I was having a conversation with a lady and two guys a couple of days ago, and in the course of the conversation I told them I rarely drink alcohol (just a bottle of Heineken in a month or two), I don't smoke, I don't womanize and I don't crave for money.
I was told that I wasn't normal, that an average man must indulge in one or two of those vices.

I will people to share their opinions on this.

Be proud of your "abnormality" if that brings you peace and happiness. As long as what brings you joy, peace and happiness is not illegal.

This clowns and their obsession with Islamic state. Why not break away and create your own Islamic regime

They should just relocate to Afghanistan.

Security around politically exposed persons in Nigeria is far stronger than most Countries of the world. The way top politicians In other countries are been assassinated shows how weak their security system is.

Haiti's President Jovennel Moisi,now this one.

In Nigeria here,you can't even go close to ordinary local government chairman,not to talk assassination.

you no lie.

You dey do your own shady deals but you murder others for the same thing just because the law allows you to carry guns legally?

It's very nice of him, but why did he post someone's banking info online? To the vulture griller above derailing the thread, may thunder descend on you.

Some people will want to also give anonymously. Nothing dey sabi concern me with all these church matter but what I find particularly interesting is that they did not say the sacked guy was guilty of any misconduct or corruption.

Vireani79:
I have seen it
Guy the churches have lost it
It's painful but it's the truth
Imagine if the missionaries were sacked when they came to Africa
Even that Gideon not to be sold bible
Till date they still send down to us even with our mega churches
But u send person to ekiti for just one or two years
U vex sack am

It is good you saw the video to get a better understanding of the whole issue. I had told Ishilove to go see the pastor's videos where "church growth index" was explained to him as not generating adequate income and his branch "running at a loss" isnt acceptable by the church.
This is shameful, a disgrace. This isn't Christianity.

Vireani79:
Brother I am also a member of christ embassy alakija ojo

We grew the church from the scratch with pastor Tony ikoku and later his wife late pastor doyin may her soul rest in peace

Now I read all u said that's it's not because of tithe and offering
U talked about how u go out to win souls and bring them to church
Bros let's get this straight
The going out thingy in Christ embassy isn't about winning souls
We only most times 9 out of 10 just invite them and collect their data

Hardly do we really minister to them cos its just a short time every Sunday morning and yes we miss services
So it's not something I am not used to
During the days of pastor Tony way back 2002
We really did win souls
We go to thier houses
We sit with them
We share our clothes
We share our money
We find solutions for them
Jobs ...clothes ..food ...rent ...even health issues
Now when u do that
U truly win this people and they too begin to win people
That's was how Christ embassy ojo was built till it became a mighty church

In the days of sister lilly, dem no born u well not to bring ur report
U go win that soul

U go bring offering
U go bring seeds
Why cos u are made to be involved in the lives of these people u meet

Now saying that how much them wan bring is degrading becos many of us including me
When I came to Christ embassy ojo
I was poor
Broke
Naked

But after I began to worship there
I began to have
I made money and even travelled out to London
Many like me I saw in the UK from same Christ embassy ojo

So it has nothing to do with how much dem wan bring
Cos when God's word hit u right
Things will be right in ur life

But today how is the same ojo
No one cares
Church is now a fashion show
People only care if u have
Look into that brothers/ sisters eyes and say u love him
Na only tongue e dey

Now back to this topic
The pastors are sent to remote areas
And yes they are to win souls.
But also remember these areas have their traditional churches
From cele to c&s to Methodist to basptist to even their traditional worship and even Islam
It's not like Lagos or the urban areas
It's harder there
When I was in illogbo eremi along badagary express way
When I lost all I had after I came back from the UK
I joined the church there
Common giving of 10,000 naira was a challenge for the church
Cos people over there are super poor

Now this is within Lagos
And the pastor there must give report to the church in ijaniki
He has to show offerings which most times it's not up to 5k
Giving to various ministry departments is another issue
Now imagine inside Lagos ohhh
Now think of ekiti and all these predominantly farming communities

Bros church growth is all encompassing
Membership strength
Tithes and offerings
And seeds

The main church was footing the bills of the pastor and the church rent
But brother the people he was meeting no agree to change church
Also remember the covid lock down made many eyes to wide as many pastors didn't help.
And people understood that all man for himself
A lot of us don't do church anymore
I hardly go to church
Even if I go
These days pastor go they preach I go dey play candy crush

Jesus Christ said a time is coming where people will neither go to the mountains or the temples ( church) but those that worship God will worship him in Spirit and in truth.

