Christianity used to have a God that fought his battles, why do we need an Afolabi to remind us or some other influential christians?

The reason why the church grew larger than life was because Nigeria released a generation of unintelligent folks who patronised those warehouses, the same unintelligence that stopped Afolabi from challenging that law in court in 2011 when we had a christian President.

The bible made it clear that only levites are authorised to feed from Tithe and these levites must not inherit the church, so what is wrong with the law?

In the UK you have no right to invest church donations unlike here yet the likes of Afolabi saw nothing wrong with that.

In Germany, the govt collect church tax unlike here yet the Almighty Jehovah didn't fall from heaven, simple rotational church leadership is giving you heart attack, seems like our law makers understand the bible better than the so called god of men.

Not to worry, choppings is over!! go get a proper tax paying job.

hakeem4shi:
And I just have a question for you to answer, when was this law passed into law and under whose administration was the law enacted? I think your answer will go a long way in reducing bigotry and find out critical points before you type nor comment.


Before you comment on this thread answer this question

1. which Muslim leader will be affected by this law with the exception of Elzakzaky which the government of Sheik Buhari wants to destroy


2. When did Buhari become the Holy spirit who decides who should lead the church and for how long

3. Does this laws strips Christians of the opportunity to determine how they wish to be led

4. How many imams will yield to any law of succession in their mosques contrary to Qur'anic prescriptions


When I told people that Osinbajo is useless when it comes to protecting the church and defending the its rights many did not believe , Southern Kaduna Christians who were massacred over 800 of them in one night is a clear example

May God intervene in Nigeria In Jesus Name

I wanted to engage you in an intellectual discuss but having gone through your posts it's obvious you are too young to understand. Next time learn to be civil in your comments in a public place, if you quote me again with an insult I might be forced to condescend to your level.

Rotational leadership is it against the tenets of christianity?

I have nothing against government taxing religious organizations and neither am I a pastor nor one of those gullible religious followers.

My concerns are for those who placed their trusts in fake religious leaders whose major interests are the extravagant life styles and positions attached to their offices.

However it is dangerous for a secular society like ours to allow either by commission or omission her laws to be stylishly and deceptively aligned majorly to Islamic religion/agenda either sharia, paedophilia, symbols, Kaduna state religious law e.t.c

And I hope you are also aware the sultan of sokoto kicked against gender equality bill but quick to support grazing bill and any other that'll push their agenda. So when some southerners think they are intelligent by supporting certain decisions of government they failed to realise they are mostly foolish by not realising the underbelly moves of certain decisions/actions which are inimical to southern Nigeria.

All I am interested in is a fair and just Nigeria for all and if that is not possible then will it not be sensible to explore true federalism / regionalism or allow those who are willing to opt out of this contraption to do the needful

But I hope christian leaders will get their acts together for a common cause devoid of selfishness.

My submission does not mean what you're asking...
my concern is while others are obedient to national laws, others are trying really hard not to as a result of their beliefs. Such is a challenge on the sovereignty of Nigeria if not properly checked.

Mind you, the issue was challenged in court. The outcome was accepted by all despite their discomforts. People can argue that they were called by God according to his word, therefore should not be asked to step aside from leading their flock given to them by God.
I hope you understand my angle....

When was the law establishing the FRCN passed?

The problem with people like you and the author of this trash is crass ignorance born out of hatred for the president. Buhari has nothing to to with the law that stipulates that leaders of registered NGO's cannot lead the organisation for more than 20 years, the law was passed before he became president.

When Soludo was CBN governor, he pushed for a similar legislation that prohibits managing directors of banks from staying in office for more than 10 years. It is not a big deal or targeted at any religion like myopic minds like you guys want us to believe.

