average of N5, 000.00. You may wish to begin to record the N50.00,<br />

N200.00, N400.00 and sometimes N750.00 or other denominations<br />

you frequently buy, you will discover that you will spend more than<br />

the stated N5, 000.00. The church came up with an aggressive cheap<br />

Glo Cug group to which many people are reluctant to embrace. You<br />

must discover to recover. Lets take for an example this scenario:-<br />

400 conference leaders (from Prelate, Archbishops, Bishops, Lay<br />

Presidents and other categories of officers) of the church who usually<br />

spend an average of N4000.00 monthly to make calls would spend a<br />

total sum of N1, 600,000.00 per month.<br />

If the same number acquire the Glo Cug Sim card, they would pay each<br />

N1,000.00 monthly and a total aggregate sum of N400,000.00<br />

monthly leaving a credit saving balance of N1,200,000.00 per<br />

month. You can imagine how much the church would gain per year of<br />

eleven months granted that the first month; the same individuals used<br />

the sum of N3, 000.00 each to acquire the Sim cards.<br />

The church from only the same people would have saved whopping<br />

sum of N13, 200,000.00. Indeed “my people are destroyed for lack of<br />

millions of Naira every month on mobile network communication<br />

alone. Only some of the leaders know exactly why they do not want to<br />

encourage their ministers to embrace scheme. Some of our leaders<br />

have embraced it. Their family members are using the network and<br />

they are saving huge in comparison with their previous expenditure<br />

profile.<br />

Our chief executives have unlimited budget for communication as it is<br />

funded by the church. What about ministers of other categories who<br />

cannot afford the needed fund to call the members of their families?<br />

We must not perish after this seminar.<br />

6. BARRIERS TO EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION: Let me represent here<br />

what was culled from the internet as the barriers to effective<br />

communication.<br />

The choice of words or language which a sender uses (called<br />

'encoding the message') will influence the quality of communication.<br />

In the English language, there are about 500 basic words that are used<br />