That time is now

Col 2 :17 says the things u see are a shadow of the things to come

Our churches messed up
They didn't take advantage of the desire of the souls of the people
They focused mainly on the gospel of Materialism which many termed prosperity

The issue was more about tithe and offerings
U can cover it up all u want but many believers like u can see through the bull shit

My brother God bless you. You have said it all. There is nothing more to add or subtract.
This is the link to the video where the pastor said it the issue is about not being able to generate adequate revenue

Ishilove:
When I first read the news, I was wary because sensationalism is now the order of the day

This is the link to the videos. I saw the video even before reading the news. Hear from the mouth of the pastor direct . He was sacked because he couldn't generate enough miney.

See link to the man interview. He said the State pastor told him he wasn't making enough money to cover their expenses and the loss they are operating on isn't acceptable by the church.

Ishilove watch the interview. Stop defending these scamming mormon worshippers. You are smarter than this.

30k make have a deal

Are you normally this wicked or na joke? �� . Even if the person steal am e no warrant that kind pricing na.

Ishilove:
This is the reason why I wanted to see the letter before commenting. Church growth index is not the same as 'income generation' or whatever the heck was circulating on the internet.

What was circulating in the media was based on the interview the 'pastor' granted. He went to meet the state pastor concerning the sacked letter and he was told that his branch was running at a loss as the income generated cannot sustain the branch and the church running at a loss isn't acceptable. The pastor said he is being paid #40,000 monthly as contained in his employment letter. He wasn't the only one sacked. The "church growth index" was really about low income generated.

FIFA banned former Nigerian coach, Samson Siasia, for match fixing in 2019 and many people have assumed that he was banned for fixing Nigeria's matches. That's not the case. Samson Siasia Banned For Life By FIFA For Bribery, Match Fixing



There is a notorious Singaporean match fixer known as Wilson Raj Perumal. He is notorious for organising a lot of scam/fixed friendly matches for African countries, especially Southern African countries. His activities have led to the resignation, banning and dismissal of a lot of sports officials in South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Sierra Leone. He is also known for fixing matches in Asia and his activities led to the Asia-gate match fixing scandal. Mr Perumal has tried to fix matches in the Finnish League and the English Premier League.


Mr Perumal allegedly contacted Siasia and told him that there was a job vacancy in Australia. He was to help Siasia get the job if Siasia agrees to field players that Mr Perumal would select. Siasia had previously played in Australia in the 1990s.


However, the Australian club never accepted Siasia's demands, so he never got the job. Investigations into Mr Perumal revealed e-mail exchanges between him and Siasia. (Mr Perumal has been arrested and jailed in both Singapore and Finland for match fixing). This came to the notice of FIFA and the rest is history.

Mr Siasia said that he never met Mr Perumal and that he didn't do anything wrong. He said that he never accepted Mr Perumal's offer. He said Perumal contacted him by e-mail about a job offer in Australia, but the deal fell through because they couldn't pay what he wanted.



The Court for Arbitration in Sports reduced Mr Siasia's ban to five years because it said that Mr Siasia did not benefit anything (monetary or otherwise) from the interaction and he did not actually fix any match (he was never employed by the Australian club). Furthermore, they said that it was a first time offence and so it would be too harsh to ban him for life.

Samson Siasia: Life-Ban Reduced To Five Years By Court Of Arbitration For Sport

It is being reported that Mr Siasia plans to challenge the decision of the court.


However, Mr Perumal does have a connection with Nigeria. He claims in his book that he ferried Nigeria and Honduras to the final rounds of the 2010 South Africa FIFA World Cup by fixing their qualification matches. Mr Siasia was not the coach at the time.

Picture 1: Wilson Raj Perumal.

Picture 2: Samson Siasia

Not on the topic though. Are you a teacher? Do you teach in the university? Your write-ups are always factual, presented in very clear and lucid format, neatly presented. You are very knowledgeable and patriotic. I will like to meet you someday (I know I will) I have a small gift of a fountain pen (though inexpensive) that I cherish for you.
I doff my cap for you sir.

