Shows Nigeria is a rich country if this kind of amount is been budgeted for with 6 months towards election.

Unfortunately the funds are not being used for the right reasons.

We need to stand up against this level of corruption at the next election.

aljharem: Intimidation is the way of the APC even here on Nairaland

Sir, stop being a buffoon.

It beyond believe why some folks are blaming the opposition party APC for this incident.

Why wasn't there violence in the past few years in Ekiti State, whilst APC were in charge.

This is an inter-party (PDP) disagreement go wrong.

The sharing formula from PDP didn't get to the foot soldiers, hence the NURTW leader has to pay with his life.

Politics of violence have returned to Ekiti State.

Unfortunately nothing will change...gender inequality will still continue to strive regardless of the campaign by individuals with true intention.

Crude oil in exchange for arms.

What happened to all the defence budget over the past 16 years.

A massive and detailed audit of the Ministry of Defence have to be done.

Watch out for some extremely rich politicians in the next few years.

nora544: It is the the people start to learn that this prosperity gospel is heresy and that is the same with the charismatic movement.

The people who belong to this churches are not rich and when they have no money they cannot give it to the church.

The prosperits gospel is a losing gospel.

The only country where it still works in nigeria with their rich pastors where followers lost their brain.

Very true, the prosperity gospel is a fallacy from the pit of hell which doesn't add any spiritual value to the lives of those who follow the prosperity preachers.

Lots of christians have been taken on a ride. I think it time to get back to basics of true christian living.

I recommend a book by David Lee Richardson titled: 'Sunday Morning Stick Up: What your Pastor doesn't want you to know about tithes'.

Read with open mind with a bible as reference.

Congrats to the very few giving Nigeria a good name.

Very nice memorial.

I guess more should follow.

asalimpo: Is paula white pastoress also in this church?

Paula White is now the Senior Pastor of New Destiny Christian Centre (NDDC) in Florida.

NDDC used to be pastored by late Dr Zachary Tims, who was found dead in a New York hotel in August 2011 and his ex-wife Riva Tims.

The Tims' divorced back in 2009 after 15 years of marriage.

So much is going on in all these churches, but are been kept under wraps so as not to cause a huge blow to their image.
It's all about their 'false image packaging'.

Now this is just sad, the doors of Without Walls International Church are closing, after Bishop Randy White filed for bankruptcy, allegedly. Yes, it's happened to a lot of churches, but there's no excuse for the White's. Why? Simply, because when Randy and Paula White were once married and it seemed like the church didn't suffer financial hardships. This was before the late Dr. Zachary Tims died of a drug overdose, allegedly and P. White took over his church. When Tims was alive he was allegedly a part of the board of Without Walls International Church.
During the 90's and early 2,000's era, many of you recall when the White's, Tims' and the Weeks couple were very popular on Christian television back in the day. Now, just look at what happened to the church that was once attracted so many souls to the church and millions of dollars was flowing into the former couple's ministry.

According to BayNews9.com, last March, the credit union took over the Lakeland property after the church filed for bankruptcy.

Tell us, is this what megachurches are all about, multimillion dollar franchises that shut down when there are no more funds?

From Bay9news:

TAMPA --
It was a full house inside Without Walls International Church Sunday morning as church members came to say goodbye.
Among those praying at the church for the last time is single mom Yolanda Monge. She said the church has helped in times of need.
“They’ve helped me financially, they’ve helped me emotionally through the ministries,” said Monge.
After 15 years of service in the once empty warehouse, Pastor Randy White said it was time to turn out the lights.
“I’m leaving a lot of great memories here," said White. "Some of the greatest experiences in my life have happened here, some of the greatest people I have met here.”
Without Walls once boasted 22,000 members and was among the fastest growing churches in the U.S.
When White divorced his wife in 2007, half its members walked away which led to a financial downfall.
Over the years, the church has taken out millions in loans, using the location and their location in Lakeland as collateral.
Last March, the credit union took over the Lakeland property after the church filed for bankruptcy.
On Friday, the church finalized its sale of the location for $14.3 million.
But all is not lost for longtime members like Yolanda.
Services for now will be held at Blake High School.

I came across the above articles:

What amazes me is that with all the 'prosperity gospel' being preached in these churches, why will they be declared bankrupt?

What sort of teaching are the preachers and pastors practicing e.g. 'name it and claim it', '24 hours instant debt recovery' etc....

How do the church members feel when they see before their eyes, the various men and women of God involved in so many financial atrocities?

What happened to all the various 'donations' given over the years and how are they accounted for?

Those this mean that most mega-churches are just business-ventures without effective accountability?

