miss sherlock holmes, stop putting 2 & 2 together, stop assuming,assumption is the lowest form of intelligence, if you really wanna know the truth about C3 make your way to 400 herbert macaulay road,yaba, nxt week sunday, 10pm, then come back to NL to state your findings.
Meanwhile,marinate on my previous post.

hisson3: my dear, I attend C3, there are no special front seats for anyone, even the pastor has no special seat, he sometimes chills @ d back b4 going to the pulpit when its time to minister,the only special seats are for choir & nursing mothers.

hisson3: my brother, good question, since I was not @ d scene of the incident seated close by I can't conclude, but as a C3 member ,there is a normal sitting arrangement in the church, what is annoying me is the way nigerians come to NL to make conclusions,how can you conclude when you don't even know the address of the church,talkless of ever attended their service,that's wrong.the problem we have is that we don't like law & order, I have witnessed in my former church some years back how a woman almost ran down a church traffic guy just because he wanted her to park in a spot & she wanted to park in her special spot. We nigerians are actually our own greatest problem. Smh!

maygah: Dis usher guy helped me changed my money @ d GTmobile spot , wen I was trying to desposit some money via d machine & d machine kept rejecting 6 notes outa d money I was to pay in. How come d guy come treat princess like dat naw. princess am sowi on his behalf

so whats our business?

You see not trying to follow rules cut across every spheres of the society and I say if we continue to live this way then we will always be humiliated home and abroad-remember what happened to our women during Hajj. Not all churches allows women to sit directly opposite the pulpit, is not because of discrimination but because most of the pastors are men and some ladies just come to church to cause distraction so is an unwritten rule not to allow ladies infront. In winners chapel Ota I have never seen women sitting on the first row married or not, does that mean the church is discriminatory? It is pure spiritual precaution, pastors are human beings too afterall....lol
This is really petty from Princess if she did what was alleged.

How do you create a news out of a none-news? Sensationalize it! That is what this is all about. I also attend Covenant Christian Centre and I can tell you that we don't have any special seat for people. The pastor does not have a special seat, neither do any group of people, except nursing mothers and choir members who have to come on to sing. Apart from those everyone else seats as directed by the ushers. People generally want to sit anywhere they like but the ushers have a duty to fill the seats as people come in in an orderly manner.Otherwise, people will simply seat as they feel. I do not know what transpired between the usher and this lady but I do not think the reason is because she is single. No such policies exists to deny anyone a seat because of their marital status. If any usher said such, he or she is wrong. I have had reason to be directed to some seats in church that did not give me a great view of the pulpit and I have had to comply because it is all part of Christian Character to be humble. Afterall, it is just under two hours service.

Its good thing pastor Poju apologized to this lady. Every member of that church will be shocked that an usher said that because it is not consistent with the nature of the church and the pastor. he is the simplest person in the world. As much as a part of me thinks there must have been a misunderstanding between the lady and the usher, this has been blown out of proportion. Since she has done the right thing by confronting the usher after the service, I think it should have ended there. If its God we all came to worship, he watches over everyone na.

The woman no get aroma . Fine. No dey her bodi she won advatise herself 4 sursh free , ♍ƺ I suport ythat dutiful usher wey see ĄЙd̶̲̥̅̊ identify an unliocenced pet quick quick !

ypzilanti: That's my church oh! I say make I see wetin my Pastor don do .

Anyways, I love the message in my church, the way the pastor represents the Bible messages, and the fact that the church always has one social project or the other that they pursue.

Also there is no emphasis on money for blessing messages. The pastor encourages hard work and prayer.

He also has no airs about him and is very simple. Only God knows who his real servants are, but from man's eye (which is all I have) I feel my pastor is gifted, and my very little church contribution is utilized properly.

hehe choi! Abeg talk straight on the matter on ground jare!which one be d long story!

mosque is simple no discrimination.so so for chri$tianity

all4naija: You are joking, dude! We are going to be in group to get rid of you and your disturbance. One of us will close your mouth with something while I load good numbers of strong fist into your head and stomach before pushing you out of the premises.

This usher must have cut his ushering teeth in Reverend King's church. Have you forgotten that your original pastor is on death-row for murder?

1 shortblackboy: Thinking of sugar and groundnut,water and of course g4rri

Seun is allergic to the word Garri, the guy go BAN you oooooooo

Princess sorry ooooooo! But I think Pastor is right.

