Christianity EtcRe: Should We Stop Giving Tithe? by SirJohn(m): 11:27am On Mar 24, 2011
KunleOshob:
Modern day doctrine of tithes remains the most fraudulent doctrine in the history of mankind.
I couldn't agree any less
Christianity EtcRe: Pastor Chris: Maturity Is For Responsibility by SirJohn(m): 6:20pm On Mar 22, 2011
I was glad to know many were touched by my testimony, heres another incident that took place few months before the on I shared earlier.
I hope it inspires someone again


MY TESTIMONY
This second incident happened few months before the one I shared earlier: Anyone who has traveled along the Enugu - Portharcourt expressway would understand what I'm about to share. . .

It also had to do with a special project, this time in Abia state. I have this special expertise in an area of my job so each time issues come up that require my 'know how', I would be called upon to go resolve the issue.
It was the first day of the project, it was 1800hrs, I had finished for the day and was heading back to base ( I was actually supposed to stay in a hotel in Abia State but decided to head back to Enugu).

Its about two hours from Umuahia to Enugu and just before 1900hrs it was already dark. I have heard stories about this highway, I even lost a friend some years back on the same road, he was felled by robbers bullet.
I had to take the chance since I didn't want to spend the night in Abia state. At exactly 1900hrs, we got close to Okigwe, by now it was already dark.
for those of you who have traveled along this road before, you know how bad the road can be at this point, I mean large potholes and stuff.

We got to this point where the road was really bad, the road is a dual carriage way but because of the extent of damage on one side of the road, motorists are forced to use the other side as a two way road. we got to a point on this road and then stopped;  a huge container truck was parked in front of us as though it was trying to cross the bad spot. there was no movement for a few seconds and then I asked my driver why he wasn't moving, he told me it was traffic jam but I refused to believe him; we argued back and forth for a while before he decided to come out of the vehicle to see why the vehicles in front weren't moving. While he was out of the vehicle, I had this cold feeling all over so I tried to reach for my phone and call the company security but I couldn't find my cell phone.

All of a sudden, I saw Efosa running back to our vehicle, he opened the door, jumped in and told me that all the cars in front have been deserted; I mean all had their head lamps on, doors open but no occupant. . . I immediately knew we were in a robbery zone.
I asked him to turn back as fast as he could, just as he was about doing this, a figure walked up to the side of the car where I was (passengers side) I looked to my side and saw a man clad in black clothing with a face cap on, holding a 9mm berretta to my face and said "if you move I'll shoot you" (you don't want to experience this, believe me)

Almost immediately, he pulled the door open and dragged me out (the doors were not locked because my driver didn't lock them when he got in). Then again something bizarre happened; immediately I was pulled out of the vehicle at gun point, Efosa sped off with the car. I lay face down in the middle of the highway and heard the sound of my vehicle speeding off and all I said to myself was "oh my goodness, now they're gonna shoot me". But the next thing I heard was "where’s the money" I was glad to hear that so I emptied my pockets, I must have had close to N20,000 on me. he demanded for my phone but I told him I left it in the car, I thought he was going to get mad and hit me but he didn't.  After they were convinced I had given them all I had on me, they let me go but asked me to run as fast as my legs can carry me. In all this, I was unbelievably calm, I couldn't believe how calm I was myself. While leaving the scene, I also discovered more of them spread out in different locations; they should be about ten of them.

After I left the scene, they started shooting sporadically into the air, calling themselves different names and taunting the police; I ran into a bush nearby and lay low till they were done and left the scene.
After about ten minutes in the bush, different thoughts started crisscrossing my mind, I wondered if I would make it through the night, I thought of wild animals, scorpions and snakes, I wondered if I could sleep through it all. After about an hour thirty minutes  in the bush, my mind could not take the barrage of thoughts any longer, I switched to survival mode. I took off my shirt (that was the only thing I had on that could reflect light and give me away) and walked out of the bush; at this point, I was ready to face whatever came my way. I looked left and right and everywhere was pitch black and so silent I could hear my own heartbeat. Immediately, I started running towards Abia state (this was 1 hour from me using a car) but who cares, I was on survival mode, I could do anything.

I ran for about ten minutes yet no vehicle in sight and no human person; all I heard were night birds, owls, crickets etc. suddenly a police patrol car pulled over in front of me, six policemen alighted from the car and all corked and pointed their AK 47 rifles at me ordering me to stop or they’ll fire. I stopped running, threw my hands up and asked them not to shoot. I narrated what happened in less than fifteen seconds; they believed me and put me inside their car. I heaved a huge sigh of relief as I could not believe what was happening, I thought I was dreaming.

