| Bishop Oyedepo flanked by aides |
Here's how Africareview.com is reporting it:
Nigeria’s richest pastor and self-styled bishop, David Oyedepo, has made a glistening addition to his business empire by floating an airline called Dominion Air. Oyedepo, who a few years ago ignited debate on flamboyant Christianity by acquiring his fourth private jet, is the owner of Dominion Publishing House, Covenant University and an elite secondary school called Faith Academy.
What's your thoughts on this?Sources within the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), the agency charged with business registration in Nigeria, confirmed the registration of Dominion Air with David Oyedepo as its chairman. Another source within a Lagos-based insurance firm known to handle most of Oyedepo’s businesses said the airline project had been in the works for six years and was only made a reality this year. The broker who balked at putting figures to the number of aircrafts so far purchased authoritatively said none of them is on lease.

Linda, ibiakwa ozo. Hia! Hapunu nwoke a aka ka ozuo ike. Akam adighikwa ya. #apuom.
ONOME says.............................
This is one tory where I no go talk o.Before people will cuss out my generations:)))))))
Ride on sir.
You slap pikin for church nothing happen,in fact people dey hail you say you be MOG,you even talk say you go do am again.
Okare sir..
For as long as people remain encased in self deceit and refuse to separate moral,religious and criminal issues then I guess they deserve all they get.(not cryptic for those who allow themselves to think honestly)Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery,none but ourselves can free our minds....
God bless us all.
p.s he is an astute business man I give him that
It's not our business whether He wants to float an airline company or not. I know people would come here
and start accusing him of using people's money as tithe
and offering. Did He force them to give out their money? Please let's leave the man of God alone.
The Church is moving forward and the tide is turning. Economic power and the nation's wealth is coming into the Church. Hallelujah!!!
It's obvious that some people who call themselves men of God are indeed con artists in disguise. They hide under the cloak of religion to swindle people and extort money from even the people in abject poverty.
I'm a Christian, a Catholic Christian quite alright, but I definitely do not believe in being gullible around opportunistic con artists who pose as the Men of God (MOG) that they are not.
Bishop Oyedepo or whatever he calls himself is superlatively materialistic; he is so much interested in living large, which sharply contrasts the preachings in the bible. What amazes me, though, is the fact that people see a con artist in action and still consciously go further into quick sand. How long will it take you to realize that you're sinking fast, and that very soon the quick sand will engulf you?
This so-called pastor slapped a young girl in front of the congregation all because he felt he had so much power to brutalize the girl while the people powerlessly stood aside and looked. That's not how a true MOG should handle stuff. He ought have handled it in a way that Jesus would.
And about him floating businesses like a sprinkler? This guy, people should realize, is out there to make as much money from gullible followers as he could reach deep into their bank accounts. In my honest opinion, I believe this man is up to no good as far as handling the spiritual welfare of his followers. He simply needs to stop his scam or face the wrath of God whom he's defying.
People need to wake up from their comatose states and learn to think with their brains and not their butts. Open your eyes wide enough to detect greed and tricks in people that pose as MOG when they are indeed con artists in disguise. How can you be making money for a lying and fake "MOG" when the signs are so obvious? What's wrong with y'all?!!!
I thought the Bible says "build up treasures for yourselves in heaven..." With $150m worth of asset, c'mon!!! Christians should have free education already, for instance. Where the government has failed, the church shouldn't. My take, I'm not saying doing financially well is bad for a christain figure, all I'm saying's don't just accrue wealth and create businesses that'll not be accessible by the average or majority...such that'll bring questions over the crux of christianity...Love shares...love affects...learn from the Okorochas & the Gates...to whom much is given...much is expected from...
God is blessing Bishop Oyedepo through the work of his hand. It is encouraging and inspiring to see Christians competing head on with other businessmen....Bishop Oyedepo is a sound businessman cum servant of God!!! We celebrate with him on this feat
More than 70% of his congregation cannot afford a plane ticket. Most of his congregation cannot afford the N300,000 + sch fees for his schools. So y extort money from them in d name of tithes, offerings to open businesses dat ur members can't use. My uncle and his family have bin addictively and dedicatedly attending dis dude's church for over 15yrs. They hold him in higher esteem Dan God. They adhere strictly to tithing and offerings in church. My uncle cannot afford to send his kids to a public university not to talk of Oyedepo's private uni. His oldest daughter has bin home for over 6 yrs cos they do not have money for uni. Yet, their home church has a sch. I find it really disheartening and upsetting. And pls, no one should tell me anything about touching the Lord's annoited b4 I curse u out.
Let God judge let's not put ourselves in trouble judging for Him....some might say he's a scam while others might say its the hand of God....so let God do the judging :D

Linda i know what u want hear; i dont just whn africans will stop seeing pastors as poor church rats.You and other critics of Oyedepo have not seen anything.He(Oyedepo) is only practicing what he preaches. He is not just a pastor, he is also a businessman of the highest order.
Check his books on wealth and prosperity.He is setting example of 'living his teaching'.At least una no say he duped anybody for these projects.And don't it is our offerings that is making all these happen.
Look at the good side of all these : Nigeria economy is becoming more vibrant; more than 2,000 people already have jobs via these initiatives etc
Don't bother urself too much.He is living his dream !! u too can dream
humm....i av bin waitin for u to post dis on ur blog since yest...oya all d attackers shd strt attackin d man!! * grabbing popcorn nd coke*
Lmao lemme sit bak n wait 4d comments.linda don start
I know it's wrong to judge people, but seriously, what concerns a man of God with owning an airline company? Is that what God called him for?
I'm sure there are lots of poor members in his church who barely get enough to eat, but still manages to pay their offering and tithes every week. He should focus on teaching the word of God, and helping the poor n needy.
It's these same pastors that'll open universities, yet none of their church member would be able to afford it because of the high fees. Let's be honest, who is deceiving who?
Sometimes i wonder if they're really pastors or business men because of their lifestyle.
Nigerians are so desperate for miracles, they blindy follow any person who claims to be a man of God.
But remember this, God is watching us all.

How can you be making money for a lying and fake "MOG" when the signs are so obvious? He doesn't have to live lavishly when some of his followers aren't able to afford two good meals in a day and some of them are barely able to afford anything. What's wrong with y'all, people?! There are still genuine MOG somewhere. Don't give Christianity attackers (Atheists) reasons to attack us the way they do. Fake and opportunistic pastors make us all (Christians) look really bad.
About time too!
Now let's see how an airline company ought to be run!
does anyone have an issue with that? cos I dont!!!
Nigerians have been deceived by religion so much. I wonder when they will wake up and realize that these criminal pastors are only there to enrich themselves. I wish I can become the president of Naija one day, all these pastors go hear am for my hand.
No aircraft is leased? Even major carriers which are financially sound lease their aircraft (depreciating assets)... SMH
If you ask me, that is a big plus for him, the man is born a businessman. And i think other businessmen should copy him.
Well lets see what the haters are going to say...
Very interesting, #porncorn on my hand.
The airline will be marvelous.
Maybe, just maybe, Nigeria will finally have an airline that services Int'l routes and won't charge an arm and a leg!
Business man at heart.
I wil stil go to church n giv tithe n offering whatever pastors like let them b
hmmmm na wa o.
been waiting for LIB to post this...thank God there was no yabbing o!Thank God for this ministry tho...he's probably producing d vision God handed over to him!
I will like to ask, is this the great commission given to us? Is this the example of Jesus?
