According to reports, Latter Rain Assembly founder, Pastor Tunde Bakare got a cow and hampers from the presidency as a Christmas gift. Pastor Bakare said the cow and hampers were dropped at his Save Nigerian Group (SNG) office in Lagos, but he rejected the gift because 'a cow is not what president Jonathan should be giving to people now but a country that works'.

Owkay;good pastor..true talk

Yeah I agree wif him
I understand you want to make a statement and all... but is it so wrong to just simply accept gifts for what they are, gifts?! Then you can proceed to make your statement after anyway! Nigerians and unnecessary melodrama!
right.. he probably expect a private jet like can president!!
right.. he probably expected a private jet like can president!!
Dats way to go Nigeria Unlike Reuben Abati... N 4 all ya naughty politicians dat tink u can bribe ur way into pple's heart,,, am shaking ma head 4 y'all.. GEJ lemme c how ur lil game will c u tru come 2015..
Good, very good.
Damn! When Politics and bitterness has eaten deep into the fabric of a man's soul, what is left is just a mere shadow of his body....A cow as a Christmas gift means no harm. I am pretty sure The President wasn't try to buy Tunde Bakare on his side but he just wanted to celebrate in the spirit of the season.
At least there has to be one day of the year when politicians, rivals can drop whatever bitterness and animosity they have towards each other and celebrate, call for peace, prayers....for the country.
A Nigeria that work, if that's what Pastor Tunde Bakare wants starts from accepting a Christmas gift that doesn't entail monetary offer, and said gift does not compromise his ability to air his views irrespective of political affliations or denomination or position.
A Nigeria that works need all everyone of us to behave in a mature and advanced way..... It begins with the little things......
Rumours o
Mayb GEJ is tryna extend an olive branch 2bakare in a foolish way if I must add.
Bribery lol
COW?! GEG D̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥γ̲̣̣̥ fall Ðœ̣̣̥̇̊γ̥ hand

Let them give it to me...I need it!!! Lolz...

#gbam! I don't really know stuff about this man Bakare..but I know if I where in his shoes I'll do same. God bless you sir, we need more of your type in Nigeria. #zizzy

Good choice, he must have sent to numerous others too definately, good thing we still have ppl who stand up n talk against corrupt leaders#Godbless Nigeria
Tunde bakare is a well-fed pastor.Besides,do you know how many valuable gifts he will receive from members of his church as xmas gifts,from cars to herd of cattle,ipad and laptops.After politicians na pastors dey gbadu pass o.Na me need that cow pass.The politicians no even care about our welfare.
*lookingsad*
It's a gift for Pete's sake, a Christmas gift. Must we politicise everything?? Everybody gives gifts: poor,rich,wealthy,hungry, wicked, good and all. Gifts are not only for when things are good but can be given when they are bad too. I just hope he rejects the offerings of the poor in his church as well, cos they need it to survive and live...
He did not reject it o. He wanted to reject it but was persuaded not to do so and he told the congregation what happened. He still has the cow. It is part of his accountability to the Saints of God.

