Though I am a Muslim but let's say the truth for once. There are more Christians than Muslims in Nigeria. Know this and know peace.
Imagine, 99.4% of Nigerians are either Christain or Muslim and yet the country is one of the most poor, corrupt and morally bankrupt countries in the world.

Meanwhile, 90% of Chinese consider themselves atheist and the country is one of the most prosperous and moral countries in the world.
What an irony.

Her first confession was under duress. It is impossible for a 21-year-old girl to kill a trained boxer
You have any evidence that she was put under duress? Are there signed of torture.
What kind of duress was she subjected to and by whom? The Police, reporters that questioned her or the "real killers" of Mr Ataga?

For you to allege duress in court, you will have to reveal what kind of duress it was and provide evidence.

See primitive reasoning. You are reasoning as if you still live in the dark ages.

Adakintroy:
As we progress down this lines of thoughts we will have to revisited our existing g laws what constitute fundamental truth.
Which fundamental truth? A very warped primitive fundamental truth.

All societies has their taboos. In Africans men vs men sexual acts constitutes a taboo. Weras in the west child sex and not men sex constitute taboos. Who is right and who is wrong. That's a matter of subjective reasoning.
Taboos change according to time, culture and enlightenment. In my culture, just 50 years ago, twins were a taboo and they were killed immediately after birth. Even in the west, gays were a taboo just 200 years ago. Marriage of pre-teen girls were the norm even within the aristocrats.

A man sleep with a 12yts old does not meet any criteria of rape or abuse. Not in the slightest bit. If he had sex with her, was it a willing act?, if he take her to the hospital and pays for the bills. Does that constitute an abusive act?..if so in what sense. How do we define an abuse. If he is still willing to take care of her and nuture her, we're is the " heart" of malevolonce?
You are truly a sicko. Maybe you were abused when you were 12 or less and delight to see other pre-teens suffer to feel good about yourself.

A 12 year old is mentally and physically immature to understand the rudiments of marriage, child bearing and child raising. It's like a new yam. It's just too immature to be eaten, no matter it's size. People have to wait for it to mature before they can cook and eat it.
I think we humans should be less rigid with our laws. If a girl can get pregnant at twelve it means nature and not the man has granted approval to her maturity. We are all strangely a servant to nature dictates. The subjective nature of things mean not all women mature at thesame pace or time. Some are approved earlier.
A girl getting pregnant at 12 put her life at great risk. Her body is not rope enough to withstand the trauma of child birth. Even her pelvic bone has not started expanding to accommodate the passage of a baby. Millions of girls die in the north as a result of VVF and other birth complications, but remain largely unreported. Governor Yerimah's Egyptian child bride died during child birth and it was not reported.

It is not subjective matter, it is an objective fact that girls (and boys also) are not mentally and physically prepared for child bearing.

The whole ideal that a woman should reach a definite definite age before sex act is permissive is just plain rationally primitive. A man should not go to jail or has his whole life taking from him for something as silly as that.
You are the primitive one here. Scientific evidence as well as historical evidence has shown that girls are not given the responsibility of adulthood until they reach at least 16 years of age.

To disable a card is different from CANCELLING a card. To cancel a card, you must be present in the bank
Disable, Cancel, the result is the same. The card cannot be used to make any transaction. If you disable a card, you will have to go physically to enable it. And I would not recommend re-enabling a card that has been compromised. If your card has been compromised, you might not have enough time to go to your bank before your account is wiped out.

Ladyhippolyta88:
They think they are being smart trying to undermine Biden's administration's vaccine push so as to campaign on it during the midterms they are only killing their supporters cheesy what a smart idea grin
The basic strategy of Trump and the Republicans was to weaponize the Covid pandemic to win the 2020 general elections.

Trump deliberately went around the country spreading the virus in rallies and super spreader events. He discouraged the use of masks and promoted miracle cures. He mocked Biden and the democrats for wearing masks and observing social distancing rules.

Everyone in Trump's orbit caught the virus. He knew he and his family and closest aids would not be killed as they had access the best medical care available. But his supporters were dying like flies in their hundreds of thousands. He then encouraged in-person voting and attempt to suppress mail-in and absentee voting.

He undermined the US postal service so that mail-in votes would not be delivered on time if it was delivered at all.

