A letter written by Omokaro’s Counsel, Prince Peter E. Uwadiae-Igbinigie and, dated November 28, 2012 and made available to journalists in Benin, explained that the amount was “for the callous and senseless killing of our client’s daughter, Miss Imienfan Omokaro.”
Besides, Mr. Omokaro’s lawyers want Kingdom Heritage Model School to tender unreserved apology in three national newspapers, warning that if the demands were not met within 14 days, “we have the irrevocable instructions of our client to commence legal action against the school (Kingdom Heritage Model School) and Church (Winners Chapel) without any further correspondence from this Chambers.”
Imienfan Omokaro, a KG I pupil of Kingdom Heritage Model School, was said to have drowned in a drum of water in a toilet in the school on November 1, 2012.
Also, teachers of the school allegedly did not inform her mother when she came to pick her from school on that fateful day until late in the evening.
The school authorities and Winners Chapel had reportedly kept the girl for more than an hour, praying for her before finally taking her to Irowa Hospital in Benin, where she was confirmed dead.
The girl had died before being brought to hospital, doctors said.

2billion is not realistic..
ReplyDeleteMost people may think: what's the point? The 2b won't bring their baby back. Legal action,sometimes,is taken to force people to be more responsible in future. So that the same unfortunate incident doesn't happen to someone else. We can't always choose to let things slide, that's not how to care about humanity.
DeleteI totakky agree, happyhausabunny!
DeletePls such claims are meant to make d sch more responsible. It is gross negligence to leave a 3yr old child unattended to even to d point she drowned. Abeg I support d claim
DeleteOk so ur 3yr old daughter got drowned; nd u askin d Bishop to pay u #2 billion O_o Nigerian's can be opportunists sha..... Ow did ur daughter drown in d 1st place;she culd hav been playin nd gotten herself drowned nd ow is dat anybody's fault
ReplyDeleteIt is called negligence. Child is only 3 and should be looked after and not let to play and fall into a well. Hope this makes sense to u
DeleteDon't b silly,is a 3yrs old gal meant to take care of herself?where dr not teachers in d school,y pay sch fees wen teachers can't take kay of d kids.If it were ur child ull b talking nonsense bah?
DeleteErm.. It wasn't a well sister; take note!
DeleteSo what if it wasn't a well!who cares,she sha fell into water sha,and not taking the girl to the hosp asap,as far as am corncerned is stupid.I hope the skol is shut down and d bishop pays for this damage his so called skol has caused.
DeleteWasn't she in d toilet, her parents are just opportunist and should cover their faces in shame
Delete@ anon 6:34 a.m, you are obviously not a parent can you imagine how you'd feel if you personally cared for your todler, drove her/him to school only to hear later that day your child is dead?!
DeleteI believe that in the near future you'll experience the pain these parents are going through then you'll understand their grief. May God make it happen to you IJN.
@ anon 6:34 a.m, you are obviously not a parent can you imagine how you'd feel if you personally cared for your todler, drove her/him to school only to hear later that day your child is dead?!
DeleteI believe that in the near future you'll experience the pain these parents are going through then you'll understand their grief. May God make it happen to you IJN.
Anon 6.34 I believe you are one of the people who argue blindly, money can never bring the girl back but it will serve as a punishment to the schl authorities so as to be more careful next tym. Lord have mercy on us all,help our young ones, babies dying in schools n creches dis days scares me
DeleteAll these stupid anon(s)saying d childs parents are opportunists pray hard you don't bury ur child. Have u asked urselves maybe d child climbed the toilet bowl so her little hands can get to d drum to scoop water n accidentally fell head first in it n struggled to get to d surface?coz am sure the careless teachers told her to flush afterwards while they were chatting away like idiots n a 3yrs old girl was drowning on top of that instead of taking her to d hospital they were trying to raise the dead.
DeleteHia,wat won't we hear in dis world,paul little grl.chia.rip.
ReplyDeleteNawa ooo no be by force to type nwannem!
DeleteWas about asking who's Paul before realising.. It is "Poor" not "Paul". Is wa! Thank me, later..
DeletePoor
DeleteLwkmd...really a paul little girl
DeletePaul ko Silas ni
DeleteSo d Pastor wan buy dead body wit 2billion abi?, opportunity 4 d benin man 2 rich wit style abi dey go bury d 2billion join d poor girl sef?
DeleteHe or she tot d late girls name was Paula pls pardon
Deleteheoooowwwwwwwwwwwww! this is a serious matter. RIP little angel. what negligence!
ReplyDeleteSad.
I await comments cos am speechless
Anoda MOG gist again, anyways dat Omokiri guy is a thieve! Has he ever seen quarter of a billion? Foolish man hoping to hammer from such a sad incident
ReplyDelete2b is too much?can u quantify a life? Abeg leave the man alone.
DeletePls shut up, no money can bring back his daughter so y ask....greedy parents
DeletePls shut up, no money can bring back his daughter so y ask....greedy parents
DeleteYour mentality is the reason why people constantly get cheated in this country.
DeleteA court action will definitely make all these people more responsible and stop being negligent.