He bought a cow 4 som1 who can afford a 100 if he so wish. While dere r som who couldn't even afford dried fish sef dis season. Hmmmmm Nigeria is in God's hands.
Hello Linda, since I was at the service today.I will report what I heard him say. He mentioned his initial decision was to return it but was prevailed on not to. Thus he thanked the President for it but admonished he would rather have good goverance ,roads and electricity for all than cows sent to select members of society.
Na dem sabi
u wan act LUTHEr.na just cow u d for# NTA.na ur way jor
You don't make news out of non news item. Many out there are looking for an opportunity to be recognised by the Federal government. If you don't want the Cow, just keep quiet. Next!
4 God sake, y re all dis pple against dis man(Mr president)? Bsydz, it's a season of love, givin, & share. I'm soO disappointed in d@ man of God(not a pastor). -Allen.
well said
first to comment oo
Sometimes gift's work like a charm for the giver,gift can make the receiver a slave to the giver,somtimes gift can make you quite when you see wrong,so pastor Tunde Bakare has his own reasons for rejecting the gift,
A lobatan story......LMAOOooooooooo
#Dat angry sister!
#BriberyTinz
This is one of the few men one can truly call "Men of God" in Nigeria today. Thumbs up pastor!
Temitope
Truly,if we cud get ppl lyk dis who stand for d truth, Nigeria'll get beta day by day
linda abeg post my comment o
I comment my reserve jare
Personally, dis na Bribery and Corruption
Ok..
He's very right. We need more people like Bakare in Naija.
haha...GEJ go shame...no be the guy fault...he is too cool for presidency so ancient politicians go dey use him play ball
we need good governance. what is the harm in receiving the gift? Pastor politician
Only God knows how many civil society groups have collected their shares and next to that is they will find it difficult to say the truth or protest injustice or will mildly handle national issues that require serious attention.
WELCOME TO GOVERNANCE FOR SALE.
Good one
#didi
Hmmmmm. All des political shows sef. Wetin poor masses fit do?
WHY MAKE HIM LOOK BADT FOR A KIND GESTURE
WHAT WILL DIS GUY EVER DO DAT WON'T WARRANT CRITISM
OMG, why dis GEJ continue falling my hand. Pls sir, don't do it again oooO. ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥♡thanks ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥
What's d big deal in giving Bakare a cow n hamper? GEJ dn really suffer, I can c hw El rufai carried out his own duties while he minister, mtchewww big fool.
Wat kinda pastor derives pleasure in spitting pple.men of God r supposed to promote peace not create political propaganda just to feed their ambitions.or will he say he didn't receive hampers or cows from Buhari. Anyways it's obvious he ll never be vp in naija,seeing he has been replaced by amaechi....lol
That is my kind of Pastor, not all these pangolo pastors, that are ripping off their congregation buy jets, bentleys, houses for their wives, concubines and girlfriends. God would deal with all of them mercilessly!!! Carry go Pastor Tunde Bakare, God bless your ministry-Cocobutter.
Isn't Elrufia supposed 2 b mourning? Dude shld stay of twitter 4 once... He's sight repulses me! Now to Gej, does he enjoy people insulting him or he needs approval 4rm enemies? Guy shld learn 2 act as d president he is!...
Good reaction man!
But come ooo.I no understand that Mallam emmm...El rufai. Linda has he joined ur aproko work?just asking though..BTW, No comment on this matter
How sure are we that the presidency sent cow to GEJ? That would be the bumbest thing to do. Bakare is surely not a man to appease plus el-rufai is a loose cannon shooting in all directions.
Its an indirect insult and advice from GEJ... The pastor is a man of God..abi? Literally ..he's a Sheppard for the people he leads.. GEJ is just trying to remind him of his dusties as a Sheppard/pastor..it simply means: Take care of your cow/congregation or turn to a full time cattle rearer... I love this country
This is a very good and admirable gesture from Pastor Bakare. Other new generation pastors wont have done same.
Dis aproko don put mouth now imbecile
Nice one. u gat courage
This el-rufai always lookin 4 an opportunity 2 discredit Goodluck idiot of a man
Y reject d gift,,,"A country dat works?" Dats nt gonna happen in one day,it will take a while,so u mean u'll reject gifts until d country is beta? Hmmm! Wat av u done 4 ur country? Dats a question evry1 shld ask demselves b4 pointing fingers #justsaying
Pastor na wa o! U 4 collect am 1st,do u knw wat it means 2 reject gift on celebration period so painful. #princess#
Story!!!
One word for GEJ
Yanga dey sleep
Trouble go wak am
Yeah.... Kudos to Pastor Bakare! He was right about what he said!
Hmmmm is it the kind of gift that he is trully rejecting,if it were a Mercedes G Wag 63 and he returns it then I ll believe what he is saying bout a country that works# just saying but we rily need a country that works though...
Good man....thumbs up
BUT this guy has lost his relevance in politics; what does the presidency gain by sending him gift?? My take is the opposition party framing the ruling party!
Nawa ooo°°° a cow fro GEJ @ D's time...well can't judge. Maybe its from his Heart...Just think about it this way ... Obama gives a bull to Kenneth Copeland ...Haahahaha°°•••
God go help us o..... Tru tru sey na cow go help we nigerians....
My pastor!!A prophet has seen d gift for what it is!A greek gift
Hmmmm,,i comment my reserve...
This Jonathan is very funny indeed. Will he send a cow to the common man on the street. Why should he offer his "goodluck" to a big man who can afford to buy thousands of cows if he needs it. What we actually need is systems that work, not playing to the gallery.
Bakare i beg take several sits! Mtcheew.
U can't silent pastor Tunde with earthly tins like the PDP pastor that refuse to tell us who gave him the private Jet as a gift.Pastor Tunde is an activist that believe in Good governance

