dwas: It actually grief my soul when some people black mail good things. Im not a member of redeemed church, but i've heard the G.o says the school was primarily setup for full time pastor children whose 3 children from each pastor is entitled to scholarship from primary to tertiary institution.

About the Tithe.

Where do you think the running of the church administrative expenses come from? Full time pastors in redeemed have the best pay structure than any other church in nigeria, even far better than Nigerian structure. If you retire as a full time pastor, you are entitled to your gratuity, your pension start immediately which include all allowances i.e a full package as though you are still at work till you die. Even at death, your wife will continue to be paid your pension till she die. tell me if comapny in nigeria runs such structure.

Workers in the church, especially those in the camp have free accomodation. Anyway you can satisfy human being, even when Jesus laid down his life for all for the love He has for us, we still crucify him.

papatosibe: Thank God there is "chinko" around to supervise all these dumb home based Nigerians.

dare2think: Ummm! Dude you already act like a mugu, albeit an arrogant one.

stagger: Where you go and whether or not you believe that they exist or not depends on you. No human being can convince anyone that they exist. There are people that have been preached to all their lives and they never accepted Christ or believed in a heaven or hell. I have seen a core Marxist who never believed in heaven or hell for almost 50 years despite countless preachings he had heard until he had a near death experience.

So it is a matter of personal conviction. It is you who has to make the decision.

2good: If people like you will go to the Christian heaven, then almost the whole world population will be there.

stagger: You always have something silly to say. Tomorrow you will say it was Stagger that said it. I am too busy today to even attend to anything you have to say, because you always talk babash!

stagger: That does not stop me from telling a man who is supposed to have brains but acting like a retard that he is one. Some of you think that being a born again Christian requires the person to recoil into his shell and act like a mugu. Sorry, you don jam rock!

Timileyin: I pity this man and is story. You A̶̲̥̅®ε̲̣̣̣̥ just moving towards the part of destruction, A̶̲̥̅®ε̲̣̣̣̥ you really a christain or just a sunday church goer. You better close this story and go down on your kneels and re seTtle with God. The devil is using you and you A̶̲̥̅®ε̲̣̣̣̥ finding excuses and people to blame for it. Go and read about job, he loosed more than you did and God restored his happiness.

ikechemez: Gigantic brewery indeed,naija drinking for life.
come to think of it.An average Drinker takes min. of 2 bottles daily which cost 400naira
400by 365days=146,000.yearly
146,000by 15 active drinking years translate to=over 2mill
naija tink am very well
must you drink, if yes chak water.

babapupa: You are yet to tell me what the picture is doing in the thread regardless of what you termed sarcasm?

Is Oga Fash is black about Rice too?

Of what use are hidden posts to me and non mods? Do you hid them for your own personal consumption? Don't you have to do wrong before apologizing for any wrong doing? Why apologize for other people's skewed perceptions.

I have to agree with and support everything on NL to escape your ban? Sorry, I'm not a coward and I don't role like that, I meant and stand by my comments and I'm not apologizing.

Like I said, keep the ban forever if you like and if it makes you chew gum faster, it's your choice.

This is really pointless, I'm done.

2good: Are you not suppose to be a born again Christian?

stagger: What makes this imbecilic post any different from when the police arrest innocent people, shoot them, then put guns beside them and brand them as robbers in front of the press cameras?

NO INVESTIGATION, NOTHING. You just come to a conclusion based on your already biased sentiment and that is it. CRAZY!

oluwanoni: I went to CU, am proud tho; but u were not forced, abi leave d skl, Na wa O, Yes I do agree going 2 such skls can be very challenging, You can say that students from dere ar d worst type available both immoral n e.t.c I agree on dat, you change any person, they hv being dat way b4 addmission 2 d skl, like I said its challenging but I belive with dedication n hardwork without too much fuss over rules u would overcome! Am out aint I, n I hv d freedom 2 do what I wish (its just 4/5)yrs if even up 2 dat.
N for those analyzing church funds, how does one expect a ministry with over 100branches perform, with 20naira abi, or without a private jet to travel around n oversea other officials, n besides God does not force pple to pay tithe, the bible say u give without doubt, sum still hv while giving.

kooto: I think this is more of a stolen/sold child,in a public place like a church/mosque any body can come in in the pretext of coming for worship, look for lapses and steal a child ,or an insider sold the girl to a buyer or a compensation to a relative living faraway(from experience not every body in the church or mosque are children of God; including workers ) particularly in a place with too many worshippers and children. I pray God will find the child and return her to her parents in peace.

stagger: What stopped the police from interrogating the church workers? Do they live in the church? Don't they have addresses?