They negligently let her fall into the drum and instead of rushing her to the hospital they prayed for an hour till she died and THEN took her to the hospital. This is someone's child. You people need to put yourselves in her family's position before judging.
P.s: its "thief" not "thieve"
hmmm..RIP pretty gal buh is der any amount of money dat can rilly feel d space d gal az left on der heart..God wil grant dem strength 2 bear u d loss..buh demandin of money sounds blackmailing 2 me..IMO
ReplyDeleteDats d same tin I said,it jst doesn't seem rite.Lilybabe
DeleteWhat you don't understand is that the money they are claiming is not equal to the child's life, its just a punitive measure to get the bishop more involved in the goings-on in the school. Truth is when he parts with such a huge amount or the likes of it, he'll be obligated to absolve more professionals who are dedicated and experienced thereby avoiding such blunders.
DeleteIts not about Oyedepo, if it happened elsewhere, I believe same would've been the case.
Sparkle speaking!
Tragic! N2bn is not even enough to compensate for the irrevocable loss. But how in the hell did the lil gal get into the drum of water in the first place???
ReplyDeleteHelp me ask dem ova sympathetic Libers ooo
DeleteI kno how, or can accurately guess how: the little girl probably went to poop n was goin to flush d toilet with water frm d drum by herself. D water level in d drum was probably low, so, in tryn to reach d water, she fell headlong into d drum. She was neither able to get out or stand upright or call for help.
DeleteDats usually how a little person can drown in a drum of water in a scenario like dat. Gross negligence on d part of her class teachers
Apparently no one was supervising. Its called carelessness, nonchalance, negligence, lackadaisical attitude on the part of the care givers.
DeleteSparkle speaking!
Wat a pity,such a beautiful young girl
ReplyDeleteThere is so much more to this story!
ReplyDeletewat a waisted litle angel rest in peace but 2billion can not wake up d litle angel unless they just want to frustrate d man cos of his less concern but they would have demanded for more.
ReplyDeletePls u people should stop typing waisted, it is wasted\waste!
DeleteSimple english!
Thief
DeleteEven when some1 dies on a plane d compensation money isn't 2b opportunist....smh
DeleteLeave it for d courts to decide d appropriate monetary compensation which it wil definetly do if d parents argue negligence on d part of d school
Deletehis congregations can contribute more than that.
ReplyDelete#Gbam!True as they can pay to buy private for pastor; this one no be biggy
Deletewtffff praying for her instead of rushing her to the hospital...omgggg!!!! God punish dem!!! wicked people!!!1 2billion is even too small!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTruth is will 2M bring her back???? Can it fill the void her death has caused. Not that I'♏ supporting the school or anything but must we use situations like this to enrich ourselves. If it is so, then I think it's blood money. The girl is gone(may her soul RIP) but collecting that money is not right.
DeleteIt is NOT about enriching yourself. Its about suing these people when things like this happen so that they learn not to be negligent and it doesn't happen to people anymore!
Deletehe shud sell 1 of hs private jet and donate d money to the girls family!
ReplyDeleteFamily definitely deserve compensation but Oyedepo and his staffs need to answer serious health and safety related questions. Who was in charge of playing area or kids before the incident. What were they doing at the time??? The man is cocky enough to slap a woman on his altar, he should be able to raise the dead child. rubbish lot!
ReplyDeletehe has a lots of private jets so let him pay it tho it ll nt bring d por gel bk. RIP. Angel.
ReplyDeletePraying for her instead of taking her to the hospital! Religion has blinded a lot of people in this country. Like a virus eating away their brains. God help us.
ReplyDeleteJESUS!! This is so sad, real bad!! I don't blame the parents, I can't even imagine the pain of losing a child. Her dying in a drum of water clearly shows incompetence and poor attention to the youngster, although I know it can't be intentional but such incompetence comes with a lot of consequences. I wish the parents the fortitude to bear this huge loss. R.I.P little one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty kid!!
ReplyDeleteWow! First of all, how did she get into the drum of water??? They kept her for over 1 hour before taking her to the hospital???
ReplyDeleteThe family should just sue if they want to, why ask for 2billion?! Is that a price for ur daughter's life?
They should really investigate this! So sad!
Oga when you sue, there is a price
DeleteMay her soul rest in peace, lets wait and hear from d oda party,there's always two sides to a story. But 2billion hmmm jet tinz.
ReplyDelete~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA3310
How can a 3 years old be left unsupervised?
ReplyDeleteAnd they didn't inform the parents Immediately? If it is true, that school should be deeply investigated.
dis people r crazy if poverty is thr problem they beta seek god n stop tryin to use thr daughters death to get rich! 2billion? i mean come on man!! dis is ridiculous!
ReplyDeleteYou are a fool, wait till it happens to ur child. Then u'll knw exactly how they feel now.... So its a bad thing they sent their child to sch baa? Or the foolish teachers cud nt rush her to a hospital bt started praying for her. And u are there blabbing nonsense frm ur God forsaken filthy mouth. Ewu 2naira.
DeleteA Big fool indeed,stupid child.