Lastly he the proposed the stupid suggestion that all ballots must be counted and winner declared on election night and that any ballot not not counted on election night should be voided. Elections had never been declared on election night in US history. Counting goes on for weeks if not months after every election as absentee ballots from overseas sometimes come in weeks after election night.

To make things worse, some Republican states enacted legislation that mail-in votes and absentee ballots should be counted after in-person voting has been counted. When then Trump was leading when only in-person ballots were counted only to be upturned when mail-in ballots started coming in, Trump and his cults followers started screaming fraud.

I think that Republicans are now realizing that the virus is decimating their poorly educated base and these are their most loyal supporters. They see that it would affect their numbers in the next election as the margins in key battleground states are razor thin. They are now promoting vaccines that they had antagonized for months. Meanwhile they and their families are fully vaccinated.
Should they not apologize for the thousands of uneccesary deaths first?

I personally don't pay my employees for unproductivity. Where will the GO pay him from. The Pastor has to work for his pay.
I will like to add that you are a bad businessman. Good businessmen don't bail out on their employees at the first sign of trouble. It will not build trust and loyalty between employer and employee. No business can expect to always be in profit not to talk of increase in productivity. Oyedepo's church business has existed for over 30 years and had made huge profit in the past. A few months or years of decreasing productivity will not kill his business.

During the lockdown in Nigeria which lasted about 2 months, I did not sack any of my staff of 6, and I paid them full salary even though they sat at home and there was no productivity at all. My staff are fiercely loyal to me.
Business and ethics, compassion and morals should go together.

This whole saga will have negative long term implication to Oyedepo's church business. Other pastors would learn that all the senior pastor cares about is "productivity" irrespective of conditions or situation, and does not care for their personal or even spiritual wellbeing. It might happen to them also anytime soon. So they would not be able to give themselves 100% to the business and will be looking for ways to secure themselves instead.

I have refused to go into the critique of Pastors and I will resist every attempt to do that. Let's just take it that he didn't achieve the church growth target and he was released/sacked. He should take his disappointment and find the brighter side of life.
Let ask you this question; would Jesus drive any disciple from his ministry because because they did not meet his growth target? I had thought Christianity means Christ Like and not Oyedepo Like

Your unit asking you for contributions 1500.
Is not a must you be in the department.
It was not a contribution. It was for a vest I was already given to enable me move around the church without being harassed by the security. When I was given the vest, I was not informed that I would have to pay. Later they started harrasing me that I owe the church N1,500.

Go back and tell your pastor. Let's apply for funds for the children church.
This incident happened about 8 years ago. I have never gone back to the church since. My still attends though.

I repeat no where in winners the local assembly undertakes a major project. Met your LCC. IT is a law the consequences is the pastor will be sacked
Maybe the law came in effect recently. In those days of "Double Double" they were collecting donations for everything - both minor and major. There was even a crisis when they told people to start paying N100 for the free transportation for Sunday services. Most people in my estate got angry and stopped attending winners then. The main pastor had to come to the estate to apologize to each member before some returned to the church.

The Local assembly must get an approval from the head quarters. Approval comes with release of funds.
As I said. This was my experience about 8 years ago. I would not know if things have changed.

Do you do more than one offering in a service apart from Thanksgiving offering once in a month?

This donation for the children church, is it offering done separately from the main offering.?
We did the main offering every sunday, then after that there was the children's church building offering. In addition they often asked people to donate building materials like cement, roofing sheets, etc.

Which branch of winners?
Ikorodu branch.

So who is now making stupid argument? Does it make sense to use the tithe paid by members of a hardworking pastor whose fruits are obvious for all to see and then use it to pay a pastor that has empty seats? If other pastors can work to bring people to the fold, why can't this pastor do same? Lazy People all over. Oyedepo pays every pastor so what is the argument that they are not using the tithe to pay the pastors working? What you are now saying is that they should also pay lazy pastors and if you believe the pastor's work is in heaven then heaven will pay him. You can't blame the pastor for that
Read my post once again and try and comprehend before rushing to take a bullet or strap a bomb for Oyedepo.
There is no where empty seats or lazy pastors were ever mentioned or discussed. The termed used was church growth index.

When God called the pastor, did he calling him to winners?

He should go and prove his calling. It must not be in winners.

The aspects of money. Ask anyone that attends winner's they will nerve emphasis money.

Is the only church that don't put anyone under pressure to give.

If any church lack anything just apply once approved the money will be released.

Every winners church have monthly impress. It is sent at the beginning of every month.

