Religion / Oyedepo Offers Closing Sermon At Pastor Dare Adeboye's Farewell Service by HigherEd: 5:45pm On May 11, 2021
CLOSING CHARGE/PRAYERS BY BISHOP DAVID OYEDEPO AT PASTOR DARE ADEBOYE'S FAREWELL SERVICE.

Every challenge of life requires a constant.
Every problem in life requires a constant for solution.
'Let God be true' is our constant.
Ever reliable, ever sure, He knows what He is doing.

He said, "what I do now thou knowest not but thou shall know hereafter." Thou shall know hereafter.

No going back, it shall be Forward Ever.
For the entire family, it shall be Forward Ever.
For the Redeemed Christian Church of God, it shall be Forward Ever.
For the Body of Christ, it shall be Forward Ever.

Please help me stretch forth your hands, everyone in the direction of the immediate family members here and let's ask God's hand to rest on them till the end of time.
Including our parents in the Lord...ask the Lord to cover them with His wings and build a wall of fire around everyone.
Let's do that from the depths of our hearts. Church Gist. In Jesus precious name we have prayed.

Heavenly Father, we thank You because of the assurance we have that You are ever in charge.
We thank You for the Word we heard this morning. We thank You because the Church of God is moving forward.
I ask now, like we have all joined to pray, let your good hand rest upon every single member of this family.
Lord, build a wall of fire around this family.
Lord, keep this family on the move till the end of time.
Let there be no looking back from anyone in the name of Jesus.
Holy Spirit, the comforter, now take over from this moment.
Sweep over the spirit, the mind and the soul of every one member of this family in the name of Jesus Christ.
Lord, we can count on You all the time. You are ever reliable, ever dependable, always there.
This family is preserved, the young children are kept, the wife is kept and so it will be good news all the way.
Thank You Heavenly Father.
Take all the glory in Jesus precious name.

Politics / Re: Ignore Insinuations Linking Pantami To Yakowa’s Death - Kaduna CAN Chairman by HigherEd: 7:02pm On Apr 22, 2021
It is clear that CAN leadership in Kaduna is compromised. I started watching out for them the day they gave endorsement to the new igp with no substantial argument on why he's beneficial to the Christian community.

How can you tell people not to link yakowa death to Pantami and in the same breadth say there was no thorough investigation into the fatal crash. Is that not the purpose for the outcry

Since this allegation came out, has Pantami come out to deny he wasn't involved in the death of Yakowa? If not, why are you preempting his innocence?

Whos suppose to do investigate? Is it the people crying out or the stupid govt which now acts deaf and is simply waiting this out.

I mean even the churches are wary of the north.
I read on churchgist how the living faith abruptly cancelled all its plan to build a university in the north over security Intel.

I don't think they ever plan to return to that idea. I hope they all begin paying attention to their own security and stop relying on fg or state govt.

The north is one region that has invested in violence and is now only reaping it.


I'm only praying to make a whole lot of money and create an organization that would focus on protecting the Christian minorities there.
That's my only concern right now for any state north of Abuja.

The Christian minorities who had no fault in creating such a toxic region filled with religious extremism bear the biggest brunt.

When the Muslims are tired of the monster they are breeding they would talk sense into themselves. I wish them well.

It is sad that you're comparing BUA with Oyedepo? What does Oyedepo do for a living? He is a complete parasite who feeds fat on people like you. Without contribution from his gullible followers he would be poorer than you.
He mentors millions of people both mentally and spiritually.
He provides thousands of people world class education your govt can't provide.

Religion / Young Architect Who Designed Living Faith's Multibillion Ark by HigherEd: 6:28pm On Apr 15, 2021
WINNERS’ CHAPEL’S BELIEF IN USE OF NIGERIANS FOR MAJOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS IN NIGERIA : A MODEL TO BE EMULATED

Leke Beecroft

In 1999, Engineer Ike Chukwuneke, a Structural Engineer won the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) Engineer of the Year award for the design of Faith Tabernacle.
In a meeting with major construction firms before the project began, these foreign construction companies had claimed that not only was it unworkable to design a large church auditorium of such a magnitude without visible pillars, they added that it would take 3 years. The Living Faith Church was left with going ahead with prophetic conviction and used pastors and other church members to build the Faith Tabernacle without any visible pillar in exactly 12 months causing the companies to come and take pictures of the project while British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) correspondent, Jeremy Guy Vine came to conduct an interview with Bishop Oyedepo in 1999 and while he asserted that he could not confirm veracity of the information that it was the largest church auditorium, he admitted that ‘Faith Tabernacle was rather large’. Church Gist. By 2008, the Guiness Book of World Records confirmed the architectural feat of the world’s largest church auditorium with 50,000 capacity (actually 51,400).

History repeats itself.

Architect Gbenga Alalade is the Architect Who designed Living Faith Church’s Multi-billion Naira Legacy Project: The 100,000 capacity Ark (which is actually 109,345 capacity).

At the ground breaking of the multi billion naira Ark project on Thursday 25th March 2021, Bishop Oyedepo called different groups of workers including the local construction company Laralek (earlier discussed on this platform) to the altar to be blessed.

Notable among them was Architect Gbenga Alalade Johnson who was the brain behind the design of the Ark. Architect Gbenga is a thoroughbred product of Living Faith Church’s Flagship Higher Institution, the renowned Covenant University. It is interesting to note that in the past, Winners’ Chapel had always seemingly placed utility over aesthetics in her building projects. Church Gist. The Ark stands out as one of the most beautiful designs ever embarked upon by the Church and a balance between aesthetics and utility.