DeleteWill the money bring back the child?
ReplyDeleteWhat's the connection with the Bishop?
The carelessness of the teachers have nothing to do with the church or the image of the Bishop...
May the soul of the little one rest in peace...
Her demise shouldn't be used as means of exploitation..
#gbam! Best comment so far
DeleteWinners Chapel owns the school!
DeleteSome people ask dumb question sha, she is 3, her mates uses potty, aw d hell did d school let her be in the toilet alone, 3yrs old for crying out loud, some still pee and poo in diapers, she can't clean herself up so d school can't give any ridiculous excuse, they Sued the school @least oyedepobis always quick to saying he owns d school not d church, so u idiot who do u expect to pay for damages? My father? Ode also said best comment so far, the blind leading the blind, some of una go school so? Imaging someone saying if u want to sue just sue why ask for 2 mill, chai see level of ignorance, na y some of us still set suffer Cos u dnt know ur right,
DeleteIf I be d mama, I will sue d school for it's worth.
a drum of water?? she entered d drum of water herself abi hw? a proper investigation shld b done abeg. dey just wanna use dis as an opportunity to bring my church down ni jare. its painful she lost her life buh dey shld stop makin it look lik its d church directly killed her. dis culd happen anywhere.
ReplyDeleteWell, dear winners chapel member, it's unfortunate that your church runs the school.....nobody is trying to bring ur church down....if it was ur child, what wuld u do?
Deleteuntimely death is not our portion ijn Amen! linda post my comment.LADY b

ReplyDeleteThis is so sad.. Such a cutie, those teachers should be locked up for life!
ReplyDeleteMy God! What was the drum doing in the toilet?? And how come nobody heard her cries or struggle?
ReplyDeleteD drum of water could have been an xternal source of water supply 4 flushin d toilet!
DeleteIdiot AnOn 9.23
DeleteShe is 3, question isn't wat d drum dey do for bathroom, it's way was she doing alone in d bathroom unsupervised? Aw do u expect a 3 yrs old baby to pee herself? Even 4 dey pee half for body, she shouldn't have been in d toilet but someone being with her, 4 yrs old can't even sit on a toilet seat, that means teachers dnt know where their kids are @ a giving time, that's wrong.
Other parent ought to withdraw their ward o, cos the teacher and school administration dey useless
Tee,first of all, that Idiot was so unnecessary! Secondly, if you weren't too keen on looking for whom to fight on this blog, you would have observed that the comment is in reply to Anon 7:19PM 's question," What was the drum of water doing in the toilet??"
DeleteThese people are just dumb! Yes, by all means, pray for a miracle....but help yourself so that God can help you! Some Christians take things too literal! RIP to the gorgeous little girl!
ReplyDeleteHungry charge and bail lawyers..its not only 2billion...in as much as I feel sorry for this beautiful angels death..it makes me so angry that people will capitalize on it to make money because Bishop Oyedepo is involved..Come and take 2billion..thieves
ReplyDeletePoor girl, may her soul rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteOoopsss...They were praying for her??? instead of taking her to the hospital?...Speechless
ReplyDeleteHehe! Instead of them to hv rushed her to the hospital, they were praying, Na una be Jesus abi. Make winners pay, afterall, their G.O flies in a private jet.
ReplyDeleteis that ur problem? Because he flies in a private jet they shld use theri daughter's death as means of exploitation . I ve seen a 3yrs old child drown in his father's house this can happen any where , its carelesnes we know
Deletechike kalu, it amazes me that people with such mentality as yours still exist
DeleteI work in a hospital and I see so many women wind up dead after refusing to have an emergency surgery , chanting " I will deliver like a hebre woiman". People pls take medical treatment. U can still pray at the same time. It is the lord thta blessed a doctor with skill. Don't die senselesly. If I were an angel at heavens gate I won't let u in# angry face#
ReplyDeleteFirst of all,may d soul of the deceased lil one rest in perfect peace!!
ReplyDeleteBut den counsel to the deceased is not making sense!!,
This was obviously an accident and should be addressed as such!
they didn't kip the child to cause more harm,dey were trying their luck praying......
Haba!!...2billion?
Nyway I tink they should let d matter go to court,cos its clearly trying to exploit d MOG!!.....mayb cos e get private jets....hehehe...I can't shout!!
Do u knw it can or will be more expensive in court. He'll end up paying more than that 2billion if the parents lawyer is good enough. There is no difference between this case and that of d lady that was slammed 80yrs behind bars. Mistake or not, u dnt leave kids that young all alone. As I said earlier Queen Bee, think before u spit out, u used to make good comments before.
DeletePlease keep quiet, how can he end up paying two (2) billion in court? Are u funny or just plane stupid?

This one get as e be oh. That school should be sued for carelessness and negligence. How can they leave a KG1 student to go to the toilet unaccompanied? And this happens in most private schools. Its not jst peculiar with Winners. I sympathise with the family on their huge loss sha.