He should go and use his money to build free schools and shelter for the almajiris and see the next generation transform. He should not tie it to them giving their lives to Christ, they will see another side of life and be less of a problem if they are fed, kept busy and have a direction. Threatening them when he can save the future with money given to him in trust by his congregation instead of siphoning it for his personal use will reflect Jesus.
Linda where r ur bad mouth people oooo shiooo
God bless u for this comment, debby. Play ur part, leave God's battle for God. I like ur comment.
God is watching us from a distance. All of us!! But pls let us remember, that anyone can own any business. This is nothing to do with calling. Engaging in business to make a living aside pastoring is not a sin. Afterall there are part time pastors in our banks, schools and corporate places. Its the same thing. But my only note of caution is that this should not be done by converting God's resources to personal use. And again I also caution that we should not assume that that is what the Bishop is doing.God is watching us all o!!!
flight destination HEAVEN ND TICKET TO GO SEE BABA. lwkm ooooo. Nigeria the most religious country yet most expensive corruption. Olorun a re ejo da. shine ur eyes!
Now we see the reason y nigeria still dey backward... abroad its all about charity and fear of God if at all You are a believer or not. while nigeria church ooo offering oo tite ooo. as if dey enter chuch der evil don finish. oya now Man of God carry go!
Let those reading the Bible upside down shut up abeg !!! Jesus said he was poor that we might, through his poverty, be rich!! MOG are not supposed to be poor again!! The poor ones are being afflicted with ignorance by the devil !! Extreme prosperity is what redemption bought for us.
God bless the legendary Bishop David Olaniyi Oyedepo !! There are no many of ur kind in generations sir !!
Next thing, he'll be running for president! smh
Bishop, is a Man of God also an Enterpreneur. In summary, the man sabi Bible, and Business (BB) weli-weli.
I was in Convenant University and I said "Whaoo!," because of the Facilities, Services, and Academic Standard.
He's also a Publisher, I learnt he's in to Oil and Gas (I stand to be corrected)... so engaging in Airline Business, he's just keeping up to his Business Skills. Man-of-God to soji!
LINDA YOUR BLOG ONLY GLORIFIES WORLDLINESS...WHEN A MOVIE OR MUSIC STAR BUYS A CAR, OH LINDA WOULD SAY THAT SHE IS HAPPY WITH HIM OR HER. EVEN WHEN LINDA BOUGHT HER HONDA 2008 model car IT APPEARED ON HER BLOG. HER TRIP TO THE UNITED STATES WAS PUBLISHED HERE ALSO WITH PICTURES TO PROVE. WHO QUESTIONS LINDA HOW SHE MAKES HER MONEY? THROUGH BLOGGING? TEACH US THE SECRET!
LINDA WHY ARE SO JEALOUS ABOUT MEN OF GOD. MEN OF GOD ARE ONLY ANSWERABLE TO GOD ALONE AND NOT TO YOU LINDA OR ANY BODY.
@ Felix E be careful with what you say abt any man of God because even in the Bible it says touch not ma anointed and do ma prophet no harm, dont incure a curse upon urself, keep ur opinion about MOG 2 ursef, 2 al of u dat re quick to criticising the MOG be slow to speak because any word uttered cannot be swallowed, its nt like wat he did was wrong so why call him names, a word is enough for the wise because i know that evry genuie MOG is a representative of God on earth.
Unfortunately, a church is registered as a non profit making organisation; for this reason, it is not required by Law to pay tax to the Government.
My question is how did a man running an NGO (Charity Mission, aka Church) earn so much and establish businesses without paying any tax to the government.
Now, many people will give the excuse that he writes books, and runs various educational institutions. However, what source of income did he use to establish and run these institutions.
Every other country except the USA and African countries-like Nigeria- have certain stipulated regulations for NGO's. For instance some are given government grants and regularly audited by public watch dogs, to ascertain the public funds are being properly spent. However, in our case, the NGO's aka churches, mosque e.t.c are being transformed into powerful business empires and avenues for money laundering .
What is extremely pathetic is the fact that the average Nigerian-living on less than 3 dollars a day- give their money to these people (assumed to be running a charity organisation) who in turn use it to fund their excesses as well as establish large business empires.
The banks no more lend to the average Nigerian; instead they are now wooing pastors and churches for investment.
It is only fair to say the time has come for churches to pay tax, and pay standard living wages to their staffs since it is no more "a labour of love" being offered by church workers.
He is a business man and a man of god ! Okay #cool story.. So. Why won't he use d money he has to help d poor ?! I.e building free schools and supplying it with hi tech equipments ?! Providing basic amenities in d poor areas .. D list is endless !! HE IS A THIEF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man of god my nyash!!!!! Did u see jesus iving a luxurious life ?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Mcheeww bloody fools in nigeria will continue to give him money SMH I don't care if u say curses will follow WE as nigerians are already CURSED so what's d biggie ?! Mcheew and he slept with my friend !!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!! I said it !!! Bloodycunt ! Infact Linda get ready for d exclusives!! I must convince my friend to tell d whole world !!!
In the name of God business enterprise internation...
@Felix E@ Onome, i tire for this pastor ooh. First, he slapped a young lady who came for deliverance for daring to stand in front of him to say "she was a witch for Christ" Our dear pastor asked her arrogantly, do you know who i am? Abeg who you be? He landed the poor girl a dirty slap. I saw the live video on Saharareporters. As if that was not enough, he said if anyone comes in front of him again to say that, he would slap them again.
Abeg my fellow Christians, how would Jesus Christ have handled this situation? Please be very truthful to yourselves ooh. One well known pastor even bought a Rolls Royce Phantom (£250,000) for TD Jakes his mentor. Now our dear pastor has joined the leagues of Big Boys to float an airline company. Why not resign as a pastor and face buisness if you are such a good buisness man.This is pathetic. The whole of First Class cabin is usually filled with our Pentecostal pastors. When they get to Lagos, they have bodyguards carrying GUNS to protect them, welcoming them. Man of God? Sad.So people, tell me, whats the difference between our Men of God and our politicians. Ok, some tell us what we want to hear abi? Glad i belong to the Orthodox Church.Ooh please enough of the Touch not my annionted. Its not for these crop of people. Sad Sad Sad
He'll probably slap all the almajiris before giving them access to the school. :)
Philip Anschutz,
ANY BODDY WHO FOLLOWS GOD IS A MAN OF GOD..i SEE WHILE PEOPLE ARE SO POOR...AT HEART AND IN THE MIND..SOME OF THIS PASTORS IN NIGERIA CREATE MORE JOBS THAN GOVERNORS IN 4YEARS, IF I WAS A MEMBER OF HIS CHURCH ..I WOULD PREFER..TO GIVING IT FREE TO LAZY MIND AND SOULS ..BUT WOULD RATHER CREATE JOBS..DEM SAY HE IS SCAMING HIS PEOPLE,DO U NO HOW MANY PASTORS AND WORKERS THIS CHURCH IS SUPPORT..NON CHRISTIAN BILLIONAIRE ARE ADORED,CHRISTIAN BILLIONAIRES ARE SUSPICIOUS, ABRAHAM AND SOLOMON WERE BILLIONAIRES AND ALSO MAN OF GOD...IF U NO LIKE AM ..GO DRINK SODA WATER..AM LEAVE D MAN FOR GOD JUDGEMENT.
So you r posting this because He is not like Susan Peters,abi? Because d man no gree grill you with insults(or "prayer" *hehe).