Frendys: Your intention is wrong and short sighted. If at this stage of your life you have become articulate at undermining your institution openly then you will never see good in anyone or anything else. You are doomed because you have no sense of gratitude and value. Public institutions are no different or better.
You may come to realize later in life that the moral the institution wants you to imbibe will be a bonus to your life. Two of my family members who graduated from CU are highly placed in the US and Britain respectively and they value the foundation of Christian moral they received while in CU. And they are godly. No doubt every institution has its drawback.
The other OP “Muskeeto” that ‘knows all’ about his church’s finances, I only have pity for you. You can’t break the Church of Jesus Christ…you will be broken instead.
Please realize that the money for developing and maintaining the school comes from the tithes, donations and offerings of the church members and not from the federal government purse!
Every great institution has a humble beginning: A wise son will make his father proud.

purpose100: rhymz:

“I saw my wife around the vicinity of the Children’s section, she was crying. She told me that Praise was missing,” he said.


What a useless and irresponsible mother! Your daughter got missing and you sat down crying waiting for your husband. I don't know how some people reason. Maybe she adopted the babies, because if she truly gave birth to the girl, she will be more proactive than that.

Instead of her to raise an alarm or create a scene immediately the incidence happened,she sat down in one corner crying, i believe she is still crying till date. I tell you,if she had raised an alarm when it happened, there would have been a clue. Maybe someone would have remember seeing a baby with someone strange or something. Maybe they would have searched all vehicles coming in and out of Canaan Land that day,or even extend the search to Oju-ore or Toll gate. Search parties would have been organized to comb Ota and its environs, but she kept quiet,crying quietly. But they have to wait till Bishop finish preaching around 2pm to come out and look for the girl.

Obviously, they are not good parents themselves. So they have to wait for a whole year to say it out? I am a christian but I'm not stupid.

CHRISTIANITY DOES NOT EQUALS TO STUPIDITY!!!

stagger: Precisely what I have also been saying. I also do not know why the police did not investigate this matter, though in Nigeria, we all know what police investigation is all about. And we also know that people buy judgements in court, else Erastus Akingbola would not be a free man today.

God help us. But seriously, this case should call for a complete overhaul of the system where parents pick up kids after church. I will be discussing this with the crowd control unit of my parish on Sunday.

As it is, only God now can organise to have that child brought back. If God could make a child in my village who was lost during an air raid in the Nigerian civil war in 1967 to trace his way back in 2007, (now speaking Hausa), He can do anything. That is my sincere prayer for this family.

It is really very sad that they lost their child the way they did. It is indefensible.

stagger: Can you make a constructive suggestion to the parents of this child? I am yet to see one.

I am a Winner, but this case is a failure of the crowd control unit of the church. Clearly, and there is no defence for it. But I would like us to see what can be done to help this child instead of engaging in all the name calling that has taken 4 pages and so much bandwidth of the Nairaland hosting account.

Where can we go from here? My worry is that one year is such a long time.

Timileyin: Thank you jare, you were in chuch and your child Got missing, was it Oyedepo that came to carry your child. He told you he does not smell trouble. just believe.. you can still see you child. Its an attack from the devil to you and not the church. Pray sir. I understand how it feels to loose a child but? ....

Timileyin: Everyone is entitled to there own opinion about religion, preaches or any topic, but hating or blastfaming a religion or a man of God, is just wrong and it leads to destruction. let people be and believe what they want. educate yourself before commenting about people or posting in general.

if you have an opinion about a man of God, its better you keep it to your self, not broadcasting and celebrating it on frontpage. most of you guys are just jealous and envious about the level God as placed this men. Their members are not complaining and they are not fools nor blind.. huh [color=#990000][b][/b]