ReplyDeleteChywe
I'm not taking sides o! I'm jst saying! This case is more than meets the eyes! 2billion for ur dead child?? Those parents are suspects! Benin people! Nigerians!! Anything is possible!!! Investigation and no stupid 2billion Jare! That extortion nad s.. Its jst crazy!

ReplyDeleteWow!!! Can anyone rate this brain pls..nigerians r just backward with the way we think. Spiritual??? Its called negligence and the owner of schoolol shld be sued fr it
DeleteExcuse me if you wanna charge the pastor 2billion naira for ur daughter's death then u need to check ur self WTF
DeleteE don start. Hmmmmmmmm people don see money now so dem so sue for anything. That's what happened to michael jackson after he showed too much wealth. Next it woyuld be junior pastors and even ushers suing.
ReplyDeleteGod will help us keep our children safe. May God console the little angel parent.
ReplyDeleteSue their asses...... Time we use our judicial power to curb all the injustice in this nation
ReplyDeleteSpent an hour praying for her? Heaven helps those who help themselves
ReplyDeleteThat's saying has got no biblical root! ... It was complete foolishness! D best thing to do should've been,check to see how long she's been dead! How do u knw if she wasn't already dead b4 she was found??

Are you using this sad opportunity to milk money from the mad?
This is absolutely too much!
2 Billion? Wth? Did the man drown the little girl?
So money can now buy human life?
If he pays that money I'll stop following his words!

If the girl got drowned in the school, does it mean that the school is responsible for her death? Secondly, will N2 billion naira raise d girl or solve d problem? Collecting such huge amount of money simply means that d family is using their daughter for ritual. If u doubt this, then tell me, what is ritual?

ReplyDeleteRest her soul, but this client of theirs strikes me as money hungry. the proper thing to do would be to sue the management of the school, not the founder of the school. secondly, what does winners chapel have to do with this matter, why should the church be sued alongside the school. seems like it's more personal, the client must be like Linda Ikeji who beefs men of God. anyway, lets see if 2 bln will bring back ur pikin... Awon haters...b
ReplyDeletehow would ur daughter die and the first thing u think abt is to sue, its very irritating how some people feel the need to embezzle from others,its cos of people like this nigeria has been messed up, ehen 2billion naira, has any of their generation held 2billion naira before? dis parents are no different from ritualist that use children for money.mssssshhhhheeeeeewwwww
ReplyDeletecan u tell me how much dis(mog)is charging in dat school? Had it d schl is free education which its opt to have been dey wont be asking for 2billion. Hes a greedy man stealing wit d name of god both home nd abroad, soon british gvt ll expel him nd his son for reaping their citizens wit d name of god (moner for miracle)
ReplyDeleteNow I will urge you to shut the fuck up! U ever cared to do your research b4 komin here to spit out nonsense. In KHMS their school fees is considerably affordable so don't kom here sayin thrash. Asides the 1st term skul fees d maximum u pay is #30,000 so shut the hell up if u dunno wat to say. Oniranu!
DeleteU r jst bitter! Think like an advocate and stop talking with jealousy! Let's assume it wasn't oyedepo, what if was one little skool, what would they do? D 2bil thingY is absurd! It sounds very personal! If u disliked him so mmuch, why did u let ur child go there?? and we all knw 2bil is nothing to this church,skool and MOG... Infact, one or two member can come up with the money! This doesn't make sense! Its now sounding like it was staged to extract money frm Oyedepo! Weird!!! Really weird!

DeleteWell proper investigation shld be carried out cos it looks like a case of negligence and carelessness on d part of the teachers cos if a three year old can watch her self she wld nt be put under d care of smeone older.moreover d gurls parent paid sch fees cos dey want the child to be taken care of and educated I trust winner's sch and their expensive sch fees but even at dat I dnt think dey shld drag d pastors name wif d church Wif dis scandal proper investigation shld be carried out if dey find out dat d baby arrived d hospital dead and dey opted to pray instead of seeking medical attention then dey can sue the Ass of d sch and teachers involved,its God dat created medicine and doctors so my fellow nigerians wake up frm ur ignorance RIP poor gurl
ReplyDeleteHello all......get to think of it,the school dat was build by our offerings and we keep contributing more for d church.but instead of free education on the tertiary level we stil hav to pay school fees...and remember most of us hav younger ones in school and at home we keep an eye on them just to keep them safe,so we expect/want the same thing from the schools we send them to.not to hear by the end of the day,dat our younger one has drowned due to negligence from the school authority.and was kept upto 1hour for prayers be4 goin to the hospital......in develop society the parents has every right to sue.why do we nigerians say its not good?......is it bcos he is a pastor.....he has 1life just like all of us,so let's think be4 we write bcos it can be any of our love ones 2moro......I attend winners also with my family.....my sister and her husband are pastors also,whenever their son is ill,they always pray for him,but it get worst until he is taking to the hospital to stabilize him.....what happened with the doctors GOD has blessed with the gift to save life.....let's all think..........king.....ph
ReplyDeleteNa wa ooooo ... What really happened is the question .. There is more to this story jare...so money now is more valueble than the little girl ba rubsih .....
