DangotePikin:
Oyedepo has strong belief in young people. I miss Ada Sonia loud voice during prayers. They might even be the youngest in Nigeria.

Statsocial:
Yeah Ada is amazing. I remembered she succeeded pastor Victor then and she did a great job as chaplain. I suspect the church/oyedepo could appoint her Vice Chancellor in a few years time irrespective of her age. That's if some foreign school doesn't hijack her before then.