The policemen took me back to okigwe, I told them I needed to use the ATM and they took me to one (I actually refused giving the robbers my card holder and thank God they didn’t search me). They later took me to a hotel, I paid for a room and then we went to the hotel restaurant where I bought refreshments for the policemen. I called my company’s security and I was told my driver had called and he has been asked to go back and locate me. Anyways, he came 30mins later and joined the celebration in the restaurant.

Later that night while I lay in bed, these thoughts ran through my mind:
What if the robbers had gone angry because my driver escaped with the vehicle?
What if I didn’t come out of the bush at the exact time I did and the policemen didn’t find me?
Where the policemen angels?
What if my driver hadn’t escaped and I had to lose more stuffs like my phone, laptop and the car?
What if I had given them my card holder and I didn’t have any means of getting money?

In all these things, we are indeed more than conquerors!!
Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Christians Lack by SirJohn(m): 7:05am On Mar 22, 2011
I think the question should have been: 'Why Do People Lack'. The christian is no different when it comes to economic principles, just like Joagbaje mentioned, a Christian who goes about spending recklessly may soon go broke; this will apply to any other person.

The bible admonishes us to be Honest, Diligent, hardworking and Prudent, these are some keys to overcoming lack.

Christianity EtcRe: Blessing In Paying Tithe? by SirJohn(m): 11:31am On Mar 21, 2011
otitokoro1:
Despite this promise of blessing.  Why are Christians not blessed?
First of all, it is wrong to say that Christians are not blessed. Secondly, Gods blessings are not dependent on your obedience of the law of tithing; there are some Christians who pay tithes and are blessed just as you have some who do not pay and are equally blessed. in between, you also have some who pay tithes but cannot say they see the blessings.
God is sovereign in all things

yes this what l am talking about what a great deliverance, to God be the glory and praise forever! Amen. Now watch this, it would be cynical and unreasonably canal if l begin to express doubt, questioning the authenticity of this glorious testimony perhaps by suggesting that you are no where to be found in the photos.
l believe like me several other persons are inspired and strengthened by this testimony as it does credence to the saving grace of God Almighty.
please share more!

This is just one of many several testimonies that I have and will definitely share them someday.
Do you mind me having your email?
Christianity EtcRe: S’africa Orders Chirst Embassy Church To Stop Faith Healing Ads by SirJohn(m): 10:25am On Mar 20, 2011
yommyuk:
There are 2 different sides to this.

1. I can truly say that less than 1 percent  know/heard of CEC and all of the AFRICAN churches in the West especailly UK. Only 5% of the indegnious people, if not less go to chruch anyway. I never heard about CEC until 2007 thru a congolese I met at a bustop while going to work. I live in a neigbourhood where there are less than 10 black out of about 30k. Probably if I met him in Places like London, I might still  being in the dark concerning CEC. Even KICC with a membership of about 12k does not have up to 100(50 maybe) whites as members (Less than  1 percent). So r they really taking over the world and territories? But when these organisations preach on TV, they give the impression as if David Cameron is a member.

Secondly, the anglican church is very effective in every community (especailly with the older generation). You will be shocked  of the good they do. Can this be said of these so called AFRICAN churches who show who rent up every disused building in abandoned industrial estates. All they do is show up in a community, play holy holy holy within the church walls ,go outside show off and drive off. The Local people will be left wondering? what the heck?

Christainity is not all about preaching the WORD AND HEALing, it is about meeting personal needs in the local community hence leaving a legacy.

2. On the other side, most of these african churches are majorly good for networking.  At least you are with your own kind. They do have their benefits, but more needs to be done. They really need to engage the local population more, which is very hard. Most white people  find it uncomfortable going to a blackmans church. Some of them go out of boredom or because they may find a black gf who needs paper (meaning sexual exploits).

Check out TD JAKE or  CREFLOR Dollars, how may whilte folks do you see/find in their congregation on TV in the USA? Even the muslims are beating us hands down in this respect.