ReplyDeleteMay all of you running your mouths never have your children drown. How DARE you say a child's life is not worth 2 billion?! They're obviously NOT going to get the 2 billion and so I won't be surprised if their lawyers told them to start high since it'll probably get reduced. What did you want them to ask for? 100000? So that he'll pay 20000 from 1 percent of Sunday collection in the end abi? And did NONE of you read the part about them wasting an hour instead of taking her to the hospital? You see "man of God" and you start acting righteous, like you would accept it if it was your child. And who is this idiot asking why a KINDERGARTEN child was careless enough to drown herself? Why was she not being monitored? Nigerians...I swear it's because of our own stupid thinking and wickedness that we're in the mess we're in. You cannot put a price on the life of a child, agreed, but you can sure as hell get some retribution when one is unjustly taken from you. No one is asking why she wasn't monitored, why she wasn't promptly rushed to the hospital, why the school owned by a MAN OF GOD has not come out to make a statement, and you're persecuting the father of the child. Tufiakwa. Nonsense.

DeleteOk may her soul rest in peace, but please will 2billion bring the girl back.......this is just exploitation......sorry but hw much school fees did they spend on this kid ....... Some gold digger ish .......though I kinda feel their pain
ReplyDeleteMay d little girl's soul rest in perfect peacee. Bt its strange how ur 3yr old daughter dies and all u can think of is billions? Its more than outrageous i must say... With no care what so eva abt d pastor..the school should pay in one way or the other 4 death of the child.But that should be for the court 2 decide and not d parents. If i were ur child,i would hunt u down,if that is all u did 2 fight for the carelessnes which caused my death. My judgement- the school should b shut down...Pinky
ReplyDeleteWat a pity......but 2billion for wetin? To buy space for her in Heaven?
ReplyDeleteMay u never lose a child,infact may your children drown in river niger,anunpam,I don vex,bia linlin,pls post this
DeleteShe is too cute to die....
ReplyDeleteDat is negligence of d highest order....d sch management should sack dos in charge of supervision and monitoring d kids.I agree d lawyer can sue but not d MOG! 2billion ke? Learnered colleague u beta join kidnappers! Form dey o!
ReplyDeleteMay her soul rest in peace! Is it N2bn that will bring the child back? Greedy thieves! And to the comment on free education, people don't value things not paid for.
ReplyDeleteI have a son and will feel really bad if he had a chance to survive and he wasn't taken to hospital. I will want the school investigated and make sure that chances of a future recurrence is almost nil. I will be angry and probably demand that whosoever was taking care of my child should have no business working with kids anymore. But 2 billion??? The smile of my little one is worth more than that and if I get paid the ridiculous amount I may feel like Judas with his 30 pieces of silver...
ReplyDeleteLet's not forget dat any parents dat send their kids to his schools are not poor bcos we knw how much their fees are and didn't they call her parents and take her to d hospital pls dis girls parents are nt poor but needs to teach d fool a very big lesson.
ReplyDeleteCall parents hoW??? And I knw most skools close by 4PM cos of prep and after school lessons. So, its understandable why d bews got to them in d evening prolly* when they came to pick up d child! I think this story is presented so harshly to tarnish d image of the ministery and d G.0..............
DeleteIn law it is called Vicarious liability, a situation where a master is liable for d negligence of d servant
ReplyDeleteWah da hell happened to first Aid... wah happened to resuscitation/ CPR.
ReplyDeleteInstead dey were praying... Whn some 1 drowns d psn can still b alive buh subconscious!. When u employ unprofessionals, uld hav issues. Since winner chapel's schools r rili expensive dy should b able to get qualified staff nt jus church members. Children r tender and should b handled wif caution @ all tyms. Hope dey learn 4rm dis! RIP darl. #Jade Said#
I was about to write the same thing. If someone had done a CPR on that child, maybe she would have survived.
DeleteSorry 4 d death of d pretty litle girl. But 2billion is not what should be said now. It looks suspicious on d parent. Nigerians try to reason this issue. Is neither the fault of d bishop nor d church. You parent pls take heart and Almighty God will bless you with another child.
ReplyDeleteNigerians r so so foolish nd backwards... No wonder we r in dis kind of mess. 2 billion won't bring back d child, yes bt it will teach d school a lesson and d church so tomorrow dey will take proper care of deer pupils. Nigerian behave anyhow dey want bcz we always let things slide. Make proper research bcz u all run ur mouths mtswwww cz d bishop is a proper party cz he is vicariously liable Nd also read about Wrongful Death Claim. I'm really ashamed of all of you insulting the parent mayb none of u knws d pain of childbirth. They deserve more than 2b 4 dis gross nd utter negligence . God help 9ja, u all shld change ur attitudes else we r goin nowhere
ReplyDeleteSo sad...deepest sympathy to the family of the girl! Well pastor, its time to pay up! But wait, how did she get into d drum? Gross negligence! And they were praying instead of going to the hospital first? Infact make that 10billion!TC
ReplyDeleteU await comments bcos u r nw linda ikeji..mtcheww
ReplyDeletewhy are people making this look like the parents of the diseased are trying to exploit the situation,most of u read on this same blog about the woman going in 80years jail term b'cos kids left in her care died(did she kill them? no but her negligence did). the sentence is to deter others and ensure that ppl are more responsible. the Bishop can decide that the principal and teachers of that branch of the sch should raise the money......its his choice.the truth remains,lesson must be thought.