Here is Architect Gbenga Alalade Johnson’s Profile.
BSc Architecture, Covenant University:2002 - 2006
MSc Architecture, Covenant University:2006 -2008
PhD Architecture, Covenant University:2010 - 2016

Architect Alalade has concluded other numerous projects for the Church. He is consequently a proof of the Church’s strong faith in her own indigenous talents.


As the Founding Bishop would say ‘It does not have to be white to be right’ and as he quotes from Acts 10:34-35;

...”God is no respecter of persons:
But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him”.

IT CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE!

I mean, when you use the same parameter of attributing church wealth to the founder.

The living faith church is easily a $3Billion + organization. So by Forbes standard oyedepo would be worth $3B not $150M

Great!

This guy must be a billionaire now with all these designs

Architecture is one of the most lucrative and relatively unknown disciplines in Nigeria and the world.

They make their money from school not after school

I am not sure about that. He was an employee of the university as the physical planning director when he designed all of these projects.
He was also a lecturer of the school so I doubt he was paid separately for most of those projects.
If he was paid, maybe the living faith own. Definitely not the Covenant own.

True talk but many may not understand. The only language most if us understand is whatever puts food on our table immediate and that seems to be employment for now, however education and sustainable employment (not likely n-power) go hand in hand.
As in. it seems our people don't understand the power of data and economics.

I remember one Adamu garba during elections say he would ban private primary and secondary school and invest in public education like Rwanda.
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What I found amusing was the number of people cheering the stupidity on.

Imagine taking Children away from Ambassadors college where there parents are fine paying their fees and go give them free education. Imagine the collapse of the public education sector. Did Adamu check the birth rate or the amount private sector represents in education.

I pity for this country.

Education / Why The Government Is Right In Licensing New Private Universities (Opinion) by HigherEd: 9:00am On Apr 09, 2021
1) Nigeria's Birth Rate Is Too High:

Every year, Nigeria adds about 200,000 more candidates to UTME. The UTME candidacy of 2021 is largely predicated on the birth rate of 1998 - 2004 which hovered around 6.16 births per woman.
In 2021, Nigeria still has one of the largest birth rate in the world with 5.4 children per woman. However, unlike 1998 - 2004 there's even far greater appetite for education and a dwindle in child mortality. What this means is Nigeria is set for serious admission crisis in the near future.

Any nation which wants a purely public funded education must keep her annual birth growth to less than 3.0 per woman. E.g Finland has 1.3 birth per woman, Sweden has 1.6 birth per woman, China has 1.7 birth per woman.

2) The Public Universities Are Simply Not Enough:

For public universities to solely handle admission would require admitting 21, 000 students per annum currently. Where is the infrastructure and finance for this? Note that even the mighty Harvard University admits less than 2000 students per annum even when it has 45000 applicants. Caltech admits only 300 students per annum.

It is popular knowledge that the smaller a university the better the experience.

3) Ministry Of Education Has Little Business With Industrialization:

I have heard many say "build factories". This is not the business of the ministry of education. The ministry of education is to provide well trained graduates, ensure quality curriculum and access to esucation. It is the business of the Ministry of Finance and Economy to create policies that fosters industrialization and uptakes graduates.

As long as people give birth with no discretion, there would be need to create more universities or regulate the number of children.

4) Your Education Budget Would Not Increase Anytime Soon:

In case you don't know, Nigeria has multiple challenges in varying sectors. No one is going to lower appropriation to health sector, security etc to increase allocation to education. So the attending inflation combined with population surge would only create worse classrooms, hostels etc. And there's nothing anyone can do about it.

This is because students in public varsities aren't paying the full cost of education. So as the purchasing power of the naira dwindles, the quality of education dwindles.

5) Every Private Varsity Starts Really Small:

Quite a number of folks easily scream substandard when they see a private university with five buildings. Having five buildings on startup doesn't necessarily equate substandard education.
As a matter of fact, most great universities actually start that small and grow rapidly over the decades.
A good example, Covenant University started with less than 5 buildings in 2002. But in 2021 it has over 200 buildings. Unlike the public sector, the private universities can grow because their business model is in tune with the realities of the economy.

6) Your PhD Graduates Need Places To Work

Academia is a service industry on its own. Most PhDs need to be absorbed by research centers, universities etc. The industry can only be robust when you have sufficient diverse institutions that can absorb the number of academics being churned out annually.

You don't need to have in-depth knowledge of how something works before you can venture into it. All you need is just the blueprint. Get the people with the know how and leave the work for them. The prince of UAE wanted to convert Dubai into a first rate mega city. He needed not to study town planning or estate management to make that happen.
All he did was get a team of people with the know how and let them do their thing.

As much as you see it, to me, building this Ark will only triple the problem people are facing. God who gave us brain is not stupid. Africans need a thorough reorientation to understand that all this praying, speaking in tongues, binding and casting,etc doesn't solve anything. The advancement of the world was made possible because the whites utilize their thinking faculties; that is something that will make God proud in heaven, seeing what his children are doing. Not this garbage holima sunda bra ku shuka rabata rabato sunde rababab kata sherima – blah blah blah grin

Africans should stop bothering God to help them. It is just like telling me to catch a fish for you when I have already taken you to the river, have taught you how to fish, have giving you fishing nets. I mean what do they want God to do? Send manner from heaven? C'mon! undecided angry
The prince of UAE has a sole purpose - to develop Dubai. Everything you have spoken is still a subset of that vision.
That oyedepo created a university doesn't mean there isn't a professor as VC.

But supplying the vision and executing overall leadership can't be outsourced.
So get my point. Tim Cook investing into high tech electric cars is different from Tim Cook going to go and become the senior pastor of lakewood church.