You hurriedly(and secretly) apologised to Susan cos she didnt find your post about her funny *kill me,but dats d truth!!*
Hmmm..........Lindaaaa!!
Now,wat's my opinion on this? *clears throat*
Bishop Oyedepo is a businessman. If you worship in Winners' Chapel and you think he is stealing your money,kukuma leave the church na!
If there's anything this country Nigeria is blessed with,its the gift of churches!.....and we also have freedom of worship!!
Hia!!
There are so many things going wrong already with this country,lets face them and leave other peeps alone.
"every man for himself". That's my take!
*drops hand,sits back and waits to read the next 288 comments coming soon*
hold up, the pastor on the left handside in that picture with the glasses on. isn't that is the pastor who molested kids in his church and was sent to jail in london. Or my eyes are double tricking on me.
@ Onome, anyone that curses out your generations will surely have that curse heaped back on their own heads like hot coals. @ Felix E, you talk am well. @ Nike, you are so right. Meanwhile, why are some Nigerians so gullible when it comes to these Pastors whom act like they dont know God? Please fellow LIB people, has any one of you read Matt: Chapter 23 and specifically vs 23? Pls, pls, pls, pls, guys try and check it out and see what Jesus said concerning tithe etc & where he stated that though tithing is okay, however, there are more important things. No pastor has ever mentioned it on the pulpit to my hearing.
i dont even know what to say.dis man is a business man he shld just leave d church for his pastors n just be monitoring his thing.pple pay tithe and at d end of the day d money goes into what they cannot enjoy.i know how much i dropped as a person as offering and tithe b4 i stopped going there n yet i cldnt go to d convenant university.talk abt misplaced priorities,his church worshippers cannot afford d airline fare i tell you.God dey
Abeg interprete.
Judge nt so dat ye may nt b judged. N awa o, so bcuz e his a pastor e shldnt live his lyf... Nawa 4 mst Nigerians o.. D man is a business man ehen, e az oda means of earning income ke... Nigerians r so judgemental.... Bloody bad belles na until when pastors dey beg una go knw say dem dey serve God. Mtscheeeeeew..
Nkechi!Nkemu!!wetin nah?wat is d meanin of al d "chinese" wey u dey spit.interpret plzzzz!!!
Most NIGERIANS are conmen/con women , so wat do u expect . Typical case of Shepard leading the flock. Stealing in the name of the lord. Linda post my comment or else don't look for trouble by posting this kind of story.
All the winners people are going to come up here against those waging a bogus war against the annoited..i know fit laugh..anyway u missed some stuff
According to Forbes worth $150 million..luxury homes in UK\US..
Linda make u go start church o..with this your blog following..
Lol. The ministry is finally moving to the permanent site in d words of my favorite comic.
Please let it be said that prayer don't keep planes in sky. One fatal accident (God forbid) and the world who chastise him die.
Church my foot.
Wealth is good if acquired the right way; saying the truth about an issue is not judging others - not voicing ones opinion on the evil deeds of others is a sin of ommission. I hope this 'Bishop' do give back to the people of God by donating to charities (motherless babies homes, incubators to hosp for premature babies,donations to those who can't afford hospital bills, ect).
And that's the problem exactly. Prosperity everyday! Prosperity. Its what the people want to hear isn't it? Abeg let me hear word. What happens to the soul? What happens in the afterlife after living a prosperous life here on earth. Isn't that what he ouGht to be truly concerned about and preaching about? Prosperity my big black arse! I used to be a staunch member of Winners, used to love the prosperity sermon, but even that got old at some point. Y'all should stay here and be worshipping ur prosperous pastors o!
Valerie
the earth is d lord n they that dwels in it. pls d blessings n riches of d earth r giving to d children of God. so we must occupy d land
Like how affordable his school is abi? Bloody Nigerian hypocrites. I just pity you guys...
On point. Very well spoken. Very true.
See Bodygaurds...lol..if he happens to be a man of God why does he need that much security??
I heard this Big chuches...it takes sometimes years to wash off the hypnotism..its like a magic spell..hence the giving of tithes..without accountability!!
And the question remains how does this benefit his congregation..all we here is they are sound businessmen..all the followers of the Big pastors def sing from the same hymn book
Dream on! Covenant Uni is not even affordable, talk less intl' route.
Dream on
ROFLMAAAAOOOOOO @ANONYMOUS 6:04PM...I beg tell them or say it again
We nigerians are the biggest hypocrites ever!those so-called twitter activists aka omojuwa n co practically wanted his head during d slapping saga cos they felt it was high-handed of him.now they r praising him n even whipping up bible verses to support him on this decision of his to open dominion airline!always knew they were a bunch of opportunists who talk from both sides of d mouth!
I really don't believe in all these prosperity preachers/MoG.u wanna be an astute businessman,why don't u doo that by working ur butt off from d scratch to get ur money to build ur "business empire" instead of u using ur congregation's tithe n offering(majority of who cannot afford ur sec sch or uni;and who won't even be employed in this latest biz venture) to satisfy ur selfish aspirations!
it is normal.wen u advance in life u attract a lot of haterz.lol
Linda face ur Blog Business and live the Man of God to do His business too...I luv you to bits BUT will not join you to talk against His anoited if anyone feels Bishop Oyedepo is fake they should go and try 1 percent of what he has done and come back with the type of Testimony Linda face ur Blog bring us gist abeg...Am a Bigz girl
This man is a business man as well as a pastor. Just like how I can be a teacher and a pastor. However one would jump to conclusion that tithes are used. You cannot rob God so it is not my battle. I am not in his church so it is not my money.Will like him to mix it with making an impact with the poor or masses like Jesus did. Remember all these ventures are for the rich. I don't know him enough to judge.
Linda do u blog biz &leave men of God alone..don't allow the wrath of God fall upon you .u kip writing about men of God just for pple to critize them.mind ur biz.dnt publish it am happy u read it.
always commenting on the actions of one man. you all should go work out your salvation cause he is using money to lay eternal foundations
The Bible told us in Acts.4:32-38 about Xtians selling their properties and bringing it to the church to share with less privileged members but this is just the reverse of that teaching. Our people continue to fool themselves saying we should not judge,well we are not judging but being realistic. The bible also told us the we should store up for ourselves treasures in heaven not on earth. He has really deviated from the teachings of the bible which is suppose to be our guild. When the missionaries that brought Xtianity to us came, they built school, hospitals and churches, they offered free services both in hospitals and in schools, why are we still deceiving people. So many Nigerians today has been hypnotised and can never see anything wrong in these flamboyant life style of these gods. God will help us but we have to help ourself first.
Mouth sealed!
I just no understand sha
Not criticizing but want to point things out from an earlier read. Most of the old schools at the start of colonization were built by the missionaries who preached Christ. His schools are for the rich & he's preaching Christ. Now airline business won't impact the majority poor who are his followers but going into mechanized farming can affect a lot of lives & create jobs & feed the poor. So how are the poor going to be catered to? Jesus catered to mostly the poor. See my argument?
Mr. Felix u av 2 watch wat u say about d MOG dis is very wrong. U r addressing d man of God as if he is ur age mate. Am not a winner's member but i knw it pleases God 2 bless his servant. What ever u say or write won't stop dat. Come 2 think of it, u don't know his story. I beg u 2 stop writing trash.
We shouldn't judge cos we are not God right, likewise, we should just allow all other worldly condemned criminals to roam the street and wait for God's judgement day.
