narrow minded state of mind from people who only care about their own pockets... whether abroad or in Nigeria, people should look for their happiness wherever they desire, and so long as they aint doing anything wrong/illegal or against the law to care for their family, these fake men of god should be happy for these people instead of looking down on them.

Yet...the fool has a church there collecting tithes from the same people he is shaming. Is it not from the same slavery jobs the Nigerians who attend his church there are paying tithe?



Bless you brother for this statement!
Why I particularly find this part of his statement offensive is that the members of most Nigerian-headquartered Churches outside the shores of Nigeria are predominantly (over 90%) Nigerians - this is the case all over the World - from Oceania to Asia to Europe to North America; and they are mostly very small Churches. It is very difficult for them to attract Native Believers in their Localities because you can't be praying mostly about "your enemies will die by fire" or preaching mostly about “Jacob paid his tithe and God blessed him with .... ," and expect people to be interested in your Church, as their own orientation is quite different from what obtains in Nigeria. That's my observation over the years.
The only one exception is Pastor Okulaja`s Church in Ukraine, and his is not a Nigerian-headquartered Church. It was founded in Ukraine, and he has been very successful because he has focused more on caring for the sheep than taking from the sheep (which is what our Church Leaders are doing in Nigeria) and he speaks fluently the 2 main Local Languages (Russian and Ukrainian).

This man and his fellow members are indeed deluded. Why would he wanna move when he knows that he can't get away with all the atrocities he commits in Nigeria. Americans aren't as gullible and foolish as Nigerians.

These diaspora Nigerians he's abusing are also the ones that pay heavy tithes ooo, just imagine.

This man is a FOOL and his members are even more foolish! angry

I'm on oyedepo's side on this. I took same bold step but never regretted it. I'm an embodiment of God's favour and grace. Shebi we go the America sef, but I chose to return home after my program. I don't know if the highest earning Nigerian living overseas can match me in revenues monthly. I give them money each time I go America. Ordinary 100 dollar is like giving them millions. I had shared stories of my life and that of my uncle who used to work at Walmart in the past as stores officer. He shunned the flashy lifestyles over there and came back home, to introduce a solar inverter manufactured by trace engineering, USA which later became Xantrex. His friends booed him, they said village people had come calling, that he's been bewitched. This man today is a billionaire. He had a major leap in his business when the atm revolution erupted in Nigeria, he became favourite of old generation banks including the CBN for installation of inverters to power all their atms nationwide. Na foreigners like Indians for chop the whole money clean mouth, come pay our graduates employed with peanut.

Nigeria is a land of honey and milk. Na those in government God go punish for discouraging foreign investors from coming in through their selfish ends. Where I've stepped my feet into, none of our leaders' children had had the opportunity to reach, in their entire life. I've been with Barak Obama, courtesy my profession in DAR Hall( Daughters of American Revolution Hall) near the white House in DC.

Do we have challenges? Yes, we do. Are they surmoutable? Yes they are. Buhari can't be in government forever. If pool comes to shove, we break up and we bear our fathers' names . We can still work together as neighbours in areas where each has a comparative advantage. I have a friend who had his masters and PhD in a university in NC, where he lives. Recently, I saw him posting tokunbo cars on his status for sale...an associate Prof selling used cars...what a life! Back home he'd be an oga in one of our universities where his service would be appreciated.
this uour last paragraph though.
He's not appreciated because he sells cars?
We both know he's probably better paid than most of his old mates who are languishing in abject poverty elsewhere.
For every successful Nigerian there's like 10 abject failures. We're talking of a country where the minimum wage is 33k naira.

How many Nigerians have a high living standard?
Very meagre percentage.

You refused to move to the US. Later you established churches with help of your poor congregation.
You pay your graduate pastors mere N38k monthly salary. This amount is less than what you spend on designer shoes.
Jesus Christ used to feed His followers but modern day pastors feed on their followers.
Only God knows those who truly worship Him.

Indeed, and the guys last paragraph is weird. So is it a bad thing for the Professor in NC to have a side hustle selling cars? Lots of Americans have side hustles to earn extra income. And trust me a professor in America is much more appreciated than being in OSU or even Unilag with salary of N250k, where you are forced to make ends.meet by doing things against your conscience like selling handouts and being settled for Marks.

Besides the guy selling the inverter thing would never have got to that stage if he had never traveled abroad in the first place. If he had stayed back, then that opportunity would likely never had come. He would never have had the contact with that American company and with poor salary in Nigeria he'd likely not have the capital to do that business. So going to America is what helped him.

jesusjnr2020:
I've had several opportunities to do so.

First one I was willing to go but then all of a sudden, I just found myself later rejecting the offer. I don't even know what really came over me then.

Another was when I had begun to walk at the level of the Spirit. It was in the early noughties when i was given an opportunity to relocate to Minnesota sometime in 2003, but I declined because by then my orientation had changed.

Although things weren't going fine, I had this strong belief that things would change, and that I was meant to be a part of the solution, so I just couldn't abandon Nigeria to go elsewhere, because I believed Nigeria needed me here.

At the time, I didn't know much about what i was doing, but over the years, I have come to realize that my decisions were actually Spirit-led, because I'm one of those that God planned to use to birth a new Nigeria He'd use to shake and shock the world, and let the world know that He's the Lord of all the Earth.

That's why when people see a hopeless situation, I see a huge opportunity for God. When people see chaos, i see the storm before a great calm. When people see a nation that cannot survive the present crises, i see a nation that would emerge from it the better. When people see a dead nation, I see a nation that would rise again, because I believe in God, and that which is impossible with men is possible with God, for with God nothing shall be impossible.

God bless.

And you have been seeing since that 2003, and this is 2021, 18 years after you decided not to relocate from Nigeria, and you are already growing grey hairs on your head, and we are yet to read your name on Who's Who in Nigeria, but only on the anonymous Who's Who on the insignificant Nairaland forum. And yet you desist not from being a seer.

And has Nigeria gotten better since the day you made that decision, or gotten worse?

And if you had only depended upon your myopic vision and prophecy since that 2003, and not on your God, would life have been better for you in this going-down-the-hill country?

Well, let me not discourage you, keep on enjoying your sweet dream until the politicians loot away all the country's resources, until the bandits and the unknown gun men walk freely across your own side of the street killing, maiming, kidnapping and extorting the innocent neighbours close to you, until the yahoo gangs, the young prostitutes, the ritual killers, for the love of money continue to destroy the societal morality.

Keep on dreaming Bro for your utopian Nigeria that is never going to come to pass until Jesus arrives.
