@joylas:
that's why i like Bishop Oyedepo: he can't charge for a service. though
the security at Living Faith Church will subject you to scrutiny before
you freely go inside.

their reward to come speedily. Take a look @ the choir they sing with
joy showing in their faces.

Very
sad indeed though they claim to have their reasons.. So its left to
those who feel like they have a reason to be compulsory present since
its a matter of choice. But write up of you journalist is always
funny, everyday we get to read about a particular 'source' who doesn't
want to be mentioned, come on this news is everywhere! y'all quit the
editing.
Stanlon Özil Madridista Igbins
Does not change the fact that d person still doesn't want his or her name to b mentioned.and Endy respected that.

@opara:
yes, i have to confirm it first before i push it out. @ yeah, the
popularity of a news story dosent mean it is true. You just have to dig
deep so you don't mess up. thanks for your comment

Nobody force you to attend the crossover service. If you can't afford just go to another place. And I don't believe dat news.
John Ifiok

convocation arena was nt yet completed dere4 the #1000 was justified
but, it got completed in 2013 and this extortion stil continues. . .
