Coronavirus: Oyedepo Attacks Govt Over Closure Of Schools, Malls by wwwihy: 1:54pm On Mar 22, 2020
Bishop David Oyedepo, the General Overseer of Living Faith Church, also known as Winners Chapel has criticized the government over the closure of schools in Nigeria.

Most states in Nigeria as at Friday ordered the closure of schools till further notice as the country battles the spread of Coronavirus.

Also, Lagos government cancelled gathering of more than 20 person after new cases were recorded on Saturday bringing a total number of cases in Nigeria to 25.

But, Oyedepo who held a service on Sunday and shunned government directive on religious gatherings, said the closure of schools was not a right decision by government in curbing the spread of Coronavirus.

According to him, the only disease that has no cure is hunger.

Oyedepo said: “May God help our policy makers to make the right decision in finding solution to this scourge called Coronavirus.

“How can you close school and ask them to go home.

“You are sending them for where they are more secured to where they would be exposed to the disease.

“You are sending them away from where they are not more than 20 back home to go and sell pepper for their mothers in the market where there are more people.
You block people from having access to malls in the name of preventing a disease but you don’t know that the only disease that doesn’t have cure is hunger.

“May God help our leaders to make the right decision in search of solution to this pandemic.”

Oyedepo had earlier said the cure for COVID-19 will be out soon and nations will rejoice.

"Obey the government, for God is the One who has put it there. There is no government anywhere that God has not placed in power. So those who refuse to obey the law of the land are refusing to obey God, and punishment will follow."

Romans 13:1-2

The first place to be shut down should be the Senate, the Houses of Reps and Houses of Assembly. Government offices should be shut down too.

To me, Children are safer in schools for now than in homes.

What about the buses..?

Bishop I totally support you on this one.

I am sorry and I am a devoted Christian but Oyedepo talk is disappointing.

Only the living can praise God and God does not live inside the Church. He is everywhere and can be worshipped at anytime.

If there is a highly infectious disease ravaging the planet
that has no known cure,the only wise thing to do is to take reasonable steps to limit its spread.

Oyedepo has a responsibility to protect his sheep and today he failed in this regard. Stay at home is not a directive not to worship God is it?

Please, stop lying to yourself. Children are safer at home than at school. Any parents that decide to have their children on the streets selling pepper are on their own and should be arrested immediately.

Oyedepo is a fraudster
but what we have in Nigeria is not a government. What we have is a cabal of selfish men who are purely out to subjugate others to their useless way of life.
And pmb is the greatest scam of the Century. Making a lifeless man the president of living people is too difficult for me to understand.

Oyedepo has always been a greedy fool with an overinflated sense of self importance so this is not surprising. I knew idiots like him would flaunt the social distancing order.

Avoid churches run by west...it is simply a business enterprise and doesn't have the congregation at heart.


They are just business men and women on the altar.

evil kingdom of Saudi Arabia shut their shrine for your likes why didn’t your mosque in Nigeria locked it’s door just last Friday?

The church will march on and the gate of hell can not prevail

Your likes and those useless atheist on this forum are quick to attack Christianity, the man called daddy freeze has been insulting men of God but he was offered some money to insult Islam or their prophet he chickened out

I want you to know don’t take our love and humbleness for granted

God has given prophets in this world to speak fire

And I’m telling you as a prophet of fire if you’re among those that just insulted the man of God on this thread you’ll meet your end before this year ends go mark it on the wall