All workers are under a central payroll. It is not the duty of the local assembly to raise funds in winner's.

It is a taboo for a local assembly to raise funds it is forbidden.

If the church wants to build church, school, land or any other project. It is not the responsibility of the local assembly no member of the church is under pressure to donate. The head quarters mobilize the contractor to site.

This church is just unique.

Winner's transfer pastor every 2 - 3 Years. It improves effectiveness. As for the pastor sack there is more to it
Abeg dey lie small small now. Even Lai Mohammed no lie reach this.

My wife is a Winners member and in the beginning I followed her and the children to church to as support even though I do not even believe or like the church.

Not long after attending service regularly, i was asked to join the Publicity Unit. I was among those that took minutes of the pastors preaching for publication for the next bulletin.

Every Sunday they we always asking for one donation or the other. If its not the new children's church building donation, it would be to buy busses for the transportation unit. The first time I attended the publicity unit meeting I was forced to make a pledge. They were even using my apartment for the Saturday fellowships. In every meeting and fellowship we were required to make an offering. The last straw for me was when I was asked to pay N1,500 for the vest they gave me to identify me as a member of the publicity unit so I could walk around the church without any harassment from the security guys. I told them than I am using my resources and talent to serve the church free of charge and they expect me to pay for a vest I only use to do their job. I quit there and then. I told my wife that even though I love her and I will always support her, I would never step a foot it that church again.

Winners church exploit people to the fullest.

You will need to answer this question first. Who employs the pastor? God or Oyedepo? If it is God, God will pay him since only God can appreciate whatever he does. Only God knows how many souls he saved in heaven. If you are now saying it was oyedepo that employed.. where do you expect oyedepo to get money to pay him? Since this is purely God's work, I expect you to condemn the pastor that was sacked not the one that sacked him..He expects another man to pay him for doing God's work. Does that makes any sense to you? Finally, you are asking me for a quotation about pastors in the Bible....There were no pastors per see in the Bible. There were priests.....and they were paid from the tithes by members of the congregation not by salary from a senior pastor. Even in the New testament.....the members brought everything they had to the church so it was shared. Bottom line is that it is not possible to pay or feed a pastor according to the Bible without members. Now that the church is empty...why should the pastor be paid by a senior pastor? Show me a reference in the Bible where it was the senior pastor that was paying salary to the junior pastor heading empty churches? Oyedepo did not sack him from church ..he only sacked him from collecting salary and since we are all doing this for God and not money, the pastor shouldn't be complaining
O boy see stupid argument to defend God of Men. I am sure you are ready to drink cool aid for Oyedepo's sake.

Ok, answer this. Why should it be the senior pastor that will take (kolobi) all the tithes and offering of all the branches? If the junior pastor is allowed to take the tithes and offerings of his branch, will he be asking for salaries from the senior pastor?

Does it then make sense for God to bless a particular branch with tithes and offerings and the junior pastor that God used to collect the blessings cannot be paid directly from that blessings.

I lost interest in most of the Nigeria pastors, especially David Oyedepo. Check all his antics in the past, he is so arrogant, and he behaves as if he is above the law.

One thing that constantly surprises me is that, once a father becomes the head of the church in Nigeria, God must call his children and wife by default. Go and check where all their children are pastoring, if not a very well established church in a posh zone in Nigeria, it will be in the western world like the US, UK.

Oyedepo should put his son Muyiwa Oyedepo, who he has positioned to take over his church after his demise, in any of these church branches where these pastors were sacked and let us see the magic he will use to pull crowd. So much for God of men parading as men of God.
I lost interest in Christianity as a whole when this rubbish prosperity gospel started gaining ground over 30 years ago. And I never regretted it since.

I had thought Christianity could not go lower. Men of God or rather God of Men have now come up with a new one - Church Growth Index. Abeg which one is Church Growth Index again? How do you measure it? Is it by shear numbers, income generated, number of people truly saved? Where in the Bible is it written?

I believe the emphasis on material prosperity as against spiritual or moral prosperity is responsible for the moral decadence we have in all facets of the Nigerian society today.

I will just refer you to the Roman "Tacitus" who wrote on Christ. And Jews like "Tosefta" who wrote on Jesus. or the Talmud that was written by Jews.

See how you are so confident in your ignorant replies.