In other words, hardworking, honest, single comedians are not allowed to sit in the front row, but married, pilfering politicians and scammers are welcome. What is religion turning into.

pls this seating arrangement is it biblical

amanda, imagine you come into a church and people just seat on arranged chairs as they please. Even when the sermon is being preached, people who come late will walk to the front of the church and be a distraction to others. It is just order and the Bible talks about order in doing things. If you go through the Bible, you will see how God creates order in the things he does. people follow order when they buy their tickets for planes but when they come to church, they start acting funny.

kulyie: can u just imagine this ones statement,so it is now a crime to be single,she deserves to be embarassed because she is single,so because an usher embarassed her in church,she should just keep quiet and bottle it in,i mean,why do nigerians think this way.is a church not a place or worship,brotherly love,mutual respect and prayer again?na wa o.

If you are not respected in church,as a christian isn't it godly to respected yourself ?
People hate it whenever an usher says;
Stop sleeping
Cover your hair
This dress is body revealing
This skirt is short
Don't sit there sit here
Dnt take that route but use this
Stop making noise
stop distracting people with ur phone or....
If u disobey any of the above in church wen asked by the usher,you have disobeyed God and u may hardly benefit from that service ! ''Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God''Romans 13:1

honiye: Her problem is the fact that she (Princess) felt too big to be usher or better put that she expected the ushers to break the rule for her because she's public figure or what?

Pls princess, get a life! our major problem in Nigeria is attitudinal. Im sure you wont be the only singles not to be allowed to sit in front and the reason for that which I think is that alot of you single ladies dress provocatively to church without respecting God and if someone tries to address you, you will be saying "is it not House of God" even in house of God, there is orderliness and stop your ill mannerism

you are so slow, pple like you give christianity a bad name, first of all, why should anyone be told not to sit in front because of their marital status, that is just uneccessary,
its understandable if the seats were reserved for other special guest which to me is still wrong, everyone is equal in the house of God, its one reason I almost dislike christianity, if not the fact its one of those religion soaked with blood but the fact that you can't question the church. Pls be more reasonable in ur response. Thank you.

I do not know about any other church but at Covenant Christian centre, there are no special chairs. We all seat on the same types of chairs. If you have an ego problem, it is not the kind of place you want to go. They don't raise any special offering for anything and emphasis is placed on your personal walk with God. I found the place after years of being disgruntled by what the church did to me when i was a young christian and I had my doubts initially because of my very critical nature but its authentic place to worship, if what you are into is purely a relationship with God and not some new age teachings to get rich quick scheme.

amanda layla: pls this seating arrangement is it biblical

The bible says :''But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.''-1 Corinthians 14:40
The bible says EVERYTHING should be done orderly and if that is what is the church practices,becos it is scriptural then whoever want's to worship there should abide by those godly rules !Remember that all authorities are instituted by God-Romans 13:1 ''Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God''.

Please people. stop insulting the young lady. God does not love her any less because of what she did. Mistakes were obviously made in the manner the usher talked with her and perhaps she may not have handled it well by taking it to twitter but the pastor has apologized and lets let this go, please.

Leave out the issue of getting rich quick. You have made ur point earlier. Pst.Poju looks at the scripture all round !He teaches salvation,your walk with the Holy spirit,confessional statements,Making moves on your own to bring about the manifestation of God's promises in ur life and so many others.
I love Pst.poju for i know he teaches the word of God !

God bless us

KINGwax: pls listen up, the reason why most churches don't allow single ladies in the front is as a result of the foolish way most of them dresses, sit with openin legs and in all manners seducing the pastor who himself is human and is capable of falling. At least, history proves dt.
So, don't sit at the front, it's the church's rule, who the fucck are u then?

That is it bro!

Who is Princess? What is the big deal if she is given a seat by the ushers?

Is she ignorant of SEAT RESERVATION? Is it not a common practice in showbiz industry wherein she is a player? Does she not reserve seats in her comedy shows? Abeg, free me jor!!!

Moreover, after Timaya's demonstration of madness in a certain church sometime ago, I will be the last person to excuse a so-called celebrity in Nigeria from being subjected to normal check and scrutiny.

The reason why most of you supporting the church can't give a valid point is u're all brainwashed by the whole "touch not my appointed". First of all the main issue here is why "she/or any individual" should be rejected a seat because of their marital status, no matter how u paint it, its discrimination but we give corrupt politicians and crooks a free pass, that message tells the church that single people ave less privileges than others, if that were Islam I'd understand, because I know or (thing') christianity is a fair religion, only reason pple are attacking princess is they feel she tried to be above others by choosing to seat in front, if this were a normal individual,wud u still argue it the same. I guess an atheist wud see sense afterall christians are meant not to question their institution. What a mess.
