Oleys:
Christians in Nigeria are either Pentecostals or Protestants.
Protestants dominated Christendom in the beginning, most especially when the missionaries from abroad landed on our coast. Back then Methodists, Anglicans, Catholics were common among Nigerian Christian faithful .
Pentecostals broke out of Protestant churches in the 80s, made popular by late Archbishop Benson Idahosa. Since its propagation, it spreads like wildfire across the nation. Nigeria has invariably become the epicenter of Protestant churches in the world. Many notable men of God all over the world have come to Nigeria for conventions, conferences or crusades. The Pentecostal churches have grown exponentially, the world has no choice but to pay attention to its evolution.
Today, the leading Pentecostal churches are the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Living Faith Ministry (Winners Chapel of Nigeria), Deeper Life Ministry, Mountains Of Fire Ministries (MFM) and Lord Chosen Charismatic Ministry, to mention a few.
Pastor Adeboye
Enoch Adeboye is the General Overseer of RCCG, Bishop David Oyedepo is the head of Living Faith Ministry (popularly known as Winners Chapel), while W F Kumuyi is the General Superintendent of Deeper Life. D K Olukoya heads MFM and Lazarus Muoka is the Presiding Leader of the Lord Chosen Ministry.
Pastor Enoch Adeboye of RCCG commands sizable large congregants followed by Bishop Oyedepo of the Living Faith Ministry. RCCG is a mega church, has presence in 196 countries of the world with about 5 million worshippers.
Pastor W F Kumuyi
In 1973 while serving as a Mathematics lecturer at the university of Lagos, W F Kumuyi started a bible study group with 15 university students, who had come to him requesting training in the scriptures. The study group later grew with thousand members. Kumuyi then a member of Apostolic Faith Church, was expelled from the church for preaching without credentials.
This study group grew to become Deeper Life Bible Church. It recently upgraded it’s headquarters in Gbagada, with state of the art facilities. The church has spread throughout African countries, then to the rest of the world in Europe, Asia, India and North America.
Dr. D K Olukoya
MFM was founded by Daniel Kolawole Olukoya at a prayer meeting in his living room in 1989. As the members continue to increase, this prayer group purchased a large site at an abandoned slum near the University of Lagos and converted it into visitors’ destination housing the international headquarters of MFM
Dr. Olukoya, an ardent football fan, established a football club that has gone professional. The club is in division one of Nigeria’s professional football league.
At the camp along Lagos Ibadan expressway it hosts a licensed University.
These are common denominators among Pastors Adeboye, Kumuyi and Olukoya:
1. They are Yoruba
These three men of God are Yoruba, one of the major ethnic tribes located in the southwest part of Nigeria. Both Adeboye and Kumuyi are Ijesha from Osun state while Odukoya is from neighboring Ondo state. Adeboye was born in Ifewara, Kumuyi in Erin Ijesa while Olukoya was born in Akure.
2. They are first class brains
Adeboye graduated from University of Nigeria Nsukka with first class honors in Mathematics, Kumuyi also had first class in Mathematics from University of Ibadan. Dr Olukoya graduated with first class in Microbiology from University of Lagos and proceeded on a scholarship to the University of Reading for his Doctorate degree in molecular genetics.
3. Their Worship Camps are located along Lagos Ibadan Expressway
Lagos Ibadan expressway has become an international link road known all over the world, just because of the religious activities of these great men of God. The three churches have sprawling camps along this ever busy road that links Lagos the commercial city of Nigeria to other parts of the country
RCCG is adjudged to be one of the largest Christian dominated estates in the world!
MFM and Deeper life Ministry have swathe expanse of lands along this link road.
4. They are home grown churches known internationally
Protestants churches originated abroad and were domiciled in Nigeria. Reverse is the case with many Pentecostal churches. The churches controlled by these men were founded locally, home grown, then spread all over the world.
RCCG was founded in 1952 by Rev Josiah Akindayomi, Adeboye succeeded him as the head in 1980, after the glorious transition of Akindayomi.
Under Adeboye’s tutelage, the church had grown exponentially spreading all over the world.
5. They had association with the University of Lagos (Unilag)
University of Lagos has shaped the lives of these men and prepared them for the future. The foremost university has contributed positively to their lives. Olukoya had his first degree from Unilag while Adeboye and Kumuyi were lecturers at the department of Mathematics. According to Adeboye in his memoirs, his aspiration was to become the youngest Vice Chancellor of a University in Africa. God had better plans for him, he has become one of the few men that had shaped his world beyond his dreams and expectations. Time magazine once rated him among the most 100 influential men of the century
6. They are scientists
We know scientists are those who study expertise in science. Science tries to understand how our world or other things work by observing, researching, and finding answers to many questions others may not know about.
They are meant to question God’s existence. But by divine fate, they had to use their knowledge of science to edify Him and proclaim His greatness and goodness.
Adeboye and Kumuyi are mathematicians while Olukoya is a trained microbiologist.

As a human, you are facing the usual challenges...Your ability to conquer it,is the big win for you.
Good you are breaking away from the setback of working like elephant and eating peanuts.
Be focused with the barbing skill and make sure you pursue your masters as well.
Achieve the two, and 5yrs after now will be a story you will tell and laugh at the days of serious challenges.
Set targets for yourself..And follow the pattern with all passion and zeal.
Also, check other little things you can do to make cash no matter how small within your environments..Is their something they lack, you can buy from other places and resell, no matter how small the gain u make...Every 10naira counts.
Challenge yourself bro..13k a month is extremely poverty to be honest.

Had a friend who use to tell me about Niger state, that if you don't work as a teacher, civil servant or work in a bank there aren't many prospects opportunites. That's the reality here, bro. The state should have been the hub of industrialization considering relatively large landmass we have. The political leaders haven't helped either, they are team players to this menace which has led to insecurities in the state which was known as the most peaceful state some years ago |

Nawa o.
Now lets start from, aside teaching what do you have passion for?
What grade are you using to teach?
What are your plans from now till 5years time?. Brother, my dream has always been to be a lecturer, most especially in my field of study. While in school, there was this innermost joy I usually derive when I tutor students and they grasp my explanations. I was moderately good in my course, I was among the top five best students in my class. So, my passion has always been to help people out academically either it comes with momentary benefit or not, while I was in school. It was that passion that made me delve into teaching not knowing its something totally different in contemporary Nigeria. I'm teaching with M.Sc. in Political Science (Second Class Upper Division) By next year, I don't want to have anything to do with teaching job again. If I'm to remain on it, I just need something to augment it. Early this year, I nearly secured a lecturing job in one of the newly established private uni. but I missed it because I was not having a Msc. cert. So, I decided to apply for Msc program in IBB uni here in Niger and I was given admission. Unfortunately, they increased the fee astronomically which I could not afford. I immediately applied BUK and I was given also. Currently, screening has begun, I'm still struggling to raise money for it. This is because for the past two months we havnt been paid. In the next five years, I see myself securing a better job in the academic sector after obtaining my MSc. Certificate and also owning a world class barbing saloon shop if I succeed in perfecting my barbing skill which I started acquiring and stopped 3 years ago. |
