Timileyin: Everyone is entitled to there own opinion about religion, preaches or any topic, but hating or blastfaming a religion or a man of God, is just wrong and it leads to destruction. let people be and believe what they want. educate yourself before commenting about people or posting in general.

if you have an opinion about a man of God, its better you keep it to your self, not broadcasting and celebrating it on frontpage. most of you guys are just jealous and envious about the level God as placed this men. Their members are not complaining and they are not fools nor blind.. huh cry[color=#990000][b][/b]
You are completely brainless otherwise you would smell the stench of oyedepor's deceit. Take it from me he is no god, he is afraid to die like most people and his poo smells just like yours and he farts a lot.

@Winners Chapel Mugus

I thought Your Man of God/PaPa had special powers?

A child has been missing for a year, and he cant ask God to show him what happened to the child!

Oyedepo is a Charlatan and a Fraud.

One can only sympathise with the parents of the child who are finding out the hard way that their 'man of God' is nothing but a deceiver

Can you make a constructive suggestion to the parents of this child? I am yet to see one.

I am a Winner, but this case is a failure of the crowd control unit of the church. Clearly, and there is no defence for it. But I would like us to see what can be done to help this child instead of engaging in all the name calling that has taken 4 pages and so much bandwidth of the Nairaland hosting account.

Where can we go from here? My worry is that one year is such a long time.

Why cant you and the multitudes of Papa's minions suggest something to your establishment's hierarchy?

We have been 'suggesting' all year round that your Papa is a Fraud, did you care to listen?

Isn't he supposed to be the magnificent, all-knowing Man of God? Why can't he ask God to show him the whereabouts of the girl? (Suddenly he is now like the rest of us, helpless and cant do anything to find the girl)


He is a Fraud. And this unfortunate incident is just another testament to that fact!

Btw- Tell Papa to go to radio Nigeria and borrow their antenna so he can expand his search for 'Evil Signals'.

Pathetic group of people!

1: The Church continues to demonstrate immense insensitivity by trying to keep this under-wraps. 1 week, 2 weeks even 1 month looks criminal from any stand-point. 1year is absolutely indefensible - someone must be made an example of. unfortunately it all lies in the hands of the missing child's parents.
2: The Parents unfortunately were not able to separate Faith from Necessity and chose to Hope the Child will be miraculously found leaving the situation to stagnate at the feet of the Pastor who is by no means an effective radio-frequency receiver for evil signals (perhaps working from a low reception area)
3: Winners Members (as yourself) who have come-up in honest defense of the Parents should not make excuses for the Church.It is a mistake that should never have happened, what has been done about this since the incident happened. 1 year is more than enough time to come up with a system that works. or does this need a committee

RuuDie: What kind of parents would lose their biological child(ren) and not cry out for help even if Jesu' Christi' himself came down and told 'em to chill out!!!?

It only goes to show you how far drunk with Papa's Koolaid these people are. I'm sorry but I feel no pity whatsoever for the parents, I pray the girl is safe and sound. . .but the parents deserve a every single itty bitty pain they are feeling right now. In a civilized country where Papa is not the Alpha and Omega, these useless parents will be arrested for child neglect or endangerment or whatever.

I mean come on. . .your child goes missing for a year and you don't say a word because Papa said he does not sense evil. Are you freaking kidding me??!! The mere fact that YOUR child is not where YOU left her is EVIL in itself. . .Stupidrass modaeffers playing kalokalo with their children's life because of one man they have elevated to God Status.

I am so not surprised by this news. . .Winner's Chapel is a Haven for child predators, parents are so careless with their kids because they feel they are on "Holy Ground" so nothing can happen to them. These same idiotic parents are the ones who keep their child under lock and key in the house and warn their kids about going to Lagbaja's house two houses away from theirs because it is unsafe yet they get to Winner's Chapel, where over 100,000 people from all walks of life troop in and it is all guards down. . .a free for all child Market opened yakata for anyone - What is your preference? Black, Oyinbo, Albino pikin, mixed bred? Fat, skinny, tall or short. . .you will find what you need in Winner's Chapel. They are yours for the taking. . .why, their parents are practically giving them away.

Then let's talk about the people who have been tasked to take care of the children. . .even though Papa has megaphoned up the entire church grounds, making sure that no matter where you are. . .you can't escape his "decreeeeeeing voice" these people are not satisfied. They believe they have to be in the same Auditorium with the "Man of God", breathing the same air as he and feeling his spittle on their skin to "catch their blessing" so they abandon the kids or leave an 8yrs old in charge of 5yrs old. In an environment like. . .I'm surprised there aren't more abduction stories, except of course Papa managed to keep things on the down low.