They just upgrading to better spec phone. Same brand. There is a redmi note 10 with me that am hoping i can upgrade to the pro with someone else soon... So u get now?

I got the Note 10 too. I remembered Peculiar telling me to get the NOTE 10 PRO instead. I declined thinking the difference is only the camera. O would have enjoyed a better camera, processor and a higher refresh rate. It is not as if I can't afford it o. If not for the stress of transferring my files, I would have upgraded to the RN10 PRO.

What happened to those days when people used to panic at the sight of Policeman?

Soja sef don dey yeye you dey talk about police. Sojas wey don dey collect money from okada people hand for Tincan coconut road.
Anybody wey no give hinsef honour and prestige, dem go take am clean ground.

kachuk:
A man who sets himself up as a spiritual father over anyone in the Kingdom of God sits in a seat that belongs to God and so is against God Almighty, standing between God and His flock. Such is a crime against God Almighty.

These words you have spoken, people wey know or understand am for this country no reach 5 but it is deep truth that everyone needs to know and understand.

I like this guy. I like how he tells his story. He says it honestly from his heart.

If it was one of their nuclear plants...yeah, I'll be blaming them Mossad guys...but the Iranians said it was an accident.A leak of gas got ignited apparently.

Mossad is only concerned about any potential developments in Iran getting its own Oppenhehmer-Einsten-Fermi device.

This one be like Saudi Job. A good revenge for their refinery that was bombed by alleged Iran backed Militias.

The bolded,
Bingo!!

Can your tablet access the internet? If it does then the distraction and temptation would still be there.

Anyway its you and your God. But i just wanted to point out that bringing phones or tablets to church despite your intentions, would always leave you distracted, especially when it comes to a part of service you find boring.

I use a SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB with internet capabilities on WIFI or SIM. it has a 4g sim I seldom use. I intentionally leave it on airplane mide as I do most of my work on mobile phone. Sure, there will always be distraction. Even if I don't bring my phone or tablet I may still be just as distracted which I do. But the ushers should know that it is my distraction not theirs. What I take out from Nigerian church services is less than 10% the rest are just meaningless jamboree.

angelfallz:
Does your church use hymn apps or hymn books?
Does your church use a particular version of the Bible or different versions?

You may not use your phone to disturb or distract others, but you it could be distracting to you.

It's very easy to say that you're using your phone only phone Bible reading reading and hymns. But it would always be tempting to pull it out to check if someone has replied you on WhatsApp or to check someone's status.

The congregation I attend (you and I are the church) sell their own hymn book which to me is just a selection of some songs from those old hymn books like "sacred songs and solos" and "Redemption hymnal" (not rccgc's redemption hymnal)
I downloaded "GAC GOSPEL HYMN BOOK" and "SACRED SONGS and SOLOS" both contain 99+% of the hymns my church uses. I especially like that former very much because the songs are also in Yoruba and other languages and it has very rich content. The developers try and it is free.
The distraction is inevitable with my phone on, but with my tablet alone with me, no distractions as I always put it on AIRPLANE MODE when I am in church.

GrantIkenna:
I haven't attended church in 2 Years, i would tell the pastor say i no get cloth.
Pastor begged me to come, i did last sunday, Pastor brought me out and asked the members to sow a seed of 12 senators and an agbada.
I wan die for altar.

you never don dey sell clothes? ����

angelfallz:
Why do you take your phone to church?

It is your phone, your personal property. I take my phone to church which I may use alongside my tablet. I have my bible and hymns app on both. I primarily use the tablet for both hymns and bible reading. If the hymn called isn't in my hymn app on my table, I use my phone to search for the hymn on the Internet. I always put my tablet on AIRPLANE MODE and SILENT/DND. My phone will be on SILENT/DND mode when I am in the church. I won't use the phone to disturb or distract anyone. I don't have paper bible again for some years now when I have more than 20 different versions of bible app on my phone and tablet.

Oho! Yet you hear youths call this confraternity a social club. I laugh in the language of the Holy Ghost.

Not this confratanity. This is kindergarten stuff compared to Wole's level of spirituality. What Wole and his guys started was a social club. The foolish youths years later turned it into something demonic.
