I totally agree with alibaba it's a funny fact though, why pray or preach about breakthrough to a person when you can actually be an instrument in realising that dream for that person... #smartclown#
Am fully behind alibaba on this, and I also want to butress the fact that you don't have to billionaire to empower others, start with what you have, it might be paying the school fees of someone. And God will bless you drastically
Ali Baba you funny o.But truth be told,he made stand up comedy what it is today. This guy is so popular amongst the elite and the political class that even Obasanjo wrote the foreward of his book.
Linda pls I have a testimony and I will love to share it on ur blog to encourage my fellow blogger pls how do I go abt it I can b reached tru goldenamaka21@gmail.com thank
Cant front on that! He was bull eye on it,. The absolute truth n about time somebody puts these out too. Else Church be going like the Pastors n GOs n Revs n Bishops are only concerned about themselves. Da Bro wasn't joking!!!!+!
Very Nigerian... Don't tell ppl how to spend their money. Good idea, poor plan. The church can pony up the money if they are serious. "Let them drop 5m". Does your pastor tell U how to spend your hard earned money #beggarsfeelingentitled
I totally agree with him. If these pastors are gonna follow the Bible in its entirety then they should also remember the part in the New Testament where memebers of the church were made to bring parts of all their belongings so it could be shared amongst the poor. But then again,there're always gonna be poor people in the Church and in the society at large...no amount of wealth sharing by billionaires will change that. There's a mechanism in place that constantly sees to it that poor people are subjugated,I mean,do you really think most billionaires would want the poor to attain their level of financial success? Long as the world exists,there would always be poor people,do the little you can to help the few you know and that's about it.
Well said.its very true.10k is enough to change the life of some people in these so called mega churches.Alibaba is the grand father of comedians and from what I have heard,he has been a big influence on most of them.
The gospel according to Ali Baba and that's just the fact! Churches today are not for the poor, the church is suppose to be the one place where people should get succor after being shunned by almost every facet of the society and yet there too they are shunned! Imagine schools built with the money of poor people and their kids can't attend said schools! This phenomenon is not peculiar to the 21st century churches but all of them! Rich people will show their affluence by buying car gifts for Pastor and priests who have fleets of cars already, while members of the same church go to bed hungry. There is something seriously wrong with churches today and something has to be done about it. How many times have churches raised money for a family or a member of their congregation? Good wake up call Ali baba
Alibaba you are on point, I support you 1000%. Pastors should teach their members that the best way you can show God you love Him is by Loving His images on earth first.. You can pay your tithe into the hands of poor people in the ministry..Na still d same God dey reward..
alibaba for the first time in your life u made sense...everyother fin u have ever said was a joke...i support u on this one, all this church wey thier pastor dey buy autobiography and porsche worth 120million naira..what ve u done to help that girl who wakes up every morning and say m going to pastor i no mention name church in oregun to go and look for husband. Empower her, let her start her own business and leave husband matter for now.
All these pastors and thier flamboyant lifestyle, u can never hear of any politician buy porsche, na only business men, pastor and entertainers...why should pastor fall in a category of vanity...the same tithe wey people dey pay u, wey u suppose use establish churches up and down like my dear adeboye...u use ur own dey buy cars with so much billionairies in ur church...of what does it profit u pastor i no mention name to have all the lamboghini and dont make heaven...thank me and alibaba later.
Thumbs up to Ali Baba. Now time for him to call or write his Pastor. And remember to follow up. This initiative must also take root in his local assembly
God bless d person dt asked him wat he has done, bring fellow comedians in to d business is nothing, as u get money reach mak u start am 4 ur church na
Pls dis is so so true..all dis rich men of God n churches shud also do tins dt will empower d poor ones in their churches..dt way God will bless us more..dnt show wealth alone meanwhile d r pple in church dt cnt even afford deir next meal..am wv u on. Dis one Ali Baba.
pastors are the ones that are suppose to help poor members of their church not the billionaire members.The billionaires pay huge tithes and offerings to the churches and sponsor most of their programmes,while the pastors uses the tithes to buy private jets that takes billions of dollars to maintain and build universities that are beyond the reach of their poor members.what does a pastor want to do with 4 jets?
Moral conscience speaking. Alibaba's idea is brilliantly thought out and given freely. Government should buy into this idea quickly and send a bill to assembly as a matter of critical urgency and the lawmakers should pass the bill into law stating all religious houses as a per-requisite must have a department of human empowerment or cannot operate applicable to churches and mosques e.t.c .The future direction for churches who wish to be relevant in 5yrs time with proven results of people they have empowered and changed their lives for the better . Only people like Madiba saw life from your perspective. Ride on ALIBABA!!!!!!!!!!
True talk. Not all those rich men dat come to church to flaunt their wealth and yet, they can't help the needy. They keep giving to pastor that has got more than enough. God help us.
I have to comment (This is my first time of commenting on this blog but I just have to comment)Ali baba is soooo right. I mean God blesses us to be a blessing to others. If we preach the above in church, then why don't we start practicing it in church. It will go a long way in eliminating poverty in our midst. We shouldn't wait for the government to start something. We should start from wherever we find ourselves cos they said and I quote "charity begins at home." you can not tell somebody that God is good without showing God's goodness to the person. It all begins with giving. MOI.

That's a fact, Bros Ali gave me my first 3 piece Blazer suite just because I was an artiste Manager then managing Ogus Baba in 2004 and gave me tips to becoming a Good Brand Manager, now I run my own events management agency with MTN and NBPlc as my clientele,
Good comment Ali Baba, But unfortunately the need of nowadays church are very very long that the billionaires cannot finish them talk more of empowering the poor. A church with good auditorium will require branches, and where there are branches, it will require to have a good camp ground along Lagos - Ibadan Expressway, the cost of acquiring the land and building it to specification will take years. It does not stop at that o, cause when eventually the camp ground is ready then there will be need to have a private university. Baba, when will the billionaires complete all these and still have time for the poor members of the church?
This. Exactly my point. You don't need comfort to go to heaven. As u are spreading the gospel plssssss spread the. Help to the needy for a better nation. Having. Surplus takes u to no were. Helping people stand on their. Feet. Makes you their STAR. Like. Dey said don't judge. I will share the little I have how about u. A land with kitchen line 1 or 2 bedroom for 30 people if you can afford it. can change an armed robber youth to an entrepreneur. Spread the love and not greed it kills. Billionaires on forbes gives arms to Africa. So what does billionaires. In Africa do????. That was a good one Ali.
