Church business on the one hand is the exploitation of a peoples misplaced and exaggerated spirituality, borne out of the hardships they are facing and the baseless fear of the unknown. Operators of this business have a simple task of continuously orchestrating the peoples helplessness and gullibility to such issues as ill health, poverty and unemployment (which are all outcomes of a failure of leadership in the country) to remain in business. Quite Simple.

To ensure success in the business, you have to be a good orator, a psychologist, a dramatist and a perfect con-artist. It is important to hold your congregation spell bound at all time and to make them revere you as an Omni potent being. Very importantly, you must run the business like a sole proprietorship. You alone should give the directives and no one should question your authority. Any of your close associates who gets too ambitious should be disgraced, called an agent of the devil, ostracized and ex-communicated. Your only confidant should be your wife, who should share your anointing and for easy of administration a council of elders who join in sharing the booty on pay day.



Self enrichment surpasses national building,We think Nigeria is someone's property, we are yet to know that Nigeria is we the people.Thats why pple handle the matter with " i don't care attitude"


Well i stand to be crucify now!!!

ROTFLMAO
The evil that men do, na other people dey suffer am, lol

Religion is the opium of the masses, the pastors who are talented at preaching their sermons are the {opium} dealers and the tithes that the congregation drop in the collection bag is the fee for their shots. The congregation leave church after much praying, speaking in tongues, singing clapping dancing etc feeling happy. But in reality nothing has changed.
