This morning 27th October 2013, I got into a blackberry chat with my coach and amiable aburo Deji (aka, Coach of the Titans). His Ipad was snatched in the Ajah traffic and I noticed the message on his BB DP, and a conversation ensued. Read the full unedited script below:
Bc Bee™ (Ibadan Ajorosun):
Am sick of the churches cos they are so materialistic. They are capitalists in disguise.
Their schools are too expensive even members cant afford to send their kids
They pressure members for tithes, offerings and make them feel if they cant give a fat offering they are inferior to those who give or they are sinning
We need to liberate our pple from the grips of our clerics
Amin. We need massive prayers not prosperity messages.
Thats what is causing more crime. It makes pple over ambitious! And desperate to gather material things.
We need to preach a life of service, perseverance and patience
Hard work, and peace. How to ensure your actions does not affect your neighbour in adverse ways. How to be our neighbours keeper
And the pastors shld live a modest lifestyle and be charitablE not jetting about in private jets etc.
Bc Bee™ (Ibadan Ajorosun): God is not in all that Shenanigans
Coach of Titans: These words can’t stop here
Bc Bee™ (Ibadan Ajorosun): Thats why the more churches are springing up, the more the moral decadence in our societies gets worse
Coach of Titans: Imma tweet a few out myself. #WordsFromBcBee
Bc Bee™ (Ibadan Ajorosun): Am fuming with rage! Honestly
Coach of Titans: I feel it. I hate to be your keypads right now
Bc Bee™ (Ibadan Ajorosun): Churches should emulate Pastor Sam Adeyemi, he teaches the word and he teaches lifestyle skills
Coach of Titans: But truth is, the TRUTH comes strong
Bc Bee™ (Ibadan Ajorosun): For now. Dunno about others that fly about in private jets etc
Bc Bee™ (Ibadan Ajorosun): If I have an opportunity today. I will preach healing, forgiveness so we can get healed from the hurt from being oppressed, robbed, cheated, slandered etc then encourage our pple to embrace love, peace, charity and hard work
Bc Bee™ (Ibadan Ajorosun): Each one help one. Take baby steps to building our nation
Coach of Titans: Amen to that!
Bc Bee™ (Ibadan Ajorosun): Provide lifestyle skills to pple! Create opportunities
Nigeria will work again! We can get there!! But we need great leaders with vision!!!
Then zero tolerance for crime and indiscipline
Our leaders must b e compelled to lead exemplary lives. Not just any dick and harry being voted to power
Bc Bee™ (Ibadan Ajorosun): Then things will start to work
Bc Bee™ (Ibadan Ajorosun): Trust me! Thats my model of good government
Coach of Titans: Mummy, you better come back with a manifesto like this and get your campaign on!
Coach of Titans: Evil thrives when good men do nothing
Bc Bee™ (Ibadan Ajorosun): Hmmmm
Coach of Titans: Don’t hmmm it o!
Coach of Titans: Try it 1st. Let it be that you attempted and failed
Bc Bee™ (Ibadan Ajorosun): I need prayers
Coach of Titans: But TRY is key
Coach of Titans: You can’t have this FIRE for nothing
Coach of Titans: See my dm
Bc Bee™ (Ibadan Ajorosun): I want to start a movement for better values. I want to raise Stars of the Nation (SON) or stars of Nigeria
Bc Bee™ (Ibadan Ajorosun): Then the members can rise to become political leaders and public place officers
Bc Bee™ (Ibadan Ajorosun): I am not interested in politics. But I am interested in raising leaders
Bc Bee™ (Ibadan Ajorosun): Lots of them
Bc Bee™ (Ibadan Ajorosun): Credible, moral leaders
Coach of Titans: Each man change one
Coach of Titans: I like
Bc Bee™ (Ibadan Ajorosun): I will start a religion called Nigeria Beckons
Bc Bee™ (Ibadan Ajorosun): Each one change one, help one, support one! Etc
Bc Bee™ (Ibadan Ajorosun): Please join me. Lets make a real difference
Bc Bee™ (Ibadan Ajorosun): Hmmmmm
Coach of Titans: If you sell this pitch like this everywhere, you clearly have ppl’s buy-in

Well this concept is not a bad idea. I’ve always dreamed to set a goal so big that if I can achieved it, it would blow my mind. To be successful you need attitude and commitment. And with the mentor by your side, you’ll be able to choose between what you want now and what you want most. May God bless Nigeria Beckons and make this dream come true!

I completely agree with your thoughts; I am always in a state of shock over how people get brain-washed by these so called religious leaders. I recall bringing a friend back to her senses after she had been completely brained- washed, she was obviously living a lie till I had to intervene!! May thus dream come to pass!

Not until govt start to tax churches; the extravagant lifestyles of our pastors will not stop. May God help us.
