jump to their feet and go to war and then pandemonium would break out in the church, people would start vibrating, some would be groaning and making funny sounds, others would start speaking gibberish (tongues), some would start crying and the madness would be everywhere. SOme would even run out to the altar and lie there and all sorts of drama. In a crowd like that, even a skeptic could be swept up in the emotions if care isnt taken.
Now!! In the middle of this madness, it is quite easy or one to loose the plot of prayers which is communication with GOD (the heavenly father). Especially with mountain of fire, all you hear is "DIE BY FIRE", Yes!! "My sickness, die by fire", "my problems, die by fire", "My enemies, die by fire", etc. Some would "speak in tongues all through and would end up not even stating what it was they where praying for. There have even been situations where the pastor has asked the congregation to pray in "tongues", YES!!

So O.P!! is it more effective, frankly i'll say its the same old bullsh!t, different toilets. Jesus never prayed like that so where is this style from? And if praying is indeed talking to GOD, do you want to be yellig ta God?[/quote]@Okija-juju you equally go to church? , I hope the power pass your own power
