REASONS WHY IGBO MILLIONAIRES REFUSED TO BUILT CHURCHES AND DONATE HUGE MONEY TO PENTICOSTAL PASTORS:
Over the time, Many Igbo Millionaires have Single handedly built Catholic and Anglucan Churches and handed them over to the Bishops in charge.
Catholic and Anglican Priests and Bishops live modestly.
They don't wear the Guccis and the DGs, the Louboutins and the Hermes, the Balmains and Louis Vuittons and other expensive designers to church to impress worshippers or preach prosperity sermons to a congregation where the pastor is often the richest and the pew of mere labourers are asked to commit their "first fruits" to a Pastor who gives $50k Fornication Allowance to their Babes.
In fact, I am not happy. It is these people that have damaged the standard rate for guys.
It is no longer "do you know how much my best friend, brother or sister gave me for Christmas.... Please don't insult me!" What babes are saying now is "so you know how much my pastor gives me monthly?"
May monkey never dash you banana because, if you dating a babe who is also dating a pastor, you will be finished. And if it's a pastor that knows the value of a babe who attracts the rich to his church and ministry, you will be completly finished.
Look, when it comes to other denominations where pastors fly in private jets and travel to the "heaven islands on earth" to celebrate their birthdays, Igbos are very cautious in donating money to such enterprises. Their offerings and donations to pastors na eji ego tithe ara ashawo are very limited. They know the key.
If you build a mega penticostal church in Igboland, after a while, you will consider changing The location of your calling to Lagos or Abuja or somewhere in the South South because, Igbo men will use their money to look after their wives, children, relatives, put people on scholarship; acquire tites (including PhDs) and set aside the standard 10 percent Fornication Allowance for "Give Away."
So, if Mr Fucktoyinbo Krest, the Chief Cashier at Commonwealth wants Igbos to start donating money to his church, then he should stop spending it on himself and set up orphanages, free schools, affordable clinics, Learning Clubs for Christian Teenagers, etc., just as the Catholics and Anglicans are doing. Otherwise, my dear Mr Krest, iga aga chowa ihe ozo iga aga mewa!
There is another pastor that likes to run for president all the time; Igbos are less than 2 percent in his company (Church) and that percentage covers just the beautiful girls.
And there is another one that had to borrow money from bank to build his church and he is behind in his monthly repayment. And he lies a lot too. Igbos are less than 2 percent too and dem no dey pay.
Money to all these Business outfits is Free Money to promote religious irresponsibility and to support the activities of Jezebellian attachés.
How do you expect a business man to work so hard and then sign off a cheque Ka ihu ego iji ara otu? Mbanu! That level of good time must be self funded.
If an Igbo man pays his tithe and offering and you, as the pastor, changes suit and shoes while he is still managing his old suit and shoes because he is still paying school fees for his relatives, looking after his wife and children, looking after widows in his community and with about 5 apprentices living and feeding under him, he will reduce his tithe and offering to what the church needs and not for a pastor to buy new boxers to impress the choir. Enough of this ghaghagha.
If you want to give to God, give others are giving.
But the idea that "I am giving to God and not to the pastor and I don't care what the pastors does with God's money and that God will judge him" simply means that, you are encouraging fraud against God.