True talk Bros. How can a member contribute money for project building in a church after which the member is not allowed to go inside the particular building .its very sad.
His 500% right dey'll c u treckn n dey'll jst drive past u but u all came out frm d same house of God. U ar dia Neighbor nside d church wen una leave d church u turn a stranger.
True talk BABA....If u have d Capacity to empower pple.pls do bcos if u don't some of them may end up becoming touts and thieves.And u know they will run after u(they may kill or rob u)So be wise and empower people around u so dat u can enjoy ur life and properties.
Ali is just bloffing just to trend on tweeter. How many pple as he helped? Same ali that tweet against help online even wen u rilly need it. Too many fake celebs.
Some Pastors are business Men and Women,and if they encourage empowerment they won't meet der targets.(private jets,beautiful buildings for church,Rolls-Royce,Range and so on)
My church has an empowerment programme..they give folks cash and expect them to return it in bits till they finish payment(no interest).But pple still run away with church's money..The church can't definitly continue running @ a loss..different pple attend church for different reasons ..
I support churches should use encourage this also they should use part of there lucrative tithes and first fruit to empower there members as oppose to buying private jets etc
He's saying d bitter truth! Many of d billionaires compete with one another in churches as to who drives and owns d most xpensive and exotic cars! They Can't even help d need, yet some of d pastors won't preach that cos of fear of loosing them frm d congregation! God is watching!! A time shall come that d billionaires will be dictating for d pastors as to d kind of sermons they want during church services!
WHAT'S THE WORTH OF BEING WEALTHY, WHEN YOUR NEEDY NEIGHBORS DOESN'T BENEFIT FROM IT? i LOVE THIS @ ALI BABA...THANKS FOR MAKING YOUR TRUE THOUGHTS HEARD!
Bad One Baba. U re just an hypocites,so dat people can notice u give alms. So all d Billinaire churches and members should BC it on CNN, aw much dey give or help. Mchweeeeeee.
true talk... just that people tend to over-react on issues bothering religion....they wont see the message in what he just said rather they will attack him quoting one irrelevant portion of the scripts condemning what he just said...
Ali, exactly what am go'n thru now.Some people need as little as 100k to start up something. The thing is that church is preach'n giv'n and act'n keep'n. I'M CHIMAMA*White Asha 200*
Anon 2:49 sharrrrrap if u hav nofyn +v to say ode olodo oshi ashiere so wat if he wrks 4 dem. @least he is sayin d trruth n he helps. N u wc 1 r u doin to beta anybody's... Ali baba God bless n increase Ɣø̲̣̣̥U̶̲̥̅̊r wisdom sir...
Ali baba u too de talk. So d only pple uve empowered are comedians. Leave God's anointed alone. Go and read more abt David and saul. David decided to leave God's annointed alone. Pls make every body face him front.
Yes, I agree, some churches do that so they can even do more! The catholic church operates one called. 'St Vicent de Paul' linda pls post my comment for once
The rich won't give not even an iota of what they have,that's why there are many too poor nigerians because the rich don't help the poor.. Ali you too can set the pace and others will follow.
Bcos say wetin happen. Did u help dem work 4 d money. If dey want 2 give 4rm deir mind ehn ehn dats a different not u MUST bring 5m naira bcos u re a billionaire. He worked 4 his money let odas do same nd stop depending human being. Depend on God
Not a bad concept just dat Nigerians can go funny wt ds...dtz whn u see dem bring all dr problems 2 d billionaires in dr chuc 4getin' dy also worked 4 dr moni.
Anonymous (the first comment)it is that selfish reasoning that is still making Nigeria the way it is. I agree with AliBaba. He didnt say give them free money, he said create empowerment opportunities for them so they can be self reliant and not have to come meet you everytime they need help. that way they can grow and even help others as well.
He is speaking the truth, the church can bridge thew gap between the rich and the poor...But theses days everyone is interested in their pocket..They sef want to make nuf money that would last till their 3rd generation.
It is obvious..Alibaba has helped people..Can the church also say who they help on a montly basis..instead of driving bentley and looking for how to acquire a jet.And you have lots of people suffering.
Look at the first comment here... Do people have to be foolish. Someone spreading a positive msg and see what u had to say on ur comment...check urself before u wreck urself.. Na so in dey start...
Mstchew. Y na always DM this guy dey get?? Hmmmm abeg no one asked u anything. Did u encorage any comedian financially? And question what NGO do you run?
Dont attack Alibaba.if you gather sense you would see the sense his making..ELrufia points accussing fingers you attack him,Obasanjo point accussing fingers you attack him...It seems you people are not thinking of your children generation.
Well said. If every church can embark on this empowerment programme, there would be a significant difference in this nation no matter how little. Even individuals that have the means should try to at least empower one person. RCCG Lifegate parish iis into dis kind of empowerment but there are conditions. God bless nigeria.
I totally agree with your Ali Baba,its such a shame that you find a great disparity between the rich and the poor even in most of our churches.The rich only mingle and sit next to another rich friend,and are not willing to lend a helping hand to the poor.
shut up alibaba....what have you done for other that u are making noise? who told you they don't empower others? why must they work and give all their money to empower others?....abeg shut your mouth
He is making sense but 9jas r jst naturally self centred nd want glory frm material things dat don't matter....yea der is no church dat doesn't have a financial committee but wuld dey do the needful xcpet wen church wan buy car/chairs/send pastor to oversea on a program or do sme eye service tinz....but help d basic needs of pple dey won't but some churches dey try sha...doing their best in their own little way.... May God help us all to do the right thing.... Amen.
U r so on point Alibaba... Pastors these days are selfish and greedy... After their well being alone... Got jets, but have members who can barely wear a good pair of slippers! Just baffled at the blind followership from so called christians without initiative.
I don't have any comment to leave here. I'll just go ahead and @ this stupid old man on twitter. These are the ones that create corruption in churches.
Development in a church is everyone's responsibility. But I said I wasn't going to talk...
