According to some points made by him

How true are the types of tithes given in the OT?

3 types of tithes were mentioned, are they wrong?

Tithes in the OT were given yearly, 3 years and 7 years respectively. How true?

Only foodstuffs or farmed products were given as tithes, how true?

There are no levites in Nigeria according to the OT qualifications, how true?

There are no real priests in Nigeria according to the qualifications of the OT, how true?

11 tribes of Israel paid tithes to the levites and not directly to the priests, how true?

The levites paid tithes to the priests, how true?

The priests store the house of God with foodstuffs paid from the tithes, how true?

The temple in Jerusalem has been destroyed, so the era of tithe has ended until its rebuilt. How true?

Let's discuss these points first before moving to other points raised.

What did he say that is false? Let's take it from there.

The bible is the judge here since both divide claim to be following the bible.

asuustrike2009:
To set records straight, the post is addressed at the pastor.

Sorry but this post is either here or there, what is this post addressing or who is it addressing? Those who pay/receive tithe or those who are against/don't pay?

asuustrike2009:
Even Satan misquoted the scriptures when he tempted Jesus how much more now. The book of Genesis to Revelation were not written for written sake. Am not surprised because we're in the last days were men will be full of themselves. Were Lucifer will twist the scriptures to lure many to hell. Am not surprised because his members are on this forum and have being attacking blindly unknown to them. Their kind are in hell as I speak gnashing their teeth's and begging Jesus for second chance. They're the false prophets the Bible talk of because even the elect will be deceived to their skims.

Lol, its to post the rest of the message

Conclusion

It’s a sin to pay or receive tithe. If you are a Christian do not pay tithe again so that you don’t incur the wrath of God. If Israelites do not pay tithe now, then why should you, a non-Israelite pay tithe. Even if you are a spiritual Israelite, why should you pay tithe whereas the physical Israelites don’t?

If you are a man of God, please do not receive tithe again so that you don’t incur the wrath of God. If Jesus Christ, Apostle Paul, Apostle Peter, and co didn’t receive tithe, why then should you receive tithe? There are many other kinds of offering you can receive. You can receive the regular offering, partnership offering, sacrificial offering, but not tithe. The tithe system is against the poor. Yes, the tithe system takes from the poor to take care of the rich. But we are supposed to take from the rich and take care of the poor. You must stop now! Why am I telling you this? It is an instruction from the Lord. Can the instruction be found in the Bible?

Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. – 2Timothy4:2

The above scripture clearly says rebuke and correct wrong doctrines.

A revival has actually started. Yes, it has started. And because it’s of God, no one can stop it. I encourage you to join the revival. A true revival is not gathering together to pray but identifying errors, recognizing the truth, and start practicing the truth.

He who has ears, let him hear.
God bless Christians.
And God bless you!
Shalom!

The Types of Tithe

There were basically three types of tithe practiced by Israelites.

First, was the Levitical tithe or the first tithe (Numbers18:21-24), and it was given yearly to the Levites. This first tithe is the doctrine of tithe practiced by Christians.

The second tithe was called the tithe of feasts. In this kind of tithe, the person tithing would eat the tithe himself at a place the Lord will choose for him This tithe was done on the first year, second year, fourth year and fifth year of the seven-year cycle (Deuteronomy 14:22-27).

The third tithe was the poor man’s tithe, which was done on the third and sixth year. In this kind of tithe, the person tithing would give the tithe to strangers, widows, fatherless and Levites to eat and be satisfied (Deuteronomy 14:28-29).

Amongst the three kinds of tithe, Christians wrongly practice the first one, which is also called the Levitical tithe. I will quickly show you why it’s a sin to pay or receive tithe in this dispensation.

Why It’s a Sin to Pay or Receive Tithe

When God gave the commandment of tithe, He clearly stated who would pay the tithe; who would receive the tithe; and the purpose for receiving the tithe. He said the tithe would be paid by Israelites (except those from the tribe of Levi). He said that only the Levites were permitted to receive tithe and also said it was for their service in the tabernacle of the congregation. God actually gave them the tithe as an inheritance (Numbers18: 21-24).