.
You guys are going too far, lets come back home; I have had the chance to travel to nearly every state in Nigeria and the same thing applies here. Apart from Lagos, Edo and Rivers states, where Chris has the most followership in thousands, you cant say the same for most other states.
Infact, there are major cities in Nigeria where the name 'pastor Chris' doesn't even ring a bell.
But you know I like their style; few deluded folks making so much noise and looking big, nairaland is an example, its just the same set of people making so much noise with multiple id's.

you see mabell l don't enjoy aging with these unbelievers and people whose hearts have become unpersuadable and hardened perhaps l should start praying for specific calamity and affliction to visit them so that they can believe but they mustn't wait for such.
My dear go ahead and pray all you can, 'you go old', I'll share a testimony I've been longing to share online to show you what God does with such prayers as yours:

MY TESTIMONY (SNATCHED FROM THE FANGS OF DEATH)

It was nearly midday on Friday the 19th of February 2010, I set out on a journey along with my driver and a contractor from Enugu to Ebonyi state via the Enugu-Abakaliki expressway. It was just like every other day; nice sunny and bright weather, and all that filled my thoughts was how to complete my mission in Ebontyi state and head back to base. We cruised down the expressway completely oblivious of what lay ahead of us.

The journey from Enugu to Abakaliki is about one hour thirty minutes (1hr30mins) and just thirty minutes into our journey, we had to stop at a town called nkalagu. There were no vehicles coming from the opposite direction and all vehicles going in our direction had all stopped, in fact, there was a sea of vehicles all around. Just as I was about to figure out why all the vehicles had stopped going any further, I looked and saw what seemed like a mass exodus: people fleeing from their community on foot carrying their belongings on their head. Men, women, children, several hundreds of them all looking petrified.

At this point I came out of the vehicle to find out what exactly was going on, I inquired from a bus driver who told me that there has been an ongoing communal clash between two clans and that it had taken a deadly dimension. They said armed youths and militants have been unleashing terror on unsuspecting innocent passersby., infact several had been killed.

I got back into the vehicle and told my driver to turn back since it was dangerous to go any further. just as he was about to do that, two police armored personnel carriers (APC) and five white Toyota hilux trucks fully loaded with armed mobile policemen came from the opposite direction (where we were initially headed) and told everyone to follow them that there was no cause for alarm.
One of the APC's then turned and headed for Abakaliki, some of the commercial bus drivers happily followed it. A little moment after we decided to start heading back to Enugu, I changed my mind and asked my driver to follow the second APC which was just about turning as well to join the first one.

We turned back quick enough to be just immediately behind the APC and also just behind us were the five Toyota hilux trucks with mobile policemen, we were in a white Mitsubishi L200 truck which was similar to what the policemen had so it looked like a police convoy.
When we got to the trouble zone, I looked in amazement as one of the buses which followed the first APC had been attacked from behind by the armed militants just before we got there; right then I knew something was wrong.

we continued moving until we were approached by a 911 lorry, the lorry conductor jumped down from the lorry and tried to signal the APC in front of us to stop, at the same time, he was pointing into the bush. Almost immediately, about fifteen to twenty armed fierce looking guys came out of the bush all armed with AK 47 rifles, shotguns, cutlasses and charms. They wanted to barricade the road but stopped and all stood fearlessly by the side of the road; at this time, the APC in front of us stopped and so did every other vehicle behind us. Everywhere became as quiet as a graveyard for about fifteen seconds, then all of a sudden, one mobile policeman behind us opened fire (I guess at the gunmen). What followed is difficult for me to describe, in fact, the guardian newspaper put it this way:

"So ferocious was the fight on one particular day, that the works minister, Alhaji Hassan Lawal and his entourage were forced to abort their planned visit and run back to Enugu as the sound of assault rifles reverberated and billows smoke rose into the skies from the fighting"

My brethren, I was in the midst of this ferocious battle; the gunmen opened fire at us and all I heard was rat tat tat tat! I dont know how my driver maneuvered and escaped the scene but the pictures below tell what happened thereafter.

https://farm6.static.flickr.com/5180/5529605082_be874e7ba8.jpghttps://farm6.static.flickr.com/5012/5529604558_79ba27f113.jpg

The APC in front of me (shown in the picture by the left) was seriously damaged, the five Toyota hilux trucks behind me were completely burnt, several policemen and civilians were killed on the spot. . . it could have been me but I was pulled out of the midst of it all.
Praise God!!