Why can't people leave GEJ alone, everyday we hear PDP is finished, GEJ is a dullard, GEJ won't win come 2015, APC has taken control, Dame Patience is an illiterate, GEJ this, GEJ that. Let us leave this man alone, and wait till 2015 when he and PDP will be flushed out. APC old and new Governors should concentrate on the governance of their states and stop all these noise that will take us nowhere. There is hardly any day that Gov Amaechi or Nasir El Rufai will not have anything negative to say about GEJ, it has become a blind obsession. Please give us a break, and wait for that 2015 when you saints will take over power.
Smiles....lips sealed
This jona is a dumb! If Bakare gets a cow what will Mr Ayo orisajefor(senior special asst on spiritual matters) collect? We need good governance nt cow and hamper gift.
And to other men of God that collected it and kept quiet God is watching U.
No be small tin o,misplaced priorities.Linda post my comments o.

why is pastor Tunde Bakare involved in politic?is he a good politician or the other?
God bless Bakare ! we need more nigerians to speak up .
Thank God Pastor Bakare is back in the news again, I asked about him on twitter two weeks ago. GEJ and his advisers will never learn the same man he gave millions of naira he rejected the money, and he's giving d man cow now? #GEJAndHisBadAdvisers
Linda why do you believe this rubbish from El-rufai?Is it in the name to drive traffic? please GEJ knew Tunde Banjare well more than El-rufai and any of us..He will never try such move as that will spell a doom to him..So please it will better for you ask Reuben Abati before you publish rubbish from a frustrated animal like El-rufai..
Nice one

LOL!presidency gave a cow????must be an imported customized cow worth bliions of "Dollars"!foolishness in high places
Gbam..God bless you sir..
Gud pastor