For you to be eligible to pay tithe, you have to come from any of the tribes of Israel, apart from the tribe of Levi.

But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the Lord, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
Numbers 18:24

Though Gentile Christians are children of Abraham, we were not given any tribe. As long as you don’t have an Israeli’s international passport, you are not eligible to give tithe. The instruction was very specific.

Second, if you are eligible to give tithe, you are permitted to give the tithe only to one set of people called the Levites

And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.

But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.

But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the Lord, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
Numbers18: 21-24

The Levites are simply those from the tribe of Levi. Even in the New Testament of the Bible, the scripture clearly tells us that only the Levites are permitted to receive tithe (Hebrews 7:5). If you give your tithe to non-Levite, you are going against God’s instruction. And it will be counted against you as a sin. I will also like to state that there is nothing like spiritual Levites. We may have spiritual Israelites but not spiritual Levites or spiritual Benjaminite. I will also like to state here that priests did not receive tithe from the Israelites. The Israelites gave their tithe to Levites and Levites would then give 10 percent of the tithe to Priests (Numbers 18:26-28).

Third, for you to be eligible to receive tithe, you must be a Levite. It’s very clear in the scripture. When a non-Levite receives tithe, the person has gone against the instruction of God. Such person has committed a sin. If you are not from the tribe of Levi, then you are not a Levite. There is nothing like a spiritual Levite. This explains why Jesus Christ, who was from the tribe of Judah, didn’t receive tithe from anyone. Apart from the fact that Jesus didn’t ask the Israelites to pay tithe to him, He still encouraged them to continue paying their tithe. In Matthew 22:23, He rebuked the Pharisees that they pay tithe, which is less important, and leave the more important things like justice, mercy and faithfulness. He then encouraged them to do both the less important ones and the more important ones. In other words, He encouraged them to continue paying tithe to the Levites. That was simply the law. Only Levites could receive tithe.

If Jesus Christ who was from Israel couldn’t receive tithe because He didn’t come from the tribe of Levi, how then can a non-Israeli pastor from Africa or America be entitled to receive tithe? This also explains why Apostle Peter, Apostle Paul and the other apostles couldn’t receive tithe from anyone. Though they were men of God, they couldn’t receive tithe because they were not Levites. It will also interest you that presently we have some non-Levite Jewish Rabbis who are in charge of synagogues but do not receive tithe. Though they are Rabbis and are “physical” citizens of Israel, they don’t receive tithe because the law does not permit them. Any non-Levite who receives tithe sins grievously against God.

Finally, tithe cannot be paid or received in this dispensation because the purpose of giving tithe to Levites can no longer be fulfilled now. Why did God command that tithe should be given to the Levites?

And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. Numbers18:21

Levites were given the tithe simply because they serve at the temple of congregation. But because the temple has been destroyed, the Levites can no longer serve at the temple. So, even if you are eligible to give or receive tithe, you cannot give or receive tithe now because the temple has been destroyed. Do you know that no Israelite pays or receives tithe today. Yes, they have stopped giving tithe until the temple is rebuilt. Please note that when the temple is rebuilt, Christians will still not join the Jews in paying and receiving tithe because the tithe system was not created to cater for Christians. Rather, it was created to cater for Levites. This explains why the early Christians who existed before the temple was destroyed never neither paid nor received tithe.

As Abraham’s children, are we not Israelites?
A person once asked, “If we are children of Abraham and also heir to his blessings, are we not Israelites? That you are a child of Abraham does not make you Jewish. You are still a Gentile, but because you have given your life to Christ, you receive his blessings. So, you don’t receive Abraham’s blessings because you pay tithe but because you have given your life to Christ.

He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. (Galatians 3:14, NIV)

The scripture above still calls us Gentiles. Even though we may be spiritual Israelites, we are still Gentiles and as such are not Levites. We are not permitted to pay or receive tithe.

Understanding Abraham’s Tithe to Melchizedek
Though Abraham once gave tithe to Melchizedek, the doctrine of tithe practiced in Christianity is different. While tithe is one tenth of one’s increase, Abraham didn’t give one tenth of his increase. Rather, he gave one tenth of the spoils he got from war. Though he was very rich, he didn’t touch his increase.