I totally agree with Allibaba because I have a personal experience I would love to share. I worshipped in a particular church in Lekki for years being active in the choir all the while I was there. Two of the soo called "big men" were impressed with my cause of study and promised me good placing upon graduation. When I graduated from the university, I informed them I had graduated and the moment I did, they stopped picking my calls and were never seen in church. I sent series of mail and text messages ( eventhough they did not see the mail atleast they would have definitely seen the mails and the messages) but they never called. I wasn't deterred and I met some other"rich men/women" whom I knew had their companies and could definitely fix you somewhere reasonable should they not have vacancy. What killed my spirit and made me leave was the fact that they published my job search in the bulletin for months and kept announcing it yet none of them could help instead they asked me to be praying and keep searching when I know its a small problem they could gratuitously fix for me.
The moment I left the church, the jobs just started coming. My advise, never trust in man.
Peeps be 4getn their roots once they make it big. lured by the machinations of fake pastors, they would rather spend for "God" while God's people die of hunger, lack & want. thats why i thumps up Ali Baba
Alibaba no well how many people im don empower make billionaires drop their cash na him help dem make am any how dude has got a point a little form these mega rich dudes wont hurt dem
Some people re just retard,hw can u say cuz u workin for em,must u work for people b4 billionaires can render help,hw much do they wanna spend?ali baba is ryt,wen u take some1 outta poverty,its only natural for him or her to help some1 else,so life can b better for every1..nice 1 ali baba
He is right, I once said this. Covenant Christian Centre is one church I know that offers money to entrepreneurs with business ideas. I don't know how much the church is worth but the pastor is obviously sensitive to the plight of Nigerians.
I have always say it, we need to enpower our members, otherwise we encorage stilling cos if u are in a church and ur pastor has fleet of exotic cars in his garage meanwile u don't even know what u will eat when u leave service it is very partetic, provide a place in d church where members with needs can register
i know most Nigerian pastor worshippers are going to bash him, but lets be real its called redistribution of wealth that's precisely what Obama is doing with American tax increase (read up on it if you don't know what am talking about). In a society or environment where things work, everyone should know that they have a communal responsibility to care for their neighbor... No one is saying just dash away money, but pastors ask money everyday for one project or the other, how about ask for money to empowerment your fellow worshippers? How can you have peasants and billionaires worshipping in the same place and a "man of God" or anyone with conciseness don't see the need for some members to help others. He's right not everyone needs a life overhaul and even those who do need it, it might not take as much as you think to get them started. If you go to a church with millionaires and you are having trouble paying school fees or trouble feeding, the church should be able to help, maybe not all the time, but sometimes, it's called membership enrichment, after all, when one benefits from such program, they are more likely to help others via the same program... For those of you that will disagree, please what do you think charity begins at home means, after-all the early churches progressed by sharing what they have amongst other members, that's caring for your neighbor, it is the job of the pastors to spearhead such, not just requesting money for everything else... Humans should value human life and well begin over other things!!! Just my 2cents
Some people just come to this blog to say shit! His making a whole lot of point if the dust in some commenters head wouldn't allow them see it. When you teach a man to fish or sow a seed to a man, the seed germinates to a plant and eventually a tree with branches... Nice one Baba!
Alibaba I agree with u on empowerment but drop it down to also include millonaires like urself, y only the billonaires? anyway I just want to express my anger at what I saw at General Hospital Ikeja yesterday and today, I think Nigeria is a very very sick country, a lot of poor nigerians are dying for lack of good and proper treatment everyday, the doctors are trying but they lack so many things to help improve their work, with all our oil wealth!!! JUST HOW SICK CAN A COUNTRY BE? I blame all rich and influential Nigerians who are doing nothing to help..Linda please stop flashing new cars and houses of people all the time and start showing us the problems we got in this country, if ure not part of the solution then ure part of the problem
God bless Alibaba. I have not benefitted from his philanthropic donations personally, but I have heard a lot of things he has done to help others: especially students. He's more than qualified to say this. Others should learn to bless less privilege people, not only in religious places.
He hasn't spoken bad about pastors u idiot, shut up n go back to read his tweets. It was just an advise, which we all know is true and d pastors have an option of taking or leaving it. Mtcheeeeeeeeeew. OMOTEE has spoken jooo
One state of mind of mine wants to agree with him and the other doesn't. The issue here Sir is while most of us are pure hearted that is a loooonggg run - No be by force to HELP person- so all these billionaires can keep some of their not so pure money - some just don't want to. If Beyonce and Jayz or Oprah alone have money more than one little starving nation why are there so many of them? If just Bill Gates, Dangote and Oprah said lets make Zimbabwe rise again they'd do it so erm why isn't it happening? It's the game of life!!!!! In my "not-yet-there" state I help to my last penny but not everyone is like me or thinks like you- it keeps variety- thats the unfortunate world we live in and May God bless the pure hearted - Amen
baba u are right...but remember the poor shall not cease from the land...Am sure the rich can help pull some people that are trying to come up too..but bros..there is no cure for those who are really poor at heart....even if u dash them all ur riches...they will become poor again...poverty is majorly of the heart!
Please guys lets not always generalize on this issues to all churches, I can tell u a good number of churches here in lagos that are heavily into feeding the poor and empowering the youths, they have schools on empowerment and even very robust curriculum with experienced professionals to lecture you, but if you are the type that is always criticising the church from afar, that will always limit you from benefitting from their programmes, a lot is happening under your noses so please we all also have a duty to be openminded and objective and willing enough to learn the positives from some churches instead of throwing stones at them.
Have you guys ever thought of dbanj, don jazzy,davido tiwa savage and all your other idol celebrities try to do anything constructive and positive to empower the very young people they make their wealth from? No, instead its to keep buying cars and houses to flaunt and to keep drinking and getting high, easy to blame churches, Nigerian youths are seriously endangered species but a lot of people only see their vantage point and forget to give back cos they are reaping profits from the situation, they make all look okay and alright
because a pastor or a rich man hasnt helped you dosent mean he hasnt helped anyone... must he give out all he has worked hard for before people can say he has given.... pls give these pastors a break... if its soo easy why dont you find salvation yourself and get rich so you can give it all out to the poor... like it or nt alot of pastors are trying... and alot of them have impacted positively one way or another in many peoples life... im sure if i get to your church i will still meet people dat are struggling..... why dont you give out all your properties to them.... life is an individual race... if you want to give you give....im nt saying it is bad to give im just saying you dont impose it on people... you can advice people to give or even beg them too when neccessary but dont get all sarcastic and judgemental about it....and pls dont judge pastors or rich men... alot of them help people in ways you dont know... there are millions of people suffering all around the world and the fact that they havent helped you or anyone one close to you dosent mean they havent helped others..... they all worked for their money.. be it bussiness or running a church.... none of it is easy... it takes work... lets all learn to give for givers never lack... giving is gud... but first pay someones school fees before you accuse another of nt paying someones school fees....

