Putting this story out there is in no attempt to embarrass anyone or any church. As i always walk a very careful lane when reporting issues regarding the church. I have barely laid the facts as I remembered them.

The bible tells the story of how Lucifer rebelled in God's own perfect territory and was cast out with his entire team. So if rebellion and secession can happen in Heaven then it surely can happen in church. Therefore let no atheists nor unbeliever jump on this as reason to villify or misrepresent the church.

In my honest opinion. Since pastors claim the church belongs to it's members.

Nigerian churches should be registered as Public Limited Companies (PLC)
Listed on the stock exchange so it's members can benefit through stocks and dividends.

Churches should be taxed too.

codemaniacs:
Its about bringing wealth into the Yoruba nation and spreading around the Yoruba nation... same way non-indigenes come into Yoruba nation and spread wealth back into their villages from the Yoruba nations wealth..



they are not "Nigerian churches"... they are "Yoruba churches" and they bring wealth into the Yoruba nation... any Yoruba person that supports the taxation of churches has a mental problem and is anti-yoruba...

same way Ijaws are fighting Nigeria for control of their own oil wealth is the same way the Yorubas will defend their own churches...

The church is Christ bride but it is not perfect, but it is still Christ bride nonetheless. Issue like this are common in Christianity, even from the early days. It then takes wisdom and maturity to handle this challenges as they come.

I do not agree with Adjeman but I kind of understand him. I know in his heart he regards the church leadership and even respects Oyedepo. But somewhere there he feels he is being cheated and that would be where he might have erred. The prosperity character of a church like winners chapel flows from the top and trickles down. Whether the church is in somalia or ogbomoso it would prosper. I'm sure the Ghanian church was even astounded that they could contribute a whole $60,000 a month(back in 2004). Adjeman should have just learnt the principle and left. Men like Enenche, Adeyemi, Poju and Ibeyiomie started under Oyedepo and today have equally financially strong ministries irrespective of poor economy.

The living faith church is such a wealthy church. I'm not sure but I remember reading somewhere that Winners UK either makes or remit about £5 million to Nigerian HQ. UK doesn't like it but there is nothing they can do about it without angering people of African descent living in UK and attending these churches. This kind of church must protect its successional path. When there is so much money in a church people would kill to get to the top.

I heard this story first hand from a Nigerian who was worshipping with Winners in Ghana. I may not agree with the modus operandi of Nigerian pastors but the Ghanian pastor is a thief. You don't take what does not belong to you.