Instead of spending your time on Twitter reading savage replies and gossiping about who is spending money, why don't you visit educational sites like "bc.edu" to keep up with intellectuals? That's my advice for you.

I would rather spend more time talking with more educated folks.

Ciao.
That's why I question your level of education. You read the first lines of an article and immediately fly into concludion without eveb bothering to read the context and conclusion of the whole article.

Tacitus was writing about Christians during the burning of Rome in AD 64 and not particularly about Christ. Rome was burning in AD 64 and Emperor Nero blamed the Christians and so started expecting Christians. Tacitus only made reference to Christ in relation to the beliefs of Christians which he found as an abomination. He definitely had never been to Palestine nor did he claim to know christ who was said to have died 30 years earlier even existed.

This is what he wrote concerning Christ.
But all human efforts, all the lavish gifts of the emperor, and the propitiations of the gods, did not banish the sinister belief that the conflagration was the result of an order. Consequently, to get rid of the report, Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations . , called Christians by the populace . Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition. thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judæa, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome, where all things hideous and shameful from every part of the world find their centre and become popular. Accordingly, an arrest was first made of all who pleaded guilty; then, upon their information, an immense multitude was convicted, not so much of the crime of firing the city, as of hatred against mankind.

Luke 1

No. The Jews have never regarded Jesus as part of Jewish history. Which Jewish Rabbi wrote about jesus?

Romans also wrote about Jesus the miracle worker who had followers.
No Roman wrote about Jesus. Josephus a Jewish historical was said to have written about Jesus as regards what a certaun sect of Jews believed, but he never wrote directly about the life Jesus.

As for Copernicus, who told you he was the one who wrote the book?
Who should we then attribute the book with corpanicus written boldly as the author. Besides also wrote various letters to the academic community detailing his claims.
So all the various writings from different disciples that wrote about Jesus over different years, they are not worthy to be considered?
Which different disciples that wrote about Jesus? Non of the actual disciples wrote about jesus? Most of them are said to be illiterate. The person that wrote Luke and Acts of the apostles (a certain Theophilus) never claimed to have met Jesus. He said he relied on what people are saying (hearsay).

You are not smart at all. You assume you are.

There are no bust and coins for Joan of Arc, Copernicus, The Macabees, Ephiphnes, King xerxes e.t.c yet various people at those times write about these people.

Just say you dont like the narrative. And stop spewing ignorance you think is called knowledge.
You are dumber than dumb. Corpanicus wrote a book (De revolutionibus orbium coelestium) with his name on it and the book is there for all to read. Joan of Arc was part of French history for leading the war to defeat their enemy/invaders. She was acknowledged for all her feats ( Maybe with bits of exaggeration). She was acknowledged by both friends and foes and forever honoured by her country. Her. Her full biography was know with family background. Till today France is very proud of her.

I don't know much about Macabees, Ephiphnes, King xerxes as I am no historian, but conquerors kings and leaders usually leave traces of their conquests in the history of the places and people they conquer.

Now tell me what evidence whatsoever you have both physical and even literally outside 3rd party narration by unknown authors from the new testament. What is family back ground? What is even his name? The title Khristós simply means Messiah. What is his family background and his descendants. How come he is not acknowledged and honoured by his people.

If you talk of Abraham, Joshua and David, I can concede they existed (though with exaggerations) but there is no trace of proof for Jesus.

Jeromejnr:
Its now not what I heard abi from historians because it doesn't suit your narrative.

But if they said Mohammed existed or Julius Ceaser or a dinosaur is 1 billion years old, then it is automatically true.
I don't know of Mohammed, but we have busts, portraits and coins of Julius Caesar, we have bones and eggs of Dinosaurs. Please show us just once evidence of Jesus outside 3rd or 4th person narratives by unknown authors.

It may even have been the city council building, where important dignitaries were received before entering the Temple compound and the Temple Mount.

Visitors to the site can now envisage the opulence of the place: the two side chambers served as ornate reception rooms and between them was a magnificent fountain with water gushing out.

“We believe that the guest rooms, which were also used for dining, contained wooden reclining sofas that have not been preserved.”

On these sofas, guests would have reclined as they feasted, following the custom of the Romans and the Greeks before them.
This was obviously a Roman Guest house or chalet used by high Roman political and military officers posted to the Roman province of Palestine. The building was built in the Roman architectural style of the day complete with running water, fountains and columns. This had nothing to do with the temple or any other religious significance.