mabell:
I have a testimony to share, during my final high school days, i came back from school one day and just observed that i was blinking too much. I couldn't stare at something for a long time, it was like i had stones in my eyes
As a result of this my eyes were always wet cos i couldn't leave them open for a long time and of course it was hurting and it persisted
I had attended Christ Embassy just during their carol service and didn't know much about the church
One day, i was sitting alone in the living room when Pastor Chris' program came on air, i watched him pray for people over the screen to their homes and just about when he was about to round up, he said there is a young girl watching me that has problems keeping her eyes open for a while, that caught my attention and he said the anointing of the Lord is upon you now and you are healed. I taught it was a joke and like play like play, i felt this soothing sensation in my eyes with water pouring down my cheeks and that was how it ended.
Oh what joy
I can vividly remember him saying Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever

So the healing ministry of Pastor Chris AND CHRIST EMBASSY did not start toady and will not end today
newmi:
@SirJohn
No discredit to you as an individual, but experiences however they may have played out are no bases for judging the truth about pastory Chris and CE. The word of God is the basis for the judging and we have subjected it to the scrutiny of the word of God and prove positive the result speak for themselves.
I personally got healed of deafness on my left ear in 2006 just by putting the word of God that pastor Chris preaches and teaches to work. you see its terrible to be deaf.
I ask Joagbaje to provide evidence of his so called blind cases and all of a sudden Mabell and newmi became blind and deaf for Jesus  grin grin grin
clowns! ! !
Christianity EtcRe: Pastor Chris: Maturity Is For Responsibility by SirJohn(m): 8:11am On Mar 15, 2011
Joagbaje:
I have attended some sessions . But not the classes but at he same time , I have people I sent to healing school and the came back healed , except one woman who's symptoms returned. And there is explanation for that. If you want truth as real people. I know 2 people who have been married for years without a child . They went to healing school and the wives took in same month. You want to find the truth ? Let's start from them if you're ready, check the date of their marriage certificate . N
Interview them . Go through medical report. If you are ready let me know. I will get their contact. One of them have been married for about 15 years without a child. When pastor chrisay hands on them the miracle started.
You only attended the healing services, that was after the school dude!

and NO Joagbaje, you boasted of four blind cases, you turned a deaf ear when I talked about that yesterday; why don't we start from there?
Christianity EtcRe: Oh! Pastor Chris, It Is Not Your Fault! by SirJohn(m): 8:06am On Mar 15, 2011
newmi:
no that's where you are wrong my friend, we have seen the blind see, deaf ears stopped, the barren give birth, even the demoniac delivered, we have Satan time and time and time again bow in defeat before the power of God's Spirit all IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH.

And you know what, if it happened to only people whom we only heard of but can't relate with their conditions then we have the chance maybe doubt it but these things are testimonies from these our personal experiences with or without pastor Chris. we cast out devils, we lay hands on the sick and they are healed sometimes on our own bodies and are healed, we have seen complex and dangerous medical operations synthesized and easy by the power of God's Spirit
this is what yhe bible called in THE bok of Acts about the man at the beautiful gate "a notable miracle" what more could one ask for.

These came a time when even John The Baptist doubted Jesus and His ministry sending men to Jesus to ask him "are you the inequality we should expect or we should with fir another", what was Jesus' reply? after He had praise John, He said "tell him the blind see, the deaf, the dumb speak, the gospel is preached to the gospel poor". Don't think we are fools, we have proven it by the word of Godd and with fire.
Making noise! Thats what you guys are good at. . . Anybody can talk volumes; as a matter of fact, empty containers make the most noise cheesy
ask them to produce just one case, then you see excuses as loud as the noise they make.

do you ever consider the possibility of hundreds of thousands of people spread over the world could be daft and silly that for morethan 2 decades we are still getting stronger in our conviction about this message, have you have asked what the motivation is? well if not then that was very nuts of you.
Same can be said for Islam, Buddhism, Satanism etc. What difference does it make

newmi:
our motivation is simple:
@ the money is ours not yours
@ we are living evidences that this message is not a failure and that it works, l mean our lives are prove positive this message works.
@ we seen the extra ordinary power of God demonstrated in several meetings all over the world with or with pastor Chris so this not about the man pastor Chris, you cannot defeat a people with proven convictions, read your history.

The Kenyan 28 was healed at the healing school. I called her myself,to rebuke her to cooprate with those who are asking her questions. God doesn't need liars and actors to testify for him. It's a sin. But she confirmed to me she's really in Kenya and she's not a CEC member. I knew from her accent she's not Nigerian.

