tammie24: is Christianity the only religion in Nigeria? Are they the only ones with billions?
Why has govt not done their own part by developing the country and creating good policies to drive the economy
Why are they worried about Christians billions?
Because mosques are not so profitable, very poor. Churches have their excesses by excesses I mean a lot of excesses but the Government is already threatened by the apparent influence of the church on so many things....which makes the failure of government too obvious. John Cardinal Onaiyekan said something around late 2015 that the church takes care of the social intangibles which are actually the only thing still keeping citizens in sanity state that when government fails in the obvious aspects of nationbuilding, the church absorbs the emotional energies. Citizens find solace in activities that gives their soul peace.
The government has been showing increasing interest in church affairs. Unfortunately, for us in RCCG, it might not be very helpful,” Adeboye said.
He further accused the government of not allowing the church (RCCG) to continue with its stipulated lifetime 100 per cent salaries to its pensioners.
“For example, when I decided on what will be the pension of our pastors, what I decided is not done anywhere in the world. That somebody will retire and continue to earn full salaries all his lifetimeAccording to him, “Now there are fresh laws. We have a rough idea of what the law is about.
“Some people believe that RCCG is becoming too influential and we’re going to be more influential. When you get home, tell members to join a political party.
“Join a party and become a card-carrying member of any party. Just join any party. We shall decide issues right from the ward level.
“If you are not active at ward level, you’ll do what they plan and say at the top. Enrol in any party of your choice and have a card.
“When holding meetings at ward level to choose delegates, be there".
“One Muslim in Ibadan said years ago that he didn’t know what’s wrong with Christians; that we help them to occupy political positions and refused to capitalise on our population. That’s going to change from now,” Adeboye stated.
On the tenure of general overseers of religious bodies in the country, Pastor Adeboye disclosed that in the “new law that has been announced, they said that nobody can be overseer for more than certain number of years.
“And according to that law, people like me, Bishop David Oyedepo, Pastor W. F. Kumuyi, Bishop Mike Okonkwo were already gone.”
MY PERSPECTIVE
When Rev. Bosun Emmanuel's audio went viral, I think the rccg issued a disclaimer trying to dissociate itself from his hard facts which have now been proven to be true...but now the rccg is obviously towing a non-neutral path, because they have realised that Bosun Emmanuel is a prophet after all... Everything he said is being played out like a script.
Some elements within rccg itself, Christendom and Government (GEJ and PMB) may have been culpable in these new FRC law in order to serve different interests.
However, events Since PMB took over has revealed a clear religion bias. The deaths in Southern Kaduna and his actions and inactions is just one out of many. And like Rev. Bosun Emmanuel said in his audio, The Church in the South (West especially) is a Selfish church!
hero2000: "There is nothing like RCCG Worldwide.’’ What a shallow view! It has been said that the man who is good with the hammer see everything as a nail. The man being a lawyer assumes (wrongly) that legal existence is the only existence there is. It is like saying there is nothing like Boko Haram because it is not registered with the government!
There is clearly something called RCCG worldwide. By the way I am not a Redeemed member.
For such a case as this Legal existence is the Only existence.
An unregistered entity is NOT legal, and hence will normally face government annihilation if it's big enough and still unregistered.
The fact that bokoharam is cited makes it clearer. BH existence is engaging in anti-state objectives. Do you honestly think BH will be a business entity, registered and publicly lay claim to terrorism? Yes, it's illegal and existing but (existing as an unwanted existence).
Another example is the Controversial beliefs like Sat-Guru Marahji... It is a registered religious non-profit organization. Legally, it is an entity and it is existing. Whether it has members or not, so long the deed that established it doesn't include anti-state activities.
The man is very right, there's no such thing as rccg worldwide (at least in the books as an entity).
But you're equally right too...because the global rccg structure i.e 190 countries still see Pastor adeboye as the overall head and that is pure religion sentiments not law even though it exists.
A 3rd example is State of Biafra, it is assumedly to be agitations of some section of Nigeria to stand alone as a separate entity. Hitherto it's still illegal as far as law is concerned. Even though it's existing, it's existence is not legally recognizable. So it's non existent. Biafra may have its separate flag,anthem,coat of arms, Constitution what-have-you. But No nation or region or continent is treating Biafra has a nation yet...coz it's technically not existing even though it is existing.
Johnnyessence: so if rccg don't breakway u will be d one that will be break them baaa. You can be fooling yourself and not the people ok. In as much there's love among themselves there will no be break up ok.
Lol, youre in dire need of attention. Isn't it? Fine I'll spare some.
Firstly, breakaway doesn't mean there's no love. Okay?
Secondly, the bolded is a goof, it's not your usual political thread so you couldnt see It's not a prescription.
And It's not all thread you jump at especially if it's above your faculty, your faith or the lack of it.
You this Son of Belial, article of no-commercial value.
nwamehn: Interesting! I never knew all along. So, do u know other churches in Nigeria whose general overseers aren't the administrative heads respectively, just like BLW?
I think KICC too, pastor faseru is the Nigerian head. Since the church probably started first in Europe by Ashimolowo before he then thought his home country should have a solid administrative structure.
Plus the Catholic Church already has her internal succession plan for her bishops
Finally the Catholic Church is damn too self-respected and de-commercialised to the regulated by any aproko policy
Catholism is the oldest form of brainwashing. All churches/denominations literally started from catholism. And they took with them both the good, the bad and the ugly... Catholism has only evolved after hundreds of years that is why you are not seeing them making errors like these modern Pentecostals...They have made all these mistakes Several hundreds of years ago so they know better.
Even the religious war/Jihad war the Muslims are fighting presently, are considered small to what the Church had perpetrated hundreds of years ago. There was a time in human history where people either accept faith or be killed. So the jihadists' who are fighting holy wars are learners.