Yes, he has created job for many through the new biz,if truly he meant well for the masses why didnt he go into FARMING,this will accommodate x100 of the so-called job created by the airline with the same invested sum, and the by-products of the farm will touch all, regardless of the economic status or societal class.
I doubt if Pastor Odulele of Glory House London is now one of his aides!
Kudos to this man of God. Linda i know you dare not post this. Boko haram destroys and christians add to the economy - benefits of Western Education. Mene Mene tekel Uvarsin to Boko.
Rather than make noise, get wise, think nd make yo own money. The same God dat gives to 1 is liberal to al. Covenant university is expensive, unibuja is cheap nd we get r*****h education. Y'al shld just shut up nd stop d criticism. Think nd grow rich too. U knw nufin bout his walk wid God. The bible is cause nd effect. Do what God says nd every other thing wil b added to you

In the last days, Lucifer would use such men to try and mock God. Members of his house of worship are financially incapable of attending institution created from funds from their own pocket. No poverty alleviation means for those impoverished by his place of worship. Just assisting Lucifer achieve his goals.
This is called Wisdom that works..stop hating!!
God is a God of prosperity, thus he flourishes all who serve him truthfully..
This is no crime.. Its shared wealth, job opportunities created for our youths.
If any complained missionary schools are expensive, will people appreciate it if its that cheap? No..
Will any one oppose this airline project if any of the politicians that steal millions want to initiate similar project? No
We need more of this!!
Please Support the progress of our country!!
This is a good thing. As the opening of this airline would not only increase the competition within the Airline Industry but also job opportunities created.
I will continue to say that we Africans especially Nigerians are cowards. Is it better to use ur hard earned money to by BB Porche or Use peoples money to create wealth around us and the elite in our congregation. I am sorry for you al, see as fear don shut up some of una.
Even the bible says beware of false prophets and I see one. I know than even catholics have corrupt priests nd they don't fail to point that out. Once they catch you e don be for you. There is no problem in paying tithes or offering donations to the church, but it is wrong for you to turn a blind eye when you see it misused.
Cowards
As long as there are two set of rules for MOG/COn Artists and politicians --- Nigeria will never move forward. Let everyone continue with the chop-i-chop mentality : )
I see one of the Odulele twins (Albert or Vincent 0f Glory bible church Barking Road London) in this picture.
My thots are Linda you need to mind your damn business before the hand of God descends mightily and trust me unfavorably upon you. Leave my papa alone. If you are unhappy about another progress but progress that comes from your world, deal with it and stop making men of God your topic of discussion. Careful Linda careful
Christainity in it early days build schools n hospitals for the less privilige thru their missionaries, but now the practice is different,rather men of God enrich emselves n family to stupors
I don't get u nigerians,a man of GOD avn an airline,hw does that one relate with the word of GOD,he has a skool dat is very expensive,frm the money of the church,cos I knw he did not get a loan 4m the bank,cos even dangote got a loan,adenuga and co all got loans 4m the bank,his name did not come out that time,so he is obvioulsy using the church money,for all these life style,if his skol I'd free or cheep,trust mi I wld praise him now,but no its not,anyways let GOD b the judge,but I sure knw noting he says wld matter to mi,cos I don't trust him one bit............be a man of GOD win souls,not b a bizness man,nigerians wake up and smell the rat........#dissapointed#
..this may yet be a modern day parable on a momentous scale, it may yet be the most graphic sermon ever #FlyDominion

i have so much to say and Linda if you like dont post my comment,
1. anybody that calls this oyedepo or whatever his name is a pastor is a big fool, or maybe a retard.
2. even the oyinbo people wey introduce christianity to Africa sef no do reach some pastors in Nigeria, in my few years abroad i have never heard or seen a man of God that will do half of what this David of a man has done, from building of Universities which your fellow dumb church members cant afford, to slapping someone in church and being hailed by doing so from your same stupid church members, wow
if only Nigerians can open their eyes, read the bible and understand that being a christian is not all about going to church, paying your tithes and offerings,
what really amaze me is how his stupid church members defend him blindly, like he's a God, yes i know in the bible it is said 'thou shall not touch my anointed or do my prophet no harm' Oyedepo is no fucking Prophet, he is a business man who manipulate his dumb church members to extract money from them to enricch himself,
some people are even scared to talk when they know the truth why because they are scared he will curse them, like what the fuck is he a God? he cant do shit, if all those dumb followers are scared of God or respect God and his word or even scared of breaking the 10 commandment as much as they do to a fellow man like them believe me Nigeria will be a better place,
and yes i know some of you will start saying @annnonymous blablablabla...... and trying to curse me out nah you sabi i really dont care about that and if i see a need to reply you i will and i will def curse you out,
things David needs to do like someone mentioned here: open a shelter, if you can atleast give out free meals twice a week to the needy(believe me he might charge for it sef) own a charity home, i doubt if he is even involved with any charity in Nigeria...........
what kills me so much is that kids are suffering in Nigerian, and this so called man of God is there walking arround with his guards, buying irrelivant things for what? you aint taking shit when you die .............. its VERA not annoymous to make it easy for any dumb person that wanna reply my comment with insults smh.. AND lINDA IF U LIKE NO POST MA COMMENT, still love you tho lol
nothing wrong with him starting an airline... all i wanna know is, why own 4 Private Jets? maybe one for each day of the week, in that case he'd be needing 3 more soon, lol...
all the people asking if that is what God told him to do.....where u there when God gave him the vision? do u have any idea that there are different ministries with different visions? His ministry is that of prosperity and he is simply living by example. Go check ur bible, when Jesus was on earth he wasnt poor, evidence being that people were fighting over his clothes when he was about to be crucified...who would fight over a poor man's clothes? Get over urself mehn...the church is here to show the world the benefits of truly serving God... u can either be part of that change or not...the choice is urs.
Linda dont be stupid and dont incure the wrath of God on yourself especially on this Man of God,let people say whatever they want to say,i usually dont comment on your blog though its open on my browser anytime am online.
For those of you condemning him and passing judgement,especially ''Felix E'' Take him to your court and pass your judgement then sentence him,lets see if that will move him an inch,Mr Foolish.Some people are there stealing and here you are condemning a man of God cos he is creating jobs and making exploits.Is it your fathers money?? Someone said he should build schools for free,really? and the teachers of the school will go home after a round of applaud abi? How do Nigerians reason? If some of you are christians as you claim,God can kill you for saying shit,he is a respecter of no man,dont joke with Gods sovereign decision.LEAVE THE MAN OF GOD ALONE! and other MEN of God,they will face their creator to account.
Dear Bishop Oyedepo
I was thinking something. Instead of spending tons of money buying four jets of which you say you use for evangelizing in distant lands...have you thought of maybe taking that money as well as the one for the aircraft to offer micro loans to people in your state of Kwara? Like maybe $500, $1,000 or $5,000 so that they can use it to start a business and be better able to take care of themselves. Or attempting to influence governors in providing contracts, business opportunities and jobs to workers and so on. That sounds like a good idea and at least people would know you are a true shepherd of the flock God has given you. George Mueller is a person you would need to reference through Google in taking this task up.
