Kindly permit me to share with us what an ex-local government chapter chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) told me when I went to present to him a copy of my newly published book in his office, yes, I was well received but wished I never visited. As soon as I walked into his office, I met him discussing with his receptionist, like a thunder storm, he dropped an information that almost made me shed tears for the church of God, this clergy man without any iota of shame told me that he had little time to discuss with me as he was set to leave for the CAN state secretariat to partake in the sharing of a huge sum of money given to the association by a certain politician to buy their support for his gubernatorial ambition. Are you surprised?
An African adage says "The reason why the dog befriends a pot bellied man is that if he's not defecating, he will surely be vomiting". Many of our covetous Christian leaders runs after the rich because of what they will eat and these irresponsible behaviours has reduced the church of God to nothing before our corrupt elites, you need to see how some pastors lobby to be sent to head churches in rich neighbourhoods all for fish and bread. WHAT A SHAME?!

It's a shame that the church of God which ought to be a house of prayer and worship is now being turned into a social club where the rich and their likes openly flaunts their wealth but who do we blame? When special churches are established for the elites, when they are allowed to receive and make calls while the service is going on to the extent that all you hear them discuss after church services are things that ordinarily should be discussed in their homes or social gatherings and not in the church of God, just listen to some of the things they say " Who helped you fix your nails? Where did you buy your cream? Is this bag designer? I like your hair, where did you buy it? Did you hear Yul Edochie impregnated Judy Austin?" All of these mess takes place in the church because our greedy and materialistic clergies permits them or how do you expect them to rebuke the same people whose wealth are desperately needed in their churches?