why telling us? beta refrain fron bitter politics o & better face God if u call urself pastor o
We need a voice not rejection of gift
Lol dis politicians amuse me. Mtcheeew #spitsonpost#
Ela O°˚˚˚ , ela O°˚˚˚ in Olamide's voice. Bakare gives our president ela oju kan shld av been the caption.This our president is jst chasing shadows, give us constant power supply not cows.
What difference those it make, will rejecting the cow make GEJ give the people a country that works? Guess he is only rejecting a trojan horse
Your comment will be visible after approval
I'm very the cows and hampers were sent to so many other prominent nigerians...only God knows how much was taken from the nation's coffers to get this implemented.
Exactly!he's correct!
Gbam dis man get sense
God bless this man... He has proven he isn't in d league of "hungry" people dat have sold deir conscience for "gifts". Is it dat cow dat will stop d boko haram insurgence in Nigeria, or will d "cow" make PHCN or d police force more reliable??? Jonathan needs to get his priorities straight!!!!
Hmmm those re d reel men of God. Nt all pastors re pastor GEJ go hey nw
OK. e don set!
OK. e don set!
Gbam! Tell 'em #Nuffsaid
Yes I fully support hime,wat is d cow wen an average nigerian can't ve. A 3 square meal a day.
Nice. One ... But gift na gift o no strings attached.
The moment he accepts that gifts Rueben abati or gulak will come with a different story,but indeed no harm in sending gifts to your opponents in seasons like this.linda pls post,i never get posted
Thank you! Is it d 120k @ most used 2 purchase d cow dat'll solve Nigeria's problems?? It was a kind gesture and should have being appreciated!
I wonder what message he preached this christmas season "political christmas message of agony". Am sure that he gave you this for the church you represent just like every other christian wishes to give even to churches and friends during christmas, like my Dad did to 2churches around. If it is for political bribe the president would have sent mils of Naira in Ghana must go to you. If you really do what you preach in your church why don't you take it and share it among your members then request your members to join you in prayer as you pray for God to give him wisdom, grace and lion's heart to do the right thing as president? some may be political pastors though
Linda, swallow my comment ko. No post am. E dey give sense. Were! Make him go die joor. Abeg free johna.
I wonder too, if you read some naija pastoralitics news, and see the way they attached importance, once begin to think, if they are really human
Na real wa 4 me n all of una!
1. It used 2 be a case of foetus, todlers, infants, adolescents, adults, old men and women, opposition parties mis-using social networks. Ok which of these categories of people do Reno n mr. President belong?
2. Now it is d turn of mr. President to mis-send social cows and geographical hampers 4 a reason certainly not very clear 2 anyone xcept d gifts senders. But thank God back 2 sender has been put 2 work.
3 those of u libers ranting at why d pastor rejected d so called gifts, if u are so certain of d true essence of d gifts, why don't u peeps write pastor Bakare on a piece of paper and paste it on ur fathers so as 4 d gifts 2 be redirected 2 where they would be appreciated?
D gifts senders know why they sent and the gifts receiver knows why he rejected.
If u have any problems with dat, dial 911, suckers.
GEJ is not a magician!he inherited nigeria's problem...its not his fault that dis country is like dis!..its just a cow,this is a season of love and sharing!evryting isnt about politics abeg!so collect it already...its a gift!.imao.
Who says bakare is a man of God blind Nigerians. I dnt believe d story n even if Gej has done noting wrong.
Pastor Bakare can't be bought!
Yea am sure sure if it was a private jet or cheque of 1bn he would not have rejected it...mtchew!
All na politics
Yes!
Oooooh I wish I could hit a like button for this comment.
Well said bro,bunch of crazy people , e dey pain dem say d mumu fall their hand,hear them talking like retards,sentimental people,is that a priority for the dumbass,we know where all you idiots are from
All these Moslems turn Christians cannot be good xtians no matter what. A good Xtian will quietly collect it and share to widows and orphans, instead is looking for cheap political point. Am sure he didn't do anything for d less priviledge in his church. Jonathan I beg flee from these cheap politicians. Nosense
Ur so fast in saying, just watch who ur president becomes by 2015, amonng all dz paraders, Jonathan is still d best and remaineth our Presidoo
Gbam. See E rufai wetin, carried his 2 left leg to anambra election on a day daz supposed to b no movement, and ur not an accredited election monitoring person, so woa hz own there? Pipo r just out to heat d politic and claim saints, sooo wicked of a man, d wicked gut in him is alarming, and hz d worst among doz APC peeps, he can never say any good tin abt d president, woz dat;, and God is warning him now to leave wickedness and live and hz still following d part of death and destruction, who knows him shld tell him to read d hand writting on d wall tro all d recent death and near death event surronding him.
I dont really think president Jonathan wil do such.i think its a propaganda to tarnish his image
Linda Pastor Bakare received cow gifts from FG and Ogun govt but he did not reject them although he said he was prevailed not to return them. Always try to balance your reports, you never mentioned Ogun govt and you claimed the gifts were rejected which is not true.
Do you have an idea how many cows were bought and for how many more people? I agree 120k won't help naija but 120k multiplied by only-God-knows-how-many can surely give some remote village portable water. SMH
All of u insulting mr president should shut d hell up.good governance indeed.its a shame dt men of God have lost their dignity.if truly he s not trying 2 create political tension he shoulda mentioned all d other gifts he received dis Christmas from his rich friends. He s only trying 2 luk 4 relevance in a party dt has dumped his ass 4 amaechi.
Am sure he wuudnt av rejected a jet
Vry gud.
Kai! You can never win with human beings. Those saying he should have just accepted it, will be first to insult him and say he goes to 'chop' cows with GEJ when he wants to express his opinion about GEJ's lack lustre performance in government.
IF DS MAN VEX NW UNA GO SAY HE TALK TOO MUCH. NA GEJ DE FIND TROUBLE NW OOOO. GOD BLESS U PASTOR BAKARE
This is how to lead by example. Man shall not live by Cow alone Mr President.
Oga pastor y cnt u just appreciate na until our president pack al our moni go buy 20 private jet com giv u na den u go accept? Take d cow kil it n share it 2 d poor masses in ur church (show som respect)
It is just a gift for the season nothing wrong wit that. D pastor should stop making it look like he is a supper man. Has he not been collecting gifts from his church members? Does he know how dey got d money to buy him d gift? I say stop pretending in chaba ranks voice.
Because he understands more than you dumb ass that it is still the nation's money he used to buy them. By the time they say Aw much they spent on the cows now u start to shout. Thank God he isn't can president.
And how is ds a one word comment? Illiterates everywhere, mtchewww.
Abeg make I hear word, but if it is frm Buhari he will collect abi? Opposition tinzz, Dats what's up.
Abeg sharappp der
I was actually thinking it's another Facebook joke that Oga Jonah gave a cow to Pastor Tunde Bakare for Christmas but it's not a joke. What a pity! Although, the pastor turned it down.
Whoever advised the president to send that cow gift is his arc-enemy and he should fire the person right away.
Now, i have to reason out loud. Did the president send cows to other pastors too? I mean pastors like Adeboye, Chris Okotie, David Oyedepo, Ayo Oristejafor etc. Did they accept it or they all turned it down too?
Apparently, the president still doesnt know what the people need. Nothing is wrong in giving gift but to send a cow to a pastor for Christmas is quite below the belt for me. Was he expecting the pastor to store up his refrigerator with the meat or share it with his congregations? It just doesnt make sense. A N50 season's greeting card would have been enough but an oil rig would have been better
u know how much he would have spent by sharing COW to those POLOTICIANS,WE DEY HUNGRY OOO MR PRESIDENT,TRY TO INVEST IN OUR AGRICULTURE,Creat job oppportunity to our graduates not by sharing COW TO THOSE PEOPLE THAT CAN FEED MILLIONS OF NIGERIANS.
WEY THE COW?