By concerned Anon
why should a pastor own a airline. private jets..whyy???.what exactly is his occupation ?? rubbish!! .. heads being brainwashed .. fake pastor.
this is why there are so many 'men of god' today, this shit is like a lottery..its all BUSINESS
all the people asking if that is what God told him to do.....where u there when God gave him the vision? do u have any idea that there are different ministries with different visions? His ministry is that of prosperity and he is simply living by example. Go check ur bible, when Jesus was on earth he wasnt poor, evidence being that people were fighting over his clothes when he was about to be crucified...who would fight over a poor man's clothes? Get over urself mehn...the church is here to show the world the benefits of truly serving God... u can either be part of that change or not...the choice is urs.
by the way...those complaining about him not helping the poor...The bible says..it is better to do good in the secret than in the open, he must'nt write it on his forehead must he? pple like you that step in2 that church once dont wanna ever leave, be there taking panadol for him...if u like decide to remain a church rat bcoz u are a xtian.
Excess money
It shall be well
*lips are sealed* ok ooo
Someone plx Advise Felix Eneh 2 hold his peace...God himself said he will use d foolishness of d world 2 confirm d wise.....whose fault d Bishop is a partaker...If u have a vision, believe me u will neva say dix rubbish again..He has caught a vision,a dream so ask God to open d eyes of ur understanding 2 see above normal and mind u d BISHOP,I ND EVERY ODA WHO BELIEVES,,WE ARE NOT HOMOSAPIENS BUT DIVINOSAPIENS,,,,nt a TERRESTIAL BEING BUT A CELESTIAL BEING.........BE WARNED ALL OF U SAYING RUBBISH...
My bro, thank u very much. U have said everything i wanted to say n have been saying all this while. U tell pple to use the brains dt God gave them to think n reason n they curse u out. It is also d bible the says dt " my pple perish for lack of knowledge". These things r so glaring even a 2yr old can see what is wrong but once somebody calls himself a MOG, most nigerians' brain go on an extended vacation n they accept any bull crap dt is being said
U r a lost cause...
My sis, if u curse them out, i've got ur back 100%. When i tell pple d exact same thing u have just said, dt he is collecting money from his poor congregation to float this businesses dt these pple cannot, they start telling me that "touch not my annointed" thingy. I start wondering, when pple became so gullible, how come common sense has gone on leave.
pastors shouldn't be business men as well IMO - but if he's able to do both then kudos sir
Its funny how folks focus more on other people's faiths than theirs. Focus on you and your families making heaven first, instead of wondering who is living more righteously. God isnt about set rules, because you are used to a Christianity that starts at 9am and ends at 10am, or one that follows set rules, doesnt make it right.
People that point fingers would much rather partner with a thieving politician, and chop money together, than see why a man or woman of God should have a business.
So its ok for you, or your father or brother or sister or uncle to own an airline, but it isnt ok for a child of God? That is exactly what he is, a child of God. People that point fingers are the ones who will donate N50k to their church, and want their church to assign them to front row seat, or will pay tooth and nail to get their knighthood so they can answer Sir and Lady, as if that alone is a guarantee to make heaven.
Even in yankee, strong men and women of God are investors, and many are successful at it. Many men and women of God come into the ministry with a business background, and God uses them to build the kingdom. If I go to Bible school today, I have other degrees, including a business one, so if down the road, God gives me an idea, to help raise money, to be able to do even greater, is that wrong?
See people's mouths like free schools, the ones built by the Catholic, Anglican, Methodist churches over the years, are they free?? My mom went to a great Methodist school back in the day, ran by white folks, and it sure was not free. Why dont you build a school, or a university and make it free? Better still, for those of you whose family members have chopped finish for government why dont you encourage them to build big schools and make it completely free.
Simple, all this na jealousy, and hating. Thats really what it comes down to, because deep inside, you (meaning anyone who fits the description above), wish you can own an airline. Realize that your destiny isnt tied to what any other man does, let God alone be the judge, because He is far qualified than you, I or Linda Ikeji. We are mere mortals and we certainly dont deserve to cast any stones, while we sin in the closet daily!
If you think you are paying ur tithe to pastors ,u are a fool.just believe u are paying ur tithes to God and be blessed.whatever the pastor does with the money is between him and God.he will give account of themselves on judgement day
leave the man alone ooooh, all you haters, instead of you to be happy God has chosen his own to sanitize the evil stricken industry, you are playa hating. Praise God and may He continue to bless Bishop and enlarge his coast, I pray he will own even more.
I am so sorry for you. U seem to be the mr. Know all.
Bishop Oyedepo aside from being a pastor is the most intelligent man i have ever met and fortunately an astute businessman.
He is successful in his businessess and successful in his ministry.
And for ur informayion,If he were a fake, he wldnt be so open with details of his businessess and its expansions. So my dear I.T.K(i too know), shut ur dirty trap b4 u reap curses on u and all ur generations
This man is a fraudster,no doubt, i have judged him and you fools that have been misled by the statement that thou shall not judge,dont you guys reason, it is a pity that we have allowed religious bigotry to percolate our normal reasoning.A pastor that has more aides than a governor, a pastor that has a school and whose members cant afford ,someone who slapped a church member and even condemned the girl to hell when,didnt he assume to be God by doing that, they are so many signs that indicates that he is a well trained fraudster.I pray that God in his infinite mercies open our eyes.
Bolaji
Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a 'Borrowed' colt... Its not like he was such a broke ass , dat couldnt afford to own a fleet or evn ships for all his movement to spread the gospel, he was being Humble.. for he even said 'in my fathers house (in heaven), there are many mansions , if it were not so , ild have told you'... As christians, pls be christ like, afteral Jesus wasnt even a 'christian'.... Enuf said!
Please people be careful about what you say about a man of God. Let God do the judging. If floating an airline is the will of God so be it. But if it not, let God be the judge. Besides, I have not seen any where in the bible where it says a man of God cannot be rich. I have not also heard from the members of winners that the MOG asked them for money to start up an airline business. Please enough of the hating. If Dangote should start up an airline, I doubt if anyone will condemn him. Please leave these men of God alone and let us focus on more important issues
Hahaha...in ur dreams
Hahaha....In ur dreams
Evidence of God's Work.
Hmmnn.....this is a tough one. Owns 4private jets, a university, secondary school, the biggest church in the country....infact the richest pastor in Nigeria. While am happy for him for how far he has come and how well he has done for himself, i bet you that 70% of his church members can't afford 3square meal. These pastors will preach that it is better to stay hungry and pay your tithe and offerings with your last kobo. Most of these pastors only care about enriching themselves while intelligently ripping off their church members.
At least the Catholic church has a society called St Vincent De Paul in all its branches worldwide. I am a member, we beg for money, clothesetc and with it we establish little business for the poor, the widow, generally those in need.
Most people don't pay their tithe to the church to enrich gullible pastors, they use the money to buy clothing, food etc for the poor.
Anyway God knows and he alone will judge.
Ppl talking bad about dis man from now till thy kingdom come wil not change his plans neither wil it remove from his bizness. He knew ppl wil talk yet he stil went ahead and launched his airline.
The days of pastors being poor and haggard looking are over.besides he is living his message:Kingdom prosperity.That a man of God is experiencing prosperity wil not stop me from paying my tithes and offerings.my own is if I go to a church n there is no positive impact in my life I switch.that is y I've been where I've been for 5years now.
And for those saying "he should give to d poor/or giv to charity" ;I'm sure he's doing a lot of charity work and he doesn't announce it.ppl only see the wealth n they say all sorts.I'm not a winners members,never been to winners,but I know ppl who hav genuine testimonies from attending that church.so to each his own.
So live and let live. if d man was poor now n preaching prosperity ppl wil stil talk. if u feel ur church is fraudulent,Leave and go elsewhere. #shikena.
