Hi guys,
I'm seriously considering leaving my job cus its very tasking and also drains my energies, giving me no extra time to do something on my own. Besides, I've worked in this multinational firm for 12 years as a contract employee and there seem to be no future there for these categories of workforce. I have a tourist visa to US and Canada, ....have thought about relocating but that doesn't sound like a good option considering that I have four kids and a wife to look after, so what kind of biz can you guys suggest for me to do with about 4-5m? I don't plan to stay in this job up to six months. Would have loved to leave immediately if I have a better alternative. I live and work in Lagos Island.

Your candid response would be appreciated.

Here are six things you need to know about Lumos Mobile Electricity powered by MTN, the pay-as-you-go solar home system otherwise known as the Yellow Box.

1. The service is called Lumos Mobile Electricity powered by MTN. You can enjoy 24/7 electricity from the system by making small, convenient payments from your MTN mobile phone.

2. How to join the service:
Walk up to any MTN store nearest to you with your registered SIM card, ID Card (National, Voters, International Passport or Driver’s License), and an initial N26, 000 set up fee and a minimum of 20 days payment and usage term which can be combined from a list of payment plans.

3. How much you pay per day, week, and month for consumption:

5 days (N200 per day = N1000), 10 days (N180 = N 1,800), 30 days (N150 = N4, 500), 90 days (N140 = N12, 600), 180 days (N130 = N23, 400), 365 days (N128 = N 46,720).
The monthly payment plans are paid via your mobile phone, and which you must credit regularly in order to reach the minimum usage terms required by the service. A minimum of 20 days is required to be paid monthly, whether you use the system or not, this applies even if you credit more than 20 days the previous month. If the minimum usage terms per month are not met, the system will automatically lock.

4. Who is eligible to get the system?

Anyone who either lives off grid, or lives within existing grid but have inadequate power supply and seeks an alternate electricity supply. Anyone who wants to power basic appliances, TV, Fans, Light bulb, Laptop, Decoders. Small businesses -Barbers, Pharmacists, Make over shops, and Groceries.

5. The eventual ownership cycle:

It will take until 1800 days of consistent payment, usually within 5 years to take complete ownership of the Lumos mobile electricity system.

6. Coverage:

While coverage is anywhere you have MTN service, optimum service is however available in Lagos, Abuja, Niger, Nasarawa, Kogi, Kaduna, Kano, Kastina, Zamfara, Plateau, Gombe, Oyo, Ondo, Kwara, Jigawa, Kebbi, Sokoto ,Bauchi, Abia, Anambra, Delta, Edo, Ebonyi and Imo.

Another giant stride by MTN or what do you think

I need help on the kind of business to start in Lagos... Am planing to relocate to Lagos bt don't have any idea what to do... I don't like salary jobs... Any wit help?

Matoni:
As the business developer for EXECUTIVE MOBILE TOILETS im excited to share this message with you all. The ultimate goal is to connect with interested people ready to Earn N3000 just for referring clients and N2000 Lifetime passive commission on subsequent transactions with the client.

Allow me break this down further...

At EXECUTIVE MOBILE TOILETS, we rent out our mobile toilets for outdoor events and functions. Events like birthdays, weddings, burial ceremonies, trade fairs, church crusades, exhibitions, etc. We also supply toilets for construction sites for a duration of three months and above.

We've been serving Lagos Ibadan and Ogun State for 4 years now. We've successfully deployed our toilets at numerous weddings, birthdays, burials, and other notable organizations like churches, schools, and Lagos state government.
The quantity of toilets we rent per event depends on the expected number of people but at in the least, we do a minimum of two units (a pair) of toilet per event; one male, one female.

SO HERE'S THE DEAL
If you have any person or company that's interested in renting mobile toilets for their event, talk to them and when they eventually patronise us, you are guaranteed to get N3000 as commission.

That's not all! Subsequent transaction from that client earns you N2000 commission per pair of toilet

Does your church organize yearly crusades? This is a big catch for you! You could make up to half of a million Naira (N500,000.00) just referring us and without any other task.

Do you have connection with trade fair organizers? You will also be smiling to the bank every year or everytime an exhibition is organized.

You can also effortlessly earn some good commission once, twice or thrice weekly if you know any open field in your area that people rent for events

Remember, its Three thousand Naira (N3000) commission (per pair of toilet) for every referral that patronises us the first time, and two thousand Naira (N2000) every other time that same client patronises us (per pair of toilet).

Interested persons should kindly signify their interest.

D money should reflect in ur konga pay account. U just need to use it for other transaction like subscription of dstv or Gotv.

I have not posted in a while but if you have followed my previous posts, you would know that I used to attend Christ Embassy Church, even though I had reservations about some of their teachings. I finally left the church, phew!
I will use this thread to explain why I quit the church and why I may never attend another Pentecostal/Charismatic church which now appears to me like a sole proprietorship, with the General Overseer or lead pastor as the owner.

1. Excessive premium on Giving money

In Christ Embassy the number one thing they lay emphasis on is giving money. The church can use any tactic to get money from members, including manipulation, threats and the likes. While there is nothing wrong with giving money or time, I believe everything should be balanced and moderate. I think that was why St Paul said we should not give out of target, or threat but as we decide in our heart. In CE, there is nothing like moderation or balance when it comes to giving. They tend to believe literally that everything answers to money. You don’t have a job, give and sow seed. You are infertile, give and sow seed. Your father is sick, give and sow seed. Every message ends with a charge to give money. They collect tithes, offerings, partnerships (money), seeds (more money), first fruits (your whole income in January) and plethora of others.

