The Pastor-in-Charge of Youth Province One, The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Joseph Palace, FESTAC, Lagos, Leke Adeboye, has declared that fueling the free buses providing transportation between Lagos and Ogun States to Nigerians cost the church over N63m in just seven weeks.

The initiative, spearheaded by the church, involved 10 buses shuttling commuters between key routes in Lagos, including 7up, Victoria Island, FESTAC, CMS, Ikorodu and Mowe in Ogun State.

Adeboye told our correspondent on Saturday that in addition to covering transportation, RCCG ensured the welfare of drivers and volunteers who utilised the waiting period to preach messages from Open Heavens, the church’s daily devotional also cost N10m.

He revealed that each bus carried 80 engers per trip, completing two daily trips, five days a week.

Also, over the period, the buses transported an estimated 56,000 people, cutting down commuting costs significantly for Nigerians of all backgrounds, including Christians, Muslims, atheists, military personnel, students, and law enforcement officers.

According to Adeboye, this initiative saved each enger an average of ₦40,000 weekly.

“The buses were accessed by everyone, regardless of religion or social status. It was our way of easing the financial burden on Nigerians. Fueling alone cost over N63m.

“The free buses were entered by all, Nigerians and non-Christians, Muslims, traditionalists, atheists, Twitter warriors and abs and accs of the church. Students, military persons and everyone from all works of life.”

“The buses have also served students, military personnel, and law enforcement officers—both in and out of uniform—as well as less privileged groups like area boys and agberos, we spent N10m on this.

“The free bus initiative has been open to all Nigerians and even non-Nigerians, irrespective of their faith or status. It is a testament to the church’s commitment to serving humanity without discrimination. 10 buses x 80 souls x 2 trips per day x 5 working days a week. What number did you get?, ” Adeboye said.

The province, in September, announced in a statement that “The initiative aims to ease transportation costs while also providing spiritual care and guidance.

The statement disclosed that buses will depart from Mowe, Ibafo, Berger, and 7UP at Car Park C (near Redemption City) to CMS, as well as from Festac, RCCG Joseph’s Palace, Apple Junction, to Victoria Island and Lekki.”

Technically it's the people transporting themselves as the funds come from their offerings and tithes and any other way the church can squeeze more money out of them gullible souls.
NB: See these religious zombies without a mind of their own making lame excuses and attacking me. You lot will remain slaves for life. Most of y'all still won't make heaven 😂

Sometimes, when you do something for someone but he refuses to acknowledge it, you need to brag a little. They abuse the church as if church is their government.

You that are not gullible, what difference have you made in the world. Muslims kill you, your government kills you, but you get angry with the church.

TUANKU:

Shut up you dummy...tomorrow go and give your coins to daddy GO. I have made much difference than the charlatan you adore and call G.O.

You are the biggest dummy here for presuming he is my Daddy G.O. just because I told you the truth. Most Nigerians are so stupid they say the "truth" only when it favors their sides. I don't attend Redeemed Church dear but it's very f00lish of you to be taking out your frustrations against them.

Whoever is giving his/her money to them is doing it willingly. So, it shouldn't be your headache. And, as you can see, they are impacting the society with the money.

These buses convey people of all backgrounds as the pastor explained yet your absolute stvp!dity again made you say it's the church getting back their money. You are making impacts yet you're only known as Tuanku on Nairaland. I h8 nonsense!

The same divine intervention that has basically resulted in the utter decimation of the minds of the Nigerians and the nation as a whole over the last 40-50 years? Tufiakwa! 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

It's a sign of mental illness to try and dictate how another person should spend his/money. That's an unhealthy obsession.

If I choose to empty my entire annual salary into the church, I don't think it's your entire life's business, is it?

Wonder what this dirty gay always smokes....

What's the big deal about that. Is the money not from contributions you took and accumulated in trillions over the years of the business, you are simply giving back after so many backlashes from the people. So shut your dirty mouth and do more. After all, you haven't stopped collecting, so continue doing it.

Church is in the HEART not a building. Church also is the gathering of breathen in open place mostly ot roofed. When tow or three are gathered in my name, it doesn't mean roof over a head.
The man message of Christianity had been preached, it's left for does to be the doers not every Sunday preaching. The Bible is also dia for one to read. A word is enough for a wise not words of every Sunday

You sha no get sense
