This is a very important question. I've taken time to read every comment, just a few with all due respect comes close to the right and very correct answer. Before you start abusing me/calling me names and throwing all sorts of argument, do well to type on the Google search " what can render a court marriage null and void in Nigeria? ". Or Try to get the customary court/marriage edicts.
Now to the main Koko, Have you ever wonder why matters like court marriages and divorce are conducted in a customary court? It's because customary courts are the closest to the culture and tradition of the people, this means it has jurisdiction over such cases which are usually considered based on the customs and traditions of the people under the court jurisdiction ( this ofcourse may not apply in some cases if the courts deems it right to come to her decision on other bases like human rights issues or in this scenario, the court may turn her back on the custom of the people, Also in a marriage between a Nigerian and a foreigner, the court may not lay emphasis on whether the bride price is paid or not since it's possible that payment of dowry may not be a requirement in the country of the woman, e.g a Nigerian man wedding his American lover in a Nigerian customary court for Japa🤣, does Americans pay dowry? No!). Now talking about what can render a marriage conducted in a customary court null and void, I will only treat one point.
During the contraction of a court marriage, one of the question the oath administer asks is " Have you paid the dowry of miss .........? Have you satisfied the customs and traditions of her people in relation to marriage? if your answer are yes, you will be asked the full date that was done, that is the dowry payment or traditional marriage rites ". Note- The format of the question may be twisted, i.e it may not be exactly as how I asked it, but it usually carries the same context and message which is to certify that you have paid the bride price of the woman you want to wed in the court.
Now, let's imagine you have not paid the dowry, and your answers to this questions is yes, do you know what crime you have commitment? PERJURY!
Yes, perjury is a crime and it is a valid point to render a court marriage null and void. So, if payment of dowry or bride price is not important/a condition and requirement to be met before court marriage, why would the oath administer ask those questions?
Many are saying here they or people they knew married without paying bride price, this is very possible because they probably lied to the marriage oath administer that they have paid the bride price.
Presence of parents or family members is not a requirement, only Witnesses which could be anyone is required, so don't mistake this.
Mind you that the customary court is following after the customs of the people under her jurisdiction, this means that, what is legal here might be illegal else where.
But generally, the marriage edicts covers all the regions in Nigeria, whilst you can be legally married in other parts of the world without paying dowry, in Nigeria, court marriage requires the payment of dowry, that's what qualifies the couples to be wedded in Nigerian customary courts.
Note: My use of customary courts refers to marriage registry. While the registery conducts the marriage, it's under the jurisprudence of a customary court.

It's Obvious Your Marriage Is shaking.
You talked much about your wife's bad side, but didn't mention her good sides.
Bro, For every problem as such as you mentioned, there are reasons behind them.
It takes two to tango, Since you said things wasn't like this at first, could u go back to the drawing table, to pinpoint when these changes began, what role u played?
And I want to warn you, don't heed to those telling u to get a side chick, they are agents of the devil. Do you know how it ends, Every extra marital affairs ends in shame, disgrace, and sorrow. We have lots of reference cases. So avoid that because it's like a man digging his own grave.
Lastly, You and your wife needs Christ. A Marriage that lacks the presence of God is just a house built on top of sand, without a proper foundation. It's bound to collapse someday.
Many will attack my assertions here because they are carnally minded and do mind the things of the flesh. Real men love Christ and their wives are subject to them because they are guided by the spirit of God. As such, even the scriptures gave instructions concerning the marital sex relationship. So if the presence of God is missing/lacking in your marriage/home, both of you cannot obey the instructions as contained in scriptures concerning sex in marriage.
If the presence of God is on your marriage, you will always point your wife to her duties as commanded by God and she will agree with the word of God, likewise, she will point out to you your duties as her husband as commanded by God and you will obey, and peace will continue to reign.
So you see, there's already a vacuum in your marriage, and I guess it has to do with the foundation of the Marriage. Either you guys married outside the will of God, or one of you went astray along the line.

Kobojunkie:
There is absolutely no reason for this epistle to nowhere which seems to argue against the Word of God, Jesus Christ, in favor of that fed you by men. It's not by force to believe in Jesus Christ. As a matter of fact, Jesus Christ said He was sent by His Father only to those who are of the Lost sheep of Israel, so even He made it clear that He is not for everyone. So, it's ok to adopt the claims of men just don't think you can change the Truth of God as a result.