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly what I was about to say!! You're realistic indeed...(most people don't think, they keep contradicting themselves)
DeleteThe girl is dead. (Sad 1)
ReplyDeleteThe 2B will kill more pple; by the time the family starts fightin on the money. U know benin pple na; jaz too much.
i think the school should be sued...but the amount is a bit steep...cos that's just negligence...they should have taken the child to the hospital immediately and prayed for her there.
ReplyDeleteits funny at the way most people are chanting gibberish on here,
ReplyDeleteit has got everything to do with the owner of the school regardless if he was a pastor or a minister of pension.
they are suing the business for negligence, carelessness and probably breaking the health and safety law (for those who dont know it exists in negeria despite we barely keep it) for having a drum of water on unsecured and in a way someone can go inside and get trapped (esp in children environment)
so, we all should quite these shit we talking of simply cos one is a man of God. the owner of the company is running a business and they are suing the owner. something for tot, what if the owner was rtd olusegun obasanjo or tinubu? would u call it extortion?
2B is a small price to start with.
in a more civilized environment, they will lock the sch down and probably lock the church down for health and safety measures then NGOs can sue them separately or the local state (council)
My condolence goes to the bereaved heart. no funds can cover the loss of a loved one but something can be done as compensation. even military personnel that die @warfront gets compensation from the govt to their family. dana victims got compensation and extra fine on the company.
God bless Nigeria.
Its nt necessarily about the money, if it were my son,I would make sure that school never operates again. They are absolutely incompetent.
ReplyDeleteSome of you guys are sick as shit,what the f..k do u mean was it their fault,if not their fault plz who's fault was it that a 3yr old was left unattended to, to the extent that she drowned nd no one heard her cries. Truth be told,they have not said what truly happened in that school.who is that moron that said they were trying their luck praying for the girl. How dare them do trial and error with someone's child, haba. What rubbish is this, one whole hour before taking her to the hospital. Mcheeewww. For those of you blabbing what you know nothing about, the pastor was added to the suit cos he is the owner of the school, am sure the first defendant is the school itself. Meanwhile I advice the lawyer to add the names of the teachers or minders or whoever was responsible for watching that child to answer in their personal capacity. For those of you who said N2bil is too much, if I was d counsel I would sue dem for all dey hv got, N2bil in ma opinion is too small,nd I would also include that the school's license be revoked. Nonsense, some people just come here nd spit out trash, forgeting to ask themselves how they would feel it were to happen to them.
ReplyDeleteThe degree of fundamentalism and obsession with pastors in this country is disgusting. An innocent 3 year old was killed involuntarily by an establishment run by ouedepo so he is fully liable. The people supporting him and praying for his breakthrough while condemning the family of the deceased and their lawyers are a special kind of special.. It's so sad I pray that ouedepo is forced to pay the money. At least he won't have money to be buying privat jets and deceiving gullible confused people. And it would be one down in the man of God craze.
ReplyDeleteit is obvious that dere is still more to the situation in which the girl was found and the 2 billion is an insult on the mother of the child
ReplyDeletewhat a proud child
ReplyDeleteLet analyse it! Where were d nannies, class assistance, where was the class teacher, why place a drum of water in a toilet when u know kids love to play wit water. It also very obvious water wasn't running in the toilet and the little one might have been trying to scoop water to clean her which the nannies ought to ave bin on attention to do. These is an high level of negligence of the school cos it took them real long to notice d little girl absence or she would ave bin save. From the judicial angle the parent can sue the class teacher, nannies, class assistance, headteacher, school and the winners worldwide cos the school is an affiliation of it and created under it name. Even the 2 billion is even too small for their little lost. May the soul of the little child rest in peace. And naija should always know wen to do away wit sentiment.
ReplyDeleteGbam!!!

ReplyDeleteTo all those asking if this makes sense, it will if it were your daughter that drowned in such circumstances. They are not asking for the money because they believe they will get it, it's just to make a point and I do believe that little girl is worth more than 2Billion dollars not even naira. Oyedepo owns the school so therefore should take responsibility of the negligence of his staff.
ReplyDeleteR.I.P to the little girl. A lot of you think its impossible to drown in a drum of water, try putting ur head in first.a 30 year old man would get drowned in it sef. My younger brother tried that and was fortunate to survive this same incident some years back. You might call it ignorance but really, how many of you can think a drum of water could cause that much harm? It could have happend to any one. And the two billion? Common!!!that just shows how ready lawyers are to extort wealthy people. I trust papa,the case would be on forever, they will win d case may b wen 2 billion dosent have any value in the economy...and dats forever. KuZe!