What name are these mega-churches giving Christians worldwide?

And many, many other serious allegations.

That's good creativity.

What has Mallam Atiku forgot to pick up in Aso Rock that he's bent on contesting for the Presidency?

I think someone should advise the Mallam to go and sit down 'jeje' and let others take the lead.

He and his Oga (Buhari) have been 'serial presidential candidates' all their lives.

Anyone else is surely better than both of them. Another fruitless journey in my opinion.

This kind of male teacher, female student shenanigans has been happening since longest time, unfortunately it will never stop.

Best advice to both male teachers: look but don't ever make the mistake of touching.

I can't believe that nothing will come out of this useless committee report.

The collapsing of the building should be treating as a criminal offence which should be investigated thoroughly.

Does this mean that those who lose their lives, have died in vain?

That's inferiority complex issue for a guy to bleach.

And they all look awful.

Exactly my thoughts.

The money is not meant for 'arms' purchase, but to be laundered in a coded way.

The Israeli guy is just a decoy. SA have said the 'two supposedly arms suppliers' are not registered or even known companies in SA.

Has anybody asked the question, if the money is meant for purchasing arms, why isn't any one of the many 'presidential jets' (10 as at last audit) be used for this purpose?

There are other ways to buy arms in the international market.

This is a money laundering attempt done wrong.

Yet the National Assembly haven't got the guts to investigate this big corruption scandal.

We have to vote out this inept government that keeps staggering from one corrupt allegation to the next.

Property plus unemployment is a bad combo for Nigerian youths.

No wonder our youths can't organise a simply revolution because the politicians have pocketed them.

Which means they can't make simple, intelligent discussion in the current political climate.

So much for the transformation agenda and remodelling process in all major airports in Nigeria.

For those of us who use the MMA, there has been little remodelling process.
Most of the work done are too substandard. The carousel belts are still the same at the arrival section and the heat in that section is so unbearable.

If the stated amount N174bn has been spent we should get a far better bright sparkling remodelled airport.

Take a look at the remodelled Terminal 2 at Heathrow airport and compare the difference. £2.3bn was spent in the for the whole project and completed on time.

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=pictures+of+new+terminal+2+heathrow&biw=1280&bih=897&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=mAkgVJLdMqOe7gbz9ICQDA&ved=0CCkQsAQ

Nigeria's Ministry of Aviation spent N174bn (appx. £0.67bn using the official ex.rate of £1 = N260), why can't we see a massive difference compared to what we currently have.

All past ministers of aviation should arrested and prosecuted for the massive failures recorded in our airports.

It's a shame that truth has lost its value and place in Nigeria.

The Town Planners in charge of building structures, the Local Government Area in control of Ikotun, the State Government and ultimately the SCOAN church are all guilty in this sad episode. There is no need to blame any aircraft for the collapsing of the building.

What compensation will be paid to the families of the departed?

But he that his mandate is only for one term.

It shows being in power in very sweet.

Good luck to Goodluck Jonathan in his political adventure for 2nd term.

Some aggrieved members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ethiope West Local Government Area of Delta State yesterday kicked against alleged imposition of former Governor James Ibori’s daughter, Atake, on the people of the area for the state House of Assembly race.

The protesters said going by the existing zoning formula in the area, it was the turn of Oghareki people to produce the Assembly candidate of PDP in 2015, warning that any attempt to impose candidate on the people of the council would be resisted.

Monday Adu Akponome, who spoke on behalf of the protesters, including some House of Assembly aspirants in Ethiope West, alleged that the loyalists of the former governor had perfected plans to impose his daughter on the people of the area.

Politics is now a family affairs.

Bad news for the so many 'illegal immigrants' who are praying for a yes vote.

It obvious that the votes will be a resounding no.

For now it is extremely difficult for Scotland to break away because the Commonwealth is too strong.

At least for now the seed of wanting their independence has be sown, I forsee in decades to come, their independence will surely happen.

There's no way I will vote for GEJ at the next election.

He actions and management of the country has not been very encouraging.

I'll rather cast my vote for the state governorship election.

It's still astonishing that this is the same GEJ people campaigned for when Yar'adua's cabal dealt with him back in 2009.

President Goodluck Jonathan will soon announce that after careful and detailed consultations with well-meaning Nigerians, he will be putting himself forward for reelection based on his transformation agenda......

The shoes doesn't have any class.

Money Laundering that went very bad.

Bunch of amateurs at work.

This government has really failed and yet some people are so blind they will vote for GEJ again.

How are the job vacancies advertised and what recruitment process where followed in giving the recipients offer letters?

GEJ with his abracadabra policies.
