₦airaland Forum

HigherEd:
I'm back from Church, and I find myself laughing as people on nairaland are claiming that I am a PR person for Bishop Oyedepo and expect I would soon be back with a rebuttal. I wasn't intending any rebuttal before, as I am not a PR person for the living faith church. But I would do this in defense of the gospel because a non credible attack against one of Nigeria's most credible churches is unacceptable.

I think many of us generally get carried away with headlines and forget the substance of an article before rushing to comment.

I have gone through the entire article and I haven't seen anything indicting of the Oyedepo family. But I would address four observations from the article itself and from the surrounding comments.

Why Should Oyedepo Or Living Faith Avoid Taxes By Setting Up Offshore Accounts Giving The Bible Verse "Give Unto Ceasar What Is Unto Ceasar"?

1) For all the businesses the living faith church operates in Nigeria pays taxes to the Nigerian government. This includes the publishing business, and the other taxable constituent businesses around the universities which includes the microfinance banks, water and beverage factories, farms etc.

2) There are over 200 nations on earth eligible to receive taxes. So British Islands is also 'ceasar'. Every nation has the responsibility to make themselves tax attractive to welcome foreign investment and Oyedepo and his family are just as eligible as anyone else to search for better priced tax opportunities for their personal or ministry benefit.

Is Living Faith Investment Carriage A Secret?


Inside the Mantle book and under the finance section of the living faith church details to great extent the administrative procedure for the church, it is well cited that the living faith church can maintain asset management to protect the church's income. Or did you expect the church to warehouse millions of dollars with banks who would live large on the proceeds and expose the hard earned income of worshippers to inflation even before the church uses it?

Are Oyedepo's Universities The Most Expensive In Nigeria As Claimed By The Article?

We all know this to be untrue. The Living Faith university system runs one of the most pocket friendly private universities in Nigeria when comapred to secular varsities of equal standing. There's nothing unusual about the price of Living faith schools.

I suspect that the addition of this claim was just to make Oyedepo look further bad and horrible.

Does Living Faith Maintain Four Jets?


This is another claim that has been debunked several times by Leke Beecroft of Church gist and many others who cared to explain.
The living faith church has used four to five planes in the past to convey its church leadership. It regularly sells her older planes to buy new ones. Currently, the church uses more of its helicopter to shuffle the church leadership and that of the RCCG around the country. While deemphasizing on the use of the private jet.

However, the article presented it as though the living faith church maintains an active fleet of four jets on standby in a futile attempt to further make the church appear greedy and evil.

God bless you and cause you to shine always.
Nice one. Well spoken

Good evening nairalanders!

This is what happened. A friend of mine who is like a brother to me and has impacted my life positively in every way bought a new car. We work together and live in the same neighborhood so we go-to work together.

It happens that I do sit in front with him always while the third guy stays at the back. So today, on our way back from work, the wife called for him to come pick her and when we got close and stuck in traffic, I decided to vacate the front seat and move to join the other guy at the back but while trying to go my friend was like guy where u dey go... I say I wan create space for Iyawo and he was like Wetin dey worry u, sit down jor but I insisted and went to the back.

So when we beat the traffic and picked up the wife she was like why is the front seat vacant and my friend said... He left the seat for u... The wife was like, please its wrong, that I shouldn't have left.

I was like its your space and I felt it was the right thing to do, to join my other guy at the back before we get to you.

People was I wrong to have vacated the seat?

You would have waited till you pick her before moving to the back

Good day Niralanders,

I need your sincere advice on my present situation.
Please ignore any grammatical error or punctuation. I’m the first son of my family, my father is an average Nigerian trader, he single handedly sponsored my schooling from nursery to higher institution.

After my service year, one of his friends scammed him of 300k in the name of they will get me a job in NUPENG before he paid that money I told him my pastor’s revelation about the NUPENG job, which my pastor said She does not like the job and shared ill references associated to the job with me and I told my dad when I got home, he countered and rebuked the revelation, he doesn’t take any of our advice, he finally fell for the scam.

To cut the long story short, I’m now working class that earn 75k monthly, however I’m still squatting with a friend and I’m still struggling to survive.

Recently I received a call from my dad, he told me he needs 500k for trading, that he wants me to take loan on his behalf he will be paying the debt once it’s due, since he is yet to complete the outstanding loan he took from the same bank, which is remaining 3 months to complete. I later discovered he had another debt he’s still servicing (Paying ) of a different bank that is remaining 6 months to complete.
After pondering over it i asked him; what if he defaults what will happen ? he shunned me and said why will I be negative and I politely told him my mind that I cannot help the current issue. Since then he started reporting me to my mum relatives to talk to in order to accept and collect the loan of 500k on his behalf.

Please your advise on this will be helpful.
Thank you.

Let your dad know that your organization has given an instruction to all staff to henceforth desist from taking any loan, no matter how small or face the full wrath of the employer

I won't even buy this for 1.4 million, this car has seen life in naija. Haba una get conscience so?

Boss, with all due respect, this car is not as neat as u say, can u see the body needs work? The price is high sir. Please reduce the price, a lot of work will be done on the car to get it to standard, at least 350k.

obidevine:
For all you doubters

Oga stop deceiving people this is a 280c not an SL model which are totally different. This car is no more than 12,000 dollars if next to brand new. Cheers

Good write up. Well received. Compared to one public figure spewing rubbish about leaving the bossoms for the babies. This is a more experienced person talking. Over to you ladies...