ReplyDeleteA lot of the people commenting I reckon are not parents, because if they were they would understand that 2 billion, 5 billion or 1 trillion is nothing compared to the life of a precious child you will never ever see again. The parents of this child are very angry and disappointed, 2 billion or 1 trillion is not to bring back their daughter but to punish the school, this is the only way those responsible for the death of their baby daughter will share and understand their pain .
ReplyDeleteHaving said that I don't know whose idea it was to drag the bishop into this. Winners Chapel is a corporate charitable entity exclusive from the Bishop. The school belongs to Winners chapel not Bishop Oydepo. How the internal and global organization runs will determine the amount of compensation. For example are the branches and social enterprises such as schools, are they autonomous or do they form part of the corporate body , thus remitting revenue to same? Finally the ultimate resolution between the bereaved parents and the church is an amicable settlement out of court, where the words, 'sorry' and 'forgiveness' is most paramount.
RIP little angel,.... MR omokaro 2billion cnt bring bak †̥ђe̶̲̥̅ lif of U̶̲̥̅̊я daughter.
ReplyDeleteLinda u don dey madt abi? Comon post my comment....TC
ReplyDeleteSo sad...deepest sympathy to the family of the girl! Well pastor, its time to pay up! But wait, how did she get into d drum? Gross negligence! And they were praying instead of going to the hospital first? Infact make that 10billion!TC
ReplyDeletePls as any one tot of the cleaners?? I remember growing up in kg,primary... Schools their are usually cleaners dia to attend to the children! Plss what happend to that part? Its so sad that the poor gal had to die due to the neglegence of the school...I think the class teachers nd d cleaners shld be the one to face the music nd not the founder... So sorry for the parents.
ReplyDeleteIf som1 else drives a person's car n kills som1 n flee,who will b responsible? D owner rite? So der 4 d owner of d skul will be help responsible.dey r not billin bcos dey want d mony,perphaps its cos d man makes a lot of mony wich sud b properly invested in any business he's doin such as d skul.it was total lack of negligence n som1 has to pay 4 it.just like plane crash,death is death n especially a careless 1 dat it y d payment has to occur. RIP pretty one. I wish dem to resolve d case ammicably.
ReplyDelete@ Paul little grl what where you thing pls lmao.
ReplyDeletepraying for her? why do these people mock God for heaven's sake.
ReplyDeletepray for a little girl who was carelessly left on her own? and not to think they kept it away from her parents....
there's definitely something fishy going on in that school...
rest in peace pretty little angel....
RIP innocent soul. 2billion won't bring her back.sad
ReplyDeleteALL YOU PEOPLE INSULTING THIS GIRLS PARENTS..MAY UR CHILD FACE THE SAME FATE THIS POOR GIRL FACED AND U WILL FEEL THE SAME PAIN THIS PARENTS ARE GOING THROUGH!!!! NIGERIA IS SOO BACKWARD GODFORBIDD!!! SO DANA VICTIMS DT GT COMPENSATED NKO!! CZ IS A PASTOR U THINK HS UNTORCHABLE!! HE SHUD BE SUED FOR A TRILLION AND JAILED!!! OWERRI GAL
ReplyDelete@ FRANKLIN TOH BAD (ANON:6:45 PM )PLS JUST SHUT D HELL UP AND GET A LIFE A REAL 1 AT DAT, IF U DNT KNOW WOT TO WRT I SUGGEST U JUST SHUT UR TRAP AS U R NOT GOD... #NONSENSE SOMEBODY MSCHWEEEE !!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLinda, am not sure how true this is but i heard on news when this was first reported that the lil girl went to the bathroom (unaccompanied) and was found in the drum much later. My simple question is this....Growing up, i know nurseries had 2 carers per classroom - such that one remained in class, should any child need to go to the bathroom (accompanied by the other), if this was the case, which i doubt, this little girl would still be alive.So what exactly happens in that school? one carer per class? Why? To cut cost or what? No doubt the parents are agrieved and are allowed to sue and charge whatever amount they deem appropriate, they should damn the price and sue the school, that action will save more lives, you never know. As much as i agree that Oyedepo owns winners chapel, he cannot be everywhere, someone must have been put in charge of that school. They should be made to pay for it, other schools will learn from this instance. Its so sad.
ReplyDeleteThose that are insulting the client, saying the school didn't drown the girl, bla bla bla are very very stupid indeed. If your 3 year old hasn't died due to someone's negligence then shut the fuck up cos you have no idea what they're going through. How the heck can a human being say "she could have drowned herself"? I'm baffled by your stupidity. kmt
ReplyDeleteToo many stupid people here. I'm so pissed. Someone's negligence has taken the life a little child, and you're comparing them to ritualists for suing? You people are stark raving mad, I swear.