My 2cents.
If MOG were truly christians, they wouldn't be living such a flamboyant life when most of their followers are languishing in poverty...what really does it mean to be a christian?
Sad, sad, sad...I know it's none of my business what he chooses to do with his or his church's money but I can say that I'm disappointed with this line of action. As a man of God who's supposed to touch the lives of the masses, this falls far short. What is the percentage of Nigerians that fly? If the man must invest, he should have done so in sectors where lives can be impacted. People are hungry, homeless, can't afford adequate medicare and he's investing in an airline?
Do not get me wrong o, it's his prerogative to do that as a business man, but then again, he is not just another businessman. He is a man of God. As such, he should be seen to do the things which please God by taking care of the poor masses within his means.
Sectors such as agriculture, hospitals, housing, refineries, energy, road construction... These are areas where he should invest and ensure that an arm and a leg is not charged. Show love to the people by charging moderately, this way, he'll be seen to be walking the walk and talking the talk and people cannot but appreciate the Christ in him.
Lastly, the airline industry in Nigeria is suffering from over capacity with the few ones in operation just managing to survive. There's absolutely no need for another one. This move is ill advised and I hope it fails. I for one will never patronize such...
As long as the MOG collect from the abundantly rich and miracle seeking poor to create wealth for the Nation and thereby employment - NOTHING SPOIL ! My candid advice is however that airfare of DOMINION AIRLINE should be dominantly low especially when we can reasonably guess where the funding is coming from.
Isn't that Pastor Albert Odulele of Glory House on the far left?
Some people should not say things they are not sure of. If it is church money or not God is the judge in the end.......btw dis is stale gist ( about the airline ish).
It doesn't read anywhere in the bible that pastors should be poor or not business minded...he is doing well.
Some people should not say things they are bot sure of, if its church money or not, let God be the judge of that......btw that is stale gist ( the airline ish)
just passing by, i cant fit shout. Only God knows.... next?
Yhu all r bringing man of God. Don't you guys get it? I'm sorry buh do u think in the universities they pay senior lecturer and renowned professors chicken change? Go to UNILAG, ask how much lecturers earn not to talk of Professors? Plus yhu think all d other staff are workin for free. Nigerians wake up and realize ur government is doin nada for u. Men of God n other prominent nigerians hav decided to take the bull by its horn by eliminating unemployment. Yet you open ur mouth to speak jargons. The mentality of nigerians is rather low for this century we r in. We shld better wise n think of How to move this country forward. Bishop Oyedepo has started. Yhu better pray for wisdom and enlighten ur knwoledge
My Bible has tot me not to judge. If the man is God's servant and he is doing the will of God, may God judge.If it's the other way round,may God judge.
Me ooo, e no concern me wetin pastor or anybody for that matter dey use my tithe and offering do, if i don give, i don give be that.
Na me wey give God go bless.
Mmmmm this is really sad, when the issue of tithe was written in the bible, it wasn't meant for the head of churches to use as a means of making themselves rich. The bible even said it that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to go to heaven....
Man of God turning into a business man...........Sir u need to check yourself. Peace out

The bible even said it that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to go to heaven....why not use these money to help the less privileged in the church instead of amassing personal wealth??? That is what a real man of God should do.

Hmmmm..... no comment. Judgement day is coming that's all.
u must collect slap b4 they give u a boarding pass.
@Debby and annon 8.11pm, what gibberish are you talking about? What exactly is your your part on earth? What does paying of tithe have to do with outright condemnation of what is wrong? If it is wrong it is wrong. Jus as Felix E said..people need to wake up from this camtose...Remember the story of Ananias and his wife Sapphira in the Bible, even though the Bible preaches that wives should be submissive, Sapphira would not have been struck dead if she stood up for the truth but she alongside her husband died...being submissive doesnt mean killing yourself in the face of lies and deceit. I do not believe it is right for Bishop Oyedepo to acquire and build institutions that are totally for the RICH...Majority of his church members cannot pay the school fees of his university or avoid this so called flight ticket if the business takes off. Who are we deceiving..Another project to further improverish the poor...Please Mr Winners, try some pro-poor growth projects aimed at the poor such as massive agricultural projects and clean water in the rural areas. Your university should be FREE for the poor because with fund raisers you can acheive that far more easily...Next he will buy the world trade centre....abegi...
How come u haven't blogged about this bitch , she talks politics , acts all blunt & shit , she's a total hot mess , her page is public on Facebook & she runs naija down no be small thing. I think she has bipolar walahi. Her name is Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo from canada , just check it out, u go vex . Atleast u u sabi talk ur mind but this woman is sick . Just go see for yourself Linda and make this public
Paying Tithe accordin to the bible is dat dere myt b meat in God's house. So weda pastors use it 2 buy shoes or planes is deir business. Every man will be judged by God according to his/her works. So as for mi, my paying tithe is in obidience to God's word. With the Bishop, my problem is just that everything always happens to be for the elite which to me defeats the whole purpose to reach out. Well na God know sha.
Don't make it public , just go read or study her well before directing ppl to her . I just saw a note a naija guy tagged fani-kayode in & after reading it I had to look at her page, she no well , oversabi dey worry am. She don't live in naija yet she talks so much smack , I wanna smack her in d face
yes this is wat we want xtians soaring high. @ felix E, U NEED TO GROW UP.if tits dangote u hear acquired an air line company u will hail him. but u think men of God are meant to live in church and beg u for arms NO bros, even christ on earth was a very rich man he feed 5,000 men, this is just the beginning very soon this nations will be dominated by winners family. u can stay poor and continue living a life of church rats even church rats these days are not poor.
foolish ppl,Apostle paul was a tent maker,ppl sell lands in those days and come n drop it at the apostles feet,so tell me where u read in ur bible that a man of God should not make an honest living besides ministry.linda he is not self styled bishop,don't stick ur tongue into stuffs u dnt have business....be careful hw u talk about God's servant u dnt knw what it took God to mould him;and who told u believers are supposed to be poor?why is it that ppl assume that church is to be extreme poor,of course thst s why they say,'as poor as church rat
',it is an error.the bible says that the kingdom of God wld be spread abroad tro prosperity.dnt come here n start exhibiting ur ignorance linda....if u dnt hav anythin to say shut up.
Dear Linda,
I have thought about this issue for a long while, and my opinion is,
(a) What Would Jesus Do. I don't think Jesus will buy planes for an airline in a country were 70% live below the poverty line, and have little or no access to healthcare, education and shelter.
(b) From my knowledge of this line of business and other viable areas of the economy, i think he choose the wrong spot to sink money. He should get ready for a different kind of war, not of words, not of spirits, but of economics and brand. He should have done power generation or housing.
Sha i wish him and his congregation the best.
Let God be right and all other humans, wrong
according to Godons, "The church is moving to the permanent site"
@felix eneh. who do u think u are to criticise david oyedepo. do u call urself a catholic xtian. i dnt think u know wat xtianity is all about. has he ever duped you or hav u heard of anyone dat said he duped him. watch ur tongue. i bet u have a career u do to earn a living, why work, sit at home and let manna come from heaven to you.as u dnt want to live big. ask 4 wisdom cos u lack it.
