They have big primary and secondary schools all over the country. They have them in the hundreds, not sure of the number at the moment.

How big?

It differed from location to location, but some of their secondary school facilities could be mistaken for a university campus. They had one in Ibadan at a time but had to demolish for some reasons (I think land issues)



Schools that nationwide students are withdrawn by parents because they can't pay. When the school as a missionary could have created a payment structure like pay 2,000 Naira a week so they would have been kept back in the institution. I know of at least 20-30 families affected by this in just two major branches


Good facilities and curricula, could be better wages.

Nice one from Oyedepo, however he still has a long way to go, considering the amount involved here (N.65 Billion) in comparison with that of the aircraft he recently purchased (N2.5 billion) amongst others, for it's only when he starts getting to the point where that riches he accumulates begin to pale in comparison to that which he distributes, that he would know that he has gotten somewhere.

Also very importantly he has to stop mocking the poor and needy and also discouraging people from helping them, for that was the basis of his heresy concerning Job not tithing, for since Job was the known as the father of the poor, being a well known mocker of the poor that he is, he wanted to by all means give people the idea that just giving to the poor and needy alone would not make God rebuke the devourer for one's sake.

And I don't think God would have been happy with that for God doesn't use the poor and needy to play, so no true friend of God is an enemy of the poor, and I believe that Job attitude towards the poor was one thing which set him apart in the sight of God, and hence one of the reasons God proudly showcased him to the devil.

So obviously that's a leaf that Oyedepo can take from Job's life for him to be able to command the same kind of respect from God.

For that is also in accordance with the teachings of Jesus and the example which His disciples had followed when the church first began, which is riches by distribution not by accumulation:

Acts 4:32, 34-35 (KJV)

32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

So until Oyedepo's church gets to this point where none of his members have lack, he should not see himself as a rich man.

God bless.

Oga what are you saying?

Even God who is the wealthiest in the universe still has genuine children who are very poor.

Jesus allowed a woman to pour a month salary worth of perfume on him instead of giving to the poor.

Do you think this is the only philanthropy Oyedepo has done?

The best way is to teach and empower people out of poverty and not just welfare.

I just read a comment I'm not going to quote of someone saying until all Winners Chapel members are okay financially, Bishop Oyedepo should not consider himself a rich man.


That comment is devoid of spiritual sense. I'm not a Winners Chapel member, just a Christian and I'm pretty sure Jesus said there would always be poor in the church.

It's a natural law.

You know I met someone recently and everything about the guy showed he was satisfied with poverty.

I submit here that anyone's prosperity is entirely their business and not their pastor's.

You're in the wrong if you think Bishop Oyedepo isn't big on philanthropic works, he has just chosen to obey scriptural injunction of "doing it in secret". He's one man that will not publicize what he gives to people"publicly, sadly beneficiaries of his benovelnce also do a poor job sharing this.

For instance, are you aware over 80% of pioneer students of Landmark University students were on scholarship varying 25-100%, most of whom enjoyed 100% scholarship till graduation? (This doesn't include scholarship enjoyed by CU students, I'm just sharing on information I'm well aware of)

The same applied to subsequent sets in the college of agriculture, till it was lately channeled through the David Oyedepo foundation due to the gross abuse by its beneficiaries.

The church once gave 120 million naira in non interest soft loans to small businesses owners, the idea was upon return others could benefit from this, sadly most persons didn't return it hence clildn5be sustained.


These are few examples of many of the things the Bishop does, but he will never broadcast it for people's applause. He's dead to both the praise and censure of men.

I just shared these for persons especially Christians to be slow to speak, don't judge a matter before you know it.

Just to add to this

There scholarships given out every year to undergraduate. Once you are a Christian irrespective of your church once you meet the criteria including white garments church.

The Bible recorded there were daily contributions within the ' Acts of the Apostles ' clique, until none had need. When we throw our food to the dogs outside while the kids inside feed on bones, it's pure hypocrisy. But people will attack you for the last paragraph. What parent gives his kid a snake instead of meat. Same way what good parent takes care of the outer parts that serves no need before or more importantly than the kids within.


We must discern between good will and acts of men with shady gestures. Unfortunately these men were once our father, but I'd rather advice them to channel financial resources towards the inner part first and then after other things can be considered. Take care of the people, the people will in turn take care of the building.

You don't attend so you won't understand. I'll never hate as I'm not an envoys person nor have hare in me. The scholarships are only propaganda and are diverted to God knows where. It has been the norm for over two decades. Ive been shortlisted for the so called scholarship in time past as well as other persons I know, the funds never reached the sources nor was anything done to this. Its always a mere announcement.

Ask your so called beneficiaries how they got the financial assistance then you won't be typing with the same temerity again here.
