I am a die hard supporter of Peter Obi but he will never be the president of Nigeria again. Heaven can't trust him, there are boundaries. May we not see problem that defies all Solutions, the church will become a refuge
Now, using this tripe you just spewed,

Go to any petrol station closest you and demand for fuel at #65/liter.

Peter just messed up.
There was no vigil he didn't attend during the last election crying and praying. Now night vigil is his problem. God looks at the heart, this is why he lost the election. Kamala's family that denied God during her campaign and lost her election even lost 11M votes of the blue party.
See the way Trump has been acknowledging God everywhere and the American church stood by him.

Peter will hear from us in 2027.
Have you even eaten today?

Do you even have light?

Can you travel to your village and arrive unscathed?

To hell with you and your religion.

If Peter Obi never rules this country, him and to his 10th generation will live fine and happy.

I cant say the same of you.

Nincompoop

Please do vigil everyday if you can. After all, did they keep job for you if you stop doing vigil.

And those saying Christianity is scam, why are several developed countries having many Christians. Shebi dey do Christmas in December, to celebrate who? Jesus Christ Birth.

Why America never drop Christianity if na scam? You wey probably feel say you get sense pass others, wetin you and your gods don produce? You wey probably no believe in religion at all, what value have you added to your community?

Please do your Christianity to your satisfaction, pleasing God. Nigeria's problem is bad government, not Christianity. Abi na Christianity increase fuel?

If you want churches to build industries, let government give the churches money to build. You should not expect people to steal the nation's money, while the church does what the government should do. The church can do their part, but they are not the government.
If you did due investigation, you won't be asking these questions. Religion has never developed a country. Any religion claiming that is simply kidding themselves. Western nations are known as industrialists. Religion is all about personal belief. The issue with Nigeria's own is we drag our religious beliefs into everything and try to make everything a spiritual battle. There is nothing wrong in having a belief, but don't try and force others into it. The other thing is that we Africans have great issues in calling a spade a spade. If we defended our brothers, sisters, parents, and spouses the way we defend the so-called pastors when they are caught pants down, we wouldn't be having problems with our loved ones.

It's good he came out to speak.at least we now know he is an enemy of the people.
Any pastor that want his members to prioritize church activities to been productive, is a scam and enemy to humanity
But when Peter Obi was jumping from church to church, Pastors weren't his enemies.

You animals called Obidients will see shege

Re: Emmanuel Iren Condemns Peter Obi's Comment About Christians Going To Night Vigil by cevek11: 5:44pm On Nov 11, 2024
You may want to watch Obi's interview again... Night vigil (ie pray) without work, is the issue.

I plant but how it grows I don't know... That is the 'work'/night shirt missing in people that God needs to bless them.



ogascomax:
People are trying to defend what he said. I don't buy that. This was a man that was moving from one church to another before the election even at night.
Secondly, he makes it look as if the night vigil was the cause of Nigeria problem. I am sure the reason he said that was perhaps Nigerians should be fighting the government instead of that they are spending time to be praying rather than taking the country for themselves.
When protesters were jailed for months, tell me what Obi and Atiku did. See something here, Atiku, Obi and the rest people that the election never favoured should be the once leading protest in Nigeria if they were actually serious and meant well for Nigeria. That was what opposition did before the 2015 election. Making reference to the church was completely nonsense talk because the percentages of churches that engaged in such a practice are not even up to 1.5 percent of the general churches around.
Obi problem is trying to impress people by dropping some punchline. What he said, to me was worrisome and most people defending that rhetorics are his people the Igbos who they themselves are beginning to abandoned Christianity, so why should I take their defence very serious and some talk BS over that as though church is their problem.
Lastly, it should be known that religion is not the greatest problem but those who have used it for their advantages. The top 7 religious country in the world are better than Nigeria.

Pastor Emmanuel Iren responds to Peter Obi’s comments about Christians going to night vigil everyday.
There is serious need to regulate religion in Nigeria. Serious cun men. See how they told you all that if u don't pay tithe, you won't go to heaven, until Abel damina started calling them out. The ones with conscience like Adeboye came out to speak the truth. Why the mideaval priest in PH is calling him a rat.

Only pastors will disagree with what Peter Obi said because they're cun men. Time meant for productivity will be used to sell hope to the poor and they keep believing.

Your pastor tells you to avoid worldly things yet he is building mega structures while you. Your mansion is in heaven

China are moving mad in terms of IT and industrialization and science. We are still here saying the god of my pastor.

The bible said my people perish for lack of foresight!
Will it not improve church offerings and contributions if atleast 70-80% of those wasting 'economic hours' from Monday to Friday in a church were actually working in an industry?

The interesting part is that Obi wasn't even the first to say this as several pastors had also made similar submissions in their sermon before then but some gullible pastors foolishly thinking it may affect their business church are currently wailing!

So happy Obi didn't bother to explain this time around!
Those gullible christians who want to be deceived are free to keep attacking Obi!

Hilariously,the same christians will go to the same night vigil with their international passports raised praying to travel and work in a country where there are far less vigils and more industries! Amazing clowns😂😂

Ignorance

Developed Contries service is 2hrs max and they are all back to work

It's only in this struggling economy part of the world that you will see able men in church from 8am -10pm on sunday.....how will such person be productive at work (on Monday) the next day.

In my days on campus, campus fellowship pastors failed woefully cos while they were busy organising vigil, other were busy reading, studying and organising tutorials .


God cannot be mocked, what you sow, you will reap.

Hey Pastor I love your teachings but on this I hate what you said...

You pastors have lambasted Obi for his actually truthful comments but have said absolutely nothing on

Muslim Muslim Ticket
Ineptitude of the Nigerian Government
Corrupt Government officials who are members of your church
Injustices of the Nigerian justice system and courts..

Stop with your hypocrisy. Obi said the truth irrespective of how it hurts the church, Truth is Truth
I dislike when you use the term "The Church" tseems to put Christians in one bucket with Penterascals

In the UK, football fanatics are obsessed with anything football. They go to the stadium every matchday and even canonize the football club they support, yet people don't blame them. It is wrong to chastise people for what they believe in.
Football is entertainment. Religion is waste of time and energy.

vigil is good as spiritual exercise but it will not create jobs nor develop the country or economy.

u can attend vigils and be in poverty.

If u like condemn Peter Obi without proper context.
You can also attend vigil and be in riches. Poverty is more palpable in the Northern part our country where Christians are the minority, so you can't say night vigil is the cause there since we have more of the other religion. Therefore you can't blame our problems on doing night vigil.
We have other religions that pray too, Let him be Bold enough to say what is in his mind, instead of attacking Christians only

Is it the same way they practice it over there.
Again, Christianity is fast declining over there.
Christianity has been existing there, centuries before it was introduced to Nigeria but the interest over there has drastically reduced.