Good attitude, very commendable of you however it is coming a year too late. Where are we to start from that will offer the best chance of recovering the child? All the trails have since gone cold, we lack the forensic capabilities to do proper investigation and we all know that pastor oyedepor's curses and prayers doesn't work otherwise boko haram would have been fished and the girl would have been found. That is why some of us get angry when we see apparently normal dults displaying the kind of trusting simple mindedness you find in children.
My point is that these men are powerless and they should be held accountable to what they say. You go to a crusade and preacher says that everybody will get back home safely, if that does not happen wouldn'r you call the preaxher a charlatan? Same goes for when they promise one breakthrougj after anorher at the beginning of each year or healinf crusades that never delivers. The only thing they are good at some would say perfected ia in relieving you of your money and still make you feel that you owe them because they have just done you a favoir on accepting your money.

Mmuo Okija:


I could think of over 50 ways to turn this into a Tribal issue... But a little girls life is at stake here so... Heres the other me;

First of all, I find it very disturbing that many parents tend to have absolutely zero regards for the security and well-being of their kids. This isnt peculiar to winners chapel at all, so dont worry, I havent started bashing Oyedepo. If many of you here would be honest, look at the childrens department in your churches and imagine how easy it would be for a child predator to waalk in and take away a child. The security around them are lax, the guardians in charge are lacadesical and the entire set-up is a waste.

Thats why it is advisable to parents to keep their kids with them in the "ADULT" section of the church. It is not as if in the adult section, profanity or curse words are used.. Keeping your kids with you during the service gives the parents a better advantage to have an idea where their child is and what their child is doing.. Also, the parennts get to explain the preaching to their kids. In the so-called childrens department in most churches, the kids barely learn anything.

Now!! OYEDEPO... No surprises.. He didnt sense any evil.. Yet the girl is missing. And it didnt occur to the witch-slapping Preacher to call the police and put out an APBwith the girls picture immediately the incident was reported... NO!! He was more interested in proecting the image of his church and buying jets..

The parents should sue him and Winners to court for criminal negligence.. and damages to the tune of 50 billion Naira.


5billion naira too small jor....5 billion dollars is ideal....I really shake ma head for dese men of God. Like u said dey only thing they care about is how to conquer d world (so says d bible according 2 some of Oyedepos blind followers). D parents should take majority of d blame anyways..so becos Oyedepo said he didn't see any evil they chose not to report to security agents. With that act of omission they don't deserve to have children i swear. In all dese its d little missing girl i pity..i just pray she's still alive n fine....For now d parents should stop acting like idiots, and report d matter to d security agents.

What can we do for this particular child. . .I am afraid there is not much we can do (let the Prayer warriors intensify their prayers). It's been over a YEAR for goodness sake. . .it can't get any cold casey than this.

However we can work towards preventing a repeat of such

We can start by telling people that contrary to what Papa and his Ilks advice it is okay to engage your brains. You don't have to check your brain at the door just because you are a christian.

Then we can move on to calling Papa out for selfishly thinking more about himself and his commission than the poor missing child. Anyone who has worked with Law enforcement or even seen shows on law enforcement will tell that the first 48hrs (some even say 24 hrs) are crucial. Instead of being proactive, Papa inadvertently created an atmosphere of siddon and look with his "I sense no evil" nonsense. We all know it is not about sensing evil or not but an attempt to trick the parents into keeping quiet thus saving the church's name from negative press.

Finally we can stop making excuses for bad behavior. If something is wrong, it is wrong. . .no matter who did it.

Are you ready for change??