Choi if to say I know I for don start church.......choi choi choi
Seriously sha,dis popcorn thingy is getting seriously abused on dis forum!popcorn ON my hand?!give me a break!
well, i'm nt suprised dat sum so-called christians wil nt knw dr bible b4 judgin dis man. U guys can condemn him al u want , dats ur problem.
this is my first time ever commenting... i just hv 2 say something! i am super excited abt this. now i am gud to fly! no more phobia 4 flying! bn praying for him to do this! God bless u sir! At least i kw i hv a prophetic covering plus a correct airline mgt when i fly! All them bad belle critics, u guys will still be the first to fly it! mtshew!
proudly a winner!!!
where did he get the money from???? thieves
Since when did it become a crime for church to be involved in business? The problem with most of you is you believe that MOG should be wretched! Bishop Oyedepo is a very good businessman! The church owns three very large universities , so its no big deal owning an an airline! This is what business should look like. You do business, it grows and expands and you are able to move to higher levels!
And Nigerians, all we know how to do is criticise and teach people what to do with their money! If you were in his position would u do better? Infact the position you are now, how many people who are less priviledged have u helped? Is helping the poor for MOG alone?
Long hiss at loads of crap.
@Felix E, pls just shut up. Just becos we are free to air our opinion doesn't give you the right to open your month and just say anything or in the case write pure rubbish. Everyone knows Bishop Oyedepo to be a real man of God and a good business man. I am so happy for him and the entire body of Christ. Now the church is taking her rightful place even in the business environment.
God bless Bishop Oyedepo, God bless Nigeria, God bless Linda ikeji and God bles you. C.C
You can be a Pastor and yet be a successful business person, You can be rich without embezzlement or stealing. If you are blessed invest. It's better to invest in Business, Education and Technology, empowering youths and creating jobs than giving handouts to people becoming the King among beggars and forming mediocrity. All we need in in Nigeria is Jobs!Jobs!Jobs
All these Pentecostal churches sef, pastor dey support masturbation,another pastoer dey slap pesin 4 church.Engrossing billions,yet the congregation lives in poverty.
Na observation I make o,no bash me.Catholic for life.
Eze
Dis is exactly d reason y der r thousands of churches springng up every bloody day in 9ja. D church bizness is so lucrative. In my close alone..my neighbours r 4 churches which r side by side. On sunday u no go hear word. Wen its time 4 praise and worship dey all will b confusing demselves by singing eachodas songs. Its like a bloody competition.Dis man has made bisnez ppl 2 shine der eyes and open churches anywr dey c so dat one day dey too will b able 2 own private jets. May d good lord use dis man as an example 2 teach des blasphemers a leSson dey will neva 4get. Ppl shine ur eyes. Don't b ignorant.
thatz a gud one mog and i know he will surely dominate in that field.bless god
If indeed ur uncle attends winners chapel and adhere strictly to paying of tithe and offering and also belong to a house fellowship..there are scholarships for members who can not pay their wards school fees. Covenant university has d lowest school fees rate among d private universities in the country. D bishop pays millions of naira every year as scholarships for students including CU students. Wat u have to do is to belong to a unit and a house fellowship. All d best.
I think anonymous 7:47pm made a lot of sense, let us touch the life of the almajiri's/ less priviledge people positively with people's tithe and offerings without preaching to them or making them to change their religion by force, this action will touch their heart and see a lot of them getting converted voluntarily. YES, thats how men of God should touch life positively.God Himself will be happy with them.
people like u are just hypocrites. when fuel subsidy issue came up you said men of God should speak up and do something. they decided to get involved and create jobs u still have something to say. is it your money he is using? who made u judge and jury? he's fake abi?, na so u talk, u be God?? you say u are a xtain, so you know the bible says he who is without sin should cast the first stone. so please, Mr God's PA let God be the judge cos only he is qualified for that job. ur brain has been dormant for a while too, so use it.
If it were Pst Chris now all of U̶̲̥̅̊ will talk.
Which criminal pastor...all of u guyz condeming him, how many of u pay tithe to his church..Is it ur money, abeg go and sleep.if u like pay ur tithe if u ike don't pay..HE-WHO-DO HE....
Is that not Dr Albert Odulele (Glory House CEO), the one who raped little boys, right behind Bishop Oyedepo, wonder's willl never cease. I guess he is out of Jail. Anyway God does forgive!
No better set of people to walk in wealth than christians. I congratulate the new landmark and i am happy for him and the ministry. May God continue to bless the works of hin enterprise.
this is good. I think that will be job opportunities for nigerians. How many Nigerian leaders are doing anything about the rate of unemployment in the country. Abeg Pastor carry go.

God bless you.
My Dear Oyedepo i have just few questions for u and i need simple, frank and candid answers:
1. How many Mega Watts of electricity have u generated for the people living in villages around canaan land and evirons.
2. How many borehols have u donated to indigenes of Ogun state
3. How many church members can afford to send their children to ur high schools not to talk of Covenant university
4. i learnt that u started ur church back in the 80's with services being conducted under the trees, so where did the enermous weallth come from?
5.With alot of multi million dollar business empire scatttered here and there, when do u have time to preach and make deciples of of all nations for the heavenly kingdom, baptizing them in the name of the father, the son and th Holy spirit.
I once flew in with a moslem friend from London. Our flight that day was filled up with Pentecostal pastors. When we got to lagos, come see bodyguards? My friend now said to me, see your people, men of God with bodyguards and aides carrying their bags! I quickly pionted out to him that i was Catholic. You would never see such behaviour from Catholic Priests. When i got home i wondered to myself, what has this whole pentecostal brethren turn into. You and i are not blind. Leave that touch not my annionted. People, you have stopped worshipping God, but worshiping your so called men of God. We are busy looking for miracles. Can we first and formost make GOD our priority and leave these people of the world alone. When we turn to God, our miracles would manifest.
All these comments about MOG's not supposed to live in poverty and stuff, lets try not to be too emotionally attached to the situation, especially for the penticostal church goers. If it was his family money he is using to amass all these wealth for himself, nobody will be talking. The fact is that he is using the hard earned money donated by his congregation through offerings and tithes to enrich himself, instead of using it to help the less privileged in the society and his church. To be a true christian is not easy my people. Take example from the works of the late mother Theresa, her good deeds alone spoke for itself: how a good christian should live. the hash truth is that the church has become a business ground for most of these MOG, it is only God that knows who is truly serving him. It is only God that will judge.
Common Don Jazzy is giving up all the money he made through out the time he started business with D Banj. Please people, how many of your pastors can do that?...........NONE!
You guys critize people in Govertment, please whatsthe difference between our so called MOG and our politicians.........NONE!
Abeg lets stop fooling ourselves, and serve the Amighty Father ourselves. You do not need any pastor to talk to your Father in Heaven!!!
a lot of people in my own opinion are ignorant. the capital to start a business that is capital intensive as airline couldn't have come from the church.
Most companies are built by a mixture of debt and equity capital
the ignorance being displayed here is dismaying
What is wrong in floating a business that would create employment and better the good of the nation
Na wa o!
There is absolutely no correlation between tithes and this proposed ventur
and at laela, the money does not belong to him, it belongs to the church and who is the church? the congregation who are they? the families that go to the church; some of them can't even afford three square meals a day not to talk of going to the university or even afford to board a flight...,
Ok ooh, Pastor wen beat e wife to death, dat one too be TOUCH NOT MY ANNIONTED abi? Something dey worry una for head. Stay their ok, wen pastor begin hammer your wife, your husband and pikin join, we go all say TOUCH NOT MY ANNIONTED. Isorai
THE BLESSING OF THE LORD MAKETH RICH AND ADD NO SORROW...CONGRATS TO OYEDEPO
God of men.....