Your spiritual blindness, ignorance and stubbornness is startling.
What you called " Claim ", I actually showed you in scripture.
So the Holy Bible is lying then?
Have I said anything outside the scripture? No, yet you chose to argue, and besides, in all your assertions and believe, you failed to bring out any scripture that my adopted claim as you call it contradicts.
Have a nice day, God through me I've shown you enough Grace, but you have rejected it. So on judgement day, you will have only but yourself to blame if you don't make it, which isn't my prayer for you.
You see, I'm open from both of us edifying one another and that's why I gave you my WhatsApp number. Shalom!

Kobojunkie:
1. The story was a parable told by Jesus Christ. If you read to I believe Verde 29 or so, Jesus Christ makes it clear that all that everyone needs know of is the Law to decide...no one will be sent back even from the dead to warn the living of what is to come.

2. It is not OK to say He gave you the narration. You need to Pay close attention to the message He gives to you by it.

3. Jesus Christ is the same one who told you that but seems you don't pay much attention to what He actually says as you seem more interested in the lies that men feed you. The same Jesus Christ said to His followers that He would go prepare a place for them in His Father's house, and He would eventually come back to take them with Him meaning that even the disciples are still in their graves waiting for Jesus Christ to return.

4. Funny thing is the person that wrote that verse did not use the word "immediately" which you have conveniently inserted to make your lie seem more palatable to your eyes, I guess.

You know something, you are beating about the bush,as I read no meaning to your point 1, 2 and 3.
When you go through the scripture, you will see that all the parables Jesus told was referred to as parable. You will see something like " He told them a parable, or He taught them using a parable, e.g Luke 15:3 And he spake this PARABLE unto them, saying.
Parables are wise stories told or used to teach people, most of this stories could be fictions, and those other parables or stories as we may choose to call it Jesus never mention names of people, this proves those are stories, but in the case of Lazarus and the rich man, you see Jesus calling names, Abraham was there as a name and known personality, Lazarus too,and the the rich man which at the time the name was not given , this shows you that this was an actual event that took place , not fiction, and the event in paradise and hell indeed took place but the physical eye can not see, and Jesus gave us the narration of the event because He's supernatural, He's a Spirit and is aware of all things that happened in the human realm and the spiritual realm.
This revelation by Jesus proves of the existence of a place of rest and a place of torment, it also throws light on what happened to the soul when a man dies, it's the body that lies in the grave as you said, but the soul has already been judged and reward given, this is where after death comes judgement.
I added the "immediately" to bring it attention to the line of events following the death of any individual,not that the writer added immediately.
Through the scriptures we have come to know that once a person is dead and buried, no going back, even with any message to the living, as seen in the conversation that took place btw the rich man and Abraham, nevertheless, if a person dies and has not been buried, as the soul wandered off to the other side of eternity, God in his infinite mercy may decide to give the person a tour of heaven and hell just as was written in Isaiah 66:24 and send the soul back to the body, so that this person will tell of the wonders, the judgement of God, so that men shall have referencial fear for the Lord.
In this our time, God is doing this out of his mercy and love for mankind, for it is not the will of God that any man should perish. Is just like lecturers telling you what questions to expect in it exams because they want you to pay attention to the topics highlighted so that no student will fail. If after all this, any student fail, who will they blame? This is the same thing God is doing in our generation today.
The devil has blinded folded many people like you, with the arguments that no one can see hell or heaven and come back to tell what they see, so that all men should be in ignorance and keep living their live as they are living it.
If God declare my people perish for lack of knowledge, what makes you think He won't do anything including taking people to hell and bringing them back to cure people's ignorance.
I'm not forcing you to believe, feel free to believe whatever you want, but stop calling others lairs for believing what they chose to believe.
You said lies of pastor Rika, yet you failed to name one and prove it with scripture why it is and should be seen as lie.
Let me tell you why I follow him, his teachings and God's doctrines he teaches us, because, we prove everything by scripture as seen in the scripture, Acts 17:11
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
2 Corinthians 11:4
For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

Galatians 1:9
As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
We have seen he is not preaching any other gospel or any other Christ, and his teachings are biblically based on bible principles and doctrines.
This is why I am sure that he is of God and not a liar.
I admonish to take your time , listen to at least 3 of his messages, and point out the errors or lies you see in them, using the scripture as your judgement meter/guide.
You can chat me up on WhatsApp if it's convenient for you.

Kobojunkie:
1. Rika is a liar, and none of the scriptures you quoted provide support for what she or any of the many others who follow the same template claim of their supposed visits to hell and heaven.

2. Rika contradicts Jesus Christ in that most everything she claims is sin is not according to that decreed by Jesus Christ. She is lying and nothing of Jesus Christ can come from lies.