Catholic is not standard because of it's 'perfect' succession plan or what have you. But by several years of terrible mistakes, errors, internal corrections and purging...
kaeforum: Its strange that the successors aren't their children.
maybe they forsee that the business will fold up soon.
It may not necessarily fold up like that but I foresee several breakaways soon...just Let the man die and you will see so many denominations spring up from rccg. I'm not praying it folds up but trust me...it will, It happened to all ancient churches coz God is not interested in our 'unity' I mean One denomination becoming a grand brand...God is interested in our 'Scatteredness'...that's the endgame of evangelism.
Catholic→ Anglican→Methodist, Baptist...Ecwa, TAC, CAC,African, Salvation Army all experienced or will experience breakaways at different points in time.
fkdmods: People are just s.tupid. Did anyone listen to the so called speech he gave? So much brain washing everywhere. Things you can do for yourself by yourself they are begging an imaginary God for. Smh. I need to go to pastor school i swear.
Since you can do it yourself Mr Wise Fellow, kuku start ASAP. You don't need a Bible School or Pastor School...
ammyluv2002: I don't understand this GO in Nigeria and worldwide. Well, I wish the new GO in Nigeria success & God's guidance
Same here, but I think Adeboye became G.O when rccg was strictly within Nigerian shores...but the church has expanded under him as G.O to many countries while the Headquarters is Still in Nigeria.
So hypothetically he had been promoted while on the job as National to both national and International G.O and both comes with different Job descriptions but more responsibilities...
Realistically, He has only reduced his scope of work while he's still the 'Daddy G.O' as far as i'm concerned and the word 'G.O' was supposed to cover the whole entity rccg whether international, subterranean or spirit world...The term G.O has just been reduced!
And the buhari policy just got to the churches...so he probably wants to set an example for other G.Os by relinquishing the National Post. Only KICC seems a bit different.
Danjuma827: take it easy. lautech is a controversial schl because two states are claiming ownership and actually you can't serve two masters at once. That is why it is actually happening like this.
Anyways I wish Lautech students happy resumption
There's nothing wrong in two states owning a school, in fact its better than any of its peers that were established around the same period, the problem is the Nigerian attitude we reflect in most of our engagements but Education is worst hit. It has been relegated while everything has been POLITICIZED.
Odua group is owned by 6states. Wema Bank which was a Regional Bank till 2013 is owned by 6states...
The institution had been doing very fine, developing faster than her age because TWO states were financing it. Until the ones who didn't value education started becoming Governors.
Akala started it in 2009/2010...
Nigeria is morbidly sick if we continue to treat education this way.
januzajj: Ajimobi is a f**l....he is an oloriburuku He is the worst Governor my state has ever produced I hate him with passion. Students have been sitting down at home doing nothing for the past seven months and he keeps opening his mouth that is as big as camp nou stadium upandan blurting out trash
Aregbesola is culpable too. Both Governors are accomplices.
warrior01: You go ban tire na. So what happens to freedom of expression and beliefs? So Yorubas are free to aspire and promote their Odua beliefs and Hausas, Arewa but Igbos of course are to be banned to talk or aspire for their beliefs in Biafra. Highly disappointed in you Seun.
What stops you from coming up with a superior argument why they should remain in Nigeria? Why are you so scared to discuss Biafra? Must we all have the same line of thoughts or intellectual discourse? I reject being or tagged a zombie where a fellow man will dictate what I discuss.
GERALD710: Your Northerners aim to Islamise the entire nation in the name of One Nigeria. And I think you are deluding yourself, Nigerians, Christians or Muslims are obsessed with religion.It will forever be a polarising factor in Nigeria until when the ineviatble Muslim dominance takes place(Since Birth rates in the South are lower than in the North) and everyone is under Sharia Law. If Sharia law was introduced in Kaduna where Christians are 45% of the population, I presume the same will happen when Nigerian Christians are the same percentage.
Sadly alot of 'Christians' down south are still blind to see the antics. Rev Bosun Emmanuel already said the Christian in the South is Selfish, and is interested in Cathedrals and money....
I'm Yoruba and I always tell my parents that we are the only problem of Nigeria and as long as SW does not seceed We will continue to suffer in Nigeria.
Until yorubas decide to leave this fraudulent almagation called country, na to dey suffer dey go. When we join the fight to go separate ways, it will dawn on the Northern extraction and their Southern collaborators who are benefiting from the Union that it's time to let go...You can't force a union in perpetuity.
ireneony: cutehector.. we are just nairalanders, no string attached. Are you trying to say a guy n a girl cannot hangout again
Irene pls stop explaining. We all own our opinions anyways, not like it really counts for anything.
People(Nigerians especially) have a way of overdoing a point of weakness...pride, indifference, jealousy, half-witted judgements and opinions...uncivilized exposures and expressions come in diverse forms and should normally be expected from folks generally.
The pictures are nice, and the tango is alphanumerically bam!
@cutehector I'm not particularly referring to you...

After the official launch at the early of February 2017, they are gonna split the coin numbers 8 times for two years, i.e. every 3 months. So, your free 1,000 LCF coins will become 256,000 coins in two years, 1,000×2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2=256,000 This benefit does not count the market value in crease of LCF coin. 3.

If you consumed X amount of LCF coins for your purchases, and if your direct or indirect downlines consumed 25 times of X amount, then you get paid back your X amount. So, circulation is much more important than just keeping, which is one of the key elements of the LCF coin business. 5. They wanna go public, IPO on the stock market in 3~5 years, after issuing their initial stocks in one and half years. They are gonna give leaders some free shares by level of contribution before the IPO, which might be another huge benefit. 6.
