It's weird that every Pentecostal church I've ever entered always insists that sickness, poverty, death etc are "not our portion", but when tragedy befalls them, they attribute the tragedy to the will of God saying "God's ways are not our ways". If you know this, then why insist on spreading the nonsense prosperity Gospel that assures every believer that it is their manifest destiny on earth to be wealthy and healthy?

No it is not, the bone of contention is why he rather dwell on the fact Alpha Beta ownership by Tinubu n the 10% it claim it charges.

Why is he not concerned no state as performed up to 1/10 of what Alpha Beta achieved. How can a company be achieving 70% of Nigeria toatl IGR n you ignore 30 state generating abaymal 30% but want one generating 70% sacked ?

Where are you getting your 70% claim from? In the last fiscal year (2020), Lagos state generated N419b in IGR, which was 32% of the national 1.31 trillion naira generated. I have seen no metrics that show this has anything to do with the efficiency of Alpha Beta rather than the fact Lagos state has by far Nigeria's largest economy with over 50% of registered companies and Lagos state contributes about 70% of the Federal Government's tax revenue (hilariously, this would mean that FIRS is more efficient in collecting Lagos taxes than Alpha Beta are). Either way, there is no basis to claim Tinubu's company are doing it any better than the state civil service would. You've also ignored what seems to be the most troubling issue here which is the conflict of interest and ethical breach which would be unacceptable in any free democracy where the government is accountable to the people. Your apologetics here which is clearly motivated by your crude parochialism is the reason democracy as a system of accountable government is wasted on Nigerians.