[quote author=Choicecarsng post=97115767][/quote]Fine car, but truthfully nothing like distress sales in that price o

Dreal1247:
This is a very very grevious case. Just imagine the respect which Abba Kyari commands in the Nigerian police force. This is destroying further the battered image of this very country.

Not just respect in the police force but the whole country. It is well. Nigeria on the limelights again for the wrong things. This is what makes it difficult traveling out. These people be dragging the country in the gutter.

Kobicove:
People will just be lying anyhow...

How did she know they were Fulani boys?

What a comment. Thank God the person was rescued, u are talking about who is lying or where they are from. We are the enemy of ourselves in this nation.

Car is already registered and u calling it tokunbo? Change the topic sir. Thanks

martolux:
That's exactly what you'll be fed with if you fail to find time to study the word of God.... By the way, did he paint his lips?

Governor Ayade gifts Toyota Land Cruiser SUVs to Cross River Reps members who defected to APC
Cross River State Governor, Ben Ayade, has presented 3 Toyota Land Cruiser SUVs to Cross River National Assembly members in the APC.

Gov Ayade, through his Chief of Staff, Hon Martin Orim made the car presentation to the NASS members at the Cross River State Liaison Office, Abuja on Monday, July 19.

Beneficiaries of the gift included Rt. Hon. Legor Idagbo representing Obudu, Bekwarra & Obanliku federal constituency, Rt. Hon Mike Etaba, representing Obubra/ Etung federal constituency and Rt. Hon. Alex Egbona, representing Abi/Yakurr federal constituency.

Idagbo and 30, 000 of his supporters followed the footsteps of the Governor and dumped PDP for APC last month. Mike Etaba defected in May while Egbonna is the only elected member of APC from Cross River state.

According to Ayade, the gift was in appreciation of the members' loyalty to his leadership and the APC.

He reiterated that the car gift was to help facilitate their movement in the course of representing the people.

Ayade said the Cross River APC reps members understood the imperative of socketing the state to center, describing them as dependable allies.

Responding on behalf of the reps members, Rt. Hon Legor Idagbo said the loyalty of the members would remain with Gov. Ayade.

Please where was this financed from? Personal or public funds, I know it is the latter. Making the rich richer at the expense of the defenseless poor and meager salaries paid to the masses. God will judge you all and restore sanity to Nigeria.

Lovely ride. Love to buy something like this soon.

Tatiana4u:
Compared to the massive looting,corruption,nepotism and killings going on in this evil government,what did GEJ steal,how was he corrupt and how was he a criminal?
Shebi Buhari is a saint...according to you?
Anyway,I'm so glad that people like you who voted and supported Buhari against Jonathan are also enjoying the 'fruits of their labour'!

Nice one. On point and professional. God bless you sir.

blinking001:
God forbid, Malami is a no nonsense man that can never be associated with criminals like Jonathan.
As we all know, Jonathan is a thief and the most corrupt president to ever grace Aso Rock. I'm glad Malami has dissociated himself from that fraud called Jonathan.

See kettle when they call pot black. SMH

Guys I need your help here, me and my gal have been together for 6 yrs now, I was convinced that she's the one for me, so I decided to engage her late last year, at least to show that her position in my life is not taken for granted , we have really been through hell for each other even when there was nothing she was there for me, but thank God today I'm working now.

Now for the past 2 yrs, It looks as if I have been struggling to keep her, cos we have been cohabiting since I came back from nysc. Since I came back over two yrs now she has been mishaving , she locks her phone constantly, something she never did before, even if its opened the apps are lock only her can open it, if complain abt that she will respond like why will I touch her phone, asking me who does that, to touch a woman's phone even to go to social media, and she has being subjecting me to that because I don't trust her, when we are about to sleep she put her phone on flight mode, and put it under her pillow and put her head on top. Her phone is constantly on silent mode during day time so if it rings she will determind whom to pick so I won't hear and know. We can't watch movie together as partners perhaps she afraid of who will call next ,because she knows I will give her hit.

If I manage to pick up her call she will be shivering,
We have had alot of issues because of her giving in to distractions , I'm tired of talking , I don beat her tire my hand don bend. I have told her if u don't want me again and you have seen somewhere better , open up and tell me instead of cheating that will be honorable thing to do. I don tire for this gal, if I drive her away she has no where to go. The school she's going I'm the one supporting her, her family is not giving her enough support because the don't believing in education all the know is business, and I'm the only one bearing her load and i'm not doing that because i want to marry her, i'm doing it because she needs help and she is my lover.
She doesn't want to loose me because we have really suffered together so she want to keep me as potential husband and still be playing games outside , what crime did I do to go for service so I can come back and make life better for us, cos that was when she got spoilt. I deflowered her and thats not how I left her.

I have resolved chasing her away, right now I'm in offshore , I never trusted her while I was on land is it now that I'm offshore I will trust her?

Run for ur dear life or stay and face d consequence of multiple partnees

It is well

I noticed this as early as last year when three different guys were stabbed to death by their lovers

It should even be passed as a bill in the house. Death sentence for Cheats. It will bring sanity to the nation.

Fine car. But ur price is more than the cost of a new vehicle of same brand. Tx.

There are many cars and there is a CAR. This is a CAR