ReplyDeleteNa wa o... Fine, I agree the teachers were careless, but c'mon now, why is it called an accident? 2billion!!! Haba. That's two much, they are real opportunist, taking advantage of the situationm. That's wrong!!! Am sure w'out asking bishop oyedepo would have compensated the family some how. 2billion *drop jaw*
ReplyDeleteDid I read d statement of the lawyer b4 u commented? @ y'all.... It sounded like the child was murdered by d church... D only thing he wants frm d "school authority in benin" is apologies in 3 major news papers! Then oyedepo is to pay 2bil... Interesting!!!!! That's a stupid lawyer! The statement isn't fighting d main cause! I'm disappointed! Meanwhile, has anybody thought of hw the child flew into the drum? if d drum was taller than her, hw did she get in? She's 3,very small... My sympathy...there's something they r not telling us, either d parents or d school... This story is incomplete! I suggest intense investigation. 2bil is out of d question at the moment!really...
ReplyDeleteRip poor girl but d worst thing any parent could do is to ask for money for dia child's death nt even small cash #2billion naira will dat money bring back dia daughter or won't d money finish dat means dey kill dia daughter to raise money poor girl sure d girl is nt happy wia she is.

ReplyDeleteSmh... Una jst dey waste una time sha... No need for d beef, defence, fights and analysis! The did has been done! D church, parents and court will decide! Linda, pls keep us posted! Y'all should stop brooding over spilt milk! I'm irritated!
ReplyDeleteIn The Name Of Jesus, Mohamed,Sango,Obatala,Apara,Ahmadioha and All Known African God All Of You who Thought The Parents are opportunist.Ur Child Will Die too,Amin.Then we will debate on Ur Action.some1 said Leave It 2God and I ask Nha God Kill Am.

ReplyDeleteLinda, please, what church do you attend? are you a pagan. If you are a christian, why not face your priest or pastor. Are they better than Bishop Oyedepo. What is the thing you have for him? Are you the one the devil is currently using to try to bring him down. I am sorry to disappoint you, you and all of hell are just too small. The pathetic story of that baby touches everyone but should not be used as a means of crucifying a man of God because of 'beef'. Sue the school which is a registered entity and they have a management, be literate.
ReplyDeleteyou just think you can get popular by doing this, God help you lest you completely sell your soul to the devil just because of money.
ReplyDeleteits like that ur america trip has entered ur head abi. so u r just misyarning about
ReplyDeleteOk, u can say I don't hv work. Anyway been reading all the comments from start n its clear that some ppl just hate oyedepo. That's not my destination (so let me land b4 u crucify me).
ReplyDeleteIt is dis-heartening that some of us lack respect for the opinions of others and yet we say we r civilized. An they now generalize it n bring causes to their country and themselves. Who in the world told u that ur opinion is more sensible than mine or any other person? Please let's try and be mature about this, don't call Nigerians foolish bcos u think u'r more sensible.
Another thing, how do we even knw the story is accurate? The press could be very funny at times.
R.I.P to the little girl, may God help her family, may God help oyedepo, may God help the lawyers, may God help the judge, may God help Nigeria.
If this is the way 9ja reasons mehn we are a long way from civilization. To those saying 2b wnt bring back d child u are right and wrong, it wnt bring back d child, it wnt pay back for d labour, or love that has bn giving to her in her short 3 yrs, but it will give d family joy that they got justice, they can decide to take d teacher to court if they have a good lawyer for second degree murder, no dey decided to sue, and wen u sue it means u make the owner of d organization pay for ur pains and hurt cos people love money wen dry part with it they feel pain.oyedepo always say he owns his schos not his church, I dnt care who owns it, he is sha d CEO of church and school,So let dem sue him for his best dime. Dey might use d money to honor d memory of their child, and d real question is way was d lil girl doing in d bathroom in attended to, she can't clean herself up, if u are a mother u will know this, even 5 yrs would have peed half on her body and 3 yrs old can't sit in d toilet seat alone. So there is something the school isn't saying. If as a mother u have a child in that school leave sentiments aside withdraw ur child, they aren't monitored properly, she is 3 bnot 10.she shouldn't be anywhere in d alone fir a sec sef,so I say sue their ass out, and dnt bring thrash talk about church, the school is being sued so the CEO/ chairman is d man affected, regardless if whether he is a pastor, imam, bishop or watever.
ReplyDeleteGod is watching all of you that keeps defending this man like he is GOD. Is he Jesus Christ that he cant make mistake???? huh?
ReplyDeleteAs far as i am concerned, this man is also an opportunist just like the dead girl's parent. Its clear they want to make money from her death but then this man too is just as faulty jare!
He should be able to donate $6million out of his $150billion worth now....haba! Kini big deal....show you are a true man of GOD! mtchewwwwwwww
NAIJA UNA TOO MUCH, I SIP MY COFFEE JEJE
WAHALA DON START
ReplyDeleteNigerians!!4q* terrible..i can guess the lawyers suggested this sum-since they'll get their share!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe are talking about a three-year-old girl here and you are asking how did she get herself drowned. Really? What are the reasons parents put their kids in a private school? The school is responsible for this kid's death.
ReplyDeletelol........9ja never cease to amaze me.......N2 billion, dat 1 too small sef, dem for ask for N1 Trillion.......fools. I only pity the poor kid.
ReplyDeleteits is well! even inside the well, i want to believe there was something wrong somewhere along the line. but less ask our self this question. Did God collect 2billion form us b4 He gave us children?
ReplyDelete