Second, Abraham’s tithe was a one-time gift. He didn’t give it every month or every year unlike the monthly tithe practiced in Christianity. In addition, tithe in the scripture was mandatory while Abraham’s tithe was voluntary. Abraham didn’t pay the tithe because any law said he should pay it. He paid it of his own volition. This explains why his son Isaac didn’t pay tithe. Even his grand son Jacob didn’t pay tithe as well. Though Jacob vowed to give God one tenth, it wasn’t tithe. It was a personal vow he made that if God would protect and bless him, he would give Him one tenth of the blessing.

And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,

So that I come again to my father’s house in peace; then shall the Lord be my God:
And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee. Genesis 28:20-22

Jacob’s vow was also a one-time one and voluntary. It wasn’t every month or every year.

Finally, Abraham didn’t give the tithe to Melchizedek for us to emulate him and start giving tithe. And even if we are to emulate him, then you can only give tithe from spoils you get from war. That means for you to give tithe, you would need to go for a war, win the war and bring the spoil. Abraham’s tithe cannot be used to teach people to pay tithe.

Understanding Malachi 3:10

Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. Malachi 3:10

Many people have asked me questions regarding Malachi 3:10. One person once asked me “If we are not supposed to pay tithe, what does Malachi 3:10 mean?” The answer is very simple. Malachi 3:10 doesn’t refer to the congregation. It rather refers to priests. Yes, the scripture speaks to priests. For better understanding, I will take you to the Book of Numbers.

In Chapter 18 of the Book, verses 25-29, the Bible says that when the Levites receive the tithe of the people, they should also take a tithe of the tithe and give to priests. In verse 32, the Bible say that when they present the best part, they will not be guilty and they will not defile the holy offerings. Also in Nehemiah 10:38, the Bible also says that priests and Levites should bring the tithe of tithe to the storeroom of God.

A priest descended from Aaron is to accompany the Levites when they receive the tithes, and the Levites are to bring a tenth of the tithes up to the house of our God, to the storerooms of the treasury. Nehemiah 10:38, NIV

So, it happened that the priests in those days were not taking the tithe of tithe to the storehouse of God. And God was angry and warned them in Malachi 3:10. To really know who God spoke to in Malachi 3:10, it’s better to go to Chapter 2:1 where the instruction started.

And now, you priests, this warning is for you. Malachi 2:1, NIV

The warning continued from Chapter 2 until it got to Chapter 3, verse 10.
So, the scripture was a warning to priests and not a warning to the congregation.

Conclusion

By Pastor Chris Ojigbani

For hundreds of years, Christians incur the wrath of God by paying and receiving tithe. Though the doctrine of tithe is popular and generally accepted in Christianity, it’s a wrong doctrine.

It’s actually a sin to pay tithe and it’s equally a sin to receive tithe in Christianity. The doctrine is generally accepted because of the misinterpretation of some tithe related scriptures.

A misinterpretation of a scripture can lead many generations astray. In like manner, the misinterpretation of tithe related scriptures has led many Christian generations astray. Before explaining the true meaning of the scriptures, it’s important I first explain what tithe means.

What is tithe?
Tithe as an English word means one tenth or 10 percent. Tithe in the scripture means a mandatory 10 percent of one’s increase (Deuteronomy 14:22).

How often did Israelites give Tithe?
The tithe system had a seven-year cycle. The Israelites were mandated to give tithe on the first year, second year, third year, fourth year, fifth year and sixth year.

They didn’t give tithe on the seventh year because they weren’t allowed to farm on the seventh year. It was called the Sabbath year or the sabbatical year.

On that year, they would allow the land to lie fallow (Exodus 23:10-11) (Leviticus 25:1-7). So, because they used agricultural products as tithe, they never gave tithe on the Sabbath year.

The Types of Tithe:

Good one girl.

But una no dey pass 24yrs?

After how many years with the super falcons?

Lol try again!