That's good for GEJ he is the most dumbest president so far how can you offer cow to a well renowned pastor who's also reach pls he has just told u the real truth NAIJA needs a good governance not a mirage
Pastor Bakare can afford 2 buy 50cows if he wants. He does not need a gift from d president. D president should put all d money he's spending on buying gift 2 pple who don't need dem 2geda 2 do meaningful things 4 d massed. Govt shld put our money in 2 good use & not squander it on things dat are temporal.
Looooooool, naija drama, why send him a cow? Haba...
daniel never defiled himself with the king's meat. kudos to pastor for doing so as-well.
The person that got the cow contract would have quoted 300k for one cow. Now multiply that by God knows how many
I believe this is a gift that need not to be politicise
Best comment so far! Bless u
So he politicised it in his church ba? For what na? What was he trying to achieve abeg?
Bless u for this. The thing tire me o.
Abia! And ur "true man of God" is desperately looking for power...playing politics. SMH
GBAM!!!
This is DEEP!
I wonder o
hahahaha see gobe....see disgrace...nah him better for oga jona make him go hide emm face llllloooooollllll
naija is just full of drama, GEJ has prove that he wants peace with everyone at least sending gift won't stop him from choping our money if he wants to.
thank you very much it is a big truth, a time to show love irrespective of our political parties.
That's very GOOD.
He rejected the cow simply because he thinks he deserves better than that. If GEJ had given him N1b would he reject it? Or is he trying to say that nobody has ever tried to buy/bribe him. Why hasnt he gone public about the gift from other govt officials. NONESENSE.
