James 4:16 – ‘As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.’
Psalm 49:6 – ‘Those who trust in their wealth and boast in the abundance of their riches?
Proverbs 11:2 – ‘When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.’
2 Timothy 3 : 1 – 5 : ‘But understand this,…’ etc

Men who encourage people to defraud the nation, under the guise of god’s grace.
They set up secondary schools and universities which average parishioners are not able to afford for their wards.

In any case, they own houses abroad!
They invest a lot in aircraft. It’s like they evangelize while air borne.

To the generality of Nigerians, I say ‘E kuu suuru’!
But one day go be one day!