Holluwasehun:
It's not fake. Am a fan of Radio contental I listened to it this morning during Sunrise Program anchored by Debby she said today will be the last time the programme will be held as the station will be shut

If you call someone out, you must prove it, its not the job of AGF to prove an allegation. Best was to petition the IG and the court will take over. We are talking about a govt official here (top) so going to public to allege without evidence might be seen as what they currently saw it to be. Taking the case to court will vindicate him and also give him the power to sue the IG and the fed govt/AGF once he wins.

bkool7:
Why cant the AGF use is office to inveatigate the matter rather prosecute the whistle ?

For crying out loud we all know the stench of corruption that emanates from the NP

If he aims for QF, we might end up going off at the group stage but if he aims for the cup, we might end up in the semis at least, so its a good dream/aspiration!

nerodenero:
Break the failure of not going beyond Round of 16, a Quarter final birth is a good outing. Dreaming of winning the Worldcup is like looking to see the beginning and the end of heaven.

At least with evidence, he will help us put the IG out of work and to shame.

So its actually good.

Allegations must be proven so that the corrupt get docked!

I knew he was Cameroonian, the receipt revealed that na.

Is the church not suppose to correct? Most don't understand how the Christian God works and the churches are now using their ignorance to rip them off the more. But for how long before Christianity loses its value?

Missonas:
I am saying mehn to hell with what pple choose to do and with what! Its not the church its the people!! If u dont fall mugu whose gonna rip you?!!!

Fyi i dint make it a country based thgy i only pointed out that Joseph is a Cameroonian!

With makeup, you can look like most celebs.

Let her wash of the makeup, then lets see if she's going to look like Kate.

Why is it so difficult for you to answer a simple question? It caught you off balance and you have no way out abi?

Knowing Jesus did the same thing Freeze is doing now? Criticising the wrongs in Christianson is now a problem to you right? If he doesn't, who then should?

djon78:
My friend you have no knowledge. Go and learn. You are calling me typical Nigerian but you are just beating round the bush. I was just conversing with a novice in the scripture. Go and learn and study and then come back. You have no basic understanding. Simple and I don't think I have anything to discuss with you go and read all my posts maybe you can learn.

Missonas:
Uncle u jst shot urself. U are d one to use ur brain so u understand pple's post better. What in my post suggests the contrary to what u asked

What are you saying?

The issue is not about whether the person paying is Nigerian or not, its about what the church is turning to.

Did you check your mirror before calling someone else names? You criticize Freeze for criticising your Gods and you think you have the moral compass to insult others?

Yes, the question is what will Jesus do if he was in Nigeria, answer the question and stop sounding like a typical Nigerian full with sentiments and emotional outburst.

djon78:
You are the Pharisee my friend. And I don't mince any word about it. Check your own life Mr holier than thou. Calling them Pharisee. I put it to you that you are the Pharisee. Imagine asking me what will Jesus do? Equating me with Christ. That is what I have been saying, holier than thou, mere mortal like you.

Speaking out is judgemental already. What stops you from praying about the situation. Like God doesn't see what is happening. Is there anything hid from God. When God wanted to take Isreal to the promised land and told Abraham about it, what did God say: that the iniquity of the Amorites than possessed the Land, there cup has not yet filled up. If a pastor is messing up God will judge him when the time has come for that. It is left for God, not you a mere mortal. Can you change anything? There are Pastors that have gone to jail in US and other places, when there Cup was full.
And freeze has to better watch it Because He has big issues in his own life, and as he is being judgemental God will open his own case file and remember his own issues too.

You don't know the meaning of judgement so trying to correct you is a fruitless venure.

You my friend, tell me what Jesus the author and the finisher of our faith will do if he was in Nigeria and seeing what Christianitooks like here.

It's Ekita, not Akita

opal4real:
What is it with Japanese and Edo language. Severally similarities.

Dog in Edo is Akita.

Do you know the difference between speaking out and rebelling? All what you quoted are acts of rebelling. No one made any pastor an authority to anyone. He doesn't belong to any of the churches he criticise so none is an authority unto him. He doesn't worship under any of them so all your quotes can't be applied to him because they are not his authority. Funny enough people like you insult politicians and government officials which the bible was actually talking about but once it's "your God of man", you start turning bible upside down. The bible is not against correcting those that are wrong, what it's against is judging others when you are also committing that same offence/sin. Even the bible teaches us to test all spirits and Jesus rebuked the Pharisees and the saducees, will you say he sinned for doing that?