Religion is the poison that will eat us up like cancer in Nigeria, Religion must have killed more than any disease since the beginning of this world. Religion is an establishment where money is taken from the poor and given to the rich, Even according to religion, God himself/herself or both , has a way of moving with time and civiliazation. God was so much in support of slavery and slaughter of innocent people, sometimes according to the bible and I am certain it is there in the Quran.Leaving the word "holy" out for both. God will tell the Israelites to go ahead and kill a whole tribe of people, no leaving anyone behind, then God became civilised and it was only black people that are meant to be taken as slaves , beaten, chained and killed for fun, because the people who came down to Africa and started enslaving us were Christians before they came down to Africa. But God gave them the go ahead, I can imagine how much the James , Williams, Philips and those english guys who came to Africa will go back to church to give thanks to God for letting them catch enough slaves after each trip, then suddenly God became civilised again and it was no right for black people to be taken as slaves, Not mentioning the Roman Empire when the Church rulled the world with Iron fist and anyone who said anything Unholy like what I am typing now about the Church will be killed( something like the way the Muslims will react when someone writes something Negative about Prophet Mohhamed (Salale wa salah) not sure how I was suppose to write that but anyway the whole point of this is to let you know Religion is BS. Designed by some genius and perfectly created to Fuck with the human mind. Then it became to unspeakable to call someone Gay or someone to admit they are gay but all of a sudden God does not allow discrimination of gay people and now churches are embracing homosexuality even the unthinkable happened recently when a US Imam came out to admit he is gay. I dont understand what a christian President of Nigeria with Nuclear power would do if Isreal were to attack us or a Muslim President should one Crazy Saudi king decide to extend his tentacle. The moral of this long story is . I wonder what happens to all the good Muslim, Buddist, Jews, Sango Worshippers who go about their normal lives without hurting no body but they do not believe in JESUS CHRIST, will they go to Hell and if that is not the case like the Pope said recently , that means the Bible is not such a perfect book anyway. On a final note, dont mind my spellings or grammatical construction, Just try and think with a free mind and think about what you just read be you Christian, Muslim or whatever you have decided to fuck your brain with. Lets start emancipating ourselves from Mental slavery. Jesus is white and the Devil is Black, Angels are white................... If you are a christian ot Muslim and probably due to the the fact that all this would be so hard to explain for anyone in Nigeria because of the level of illiteracy , go to church , follow the rituals so as to seem normal , but do not drop a penny, help that little kid in your area pay his school fees, help that widow struggling to take care of her kids, help that disabled man get a wheelchair or something with that money. Rohinga Muslims are dying everyday in Myamar and most of them are living on water and mudy environment because they have been chased away by Myamar monks, out numbered and rejected by Bangladesh , I wonder how many of them would fit into all this our greedy Pastors jet? I wonder how much it would cost a church to get them a shelter , school and feed them for as long as possible, probably right in the middle of Maduiguri. How is mode of preaching Gospel of Jesus Christ to them not better than flying in private jet to pray for some bunch of yahoo boys in Malaysia ?? Common who the F is fooling who?
omo steph,i was reading your comment when i came across"dont impose people to give"you may be a pastor.But do you know pastors imposes their members to donate tithes and offerings in large amount too?I had been to a church where pastor berated congregation for donating #5 to #20.Giving food to needy is not empowerment.You can ask him/her their profession.capitals may be their obstacle.some people are trickish tho,you should test and investigate them if they are truely what they claim. *cheers*
This is a good talk. Hmmmnnn I pray, God will open our eyes to the need of others. People are so confortable when they use you to achieve what they want not minding what you want to become.

I concur with Alibaba..

Ali Baba you funny o.But truth be told,he made stand up comedy what it is today. This guy is so popular amongst the elite and the political class that even Obasanjo wrote the foreward of his book.
He make some sense tho, the rich should learn to help the poor so their own life and the society at large can be meaningful. *ThatFunctionGuy*

Very Nigerian... Don't tell ppl how to spend their money. Good idea, poor plan. The church can pony up the money if they are serious.
"Let them drop 5m". Does your pastor tell U how to spend your hard earned money #beggarsfeelingentitled
Nice 1 Ali Baba,I rep you.
Yea am in full suport he is making serious sense
The pastors won't support that cos they want all the money for themselves
THIS MAN IS SO SO SENSIBLE.PLS CHURCHES SHOULD DO SOMTIN
For his pocket,not everyone gives
I totally agree with him.
If these pastors are gonna follow the Bible in its entirety then they should also remember the part in the New Testament where memebers of the church were made to bring parts of all their belongings so it could be shared amongst the poor.
But then again,there're always gonna be poor people in the Church and in the society at large...no amount of wealth sharing by billionaires will change that.
There's a mechanism in place that constantly sees to it that poor people are subjugated,I mean,do you really think most billionaires would want the poor to attain their level of financial success?
Long as the world exists,there would always be poor people,do the little you can to help the few you know and that's about it.

The gospel according to Ali Baba and that's just the fact! Churches today are not for the poor, the church is suppose to be the one place where people should get succor after being shunned by almost every facet of the society and yet there too they are shunned! Imagine schools built with the money of poor people and their kids can't attend said schools! This phenomenon is not peculiar to the 21st century churches but all of them! Rich people will show their affluence by buying car gifts for Pastor and priests who have fleets of cars already, while members of the same church go to bed hungry. There is something seriously wrong with churches today and something has to be done about it. How many times have churches raised money for a family or a member of their congregation? Good wake up call Ali baba
There is some truth in dat,but most of d very wealthy pple dnt like to empower others. Dey only like to give u little, I dnt knw why dey do dat
Absolutely! I agree with him.
it is well wit U Alibaba IJN, pls tell dem o bcos all we see now is ppl coming to church to do wealth contest instead of helping the needy
God bless this man. He said the truth. I pray and hope our ppl will listen and act on it.
