"There are times I can't
seem to shut these talks up. Moslems are trying to Islamize Nigeria because
Christians are not Christianising Nigeria.
How did the white man
evangelise Nigeria through the CMS, RCM, SIM, Methodist, Baptist and other
agencies? By building schools and hospitals and offering their services at subsidized
rates.
Some years ago, my mother
needed eye surgery to remove a cataract. We brought her to Lagos and were
informed by a consultant at Nigerian Ports Authority Clinic that the best eye
hospital in Nigeria is the ECWA Missionary Eye Hospital in Kano.
I took my mum there and met
with highly qualified expatriates working right in the heart of Kano. The Chief
Medical Director, Dr. Kiru had more degrees than a thermometer, the equipment
was the best available in the country; despite the hustle and bustle of the
city, the atmosphere within the hospital premises was serene. A female, German
surgeon (Dr. Bahge) operated on my mum and she was discharged 4 days after she
was admitted. The whole operation including tests, private ward with 2 beds and
feeding cost N54,000 (Instead of N200,000 in the cheapest hospital in Lagos).
Further tests later showed that my mum's eyes were like that of a 40-year old
(she was in her seventies).
Three years ago, a friend and I
met an 18-year old girl who had run away from home, soon after she had a baby
for her 20-year old boyfriend; both had absolutely no source of income. Where
do we take them to? Someone told me about Ozanam house - a home set up by the
Roman Catholic Church just for cases like this. After narrating the story to
Rev. Sister Stella (the Head of the place), she said: "go and bring
them".
The girl, her boyfriend and the
baby were kept in the center till her mother was located and all three were
sent back home to Abuja - all expenses paid by the center.
What do the Pentecostal
Churches offer today? What acts of love or kindness do you receive from the
average Nigerian church? What amenities are provided by the Nigerian Church
whose income was estimated at 3 Trillion Naira in 2014 (when the whole Nation
budgeted 4 Trillion)?
We build mega auditoriums to
seat crowds mainly made up of miracle seekers and those trying to assuage their
curiosity; we offer prayers mostly for prosperity and breakthrough, we give
prophecies about who is standing in the way of your success and how he or she
must be removed by violent prayers. In fact, our enemies, spiritual or
physical, must "die by fire". Meanwhile a pastor here in Ojodu, Lagos
owns 45 private cars in the midst of abject poverty. Now there is this satanic
competition to know who owns more aircrafts than the other in Nigeria.
Most Church members can not
afford the fees charged by schools owned by the Churches where they worship.
A woman had a baby through
normal delivery in a hospital owned by the Church where she worships here in
Ojodu, Lagos; the bill was N150,000.
It is "Haram"
(forbidden) for a Moslem to take interest on a loan given to another Moslem but
a pastor I know was charged 20% interest PER MONTH on a loan given to him by a
fellow Pastor. By the 6th month, the interest had exceeded the principal sum.
I encourage you to let's
continue to share this message till it gets to the table of these great men of
God!!!!!"
