I'm back from Church, and I find myself laughing as people on nairaland are claiming that I am a PR person for Bishop Oyedepo and expect I would soon be back with a rebuttal. I wasn't intending any rebuttal before, as I am not a PR person for the living faith church. But I would do this in defense of the gospel because a non credible attack against one of Nigeria's most credible churches is unacceptable.

I think many of us generally get carried away with headlines and forget the substance of an article before rushing to comment.

I have gone through the entire article and I haven't seen anything indicting of the Oyedepo family. But I would address four observations from the article itself and from the surrounding comments.

Why Should Oyedepo Or Living Faith Avoid Taxes By Setting Up Offshore Accounts Giving The Bible Verse "Give Unto Ceasar What Is Unto Ceasar"?

1) For all the businesses the living faith church operates in Nigeria pays taxes to the Nigerian government. This includes the publishing business, and the other taxable constituent businesses around the universities which includes the microfinance banks, water and beverage factories, farms etc.

2) There are over 200 nations on earth eligible to receive taxes. So British Islands is also 'ceasar'. Every nation has the responsibility to make themselves tax attractive to welcome foreign investment and Oyedepo and his family are just as eligible as anyone else to search for better priced tax opportunities for their personal or ministry benefit.

Is Living Faith Investment Carriage A Secret?


Inside the Mantle book and under the finance section of the living faith church details to great extent the administrative procedure for the church, it is well cited that the living faith church can maintain asset management to protect the church's income. Or did you expect the church to warehouse millions of dollars with banks who would live large on the proceeds and expose the hard earned income of worshippers to inflation even before the church uses it?

Are Oyedepo's Universities The Most Expensive In Nigeria As Claimed By The Article?

We all know this to be untrue. The Living Faith university system runs one of the most pocket friendly private universities in Nigeria when comapred to secular varsities of equal standing. There's nothing unusual about the price of Living faith schools.

I suspect that the addition of this claim was just to make Oyedepo look further bad and horrible.

Does Living Faith Maintain Four Jets?


This is another claim that has been debunked several times by Leke Beecroft of Church gist and many others who cared to explain.
The living faith church has used four to five planes in the past to convey its church leadership. It regularly sells her older planes to buy new ones. Currently, the church uses more of its helicopter to shuffle the church leadership and that of the RCCG around the country. While deemphasizing on the use of the private jet.

However, the article presented it as though the living faith church maintains an active fleet of four jets on standby in a futile attempt to further make the church appear greedy and evil.

If you put living faith and credible in one sentence then you are making a big mistake.

Make your findings about the organisations account domiciled with one of Nigerians leading Financial institution,I'll not mention the name but I'll give you a clue,The name starts with "A".

I'll call them an organization and I have my reasons.

I know a friend who manages their account, trust me, we have a daily inflow in millions in which the source cannot be revealed by the church's official..
It is not news that these big churches helps their members launder funds in the name of offering and tithe..

I have come to the conclusion that all these big churches are just business centres that are mostly concerned about how much profit each of their branches make..in the name of "fruitfulness".

Make una open una eyes o.. Nigerians!!! My own eye don open already.On Judgement day plenty mouth go open and e no go fit close back...una Good night.

The issues involved in the Pandora saga are beyond your level of comprehension.

There is a reason why it is a big deal to warrant an expose'. Tax haven exists for a purpose and those who patronize them
know why they do. What you are trying to do is akin to justifying reasons for sleeping with a prostitute.

There is a reason why none of those accounts was opened as belonging to Winners Chapel International, Faith Terbanacle. Oyedepo is a glorified executive criminal grin grin grin Criminals are blessed too. Afterall he cannot match the financial prowess and philanthropy of Pablo Escobar. But they are both criminals in different industries nonetheless. Escobar was a drug baron while Oyedepo is a pulpit bandit.

Can someone help me understand this thing I have observed about Christians and the Christian God:

Why is it that it's the healthy who apparently have no need for miracles that give testimonies of miracles, while those who are actually sick and in real need of the miracles don't get them?

Those amputees in Igbobi are desperately yearning and praying for miracles but don't get them.

Is that how the Christian God operate? Abandon those in need and have the apparently healthy manufacture miraculous stories!