God bless you alibabab
God bless u alibaba
Nd he is rite,way 2 go alibaba
I totally agree with him
Alibaba you are on point, I support you 1000%. Pastors should teach their members that the best way you can show God you love Him is by Loving His images on earth first.. You can pay your tithe into the hands of poor people in the ministry..Na still d same God dey reward..
It true o...nice thought bro.
Totally in agreement. Nice one Alibaba.
True talk. I have always thought of this long ago but instead the pastor empower themselves, buying expensive cars and jets. #Godiswatching
alibaba for the first time in your life u made sense...everyother fin u have ever said was a joke...i support u on this one, all this church wey thier pastor dey buy autobiography and porsche worth 120million naira..what ve u done to help that girl who wakes up every morning and say m going to pastor i no mention name church in oregun to go and look for husband. Empower her, let her start her own business and leave husband matter for now.
All these pastors and thier flamboyant lifestyle, u can never hear of any politician buy porsche, na only business men, pastor and entertainers...why should pastor fall in a category of vanity...the same tithe wey people dey pay u, wey u suppose use establish churches up and down like my dear adeboye...u use ur own dey buy cars with so much billionairies in ur church...of what does it profit u pastor i no mention name to have all the lamboghini and dont make heaven...thank me and alibaba later.
Yesboss says so...yarb me and catch fire
I dont see the point in what alibaba is saying here...... Alibaba, if i huzzle for my money sumbody else should go and do the same....
Preach sir
Preach sir
WORD!!
Helping someone should be a thing of the heart ok..... And yu talk of leaving the church if the billionaires is not helping.... Mehn yu are funny....

I agree with him. If I can get a 100k nw, my life will neva remain the same again.
Thumbs up to Ali Baba. Now time for him to call or write his Pastor. And remember to follow up. This initiative must also take root in his local assembly
Grt n frank idea 4rm a comedian. Nonii
God bless d person dt asked him wat he has done, bring fellow comedians in to d business is nothing, as u get money reach mak u start am 4 ur church na
This Alibaba of a guy is HIGHLY GBESOKE, i luv u my guy.
Pls dis is so so true..all dis rich men of God n churches shud also do tins dt will empower d poor ones in their churches..dt way God will bless us more..dnt show wealth alone meanwhile d r pple in church dt cnt even afford deir next meal..am wv u on. Dis one Ali Baba.
pastors are the ones that are suppose to help poor members of their church not the billionaire members.The billionaires pay huge tithes and offerings to the churches and sponsor most of their programmes,while the pastors uses the tithes to buy private jets that takes billions of dollars to maintain and build universities that are beyond the reach of their poor members.what does a pastor want to do with 4 jets?
Because you are working for them???
True talk oga Ali,most pastors don't care o so far dey r doing well.
Nice One Baba.
True...I am with you on this Ali_Baba
I Totally agree with his submission,the church should also alleviate poverty in the country.
Moral conscience speaking. Alibaba's idea is brilliantly thought out and given freely. Government should buy into this idea quickly and send a bill to assembly as a matter of critical urgency and the lawmakers should pass the bill into law stating all religious houses as a per-requisite must have a department of human empowerment or cannot operate applicable to churches and mosques e.t.c .The future direction for churches who wish to be relevant in 5yrs time with proven results of people they have empowered and changed their lives for the better . Only people like Madiba saw life from your perspective. Ride on ALIBABA!!!!!!!!!!
True talk. Not all those rich men dat come to church to flaunt their wealth and yet, they can't help the needy. They keep giving to pastor that has got more than enough. God help us.
I have to comment (This is my first time of commenting on this blog but I just have to comment)Ali baba is soooo right. I mean God blesses us to be a blessing to others. If we preach the above in church, then why don't we start practicing it in church. It will go a long way in eliminating poverty in our midst. We shouldn't wait for the government to start something. We should start from wherever we find ourselves cos they said and I quote "charity begins at home." you can not tell somebody that God is good without showing God's goodness to the person. It all begins with giving. MOI.

That's a fact, Bros Ali gave me my first 3 piece Blazer suite just because I was an artiste Manager then managing Ogus Baba in 2004 and gave me tips to becoming a Good Brand Manager, now I run my own events management agency with MTN and NBPlc as my clientele,
So true, God bless u Ali Baba, please keep up wt d good work and God ll continually reward u.
It actually makes sense,and shouldn't be restricted to pastors alone,but every other rich,wealthy&famous in the country. Zurielle's Opinion
Baba u have done more than enough in ur own field. Empowerment, empowerment and empowerment. That should be the watch word
Good comment Ali Baba, But unfortunately the need of nowadays church are very very long that the billionaires cannot finish them talk more of empowering the poor. A church with good auditorium will require branches, and where there are branches, it will require to have a good camp ground along Lagos - Ibadan Expressway, the cost of acquiring the land and building it to specification will take years. It does not stop at that o, cause when eventually the camp ground is ready then there will be need to have a private university. Baba, when will the billionaires complete all these and still have time for the poor members of the church?
True Talk!
Only if they wil hear!!!
On point.
Lmao. What type of jacket is that? I know he is comedian and all but WTF!!!
Yeah yeah to his message
This. Exactly my point. You don't need comfort to go to heaven. As u are spreading the gospel plssssss spread the. Help to the needy for a better nation. Having. Surplus takes u to no were. Helping people stand on their. Feet. Makes you their STAR. Like. Dey said don't judge. I will share the little I have how about u. A land with kitchen line 1 or 2 bedroom for 30 people if you can afford it. can change an armed robber youth to an entrepreneur. Spread the love and not greed it kills. Billionaires on forbes gives arms to Africa. So what does billionaires. In Africa do????. That was a good one Ali.
U av spoken well.
Daddy tell them. 1 private jet can empower over 1000 people
True talk Bros. How can a member contribute money for project building in a church after which the member is not allowed to go inside the particular building .its very sad.
Billionaires don't owe anybody anything.
This is a lil bit selfish on his part. It's like the theory of rats debating who would bell the cat.
Why did he not mention "millionaires" ? Or is it because that's where his class is and he would then be propelled to do more for the society?
The point is, everybody has a role to play, no matter how little.
The persistent pressure on billionaires is uncalled for
His 500% right dey'll c u treckn n dey'll jst drive past u but u all came out frm d same house of God. U ar dia Neighbor nside d church wen una leave d church u turn a stranger.
My comment has been approved.
