Good food, be positive towards his dreams and ambition and most importantly great sex

I was brought up to believe in the Christian faith. My parents – particularly my mum – love God and the church. We were brought up to believe in the values of the church, live in the ways of Christ and the commandments of God.

Growing up in Nigeria, I have seen beyond doubt that religion has become a scam. The worship of self-acclaimed men of God is truly the only thing that has the semblance of real worship in today’s Nigeria. Men whose lives are supposed to showcase the true ways of Christ are now interested in fame, wealth and power which, according to the doctrines of the bible, are distractions of this world.

Most people see it as a sin to criticize pastors, bishops, deacons, and the rest of them in the church leadership because they have achieved “sainthood” for owning a church and preaching the “gospel”.
Without mincing words, the church and its leaders which are supposed to be seen as the conscience of the nation are yet to live up to that expectation.

Of the 66 books of the bible, there exists one which is called the “Acts of the Apostles”. It is a history of how the apostles appointed by Jesus took his word from “Samaria to Judea and to utmost parts of the earth”. The apostles left their comfort zones into presumed enemy territories to preach the gospel, they didn’t sit in their homes and ask their followers to fast and pray for the gospel to get to the utmost parts of the earth, they “Acted”. They walked, rode on donkeys and sailed on canoes. They acted!

The bible documents that Jesus spoke against evil authorities. He didn’t offer them special prayers, he didn’t accept tithes and offerings from them and just went his way. He spoke against them in public. Jesus Christ was a true revolutionary even till the very end!

Very many years ago, Reverend Martin Luther King Jnr rose against racism; he led 250,000 black Americans on a protest against racism. He didn’t ask them to fast, pray and pay tithe; he acted to save generations unborn. He wasn’t intent on seeking opportunities to dine and wine with the rulers of the period so they’d offer him import waivers or oil blocks. Because of this, very many years later, a Black man is the president of the USA, the leader of the free world! All this happened because a “Man of God” acted! He was a revolutionary, like Jesus.

During the fuel subsidy period, our religious leaders, save a few, refused to side with the Nigerian people against a government determined to keep enslaving them. They kept quiet and asked us to pray to God for divine provision; they refused to side with us.

My dad once told me that, as a kid, Christian missionaries came to his Dad (my grandfather, that is) begging him to allow his children come to their school free of charge. He proceeded to Abeokuta Grammar school where Reverend Kuti was principal, free of charge. He later got a scholarship to study abroad. The church paid all through!

What do we have today? Churches ask members to contribute for the building of church operated universities. Yet after completion, about 80 percent of the same church members who contributed won’t be able to afford the tuition fees.

Pastors, bishops and reverends drive big cars, live in mansions and have billions of naira in their bank accounts while majority of their congregation live in abject poverty. Some of us who dare speak against this lifestyle are tagged blasphemous.

The church, like the entire Nigerian establishment, needs a complete overhaul.
Except a few true religious leaders like Bishop Akinola, Nigeria has majorly a group of money-seeking, fame-obsessed jet-flying fellows who like intimidating the rest of us with the bogus title, “Men of God”!

PapaBrowne: Why is Lagos always using interlocking stones to build roads? Is there scarcity of bitumen in the state??

cheaper maintenance, cheaper to deploy, fixing it engages more personnel and indigenous/small-scale businesses as opposed to bitumen that makes use of heavy machineries(usually imported) n less personnel .....thats wt i think but hey what does a small boy know

now we know its because ur boss wants to yansh u coupled with salary reduction. sincerely it depends on the kinda person u are. but if i were u i would manage d job and be as professional as possible while i look for another. That's d best i can think of. However there are other options, u might choose to resign while u hunt for another job. U might also give in to oga's request n negotiate a very juicy salary for ursef. It all depends on ur aspirations and what u are willing to sacrifice for what

actually it is only a fool that will call this dude a scam, if u cant see what he is trying to achieve then shut d Bleep up and stop spoiling his business. my brother i just started a laundry in abuja and i must confess i have learnt from this ur post how to get more marketers and make them deliver more while they earn more.

lets discuss off camera. u av some attributes i look out for in ladies

A lot has been said about Robin Van Persie's move from arsenalFC to a rival club manchester united which is still subject to the player passing a medical examination (i wonder if any player has ever failed pre-transfer medicals). One thing is certain, all the parties involved must have critically analyzed and assumed that the move will be of benefit to them. How do u see the deal, who appears to be the loser, who appears to be the greatest beneficiary. is it arsenal, manchester united or robin van persie himself?
My thoughts: To be frank getting bucks in d neighbourhood of 25m pounds for a 29yrs old is enough consolation for Arsenal. Giroud should make at least a decent striker-15epl goals shouldn't be a mountain too high for him to climb. the key to arsenal's success in 2012/2013 would be holding on to Alex Song. For ManUtd, great move. strengthening ur squad while u weaken an opposition(killing 2 birds with a stone) , i just hope fergie realizes dat 30goals magic from their new bride is not feasible. For RVP, since 2004, dis is d closest he has ever gotten to winning a trophy(not talking emirates cup). he should expect less playing time but certainly more success.

good music with with superior quality skunk

antitpiah: Look at the girl for instance . . . Isnt she fat? There is Obesity in her future somewhere and maybe diabetes, which of course will lead to amputation of her extremities. She may not enact her poor prognosis as exactly as i have stated; however, there is no denying the fact that she is not a miss universe material. . . not now, not in the future, and no amount of plastic surgery can change that.

u are obviously retarded, jealous, a saddist, bitter, never-do-well, immature, i mean plenty negative adjectives to sum ur personality. u reflect so much negativity and hate, and dats a pointer to how ur life is drifting. With this ur post u r obviously beyond redemption. I pity people around u, bitterness is contagious
