According to Okogie, there is no Godliness in the decision
by some churches in the country to have as many branches as possible,
describing such branches as “mere business centres”.
Now, controversial Cool FM OAP, Daddy Freeze who's widely
known as a big critic of pastors has reacted by giving props to the Cardinal
for his criticism of Pastor Adeboye.
In his words: “I have
been driving up and down Lagos looking for this cardinal, so I can give him one
huge hug.”
Drawing out a comparison to the number churches outside and
inside Nigeria, Freeze wrote:
"Finland has the
most stable economy in world today. There are less than 20 churches in Finland.
Switzerland has the
second most stable economy in the world. Switzerland has less than 30 churches.
Denmark is the third
most stable economy in the world. Denmark has about 23 churches in it.
These are countries
considered largely atheist in nature, yet so blessed.
“Come to Owerri town,
SE Nigeria, from MCC junction to Toronto junction, there are 36 churches. That
stretch of about 5 km harbours 36 churches, more churches than the entire
Switzerland.
“Between Owerri and
Mgbidi l counted 97 churches and gave up.”
“According to CAC,
Nigeria has over 23,000 registered churches. We have more churches than schools
and hospitals combined. More pastors than doctors and teachers combined.
Everyone is born again. All are covered in the blood of Jesus. All are filled
with the Holy Spirit.”
“Yet none of those
claims reflects in the expected moral elevation of society. We are still one of
the greediest, laziest, corrupt, deceitful, hypocritical and hateful set of
beings on the planet today, with all our Christ and Holy Spirit.”
''Our people need to
draw the line between religiosity and spirituality."