Shouldn't Jesus be our role model?
What do you think Jesus will do if he was here in flesh and lives in Nigeria seeing all these Sadducee/Pharisee kind of " men of god" around?

What will Jesus do?

Your answer to this last question should surely show us the teachings you follow.

Be it of Jesus or that of yourself.

djon78:
OK let me give you some lecture:

Government Authority: Romans 13 from verse 1 to 7, it also highlighted on paying of taxes etc.

13 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. 4 For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.
6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. 7 Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

For Husband in the home: Ephesians 5 vs 22 and 23

22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

Then for spiritual leaders:

1 Chronicles 16 vs 22 Touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm" is a serious waring GOD gave concering his anointed.

Those who did it in the scriptures :

1. Numbers 12, miriam and Aaron criticised moses for marrying against God's commandment of not marrying a heathen, they were right, Moses married an Ethiopian Woman.

2. Korah and His people against Moses:Numbers 16

3. Absalom rebels against David 2 Chronicles 15,
Shimei curses David 2 Chronicles 16 vs 5 to 14

5 David was near the town of Bahurim when a man came out and started cursing him. The man was Shimei the son of Gera, and he was one of Saul’s distant relatives. 6 He threw stones at David, at his soldiers, and at everyone else, including the bodyguards who walked on each side of David.
7 Shimei was yelling at David, “Get out of here, you murderer! You good-for-nothing, 8 the Lord is paying you back for killing so many in Saul’s family. You stole his kingdom, but now the Lord has given it to your son Absalom. You’re a murderer, and that’s why you’re in such big trouble!”
9 Abishai said, “Your Majesty, this man is as useless as a dead dog! He shouldn’t be allowed to curse you. Let me go over and chop off his head.”

10 David replied, “What will I ever do with you and your brother Joab? If Shimei is cursing me because the Lord has told him to, then who are you to tell him to stop?”

11 Then David said to Abishai and all his soldiers:

My own son is trying to kill me! Why shouldn’t this man from the tribe of Benjamin want me dead even more? Let him curse all he wants. Maybe the Lord did tell him to curse me. 12 But if the Lord hears these curses and sees the trouble I’m in, maybe he will have pity on me instead.
13 David and the others went on down the road. Shimei went along the hillside by the road, cursing and throwing rocks and dirt at them. 14 When David and those with him came to the Jordan River, they were tired out. But after they rested, they[c] felt much better.

So what happened to two of them:

Absaloms judgement 2 Chronicles 18 vs 9 to 14

Shimei 1 kings 2.


Finally many people because of ignorance bring perdition to themselves. God is not a man, God doesn't Judge or Look as man. God's ways are far much higher than mens ways. That is why Men must fear God. Even the Pastors, Presidents or rulers and husbands that goes against God's ways and misuses the Authority He gave to them, God also Judges them. Because God is merciful and compassionate, He gives the abuser long rope to repent and change, when they don't His Judgement then comes.

We humans are not like God, there has been times when I have seen faults, issues, serious offenses from higher authorities or even people under me, and I easily gets irritated and frustrated I expect God to do something but guess what God shows me my own faults I did, and how he was patient with me till I corrected myself. That is when I began to learn one of God's nature which is patience. To be patient with people, because as God is working in my Life, patient with me, correcting me, so He is working
In other people's Lives. But the Judgemental hypocrites, feeling they are holier than thou, while they are even worse off, with so many undressed issues in their lives will start judging others. Jesus. Told us do not Judge, that you should first remove Beam or Log from your own eyes before you remove the speck from your brothers eyes. They will easily see the speck in their brothers eyes but can never look at the Log in their own eyes.

So foreigners can't attend a Nigerian church?

How far is Cameroon to Calabar? Use your head ma.

Missonas:
Receipt says Cameroun. Is Joseph a Camerounian? Dont want to believe Nigerians gullibility reach that one oh

That I know. fed approved marriage certificate is what makes a white wedding valid.

