Well said my Bishop.

ekeneidiagbor:
Nigeria has more Phd than four European countries.
but the things is na all Phd be PhD?

Chinekepikin:
– Bishop Oyedepo has said that a doctorate degree is only but paper, except the knowledge acquired is used to impact lives


– The founder of Winners chapel made the disclosure to some PhD graduates of Covenant University in Ota, Ogun state


– Oyedepo lamented over the numerous situations in which those certified with PhDs, have little or nothing to offer


– The bishop promised to fund projects carried out by few PhD graduates of Covenant University (CU)


David Oyedepo, the presiding Bishop and founder of Living Faith Church worldwide, has said that an inability to identify problems and solve them, renders every PhD degree useless.


While addressing few PhD graduates of the Covenant University (CU) in Ota, Ogun state, Oyedepo urged people to come up with innovations that can solve problems plaguing the society.


The Chancellor, told them their inability to do so would mean their research programme was useless.

Bishop Oyedepo promised to make funds available to them to identify problems and find solutions.


Spoke at a meeting with the young scholars, Oyedepo said Nigeria has been unable to address its challenges because of a lack of capacity to get the job done.



He decried situation in which PhD holders seemingly lacked the thinking capacity.



He said: “I have come to provoke your potential. There is more inside you than the earned certificate. If you cannot think out solutions to problems, your PhD is a complete waste.



“When we say Doctor of Philosophy, we are saying master of thinkers; someone committed to finding solution to life’s problems. And until our learning translates to thinking, our PhD is zero.


“All that we have done going through the rigour of PhD is to ignite our thinking capacity. It’s so important that we have what it takes to recreate our country and the world.


” Hinting that Nigeria has more PhDs than four European countries, Oyedepo wondered why Nigeria was not getting similar result as the Europeans.


“The gas turbine (at CU) was not working because Shell was on strike. So why can’t students of Chemical Engineering build reserves? Why do we look at problems as if we are not concerned?”


Oyedepo said the scholars must learn to management themselves, time and task, to be able to provide solutions to problems.


He noted that the scholars must learn to manage themselves, for qualitative production.


Meanwhile, Oyedepo has challenged the present administration of President Muhammadu Buhari to proffer solutions to the socio-economic challenges facing Nigeria rather than blaming any political party or individual for the current travails facing the nation.


He also urged President Muhammadu Buhari to be more sensitive to issues that affect ordinary Nigerians.