True talk BABA....If u have d Capacity to empower pple.pls do bcos if u don't some of them may end up becoming touts and thieves.And u know they will run after u(they may kill or rob u)So be wise and empower people around u so dat u can enjoy ur life and properties.
Ali is just bloffing just to trend on tweeter. How many pple as he helped? Same ali that tweet against help online even wen u rilly need it. Too many fake celebs.
Words in holy bible is very easy to read but to practise is very cumbersome. ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥♡thanks ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥
Yes boss thumps up for u
So true boss!
@Anon 2:49pm, he is not working 4 dem, but he speaks nothing but d truth, go hug a wet transformer. Mtchewww.
Some Pastors are business Men and Women,and if they encourage empowerment they won't meet der targets.(private jets,beautiful buildings for church,Rolls-Royce,Range and so on)
My church has an empowerment programme..they give folks cash and expect them to return it in bits till they finish payment(no interest).But pple still run away with church's money..The church can't definitly continue running @ a loss..different pple attend church for different reasons ..
Well said Ali Baba, just wish U can tell it to those people up there. We knw U are Aso Rock official comedian.
I support churches should use encourage this also they should use part of there lucrative tithes and first fruit to empower there members as oppose to buying private jets etc
I love this man
Nigerian celebrity Scandal News
God continue to bless u 4 dis Alibaba.
He's saying d bitter truth! Many of d billionaires compete with one another in churches as to who drives and owns d most xpensive and exotic cars! They Can't even help d need, yet some of d pastors won't preach that cos of fear of loosing them frm d congregation! God is watching!! A time shall come that d billionaires will be dictating for d pastors as to d kind of sermons they want during church services!
I support totally! Totally!
i agree with Ali on this one, instead of them ripping their congregations off and wasting millions and billions on cars!!! RUBBISH!
Great words
The truth is always bitter , go and get a life since u don't like change
WHAT'S THE WORTH OF BEING WEALTHY, WHEN YOUR NEEDY NEIGHBORS DOESN'T BENEFIT FROM IT? i LOVE THIS @ ALI BABA...THANKS FOR MAKING YOUR TRUE THOUGHTS HEARD!
Bad One Baba. U re just an hypocites,so dat people can notice u give alms. So all d Billinaire churches and members should BC it on CNN, aw much dey give or help. Mchweeeeeee.
Well said Ali baba!!
true talk... just that people tend to over-react on issues bothering religion....they wont see the message in what he just said rather they will attack him quoting one irrelevant portion of the scripts condemning what he just said...
Ali, exactly what am go'n thru now.Some people need as little as 100k to start up something. The thing is that church is preach'n giv'n and act'n keep'n. I'M CHIMAMA*White Asha 200*

You are obviously a coward, don't need any form of identification. People like will remain poor cos u lack the understanding of giving.# Ewobi#
I totally agree with him,,,its the truth,,,,,,,
Dtz if d pastors incharge wil giv proper account of d mony..evribody b greedy diz days pastors inclusive..Lord av mercy
I totally agree with.I hope pastors will do that.
Ali baba u too de talk. So d only pple uve empowered are comedians. Leave God's anointed alone. Go and read more abt David and saul. David decided to leave God's annointed alone. Pls make every body face him front.
Let's take time and think this over. It is the hard truth.
Yes, I agree, some churches do that so they can even do more! The catholic church operates one called. 'St Vicent de Paul' linda pls post my comment for once
The rich won't give not even an iota of what they have,that's why there are many too poor nigerians because the rich don't help the poor.. Ali you too can set the pace and others will follow.
#mr CODED PEN
Nice tinkin bro
Bcos say wetin happen. Did u help dem work 4 d money. If dey want 2 give 4rm deir mind ehn ehn dats a different not u MUST bring 5m naira bcos u re a billionaire. He worked 4 his money let odas do same nd stop depending human being. Depend on God
Not a bad concept just dat Nigerians can go funny wt ds...dtz whn u see dem bring all dr problems 2 d billionaires in dr chuc 4getin' dy also worked 4 dr moni.
Anonymous (the first comment)it is that selfish reasoning that is still making Nigeria the way it is. I agree with AliBaba. He didnt say give them free money, he said create empowerment opportunities for them so they can be self reliant and not have to come meet you everytime they need help. that way they can grow and even help others as well.
Its true biko
If only them go gree help
C.E.O
He is speaking the truth, the church can bridge thew gap between the rich and the poor...But theses days everyone is interested in their pocket..They sef want to make nuf money that would last till their 3rd generation.
Well spoken oga Ali!!!!!!
Its a nice move. I concur Baba o.
It is obvious..Alibaba has helped people..Can the church also say who they help on a montly basis..instead of driving bentley and looking for how to acquire a jet.And you have lots of people suffering.
Look at the first comment here... Do people have to be foolish. Someone spreading a positive msg and see what u had to say on ur comment...check urself before u wreck urself.. Na so in dey start...
That is true nice one ali baba this has be going true my mind 4 a very long time
God bless U Papa Zara... Pls Help Tell Them O...
Mstchew. Y na always DM this guy dey get?? Hmmmm abeg no one asked u anything. Did u encorage any comedian financially? And question what NGO do you run?
Dont attack Alibaba.if you gather sense you would see the sense his making..ELrufia points accussing fingers you attack him,Obasanjo point accussing fingers you attack him...It seems you people are not thinking of your children generation.
True talk!!!
Well said. If every church can embark on this empowerment programme, there would be a significant difference in this nation no matter how little. Even individuals that have the means should try to at least empower one person. RCCG Lifegate parish iis into dis kind of empowerment but there are conditions. God bless nigeria.
Very true..
I totally agree with your Ali Baba,its such a shame that you find a great disparity between the rich and the poor even in most of our churches.The rich only mingle and sit next to another rich friend,and are not willing to lend a helping hand to the poor.
I agree with him on this one...
Gbam!!!
Alibaba wat u say is true dat will go along way to help people n build up a good society
Tel dem alibaba
shut up alibaba....what have you done for other that u are making noise? who told you they don't empower others? why must they work and give all their money to empower others?....abeg shut your mouth
He is making sense but 9jas r jst naturally self centred nd want glory frm material things dat don't matter....yea der is no church dat doesn't have a financial committee but wuld dey do the needful xcpet wen church wan buy car/chairs/send pastor to oversea on a program or do sme eye service tinz....but help d basic needs of pple dey won't but some churches dey try sha...doing their best in their own little way.... May God help us all to do the right thing.... Amen.