It has been over a year since Samuel Eleng and his wife, Favour, lost their two-year-old twin daughter at the Children’s department of the Canaan Land, Winners Chapel headquarters, Sango-Ota in Ogun State, and yet, there is no sign of the girl.
The couple are still stunned by the mysterious disappearance of Praise on April 17, 2011, an Easter Sunday.
Although the Church’s founder, David Oyedepo, was said to have shown support tothe family, however, Samuel alleged that theChurch had been meddling with the case to prevent it from going public.
“We handed our girls, Praise and Glory, over to the school teachers under whose custody many other children were kept. They gave ustwo tags as proof that we had our children under their care for that day,” said Samuel.
However, by the end of the church service, Praise had gone missing from the class in which she was left.
Even the teachers in charge of the twin girls were not in sight, as they were said to have all gone for service as at the time the couple went to get their daughters.
“I saw my wife around the vicinity of the Children’s section, she was crying. She told me that Praise was missing,” he said.
Samuel said they eventually got hold of one of the four teachers supposedly in charge of the children’s class, who was also at a loss regarding the whereabouts of Praise.
“She claimed not to know but advised us to check other classes. So we started moving around from class to class, around the church premises,” he continued.
By then apprehensive but still hopeful, the couple waited until after the service and reported the matter to Oyedepo, who prayedand joined them in the search.
“He (Oyedepo) walked with us to the Children’s department and after praying, he said he has not seen any evil signal,” Samuel said.
However, a more frantic search for Praise was not successful as the hours harrowingly dragged on into days and months for the troubled family.
“I was thinking so many things; how can I come to the house of God and my child will suddenly disappear? Even if it was time for rapture, how can it just pick my child only?” Samuel said.
Thwarting police investigation
The case was later reported by the church’s Chief Security Officer, Supol Cosmas, at the Police Area Command in Onipanu, Sango-Ota in Ogun State, where one Ijeoma Lawal was assigned as the Investigating Police Officer (IPO).
A source at the police station said that Samuel was questioned but the four teachers directly connected to Praise’s disappearance were prevented from making statements.
The source also claimed that a call had comefrom a senior pastor of the church asking the police not to interrogate the teachers because they had volunteered for the job and should not be put through any hassles.
“The caller told the police that the church will handle the matter themselves and the four teachers were promptly released,” said the source.
After there appeared to be no headway in the efforts to find Praise, Samuel said he became disturbed and suggested that the case be made public.
With photographs of his missing daughter and his wife in tow, Samuel got an interviewat the Africa Independent Television (AIT) in Alagbado, Lagos.
But when Samuel’s plea to the public for information aired on the station, the broadcaster gave the impression that Praise had disappeared at the couple’s Satellite Town residence, and not the Winners Chapel.
“I called the AIT man named Desmond to complain and he told me that was the instruction he received from the church. Even the IPO called me to say that she watched the broadcast and was shocked at what was reported,” he said.
Samuel added that his complaints about the AIT broadcast to the church were also not taken seriously.
“Is it a sin for me to go to a church of God with my family? This is a year that my child disappeared under the church’s custody. How can I go to AIT only to have a different thing shown? How can the church interfere with police investigation?” He asked.
Samuel claimed that, in the same week his child got missing, he had suggested that thefour affected voluntary teachers be invited for questioning with Lawal in attendance.
But none of the voluntary teachers nor the Investigating officer showed up for the meeting as the Elengs and a neighbour, one Blessing, who had accompanied the couple, waited in vain.
Also, last August when Samuel had gone to visit Lawal, he said he was welcomed with congratulatory messages from police officers at the police station, who claimed tohave received a call from the church informing them that Praise had been found and that the case be withdrawn.
In the same month, thoroughly dissatisfied with the way his church was handling the matter, coupled with the meddling, Samuel took matters in his own hands.
One Sunday, Samuel said he went to the Church’s Children Department and bared his anger by declaring that no kid should go in unless his daughter was found.
Samuel said his attitude was promptly reported to Oyedepo, who warned him neverto go near the Children’s department again.
Before then, according to Samuel, Oyedepo was in constant communication with him, but since the classroom incident, “he stopped taking my calls and no more talk about my missing daughter.”
Calls for more prayer
Samuel said he did not meet Oyedepo again until recently when they met on April 12, 2012, almost a year since his child was missing.
“I told him (Oyedepo) that my child was still missing and he said ‘be prayerful, the Lord will strengthen you and your child will be found’,” Samuel said.
A source at the church however claimed thata handful of church members, including Cosmas, who also doubles as Aide-de-camp to Oyedepo, are making efforts to find Praise.
The source also said that series of meetings were recently held by the church, where the four teachers were invited.
When called to confirm the report, Lawal declined to comment on the issue, saying, “please, don’t involve me in the matter.”
Cosmas also denied any knowledge of the incident, appearing to be more interested in how Daily Times got his number.
However, Desmond confirmed that Praise’s disappearance was reported and broadcasted by the television station a year ago.
The Elengs are now at a crossroad, torn between reverence for their church pastor whom they fondly call ‘Daddy’, and their filiallove for their child whom Samuel referred to as “our first fruit”.
Also, the couple’s pain has recently been heightened by Glory’s constant queries about her missing sister.
