@ Tollu, i supported d pastor comment cos some political parties claim that the country is their own. Thanks God that things are taking great shape in the country.

tollu:

His comment is just like saying the sun is hot, he stated the obvious. We all know that no political party owns Nigeria. What has he done to make the lot of the common Nigerian man better? Burying his head in the sand.He's in a position that can effect massive change and yet all he can say is obvious things. Tunde Bakare, na you biko

as one of the most influential pastors in nigeria, i am not surprised with his comments but to whom much is given, much is expected. with the number of great men of God in nigeria, we are not surposed to still be in darkness.
these great men of God must stand up and stand out. this is time to say enough is enough. they must hit the nail on the head because ppl are dying carelessly in nigeria as a result of hardship forced on them by govt.
we need to move this country forward and the places of these men of God in the battle is of great importance. many are looking up to them for support. we need these pastors to come together with one voice and tell pharoh to let our people go.
darkness we must know is a thing of the devil and as long as we remain in darkness, we are not been loyal to the word of God which says; LET THERE BE LIGHT.

THE founder of the Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oye-depo, has said no political party owns Nigeria.

Speaking in Omu-Aran, Kwara State, during a press conference, shortly after the dedication of the newly established Landmark University, he said Nigerians owned Nigeria.

He added that the political parties were just tenants, while Nigerians were the landlords.

Bishop Oyedepo said all Nigerians should ensure security of lives and property during the election, adding that this is where education plays vital role.

He urged Nigerians to vote for the candidates of their choice during the elections.

On whether it was proper for pastors to go into politics, Bishop Oyedepo said politics was a game of the public.

According to him, politics was a business for who chose to participate in it, adding that anybody could venture into politics, even if such person was an imam, pastor or even pope.

The Bishop of the Winners Chapel said it was not a crime if clerics decided to join politics, as he prayed for the nation to witness free and fair elections.

“Anybody that wins is my candidate during the election and we will support such candidate,” he said.

On the establishment of the Landmark University, Bishop Oyedepo said it was not a product of ambition but a liberating mission.

He noted the university, which commenced with 67 students, was set to ignite a national revolution in Nigeria.

Oyedepo said the institution would commence with three colleges, namely agriculture, engineering and business and social sciences.

How nice it would be if we dont empty ourselves in the public. Having read the comments made,i am really surprised at however untamed some tongues are especially when it comes to Men of God. What do you expect Bishop to have said? Statements that would raise controversies?
About his schools,isn't it obvious that God's hand is upon his ministry? 2schools running without any external funding. Have you ever been to Convenant University for an assessment of students and facilities in comparison to the said cost?
Do you know how many students are on scholarship in Convenant University and the introduction of up to 100% full scholarship grants?
Lets bridle our tongues and channel our aggressions to the appropriate quarters.
