jenti: My worry is WHAT BROUGHT ABOUT THIS RESPONSE FROM THE REVERED BISHOP?
Was he trying to prove a point that he does not need the tithes and pledges to do all he had done or was he worried by his conscience?
Can anybody help me with an answer
Did he say he did not use pledges ? I thot i heard tithes !
Anyway,it could be that some people brought it to his know or he read on national dailies of the people's views or opinion or he perceived that people are saying he used tithe money for the establishment of the CU. And he is saying that he didn't use tithe money while trying to enlighten the congregants on an issue ! But may be if he sees other talks regarding pledges and offerings,donations and others,he may tell us if we care to know whether it's from free will donations and others !
God bless us

@Mko2005

Why are you devoting so much energy to defend these so called men of god Is it not obvious the oledepo is exploiting his members and due to his pride and arrogance he is even deny these same members the credit they deserve in helping to build the university The way it is oledepo just sees his members as dummies to be used and exploited at will. Also stop playing with words, whether he used tithes, offerings, seeds or pledges the money came from the members and the statement he made dis honestly gives the impression that the members did not contribute in building the university.

I am not defending them like you think neither am i against them ! His name is Oyedepo but u call him always oledepo.That alone,i know that u dnt only hate his acts but also his person.If u are a christian,u shouldn't do that !
Tithe is different from offering and they are both different from pledges ! So am not playing with words here. If truly he said he didn't use tithe and offering money,why do u doubt him ? Give him that benefit of the doubt pls. Has he come out to tell you that he did not use pledge money or donations from church members for the establishment of CU ? Just wait until he come out to say that.
I dnt think that he sees the members as dummies who are only good to be used and xploited at will and does not want to give them credit as u stated but HE knows that the members shouldn't take the GLORY but God should. He can only say thank u to the members for allowing God use them to do 'HIS WORK'(God's work) He is yet to come out to tell us that members never contributed to the project.U are the one insinuating that !
Let us leave pastors alone and work out our own salvation. After all the bible never asked us to work out the salvation of pastor and others with fear and trembling rather he said we should work out 'OUR OWN SALVATION'
God bless us

Covenant university was built within 7 months without any collection of any one naira tithes and offerings or donation of any kind from anywhere"


If that's the case then your defense is baseless and the OP is not out of place to think this way

I duno if the school's actually making profits. But we're made to understand that all the student's school fees combined can't effeciently run the school, meaning they need money from external sources to run the schoool...

OMG!!! do the maths... how many students do they have and average fees. My brother went to that school and i have a good idea of the fees. (If the real MOGs that came to africa to give our fathers good quality education charged that much, almost non of them would have been educated. GBAM!!!

We're about 8k
Re: Oyedepo's Claim That Covenant University Wasnt Built With Tithes - My Thoughts by ogaju007(m): 2:34pm On Dec 13, 2012
Vanneni: We're about 8k

8000 students * average 200k = 1,600,000,000.00

expenses and overheads can never ever be this much not even half as much.

What else do they need money for?

He is a bloody thief.

Average school fee is more like 500k and not 200k. This would make their income from fees alone to be in the 4 billion naira range.

Isaac sowed and reaped in same year ! God is not a magician ! He will lift you up higher far above your peers from that thing you do !
Now if establishing a quality university to counter other make shift ones we have here in Nigeria,will this QUALITY university not impart quality education in the lives of ppl ? If you say it won't becos it's expensive,pls remember that we have people in thousands who attend this uni and are bin positively imparted. But still God can still want to use just that one to lift HIS servant up higher than others becos of his love for HIS servant ! God's work can come in form of building hospitals with High Tech equipments and highly gifted experienced staffs that will save lives here in Nigeria by the grace of God.Though it might be xpensive ! If it's cheap,we will still thank God !