I thought you saud you would visit her wedding in Kenya . I was waiting for you to confirm your findings.
I would have loved to but I went to UAE for my vacation instead for obvious reasons. Kenyan 28 only ended up making herself a liar more than a miracle recipient. in fact I loved her case because she ended up verifying most of what I said i witnessed in the healing school; when I asked her to fault my story, like you she went mute and never came to NL again

You don't need to start insulting. You know I'm not lying. You dont have right to csll me liar until you do proper investigation.
So what investigation did you do before you said I lied? ? ? ? ?
What more do I need to do after speaking with the lady herself who denied being completely blind? they probably didn't want to hurt you so they told you a different tale.

Joagbaje:
I told you lied to me about what she said. You called her again, and later told me that she is saying something else.  You also spoke with her brother and he confirmed her miraculous healing that day . His number is here for anyone to call 08039377331 CHIMA by name.
Christianity EtcRe: Pastor Chris: Maturity Is For Responsibility by SirJohn(m): 2:20pm On Mar 14, 2011
Joagbaje:
Thanks you snowy, but you can see I didn't bring it up. When John told me he didn't believe in miracles or healing . That they have seized since the days of the apostles that anyone that claim to heal the sick is lying.  I was more concerned for his restoration from this unbelief.  Is Shared few things with him. In private. He even said if he sees any genuine miracle,he will come over to verify them, he will tender apology etc . I told him I have several healing cases. I told hims some. I mentioned a woman that was blind in one eye and got healed, a leg ulcer, and some others. Truly he was reluctant at first, he feels I will sent actors to come and lie. He now changed his demand , that he wanted case of someone totally blind. I was shocked for the change in demand. Then i remember this woman case which happened 4 years ago . I said i had a woman healed of blindness but , ive  lost contact with her. He said thats the one he wanted. I began to make calls until i got her brother who gave me her number.   These were private discussions but its he want of  He is the one that brought them openly here.  When I saw the way he manipulated to rubbish that powerful testimony . I began to have serious concerns about his claim about healing school. I used to think he misuderstood some things in the healing school and thereby came to wrong conclusion , but I'm seriously in doubt of johns sincerity . It's not a case of misunderstanding now, but deliberate manipulation. It's sad.
Next time when you come out to brag in public, watch your back! !.
My account of the healing school remains unshaken, several actors have come and embarrassed themselves on that thread, most of their stories ended up corroborating my account.
I don't expect much from you, na your way. . . always running when you start a fight

Joagbaje:
@ Sir john.
She told me you were lying. She admitted she wasnt cooperating initially . When a stranger called her and started questioning her.
And I reasoned with her. She was going through a marital whatever. She was even afraid of the man finding out about this blindness she had before. She doesn't want to remember it. I told you she had a situation with her walk as a christian. These are personal things with her I dont want to bring open . So if someone suddenly appear and asking her such question she would be reluctant but when you said her testimony may bless others , she agreed and told you everything. I don't know her frame of mind right now. You your self said she told you she didn't like the idea of someone using her testimony for advertisement . I cant put her number here. After your treatment of her case. We can do conference call with her brother . he may talk with her if she would be willing. Shey you have her number. But as a counsellor , I advise you to be careful when dealing with a woman with some marital concerns. I dont want to win an argument. Every testimony I share are truth.
Mr Agbaje, fine I'm lying, lets talk to her and stop trying to play your usual pranks. In the first place, it was you who put pressure on me to call these people, I refused initially but accepted later, now you're running and making excuses. I don't have her number and would not mind if you give it; you're a pastor, you can advise her to co-operate cant you? or is she out of control?
you said you have four blind cases why not give us their details Liar!
You cant run for too long you know,your lies will find you out.
Christianity EtcRe: Pastor Chris: Maturity Is For Responsibility by SirJohn(m): 12:03pm On Mar 14, 2011
Joagbaje:
Sir John, the woman was 100% blind . When I gave you her number and you gave me untrue report. She confirm what you said was false. You claimed she said she began to see after going to herbalist and several consultation. But she told me that what she said to you was that she couldn't see, she went to several places and after much consultations, she was finally brought to me. And after I prayed for her , she began to see. I told you lied to me about what she said. You called her again, and later told me that she is saying something else.  You also spoke with her brother and he confirmed her miraculous healing that day . His number is here for anyone to call 08039377331 CHIMA by name.