You are also charged to give for Pastor Chris’s birthday and for all the other pastors. And for projects and the likes too.

Before I started worshipping with the Church, I read the story of the account clerk at the Sheraton Hotel who stole from his employers to give to the church. As a member, I could relate with the man. The Church is obsessed with money. They do not mind how or where you get it. If you want to rise or be noticed or win awards, just give big money. It is this obsession with money that led it to start collecting gate fees from members for its New Year Service at the LoveWorld Convocation Arena in Lagos, which ironically was built by the offerings of the members charged to get in. A lot of people I know personally had gone broke, had their businesses ruined, or fallen out with a loved one because of this teaching by the church.

In summary, at CE, money is everything- EVERYTHING.

Marchman:
3. Pastor Chris is the orthodoxy
In CE, Pst Chris is the standard; he is the orthodoxy of the word of God. He is in fact treated like God. His words are law. He could cancel engagements, delay marriages and, in my mother’s language, can do and undo!
Everything revolves around him. He has limitless powers and not inhibited by anything.

And what do they say about absolute power corrupts absolutely?

Exactly what you have in the church. No one dares challenge him. In a godly environment, there should have been some enquiry in to the crisis of his marriage with the objective to mend the issues. But no one dares even raise such issues. People like Joe Agbaje are prepared to lie for him. I recall a time when the issue of PST Chris living separately from his wife came up here, Joe Agbaje defended him, claiming that the couple see often and even go on romantic get-away. It was not true. To all intents and purpose, the man abandoned his wife and family in London while gallivanting around the world with his concubines. This was wrong, but who could challenge the KING? The man had also warned members never to discuss pastors and that they should run away where such matters are being discussed. What you have is a situation where people are so afraid to even consider the allegations against him, so as not to be consumed by fire! SMH!!!

With such a context, the man can get away with anything, including polygamy. He can rewrite the bible, claiming that some portions or verses were not clearly written. He can do ANYTHING, and the staunch members and the pastors would defend him. I mean ANYTHING.

They deify him, call him the ‘Jesus in white suit,’ ‘the Jesus of our time’ and such heresies.
Two personal experiences really got me worried.

A. I was in church one day when a leader in a talk show said, “Pst Chris is not only in Ikeja or Lagos. His spirit is even here right now’’. I was shocked by the comments and obvious deification of a mere mortal. But when the pastor came up, he did not rebuke the speaker or said anything about it. I left for home, thinking hard: What has happened to these people?
B. Th other one was during prayer. The person leading the prayer asked us to pray so that the message of PST Chris will take over the world. Message of Pst Chris? I asked myself. I thought we came there because of the gospel/message of Christ? Does Pst Chris have a different message? Of course, I didn’t participate in that prayer but I was shocked that no one saw anything wrong in this, which validated my growing belief that the church was veering out of the Christian lane into something else.

I will stop here for now. But if challenged by the minions of the church, I have more arsenals. Good day and God bless you.

harry41:
I believe everyone is entitled to their opinions. However, I also think it's wrong to make a generalisation without having all the facts.

Your first point about giving is noted but those who give aren't complaining or not seeing the results of their giving. In the bible, it was recorded in many instances that some people gave their all to a course whether in the old or new testament. You give according to the measure you want. Nobody forces you to give above your means. God sees ur heart remember? And I know that in CE it has been said several times that you can give whatever you have.


On your second point, CE talks about sin but that isn't the church's main focus. The church teaches that if you focus on the word of God, you will learn to live above your fleshly desires. Focusing on sin isn't even scriptural. Please refer to Roman 6-8. CE never glorifies sin. Go and listen to his messages there are several of them on sin and living by the spirit. Furthermore, I find it amazing how ppl just want to believe the wrong things. The issue of masturbation which many have misconstrued is sad. The other pastors on the panel talked expressly on how to overcome masturbation which shows the church doesn't endorse it. Secondly, pastor Chris went further to say that it is not a sin but a habit. He said when you treat it as a habit, it breaks the power over you. Masturbation is a habit and can be overcome.

Lastly, it is contained in several verses of the bible that there's a gospel according to saint Paul, St Peter and so on. So I don't think when they say pst chris's msg that they mean something different or heresy.

I believe everybody should have a relationship with God and seek him personally then by his spirit you can discern rightly.

Thanks

bigtt76:
Toh! You've said it all. The Church today has become an avenue of theatrical acts and followers hip rather than fellowship. The pastor's word supercedes God's word these days hence we now have pastors being called daddy or mummy.

Their photographs now are a source of protection to our homes or properties. It has become the equivalent to the mark of blood God directed the Israelite to have on their door posts while preparing to leave Egypt.

We blame a religion that kill in the name of their God but the truth is some church members would do same not for their God but their pastors.

Na wa for some people o..When badoo cultist group were killing innocent people in Ikorodu,they are the first to come to this platform to tell us they can't live in Ikorodu.

Now Ikorodu people have summoned courage to stop badoo cultist group,still they are saying the suspects are innocent souls.

Do you think the security guys are fools that they don't know badoo guys?....There are enough evidences that they are badoo guys before giving them Jungle justice.

engrrichie92:
what if;
just what if they were innocent?
or do they write badoo on their foreheads?

it could just be another innocent exuberant youth coming back from a night club
just thinking out loud, because it will just be terrible if they were innocent and murdered unjustly
reason we should not take laws into our hands to eliminate such possibility

I really hope not anyways; God bless ikorodu
God bless Nigeria