Alot of Nigerians are so myopic in their reasoning. so if bishop oyedepo goes to orphanages he must come and announce it to you abi? do you know how many people this man has sponsored through school? do you know how many widows he has been able to start businesses? do you know that as we speak his ministry built a school in goma hills? do you know the sacrifices he has done in secret that makes God bless him openly? pls i beg you get stories right before you start judging. i am where i am today because of the influence of bishop oyedepo. anyone who worships in winners will tell you that neither the pastors nor the bishops put pressure on any member to give. how much do you think you can give to GOD? he does not need our wretched purses rather our wretched purses lokks to him for replenishment. Linda you are enjoying this abi? it just shows how vain and myopic you are. an actress buys a car and you exprsess your joy for them, a man of God floats an airline and you make cynical underlying remarks. what has bishop oyedepo done to you? take your time oh. d man dey create jobs una no go dey open una smelling mouths. *sighs*
u know, people always complain about church/man of God related prosperity. They say "give it to the poor"; not that they care about the poor; they just lack the capacity to believe that the church/man of God can be unreasonably wealthy.
They say build free schools. Was it not the concept of near free schooling that ruined the federal unis? Or do u all forget that salaries and wages have to be paid? Or that employees have to be motivated by salary reviews and other such perks?
Covenant University spent approx 1.5trillion naira just on diesel in 2 years. Now lets do some maths. The school has about 7k students with the highest fee being about 500k and d lowest being abt 400k. So, lets assume an average of 450k. 450k multiplied by 7k gives 3.15billion. Now, consider that there are other operating costs the school has to take care of including salaries and lab equipment and books and building maintenance and what-have-you. But asides that; lets assume the school decided to use the entire schoolfees to pay for diesel, it won't even ALMOST be enough not to mention enough. Infact, it wont be up to 1% of DIESEL cost. And here you ignorant folks want free access into a world class aiming school. Who do you think pays the balance for diesel? This should give you an idea of the operating costs of the Winners Chapel as a whole.
The Church goes into businesses true. But beneficiaries of such businesses no what they enjoy. Ask any genuine CU student or kitchen staff or cleaner or shopping mall manager or clerk e.t.c in the winners family.
On a lighter note, we Nigerians are passionate people. and we often think and talk out of our predispositions and biases. This is not entirely bad but when extreme ignorance comes into play, our folly becomes apparent.
Many of you who have commented are completely ignorant of the inner workings of the organization (yes organization) hence your blindsided remarks.
Of a truth one should praise God for his workings in the bishop's life, the life of winners and the body of christ as awhole.
And btw, every true dedicated winner is prosperous.
guys, wait until God's children start controlling the world economy then you will start asking for divine wisdom to create your own business.
Bishop continue your good works. what federal govt cannot do for decades one man under God's covering is doing for Nigeria. SHAME TO NIGERIA GOVT.
pz oo, this dude is living on a LARGE level..abeg mr catholic who says PAPA is superlatively materislitic..shey u own ur own choch? abi u have ur own airline? abi did he come to ur house to beg u for money?..God is blessing Bishop abundantly and he is praticing exactly what he is preaching..so abeg mr catholic dude, leave us pentecostal pps and stop hating unnecessarily...
if u are still hating ehn, come shiloh 2012, go out and say u r a witch for Jesus, and he will give u the exact slap u deserve rite now.
God is blessing him plenty, go nd kiss transformer if its eating ur insides.mschewwww.
So Mr. Anonymous...are you blaming the people who gave out their money to the Pastor? Are you saying the man did nothing wrong or he is doing nothing wrong and all the blame should go to the people who gave him money?
U said Jesus said he was poor so that we thru his poverty might be rich...it's not a problem. But when 70-80% of that same congregation can't afford your pastor's school fees...isn't there a disconnect in your quotation? Are your members doing anything wrong? With all the books and sermons on prosperity, I would expect that at least 10 of them would have floated 10 airlines years ago...I would expect that ALL of them will say your bishop's school fees are too cheap. But wen only 1 person in the multitude is able to accomplish this, then we should ask questions.
God bless you sir, haters should go and hug transformer...

Jesus rode on a donkey, see ignorance, a donkey was equivalent to a luxury ride of today! Read the Bible again and see that others walked, even bare feet. Jesus said go and get the best donkey!
If you see all the Catholic priests that have molested kids in Yankee and Europe, abeg leave that alone. No man is free of sin, see all these sinners pointing fingers as if God has given them the mantle of authority to judge.
If God treated any of you pointing fingers the way you treat others, you'd be long dead and burning in hell sef! Focus on your own Christian life and your own walk with God!
In the last days...many shall come...
Not everyone that calls my name shall be saved...
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.
Those of you who were telling Linda to be careful. What did she say that compelled you to write what you did. She simply reported a story. I used to go to one of these churches in the US. I quickly went back to my Catholic church. May God be with us all.
@in_insider, sometin dey do you for head. Agbejoro Oyedepo, did you not hear one of your student say no water, no lite in Covenant Uni,yet you dey launch airline. If he dares slap any of my relations, oooh, una go smell wen. He better not try that slapping thing again. He would be disgraced.shows his level of intelligence and tolerance level. I no send anybody.
You guys have reduced church to hip hop hurray! Father see them. SMH Ok.
I can't hate this man, you know why? He is investing all the money in good places. We can't keep depending on the government, we have to fix it ourselves. I like him, he's a smart businessman.
It's obvious that all the people commenting that he's a man of God and a bizness man is ignorant. Firstly, is there anywhere in the bible that says christ did anything but for his earthly mission? Even the disciples, when they were all called, they all left there respective professions to follow christ. They never multi-tasked in no way. The point is, once you are called, you are called. God will always provide for you and you need not do any other business so to say to survive as your needs will always be taken care of by him that called you. Hence, saying he is a man of God and a business man is misleading as such word has no basis in the bible. Lets learn to call a spade a spade. This is the case of robbing Paul to pay Philip. Many has been decieved by religion especially the poor. And this has onces more re-affirmed the fact that RELIGION IS THE OPIUM OF THE MASSES....
hmmmm...there's a reason the Bible says..''It will be easier for a camel to go through a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God''. Mark 10:19 and Mathew 19:24. So much for building up treasures up in heaven. One cannot serve two masters ooooo.
Isi Ewu
even the bible says my people perish for lack of knowledge... i believe those criticizing bishop david oyedepo are ignorant and naive as well... the bishop is a prosperity preacher and God is obviously and evidently blessing him to prove to all men that the righteous shall fluorish like a palm tree... and the bishop is a living testimony to this...meanwhile, even with the little God has blessed u with, how have u impacted the society? does he need to air his charity work for people to commend him?
this is just the begining as many more wonders will keep springing forth... haters should not speak otherwise cos God himself will be the one to punish, just humbly tap into the blessing so that ur life can be transformed for better...
Felix E.....God will bless u,u'v said everything on my mind.oyedepo can only fool those dat dnt know him,i know d man too well.very soon,jst very soooon pple will knw.those of u abusing felix are d novice so i dnt blame u guys.
HATERZ are suffering from POVERTY MENTALITY....YOu are just jobless....and as for the guy asking so many questions,I bet yhu don't even know ur bearing in Life....I LOVE BISHOP DAVID OYEDEPO....WE ARE BIG and they(haterz) are small....Welcome to our WORLD!!!.