His sister became totally blind. I prayed for her, initially no physical effect but I told her she was healed. I was sharing Gods word ,when suddenly she shouted "I can see" " can see".  I asked her how it happened , she said as she was hearing the word , her eyes opened. But no sight. (her eyes were shut before) but as she was listening to the word , faith rose in her and she said "I can see in Jesus name" , the moment she shouted I can see , sight was restored perfectly, she was led by the hand to me , she walked home by herself.

I told you I have 4 blind cases healed , I told you of another incurable leg ulcer the hospital rejected. When I prayed for him , he got healed. He had medical report. I told you I had several healing cases. But when I saw what seemed to be insincerity on your part , I didn't bother about the other cases since it seemed you made up your mind that the era of miracles are over
Joagbaje, The woman told me she was never blind but was having peppery eyes thats why she couldn't hold it open for a long time, I spoke with the brother as well and he didn't say emphatically that the lady was blind. She said in the service while you ministered, she started shouting "I can see" I asked her if she started seeing then and she said no that she was only exercising her faith. why not put her phone number instead? why her brothers' number? you don't call the shots here, we decide who we talk to okay.

you claim to have 4 blind cases, we would like to independently verify them if you don't mind. No pranks please! ! !

Joagbaje:
there is no need for stage managing of miracles. jesus christ is thesame yesterday, today and forever. miracles are common place in CeC. leaders and members do cast out devils and heal the sick. ask any local member of any branch. i dont want to talk about the miracles through me. you will say im boasting. so when we hear all these stories of staging miracles , we laugh over them because miracles are common place.
if theres any staging , it is those who are paid to lie against the church as they did o christ and other apostles.
Oh come on Jo don't start, remember the woman you supposedly healed of blindness in your church? You gave me her phone number, when I questioned her, the story was different; she said she was never blind. . . I'm sorry Jo, this was probably not meant to go public but it has to. Let me hear your defense to this before I say more.

@Gombs,
Your wanting to take up the duty of an advocate for CE came rather too late, so many have tried it and failed.

Yes, miracles are supernatural acts of God, whilst we may not be able to explain how it happened, we cannot deny that it happened because just like a mature pregnancy in a woman, you cannot hide it.

In your long epistle, you ask if NBC can explain the miracle of the new birth but hey come on dude, we're talking about miracle healings and not miracles in the general sense. If a man was born blind and claims to have been healed, is it anything supernatural for us to know who this man is, who knew him as a blind man, who can confirm that he indeed can see. This was the case in the time of Jesus, people could relate to his miracles and no one time was Jesus accused of being fake because his works were evident for all to see; instead they said he was a sorcerer and that he exorcised demons by the power of Beelzebub. At one time when he healed some lepers, he asked them to go show themselves to the priests, this was a form of verification.
In the CE Healing School (that is if you've been there at all), miracle recipients are immediately whisked away from the general public and only released after the show is over.

Again, if you argue that the action by NBC is negatively impacting the faith of people, what about the several thousands or maybe millions that believe in this sham and end up worse off or maybe even die as a result. . . The evidence abound and you cannot deny it. The lives of innocent people is at stake here and the move by NBC is very much welcome.

Just in case your finger still itches and you want to talk more, why not address this long standing issue:

You don't get it do you? grin it is spelt 'scared' not 'sacred'. . . now you can see how a little twisting of letters alter a message tongue tongue tongue

Re last two posts:

Placebo effect from temporary exhilaration; well known effect and also well associated with fake healers.

- A chap I knew personally was  declared healed at Benny Hinn's gig in Nigeria and the chap also celebrated and jumped on stage; the chap died about a week later unfortunately.

- Several years ago, an elderly man I knew with some kind of palsy/back trouble went to some similar gig at the Stadium (maybe Obadare's); man also went on stage, and jumped "like he could not jump before"; goes back home and his condition was back to square one.

- Watch the video here and search what happened to the girl*

- Finally, google 'Cerullo Audrey Reynolds'

*Edited to substitute better video link with info on what happened to the girl
@Enigma, thanks for your response above, I've said the same thing several times on this forum. Placebo effect, power of suggestion thats the explanation for those who care to know.

He's likely on the phone furiously calling for reinforcements to come and share testimonies of how many lives his fellow "gods" delivered and souls they saved hopping from okada to Molues all over the country so we keep quiet. Rich blessed Okada hoppers! cheesy

That is the extent of his scholarship - thuggery, noise, distraction and of course, avarice
