Haba Jeremy,
Surely, these cannot have seriously been uttered as words in the sentences as presented.
Surely, this would make the Word of God completely inscrutable to the congregation.
But then, it possibilities are there. :-)
Rotflmao!!! Who came up with this??
Too too funny.
Well, well...
Is this why people love his church so much?!
Naijas have always loved embellishments. Can't blame the guy.
@ akin - very typical of okotie. his language is very bombastic. ordinary folks would find it difficult to flow with his preaching
Did u ever watch him on tv? APOCALYPSIS or so the tv show was called
I remember the 2003 presidential campaign. Chris Okotie addressed the House of Assembly right after Ike NwaChukwu. Rtd. Gen. NwaChukwu addressed the House in Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba and Pidgin. Then Okotie came up, and scattered the House...
LMAO!
or: cachinnating until such a time as my posterior would detach and be precipitated.
LMAO! this is so true you need two books to listen to this man's sermons a bible and a dictionary
isnt this ironic?! Akin on Chris Okotie.
in advance and anticipation of being labelled,
A. Coward.
(Love your blog akin, but..ahem, a few less words?)
Another joker who leads Nigerians down the path of narrow-mindedness, dogma, superstition and all round stupidity.
But no, he is hailed as a man of God.
Please! Please! Please!
Think! Think! Think!
In 2001, I was on holiday in 9ja wih my hubby who hadn't been to 9ja since 1988. We were watching a programme and Chrish okotie was being interviewed. We were totally bemused at the amount of big big oyinbo he was blwing . WE didn't have a clue of what he was talking about.
this is the funniest thing I have heard all day
Anyone remember when Chris was still a popstar? "Show me your Backside" and so on?
someone should introduce him to the campaign for plain English!
Just imagine if Okotie had been Nigeria's president' Na so so bib grammer the guy for dey hammer and nothing more.Who knows-he could have done better than 'Baba go slow.

I find this oddly amusing. You are almost just as bad, so is it okay if I laugh at you too?