Dalby:
If you do a whit wedding in a church that is not registered to perform a union, you are legally not married. So a white wedding anywhere is not a yard stick to say you are married. Find out if the church is registered legally to conduct marriage!!!

And you think it's not possible after what happened during his last marriage?

femi4:
Freeze will do court/trad and you wont see it on social media

Which bible told you notto speak out against selected people? Can you quote the chapter and verses?

djon78:
My dear better tell them, they don't know. The shocking thing with the Numbers 12 story was that Miriam and Aaron were right because God told the Isrealites not to marry the heathens and Moses married an Ethiopian woman. So Moses was wrong oo, but still they were Judged by God.


What people don't understand is that God honours authority be it spiritual authority(your pastors), Government authority(your president), or home authority (the husband in the home). That is why you must respect these authorities. That is why I may not like our president Muhamadu Buhari, but I can never speak evil . Curse him, because He represents God's Authority over Nigeria till 2019, when another takes his place or not.

Can you prove this without referring us to a blog? Show us audio or video evidence that the woman is not separated or dirvorced legally.

Dalby:
You know what I dont understand about this guy that claims to know the bible so well, what verses he uses to justify staying with a woman, who is not officially divorced from the husband with whom she had 3 kids for. He now has a child with her outside of wedlock
We really are in perilous times

Do you know if they have legal papers binding them as partners or must he do "white" wedding you call church wedding before you see him as married?

femi4:
Don't you get it, he wasn't remorse about it. Infact, he was flaunting it on social media.

I noticed that majority of those condemning Freeze are women, is it because he's trying to make you lot think/reason which is quite difficult for most women?

Dianeetdiana:
nonsese sneeze or is it freeze

Sensible men, please do not marry a religious woman, she's going to turn your home upside down and turn your children to zombies who can't think for themselves.

Religious women are dangerous and will expose your home to all manners of dangers

Is church meant to amuse or entertain you? I see why we have more entertainers as pastors nowadays. The demand is just too overwhelming so why won't a charterlan open a church to quench a thirst like yours?

ivolt:
What is wrong with comedians?
There is a reason why Catholic and Anglican church keep losing
their members to pentecostals: nobody wants a boring church!

They serve you guys junks because most of you are shallow and junk lovers.

They are only supplying demands!

You will never find any of their junks on my phone, laptop or deck.

No, he hasn't, he doesn't have a design peculiar to him, until then, he's currently trading which is not a bad idea but not the best idea.

I am currently working on creating something peculiar to me, not easy but the end result should be worth it.


Many can trade but few can invent/create.

imustsaymymindo:
He has created something. The online cobbler and branding idea you gave too is also saturated. Check online and research.

Being different does not neccessarily mean being distinct with branding, you can be different with how you go about your business operations, your customer service experience etc and that you can not judge with just seeing pictures of OP's business.

Meaning he should think of how to connect with all local coblers, get them to design and make some certain style of shoes to his own taste, then pay them and showcase in his shop. Open a website too and have an online store. Reach out to farther customers, promote his own brand while using locally sourced labor/materials.

Ymodulus:
This business is akin to a day to day kiosk where one opens a mini store and claims he owns a business.

In business of these nature, people will only be happy for you on the first week and second week after then you begin to questions investment and slow pace of sale and on going.

Business of these nature do not spur growth they kill growth and innovation.

I expected O.P to add more to his ideas and promote it. A business where you can't give a projected estimate of where you did be in a certain period of time is not a business.


There are several ways he can reform his business still based on the shoes but now a different idea entirely.


What the O.P just did in all honesty is create another Shop on the streets without solving a problem.....


Some time two months ago while I was at a summit outside the country, a man said Nigerians have tons of entrepreneurs but they all lack one thing.- The ability to tell you what the problem their business are addressing.


If the O.P can state problem is business is addressing and work on this well he can succeed well.


Oh some might say capital is needed. Capital shouldn't be a problem, the idea is.




Thanks

Also work towards supplying other shoe stores both within the state and outside. Give his footwares a name. With time, employ coblers and pay them directly while deciding the kind of wares they make.
