The statement was contained in a video posted on his Facebook page, apparently recorded while the cleric was ministering in one of his Sunday church programmes.
He said, “The most dangerous people in this world are poor people. Poor people are dangerous. Poor people are ‘a set up’. I am being honest to you.
“One of the things God said when I was praying, I will give some covenant that will always guarantee you wealth. One of them is ‘be kind to the poor’. I have been doing that all my life.
“But the people that have come after me in this life are all poor people. And I have been wondering what I have done. When somebody is calling out my name on social media, go and check, it’s the poor. And I ask why don’t the rich accuse me?
“Why is it that everybody that is accusing me is broke and poor? It is because I have a covenant that I will not go after anybody that is poor?
“If you see me go after anyone, know that they have done too much. If it is a rich man, know I will come after you immediately because I know you have the capacity. But someone that has no capacity, knows they are setting you up for trouble.
“You come after them, God will come after you. You see why poor people are set up. You come after them and someone will come after you. You have the capacity to grind the person to powder but God has the capacity to grind you to powder too.
“My hands are tied. And the poor, they don’t know how to stop. The poor people are ingrate, most poor people are ingrate.”

Let the poor breeeeet
ReplyDeleteAnd the poor will still take out of the little they have to boost your offering every Sunday…it is well
ReplyDeleteThe most dangerous are the poor wicked hearts, once you stop being kind to them they will start planning for you .
ReplyDeleteAnd if Jesus was on earth he would have been your loudest critic, and yes, he was poor and from a bad neighbourhood. If you can’t take criticism on earth, how you going to take it where you are going?
ReplyDeleteWhen Jesus was on earth ,he was poor and also from a poor neighbourhood like you mentioned, but he was known for doing good. Being poor doesn't make one a saint . You can be poor and as well be doing evil. Go check those so called 'village people ' most of them are wretched.
Delete@14:56 and @15:30 Who told you Jesus Christ was poor? You may say He was born poor but He was very rich. Why do you think the soldiers that arrested Him were fighting to get his clothes? Baba's drip na the best of designers of that time. Dey play
Delete15:42 😘
DeleteHe is quite right though, the poor, and not just the Physically poor, but the spiritually bereft, very wicked and bitter souls, anon 14:56, Jesus wasnt poor on earth and isnt...He owns the universe, yet he 'became' poor,so that we may be rich!
ReplyDeleteIn context, he is right. Literally, he is wrong.
ReplyDeleteI don’t even understand what he is saying. Why is he coming after the poor? With what is happening in Nigeria now? They are already down, how much further down does he want them to go?
ReplyDeleteThere are some things you say and eon things you do not say.
Any way, we are all on planet earth. And God is watching.
The situation of wickedness in Nigeria is because we do not love each other or help each other. Every body is selfish.
Let the poor be abeg.
Poor are just good at all
ReplyDeleteHelp the poor if you know that you have the means and resources to do it,be kind in life.
