tpia1: unfortunately, the cognitive playing field is not level here, and i doubt those you're addressing can even comprehend your post.

just saying.

okeyxyz: Okay, So pastors are generating humongous amounts of money, buying private jets and living Luxurious lifestyles. So everybody is angry. For what? If I may ask..

But the fact is churches are private voluntary organisations. As long as there has not been any fraud(members have given out of their own convictions) or crime committed, then you just have to let them be. You believe their lifestyles are outrageous? well that is your own "outsider's" opinion. As far as we know, the overall memberships of these churches are quite happy that their pastors "live large" no matter how it offends you. That fact is they are not spending your money, they are not spending public(tax payer's) funds, It is their money and they have infinite right to spend as they wish.

And if you are calling for these funds to be taxed, then on what basis? Please educate us on what legal commercial laws are these taxes based? When a government moves to tax a transaction, it means they recognize and certify the "goods and services" rendered by such organization. It means there is a documentation of how these good\services are produced, who owns\is-responsible for them?, It means government must have a way to regulate the production, quality and commercialization of such goods\services. Ultimately the government will be responsible for the quality of these goods\services since it is also a beneficiary of the revenues through taxation.

So, How does government identify and quantify spiritual products(products of faith )? How do they define the standards and quality of spiritual products that the public consumes? Is there a government approved school or professional body that teaches, researches, monitors & regulates and documents them? what are the penalties for selling fake\sub-standard spiritual goods?(again, products of faith ).

It simply is not enough to cry "tax, tax, tax..", you must know what you are taxing, and ultimately you are responsible for what you are taxing.

lalaosky: no pun intended but this guy has gone nuts.sue the people that no one knows their hideout?...sue people that will blow you up from a thousand miles away?...this man fall my hand badly

emusmith: Rubbish!!! I spit... People buying the Jet for the Pastor...Have they come to you who haven't seen a jet to complain before The poor must always find an excuse why rich people shouldnt be rich! When the Pastor was fasting and praying, crying to God... you were flexing... Now God don open him way, you dey murmur! I don't buy the idea saying Pastors are extorting EDUCATED, MATURE HUMANS WHO CAN MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS!!! Some Politician give a BILLION NAIRA to a Poor Native Doctor, NOBODY COUGHS! A patient pay heavily to DOCTORS, they say its ok. Now members feel their PASTOR NEEDS A JET, and contribute out of their BLESSED POCKETS... You are there MURMURING... Just shut up please!!!

Fatdon: I feel sorry for GEJ, who is
trapped between the Western
Oil companies and Nigerians. He
is trying to free Nigerians from
the bondage of economic ruin,
yet all he gets is abuse from the Nigerians he is trying to help.
When the revolution comes, one
assured outcome will be the loss
of the Niger Delta and with it
the so called fuel subsidy. We
will learn, over the bodies of our neighbors, brothers, pregnant
wives and sisters how to think
clearly and know our real
interests.
No group of intelligent honest
people be they NNPC, FGN can go and forcefully steal oil from the
oil producing communities with
the help of the IOCs. Only
looters can do it over the
protests of MEND, the Ogoni,
Ikwerre, and other oil producing communities. These
looters FGN and the oil
companies will never, never ever
be honest with Nigerians. One
would think after the Farouk
Lawan saga that our people will learn the bitter truth about
the so called fuel subsidy.

nifemi01: how is that an intelligent question? Do u know how many lives were lost in WW1 and WW2?
Why would someone start a day thinking about another war?

Osheshe: Sometimes, its better to be silent and be thought a f00l, than to speak/write and be known as a f00l.

From your comment, you've made it plain to me that you don't reside in Warri or its environs. Yet your itchy fingers were quick to type rubbish, with the vain hope of getting multiple 'likes' on your comment.

Eagle Heights International School...that's the name of the 'church-owned' school that is contributing its fair quota to the education sector.

Eagle Heights Microfinance Bank...the 'church-owned' bank that supports fledgling business ventures.

Eagle Computer School...has trained thousands of youths to acquire necessary skills and certifications.

ISOM....the International School of Ministry that grooms people with the passion to serve God.

This MOG has personally trained hundreds of individuals up to Masters level...in various institutions within and outside Nigeria.

Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion....but please get your facts right! Stop peddling lies.

Tagging him a drug addict? I laugh in vernacular...you've snorted cocaine with him before?

Talking about his beards and intimate details concerning husband and wife? Wetin carry your mind go there? You need serious deliverance.

And the individual who said the MOG personally called for donations towards the jet purchase...haba! Get your facts right.

It tickles me to no end, how some peeps can just sit in the comfort of their homes, sipping on chilled juice/surfing through channels on their state-of-the-art home theatre systems/lounging on their bouncy foam mattresses and fluffy pillows/surrounded by the most luxury their pockets can afford, while uploading comments through expensive smartphones/laptops + modems + broadband/ipads and what not...to criticize someone.

I laugh in my native dialect....Practice what you preach! I'm sure most peeps who've commented on this thread turn a blind eye to the beggars/lepers/physically challenged around them...

A quick question...what have you done for the poor/needy/starving/flood victims/physically challenged/bomb-scare displaced people around you, and within the nation in the last seven (7) days?

*Deafening silence*

Can I buy a vowel?

egoldman: Deeper Life am sure have enough money to buy private jets for pastor kumuyi , why do you think he has not done that yet ? also why do you think kumuyi have not ordained himself bishop ? There are men of God and there are "MEN" of God .

futurehome: WHO TOLD YOU GOD CAN'T HELP THEM. WE CAN ONLY WISH BUT ITS GOD THAT CAN GRANT.
My advice is that train a child the way they should go (God fearing and putting their FAITH in HIM) Not their inexperienced selves or their friends.