Papa T.
True, I agree with him!
Dats fact
Ali baba u r true man of God, show dem
U r so on point Alibaba... Pastors these days are selfish and greedy... After their well being alone... Got jets, but have members who can barely wear a good pair of slippers!
Just baffled at the blind followership from so called christians without initiative.
Senor
Starting with the pastor who's the first billionaire!!!
Nah...they will rather buy $30k wrist watch na! Empowerment like how??? Lolz...
I don't have any comment to leave here. I'll just go ahead and @ this stupid old man on twitter. These are the ones that create corruption in churches.
Development in a church is everyone's responsibility. But I said I wasn't going to talk...
I agree with him
This is some real Dude. He's not a fake ass wannabe who after hitting it big forgets his struggling peeps.
Good one Ali Baba
I totally agree with Allibaba because I have a personal experience I would love to share. I worshipped in a particular church in Lekki for years being active in the choir all the while I was there. Two of the soo called "big men" were impressed with my cause of study and promised me good placing upon graduation. When I graduated from the university, I informed them I had graduated and the moment I did, they stopped picking my calls and were never seen in church. I sent series of mail and text messages ( eventhough they did not see the mail atleast they would have definitely seen the mails and the messages) but they never called. I wasn't deterred and I met some other"rich men/women" whom I knew had their companies and could definitely fix you somewhere reasonable should they not have vacancy. What killed my spirit and made me leave was the fact that they published my job search in the bulletin for months and kept announcing it yet none of them could help instead they asked me to be praying and keep searching when I know its a small problem they could gratuitously fix for me.
The moment I left the church, the jobs just started coming. My advise, never trust in man.
Peeps be 4getn their roots once they make it big. lured by the machinations of fake pastors, they would rather spend for "God" while God's people die of hunger, lack & want.
thats why i thumps up Ali Baba
Some pastors will tell u dat dey r not d government
I agree with him
Alibaba no well how many people im don empower make billionaires drop their cash na him help dem make am any how dude has got a point a little form these mega rich dudes wont hurt dem
Baba, leave talk ojare....na so e be, na so e go remain. Help ko, empowerment ni
Some people re just retard,hw can u say cuz u workin for em,must u work for people b4 billionaires can render help,hw much do they wanna spend?ali baba is ryt,wen u take some1 outta poverty,its only natural for him or her to help some1 else,so life can b better for every1..nice 1 ali baba
He is right, I once said this. Covenant Christian Centre is one church I know that offers money to entrepreneurs with business ideas. I don't know how much the church is worth but the pastor is obviously sensitive to the plight of Nigerians.
I have always say it, we need to enpower our members, otherwise we encorage stilling cos if u are in a church and ur pastor has fleet of exotic cars in his garage meanwile u don't even know what u will eat when u leave service it is very partetic, provide a place in d church where members with needs can register
i know most Nigerian pastor worshippers are going to bash him, but lets be real its called redistribution of wealth that's precisely what Obama is doing with American tax increase (read up on it if you don't know what am talking about). In a society or environment where things work, everyone should know that they have a communal responsibility to care for their neighbor... No one is saying just dash away money, but pastors ask money everyday for one project or the other, how about ask for money to empowerment your fellow worshippers? How can you have peasants and billionaires worshipping in the same place and a "man of God" or anyone with conciseness don't see the need for some members to help others. He's right not everyone needs a life overhaul and even those who do need it, it might not take as much as you think to get them started. If you go to a church with millionaires and you are having trouble paying school fees or trouble feeding, the church should be able to help, maybe not all the time, but sometimes, it's called membership enrichment, after all, when one benefits from such program, they are more likely to help others via the same program... For those of you that will disagree, please what do you think charity begins at home means, after-all the early churches progressed by sharing what they have amongst other members, that's caring for your neighbor, it is the job of the pastors to spearhead such, not just requesting money for everything else... Humans should value human life and well begin over other things!!! Just my 2cents
Some people just come to this blog to say shit! His making a whole lot of point if the dust in some commenters head wouldn't allow them see it. When you teach a man to fish or sow a seed to a man, the seed germinates to a plant and eventually a tree with branches... Nice one Baba!
Alibaba I agree with u on empowerment but drop it down to also include millonaires like urself, y only the billonaires? anyway I just want to express my anger at what I saw at General Hospital Ikeja yesterday and today, I think Nigeria is a very very sick country, a lot of poor nigerians are dying for lack of good and proper treatment everyday, the doctors are trying but they lack so many things to help improve their work, with all our oil wealth!!! JUST HOW SICK CAN A COUNTRY BE? I blame all rich and influential Nigerians who are doing nothing to help..Linda please stop flashing new cars and houses of people all the time and start showing us the problems we got in this country, if ure not part of the solution then ure part of the problem
God bless Alibaba. I have not benefitted from his philanthropic donations personally, but I have heard a lot of things he has done to help others: especially students. He's more than qualified to say this. Others should learn to bless less privilege people, not only in religious places.
I second you mr akpos... do you guys even know that the name "akpos" was generated from Alibaba's name lol
I agree with u 100% imagine dose xtian university ar expensive dn normal 1 is it not suppose 2 b 4 d poor
He hasn't spoken bad about pastors u idiot, shut up n go back to read his tweets. It was just an advise, which we all know is true and d pastors have an option of taking or leaving it. Mtcheeeeeeeeeew. OMOTEE has spoken jooo
i concur with the tweets
Linda how can I adveritse on ur blog!!!!!!where's ur office!what's ur no.am ur namesake too.
I only agree him.
send a mail to lindaikeji@gmail.com
One state of mind of mine wants to agree with him and the other doesn't. The issue here Sir is while most of us are pure hearted that is a loooonggg run - No be by force to HELP person- so all these billionaires can keep some of their not so pure money - some just don't want to. If Beyonce and Jayz or Oprah alone have money more than one little starving nation why are there so many of them? If just Bill Gates, Dangote and Oprah said lets make Zimbabwe rise again they'd do it so erm why isn't it happening? It's the game of life!!!!! In my "not-yet-there" state I help to my last penny but not everyone is like me or thinks like you- it keeps variety- thats the unfortunate world we live in and May God bless the pure hearted - Amen
baba u are right...but remember the poor shall not cease from the land...Am sure the rich can help pull some people that are trying to come up too..but bros..there is no cure for those who are really poor at heart....even if u dash them all ur riches...they will become poor again...poverty is majorly of the heart!
