The Church Menace by tunery004(m): 12:24pm On Aug 16, 2015
As a christian, I believe or grew up to believe that a church should be a revered place of worship far from filth and unclean things.

Our lord and saviour Jesus, drove away people selling and buying from the synagogue of the jews, but today our pastors take their churches to the stalls and shops of traders.

Woke up late for service today, so I decided to have my service indoor, but to my greatest surprise, I noticed the noise coming from a beer parlour adjacent my house. Listened carefully and I heard them singing 'he is lord, he is lord amen' then one man was speaking in tongue.

The rate at which churches are opened in 'unclean' places this days is alarming, every shop, club, bar, brothel, motel, hotel, event centre becomes a church on sunday, this to me is unacceptable and out rightly wrong.

Can the Holy Spirit operates in such places? Our God is holy and should be worshipped in a Holy and clean atmosphere. How would the Holy spirit compete with the fridge filled with Star and Guinness behind the altar? The church banner sitting close to a smirnoff banner.

Around Bariga, a bar known for patronising 'olosho' is a worship centre the morning after, this churches don't even mind having three denominations at this same spot. There is a building at Ojuelegba bus stop housing over four different churches, this is absurd.

The most annoying of these issues is that churches are taking over residential buildings. Almost every house on main streets around Gbagada and Bariga are been converted to churches. What would happen when our churches send us all towards Mowe and Ibafo? Who will be left to worship in those churches?


The noise pollution from this places of worship is another story for another day.

I believe there should be a body to regulate the planting of churches, the areas and venues of worship with the control of noise and traffic.

The church is a w. h. ore.
. Even after 2000yrs of pretence and deceit, the church has to live true to its DNA.

That the most corrupt nation in world is also the most Churchous nation in the world is not a coincidence.

Errrmmm, bros, I may not support this ur opinion, the church isn't what u called it. Its a few bad eggs with selfish motives that paint the church black.