3. Where in scripture did God tell you this? Do you even realize that there are currently no souls in Heaven or in Hell even as we speak?

4. I am afraid what you claim to see is all from your imagination. There are no people going to Hell and coming back. Instead there are conmen and women claiming they have only to come back spewing lies and deceit which they hide behind the name of Jesus Christ, against Jesus Christ mind you. There is an established pattern too to this behaviour as well.

Margaret confessed she lied does not mean there are true cases out there. She is one of the few who confessed is all.

5. Go back to the Gospel teachings of Jesus Christ so you can learn the Truth of God and be able to decipher the lies from God's Truth. Revelation are bound by God's Law, Jesus Christ, and He made it clear to all that no one will be sent back to warn anyone of the dooms of Hell. He also made clear that no one will enter into Heaven or Hell until after He has returned and judged the world. His disciples who died almost 2000 years ago are still in their graves waiting for Jesus Christ to return and judge them all and then usher them into Heaven or Hell. So what your Rika claims she saw was not of God nor of Jesus Christ.

Oh what a pity
You told me about the story of the rich man and Lazarus, where was Lazarus, and when was the rich man?
How you contradict yourself.
Was Lazarus ND the rich man lying in the grave as you claimed.
Good a thing it was our lord Jesus Himself that gave this narration. So who are you to tell us the dead is just lying in the grave. The bible said immediately, after death comes judgement.

Kobojunkie:
1. The parable Jesus Christ told regarding Lazarus and the rich man explains how her lie was more than apparent.

2. None of the passages you quote provide backing for the lie which she now admits to. So, I am not certain why you wish to make it true when she has admitted to it being a lie.

3. Spend more time reading through the Gospel teachings of Jesus Christ so you can better understand how and why a person cannot randomly visit Heaven or Hell.

It seems you hopped into the discussion.
1, My assertions are on sis.Linda not this particular woman.
2, the parable of Lazarus and the rich man didn't not cancel the above scriptures I pointed out to you.
3, if we are on same page about the revelation I'm talking about, is on s.s Linda not Margret Amure, then sis.Linda revelation does not in anyway contradicting my quoted scripture those.
4, God in His infinite mercy, said on that day He will took men and women down to hell to see people there, and bring them back to earth so that mankind will fear Him, that's what the above scriptures I quoted said.
So has God changed? You see this prophecy fulfilling today, yet you are saying it's not possible for anyone to go to hell and come back and tell the world what they see.
For every counterfeit there is an original, if Margret amure has confessed of lying, will it now be right to say every other person with revelation lied?
5. Pray for the Spirit of discernment. The bible siad test all Spirit.

That's not an impossibility.
With the bullion van politician, that's about 250 million, that's 5000 naira for each person.
After 25th Feb, APC at the federal level and tinubu will know that those crowd at his rallies were only there for their 5k.

Kobojunkie:
Her claim which is that she has been to hell contradicts scripture.

Can you show the portion of scripture that backed up your claims.
Meanwhile, see scriptures that backed up her testimony and revelations:
Sister Linda's encounter actually fulfilled this prophecies and portions of scriptures.

Isaiah 66:24
And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

Joel 2:28-29 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

In the new testament Acts 10:11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth.
This confirms humans can have live spiritual experience while their physical bodies is here on earth.
Like I said earlier, prove with scriptures how her revelations contradict scripture, and highlights the portion of scriptures her revelations contradicts.

Kobojunkie:
They are not giving their lives to christ but instead to a lie that is built around the story she told them.

You cannot bow down to a lie and Jesus Christ - Truth- at the same time.

To identify a lie, you must present the truth, so tell me the things she said that were contrary to scriptures.

Righteousness2:


I am not here to tell u who is God's sent!

What I know is that Linda and her confession was a from the Deep Pit of Hell.
I don't need a vision or prophet to tell me that.
She needs to Genuiely repent and redeem the souls that she destroyed with that .

People are repenting and giving their lives to Christ because of her testimonies and revelations, and you are here saying souls she destroyed.
Oya tell me what and which part of her revelation that goes against scripture.

I told you guys.

1. Senator Emmanuel Bwacha is a pastor, a child of God and member of Holiness Revival Movement.
2. Senator Emmanuel bwacha is the only Apc christian gubernatorial aspirant in the entire north east, and this is the reason why these evil people are pursuing him up and down.
3. Pastor Senator Emmanuel Bwacha was elected not appointed, neither the he pay bribe to get the ticket.
4. He left the PDP because of Darius the current taraba governor. The governor was persecuting him because the senator was not his choice, and the senator is running for gov because God asked him to, it's time to liberate taraba state.
5. The APC delegates voted massively for him because they knew he is the only person who can help the claim the state, mind you taraba has always been a PDP state, so to them, it's only someone from PDP or close to PDP that can achieve this for them.
6. Mark my word, Pastor Senator Emmanuel Bwacha is the next governor of Taraba State.
7. For all you doubting Thomas, the attached picture should tell you something
It's time up for Darius isiaku and his gang.