2dugged:
you made a good point, but you ended up showing your biased nature with the bolded, I was expecting you to say religious bodies, with mosques and traditional societies included, except you belong to those class of critics who find it easier to pick on Christians because they know thier fate should they use the same momentum of criticism on Muslims

progress69:


U are blessing a post marred with extreme stupidity. First the law was passed since the last adminstration, churches took the body to court and lost out. Now what is the business of Buhari in this matter? It sounds extremely foolish to even mention Buhari's name in this. Is Buhari even a law maker? This law have been passed for over 3 years, but highly ignorant yoots like u will rather share false hood.

PHIPEX:
To imagine that someone with this load of venom in the name of insult is actually supposed to be defending the men of God shows the failure of the religious and the educational system, what have you learnt from them? Read your comment again and see if it makes sense to you?

princejayboss:



Ho your research well before showing your act of stupidity.... The law which swept under the carpet as it was taken to court after resistance from GEJ was simply revisted and was implemented by this FG on October 2016

Furthermore, am not as ignorant as you are considering that you own TV, Radio , Google etc but you don't listen to them.

Finally get a life, stay out of my comments... Its not your right to respond to it

progress69:



Hahahahaha..heaveb knows i don't have time for deliberate plebs

olasmith10:



Good observation ma, saying I was oblivious of that fact means am not been honest.. I actually hammered more on churches because of the indexes we see day in day out compared to other religious bodies.
Am a Christian, schooled and lived among Muslims, but I feel bitter with d approach of the Christian faith towards the warefare of her members!!!

2dugged:
and let me guess other
religious bodies are more benevolent to their members?

olasmith10:



Yes!!!

Although its not an appropriate example to draw a comparative study owing to the fact that the volume of followers of one is almost the volume of the other faiths combined together..

All I know is that, the Christian faith needs to take the ware fare of members to the next level!!!

Corrinthians:
You didnt look closely. It is written by Wole Soyinka.

Mtscheeew. Who doesnt know ipob zombies mode of operation. The source says it all. Go to thebreakingtimes which is one of the mosy renown ipob propaganda sites, 99% of the names of their writers are Yoruba names!

Afolabi ni, afonja ko.

2dugged:
can you please tell me how other religious bodies have done that?,point out examples

ayindejimmy:


They ain't business?!

What your definition of what is business?

Churches make profits - that's business

olasmith10:



My example will be based on the micro level, as that was the basis of my argument.. Fortunately for me, I have experienced Islam and Christianity so I feel I have an idea of both ends


The Islamic community I found myself in sometimes in the 90s made it mandatory to provide help for her members, help with the schools fees of some wards and sundry others

Later on, the only tin I get to hear in churches is pay this, pay that, if u love Jesus, come and drop so so so money... There was one church I attended and probably like 30 mins to the end, a visiting pastor mounted the alter and in their usual so called spiritual prophetic fashion, he told the average earning congregation to help the ministry of God move foward by pledging #100,000.. I was shocked.. He went further by saying God had revealed it to him that there is a gigantic miracle awaiting such fellow..DAT day, I counted close to 6 members..dats 600,000 in just 15 mins..funnily or lemme say cunningly, the 100k call later came down to 500 naira!!!!!

Can u beat that?

2dugged:
and you think churches don't pay school fees and or help thier members?, let's start from the 90s as you said, back then there used to be a special donation for evangelists in the field, comprising of clothes, food items and clothes, although few churches still do it, also I know a church that sponsored three orphans up to university level, they were three brothers, also I know some widows whose children have been helped by the church to learn a trade and even get jobs, so my friend I don't know how many churches you have attended but stop saying things you know nothing about, yes i will agree that these days this things I mentioned are being practiced by few,but going to the 90s to say that the church wasn't up and doing as at then is just a case of giving a dog a bad name, which is why I will ask again, how many churches did you attend in the 90s, and don't think the church will come and start announcing that thay just paid the school fees of this member's child, except you are privileged to be in such a congregation

olasmith10:



U see why I said this comparison isn't commensurate..

U have made a very valid point ma..let's us anchor our hope on the lord Jesus Christ.. Please have a good day!!!
