[s]Attempts by Bishop David Oyedepo of the Winners
Chapel, Ota, Ogun State, southwest Nigeria, to make
members of his congregation pray for President
Goodluck Jonathan to win the 14 February
Presidential election backfired on Sunday when some
members refused to stand up from their seats to pray
for Jonathan.
Bishop Oyedepo had asked members to stand up to
pray for Jonathan who came to the church for prayers
to win the election, but some members of the
congregation who were not happy with Jonathan’s
performance refused to stand up. They remained
seated and refused to pray for Jonathan.
This did not however stop the prosperity preacher
from praying for Jonathan.
Worshippers and clergymen got more than they
expected with the visit of President Goodluck
Jonathan to the headquarters of the church, located
in Ota, Ogun State, western Nigeria on Sunday, when
the church was hit with condemnations and criticisms
from Nigerians.
President Jonathan, with some of his aides, the Chief
of Staff to the President, Jones Arogbofa and the
Executive Secretary, Christian Pilgrim Board, Mr.
Kennedy Okpara, worshipped at the church during its
third service after they arrived the church premises in
a helicopter.
A few minutes after his departure, however, the
internet went buzzing with the news of his visit as
bloggers latched on to whatever they could gather.
Many of them ended up misquoting and misinforming
the public thus resulting in the outrage that greeted
the President’s visit.
Nigerians were provoked by the statement falsely
credited to the General Overseer of the church, Bishop
David Oyedepo, saying he would open the gates of
hell upon anyone who opposed Jonathan’s re-
election.
Some of the bloggers even claimed that he warned his
church members against voting for the candidate of
the All Progressives Congress, APC, Muhammadu
Buhari, and that anyone who went against this
remains a candidate of hell.
The bloggers’ false interpretation of Oyedepo’s
admonition irked Nigerians who saw this as an affront
on their mentality and wondered if Oyedepo was God
or if he actually had the keys to hell.
While some Nigerians said they were shocked that
Oyedepo could make such a comment, others went
comic calling him a man of “small gods.”
Unfortunately, however, many of these bloggers and
news writers were not in the church during the
President’s visit, but they all attributed their news to
sources within the church.
Our correspondent who attended the third service of
the church which was also attended by the President,
his aides and politicians in the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, from Lagos and Ogun states, reports that
the drama however began from the church.
Before his preaching during the service, Bishop
Oyedepo had given President Jonathan the
opportunity to address the congregation.
Spending very few minutes, Jonathan, who said he did
not want to say much so that Nigerians would not
think he only attended the church to campaign, urged
the members to pray for the country ahead of the
general elections.
He said his call for prayers was necessitated by the
various predictions by leaders and clergymen about
the elections and their outcome.
“There are various predictions concerning the election,
but I trust God to take control of the situation,”
Jonathan said.
He also commended Bishop Oyedepo for his
commitment to God’s work and to education, adding
that only through education of its citizens would a
country develop and progress.
“I commend Bishop Oyedepo for his commitment to
the work of God and education, without education we
can’t achieve much,” he added.
While some of the church members were excited to see
Jonathan, others grumbled, saying he had suddenly
turned to the Winners Chapel after he discovered that
he is no longer welcomed at the Redeemed Christian
Church of God since a senior pastor of the church,
Prof Yemi Osinbajo, is now the running mate to Buhari
who is contesting against Jonathan in the election.
Some also whispered that the pastors in the country
were not helping matters as they are not acting like
prophets and leaders in the Bible who spoke truth to
people in power.
After his speech, the Bishop asked that the church
members stand up and pray for the President.
He asked that since God always answered prayers of
the church members, they should pray for God to give
the President the wisdom and strength to rule the
country and the unusual grace to lead the nation.
Our correspondent noted that while many stood up
and prayed fervently, some sat down, while some used
the opportunity to pray for themselves.

Buhari has a bad history.
The bastard divorced his first wife.
So we want a divorcee,a coupist,a dictator,a terrorist,a tribal and
religious bigot as our president.
God forbid bad things

[size=18pt]A former Coupist will never rule Nigeria.[/size]

If Buhari is the only option, Nigeria should be without a President than to have Buhari.

GEJ till 2019

mekaboy:
APC just making empty anoying promises. Throwing millions of jobs around, paying old people 5k each, paying unemployed youth 10-15k, stablizing global oil prices . Yet no single detail of where the money will come from.

No details on how much they will bring in, all they are saying is how they willl spend.

shizzle11:
The way those mofos defend Tinubu is mind boggling. He wants to run Nigeria like his private estate the way he has been running lagos state. God forbid! we will reject him and his greedy plans both in lagos and in Nigeria.

organic973:
But please I want to ask is God almighty an author of confusion? NO! How can one shepherding God's flock go into leadership position. Am thinking was he actually CALLED? Is he actually born again? Because I know very well and understand that CHURCH LEADERSHIP is different from POLITICAL LEADERSHIP. I sincerely doubt the claim integrity osibanjo knowing that if God calls anyone it's forever unless he himself dismisses the person. And he is proposing to bring change in Nigeria. So osibanjo may or can boldly tell us if God has dismissed him from pastoral work because he can't work effectively in pastoral work and as a vice president. I see this a conflicting issue.
It's a personal observation so I need no abuses or harsh replies.

Thanks

.....Now I know the disadvantage of freedom of speech: It is better you maintain your silence rather than displaying your ignorance.

You need to know what the electoral law says about Presidential candidates!...What does it take for your father to present an authentic certificate? Why should the issue of certificate linger for even a month?

I am not a fan of GEJ, but if indeed we need a change, your father should have cleared the mess generated by this certificate issue.

GEJ is weak, but to think Buhari is the only Nigerian than can save this nation is nothing but absolute mental degradation many Nigerian youths are suffering from.

x9ja1960:
For our side;

Change is when an ordinary Nigerian becomes president and not the usual cabal that have held us hostage since 1960...e never happen before!

Change is when a Nigerian president (presidential system) has a phd and a result to prove it...e never happen before!

Change is when petrol price goes down in Nigeria...e never happen before!

Change is when you have a port in Onitsha...e never happen before!

Change is when cars are being built in Nnewi...e never happen before!

Change is when a Nigerian president has all his children studing in Nigeria...e never happen before!

Change is when a Nigerian president allows free and fair elections, freedom of speech, so much that the opposition come get mouth dey shout change...lol...e never happen before!

Change is GEJ and GEJ is Change! No wonder those old men dey vex...power don commot dia domot...lol

Add ur own ooo...

Truckpusher:
You're naive on how Nigeria's politics works .

Once GEJ is ready to play ball even at the dying minute with these your greedy politicians in APC Buhari would be abandoned like a woman abandoned by her numerous lovers when she is gone past her prime.

Buhari will cry again.

Redstone:
......But few Nigerians are actually gullible and deranged by chosing to vote
a certificate forger,
a liar,
a nepotic and
despotic candidate
who rose to the rank of a general via quota system, favoritism and nepotic channels even with forged WASC result which he never had a certificate for. It's a shame.