I agree wit Ali 10%, don't myd them many of them re buying private jet nd cars building manssions everywhere greediness want 2 kill them mtcheeeeeew
I agree wit Ali 10%, don't myd them many of them re buying private jet nd cars building manssions everywhere greediness want 2 kill them mtcheeeeeew
Please guys lets not always generalize on this issues to all churches, I can tell u a good number of churches here in lagos that are heavily into feeding the poor and empowering the youths, they have schools on empowerment and even very robust curriculum with experienced professionals to lecture you, but if you are the type that is always criticising the church from afar, that will always limit you from benefitting from their programmes, a lot is happening under your noses so please we all also have a duty to be openminded and objective and willing enough to learn the positives from some churches instead of throwing stones at them.
He said some truth in his tweets most rich ppl in church don't empower their fellow church members
Have you guys ever thought of dbanj, don jazzy,davido tiwa savage and all your other idol celebrities try to do anything constructive and positive to empower the very young people they make their wealth from? No, instead its to keep buying cars and houses to flaunt and to keep drinking and getting high, easy to blame churches, Nigerian youths are seriously endangered species but a lot of people only see their vantage point and forget to give back cos they are reaping profits from the situation, they make all look okay and alright
Just exactly what was on my mind before I read this post...God Bless you.
Just exactly what was on my mind before I read this post...God Bless you.
because a pastor or a rich man hasnt helped you dosent mean he hasnt helped anyone... must he give out all he has worked hard for before people can say he has given.... pls give these pastors a break... if its soo easy why dont you find salvation yourself and get rich so you can give it all out to the poor... like it or nt alot of pastors are trying... and alot of them have impacted positively one way or another in many peoples life... im sure if i get to your church i will still meet people dat are struggling..... why dont you give out all your properties to them....
life is an individual race... if you want to give you give....im nt saying it is bad to give im just saying you dont impose it on people... you can advice people to give or even beg them too when neccessary but dont get all sarcastic and judgemental about it....and pls dont judge pastors or rich men... alot of them help people in ways you dont know... there are millions of people suffering all around the world and the fact that they havent helped you or anyone one close to you dosent mean they havent helped others..... they all worked for their money.. be it bussiness or running a church.... none of it is easy... it takes work... lets all learn to give for givers never lack... giving is gud... but first pay someones school fees before you accuse another of nt paying someones school fees....

Dumb dumb,he wasn't cracking a joke.this girl is just so silly.aarrrghhhh.
Religion is the poison that will eat us up like cancer in Nigeria, Religion must have killed more than any disease since the beginning of this world. Religion is an establishment where money is taken from the poor and given to the rich, Even according to religion, God himself/herself or both , has a way of moving with time and civiliazation. God was so much in support of slavery and slaughter of innocent people, sometimes according to the bible and I am certain it is there in the Quran.Leaving the word "holy" out for both. God will tell the Israelites to go ahead and kill a whole tribe of people, no leaving anyone behind, then God became civilised and it was only black people that are meant to be taken as slaves , beaten, chained and killed for fun, because the people who came down to Africa and started enslaving us were Christians before they came down to Africa. But God gave them the go ahead, I can imagine how much the James , Williams, Philips and those english guys who came to Africa will go back to church to give thanks to God for letting them catch enough slaves after each trip, then suddenly God became civilised again and it was no right for black people to be taken as slaves, Not mentioning the Roman Empire when the Church rulled the world with Iron fist and anyone who said anything Unholy like what I am typing now about the Church will be killed( something like the way the Muslims will react when someone writes something Negative about Prophet Mohhamed (Salale wa salah) not sure how I was suppose to write that but anyway the whole point of this is to let you know Religion is BS. Designed by some genius and perfectly created to Fuck with the human mind.
Then it became to unspeakable to call someone Gay or someone to admit they are gay but all of a sudden God does not allow discrimination of gay people and now churches are embracing homosexuality even the unthinkable happened recently when a US Imam came out to admit he is gay. I dont understand what a christian President of Nigeria with Nuclear power would do if Isreal were to attack us or a Muslim President should one Crazy Saudi king decide to extend his tentacle. The moral of this long story is . I wonder what happens to all the good Muslim, Buddist, Jews, Sango Worshippers who go about their normal lives without hurting no body but they do not believe in JESUS CHRIST, will they go to Hell and if that is not the case like the Pope said recently , that means the Bible is not such a perfect book anyway. On a final note, dont mind my spellings or grammatical construction, Just try and think with a free mind and think about what you just read be you Christian, Muslim or whatever you have decided to fuck your brain with. Lets start emancipating ourselves from Mental slavery. Jesus is white and the Devil is Black, Angels are white................... If you are a christian ot Muslim and probably due to the the fact that all this would be so hard to explain for anyone in Nigeria because of the level of illiteracy , go to church , follow the rituals so as to seem normal , but do not drop a penny, help that little kid in your area pay his school fees, help that widow struggling to take care of her kids, help that disabled man get a wheelchair or something with that money. Rohinga Muslims are dying everyday in Myamar and most of them are living on water and mudy environment because they have been chased away by Myamar monks, out numbered and rejected by Bangladesh , I wonder how many of them would fit into all this our greedy Pastors jet? I wonder how much it would cost a church to get them a shelter , school and feed them for as long as possible, probably right in the middle of Maduiguri. How is mode of preaching Gospel of Jesus Christ to them not better than flying in private jet to pray for some bunch of yahoo boys in Malaysia ?? Common who the F is fooling who?
LINDA U MUST POST THIS OOO. I hate typing

omo steph,i was reading your comment when i came across"dont impose people to give"you may be a pastor.But do you know pastors imposes their members to donate tithes and offerings in large amount too?I had been to a church where pastor berated congregation for donating #5 to #20.Giving food to needy is not empowerment.You can ask him/her their profession.capitals may be their obstacle.some people are trickish tho,you should test and investigate them if they are truely what they claim.
*cheers*
This is a good talk. Hmmmnnn I pray, God will open our eyes to the need of others. People are so confortable when they use you to achieve what they want not minding what you want to become.
Food for thought