Senator Emmanuel Bwacha is a pastor and member of Holiness Revival Ministry Worldwide.
He will never support Muslim Muslim ticket both openly or secretly.
He is not your regular Nigerian politician. If indeed you are from Taraba state and indeed know the senator, you will know his relationship with pastor Paul Rika of Holiness Revival Minostry, then you will understand that these are two Holy men of God.

This is not necessary, your confession should be between you and God.

You only see everything wrong with this actions because you are ignorant about the doctrine of restitution. And why are you ignorant? Because you don't study your Bible. Restitution is scriptural and practiced both in the old and in the New Testament. And for you that says you don't know the kind of pastor preaching restitution and also you that says he only owes the confession to God and not to man, I don't blame you, rather I blame your pastor and the denominational church you belong to, because they are worldly carnal church, that only preaches the sweetest part of Christianity and will not show you the other side, how can they teach and practice what (restitution) they don't have? No one can give what they don't have. Can you eat eba in the morning and someone repeatedly beats you and ask you to vomit indomie, is their any kind or level of beating that will make you vomit indomie when it is eba you ate? Absolutely No!
Let's see scriptural backings to the doctrine of restitution
Exodus 22:1-15 (restitution in the Old Testament).
Leviticus 6:1-7 (Old Testament)
Luke 19:8-9(Restitution by zacheus in the New Testament).
Ecclesiastes 3:15
Proverbs 28:13
Judges 17:1-4
Philemon 1:1-18 (New Testament, pay attention to verse 18)
With the above clearly stated scriptures, we can see that restitution is not only scriptural but also practiced by the Saints and early Christian. The Word of God is Amen and Amen, and it changeth not.
Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.

really difficult sir because her husband will definitely send her out of the house after physically abusing her with beatings, he also know where i work and will certainly report this in my office and i'm sure to loose my job.

Restitution Is Scriptural. You owe your wife a big restitution.
Confess your sins to your wife and God.
Ask for their forgiveness.
As for the woman's husband, she is the one that owe him restitution not you, but you can still do it because you sinned against the man also.
You shouldn't be quick to defend her/protect her marriage. That's not a true sign of remorse and repentance. She and not just she but both of you should welcome the consequences, discipline and punishment that will come as a result of your sinful actions.

Righteousness2:
As long as she Confesses, Genuiely repents from her lies and Makes Peace with JESUS Christ, she is good to go.

It is Better to Confess, repent, make Peace with JESUS Christ , be insulted by men but be Embraced by JESUS Christ.

Than to mislead people in lies and End up in Hell Fire.

Bet9ja and other forms of gambling was not even mentioned.
However, when you talk about money gotten hastily, you see that gambling is not an exception.

OP dishonestly changed many of the verses to fit his agenda. if you don't believe me just Google each verse and see. for instance *Proverbs 13:11* doesn't say anything about "get rich quick"

I guess lying is okay, so long you're doing it for Jesus. isn't that what most preachers do anyways?

You Only show your high level of ignorance.
Keep disgracing your generation and deceiving your self.

Mr. Reno, can you link the fruitfulness of a tree to human attributes?
Is the pastor not bearing children?

Church growth? Financially or in population?

When some people left Jesus as he was preaching, did he drag them back? He even turned to the disciples and asked why they remained with him!

Winners must not mention money in that letter. Be fair, man.

I will never Defend living faith for personal reasons. I'm not their fan.
But in this case, many speaking up against them is only speaking against Christianity in general.
The later did mention " Growth ", it's only you people that is giving monetary interpretation to it. That's judgement by assumption which is wrong.
What would you do as a person, if you have a church of 300 members, and you placed a pastor over them, and after sometime, you audit(sorry for the choice of word) and then find out you have just 100 or less members left, no good explanations like deaths of members, relocation etc given to justify the decline or stagnancy. What will you do? What action will you take? Even in the secular world, is it not common sense to change the management of a company if they are not performing well?
Well, I'm happy for the poor growth shaa! It means Revival is truly taking place and holiness gaining weight, because the doctrines of these Pentecostal churches esp living fai5h and Christ embassy is taking many to hell.
