Universities are not investments but a ministry. Oyedepo is smarter than pouring money into schools for the purpose of profit... He used 30 billion naira to build landmark. That money is capable of building 9 big factories that can generate him and his family cool cash for life. All the factories/farms in Canaanland are owned by Covenant and serves as IGR for the uni. How many real business men do you see investing in university building? Dangote? Otedola? Elumelu? Adenuga?
If Oyedepo wanted to do business he could easily venture into Oil and Gas, Telecoms, Banking and Financial secor, Investment banking and not build Covenant university.
And no the universities are not for profit. It takes 12 Covenant student school fees to pay the annual salary of just one professor. The school has over 120 full time professors with 7000 students. Start doing the math and maybe you would understand universities are not for profit ventures.
If Oyedepo was into business even your Dangote would be a learner in terms of financial networth. But no he isn't!




"But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this fellow(Jesus) drives out demons.” - Mathew 12:24



Covenant do not publish any financial reports, so I'm not sure how we can make anything of these arguments. Same with the churches you love to defend which never publish financial reports for public record as is done in civilized climes by religious institutions, both for accountability and transparency to members and the government which looks to make sure these religious institutions are fulfilling their non-profit mandate. We cannot get to know how much of a benevolent, incorruptible man Saint Oyedepo is except we can actually know what he is pulling in and how he is spending it.

And many private universities across the world are run for profit, so I'm not sure what point you're making. The tycoons you're mentioning already made big money in other industries. That they don't care to invest in education (though I've heard Dangote intends to start a school) says nothing about the profitability of the venture. Running schools is a pretty natural investment for church leaders. They both deal in human education and are easy to integrate. A bit like banking and pension funds management might go together.

You must be very confused for saying universities are not meant for money making, do you have any idea how much schools abroad generate when foreigners come to them?
If he isn't out to make profit when did the build the second school in his hometown?

as per business men owning University you conveniently forgot to Atiku, Elizade, Adeleke are those ones not business men? 7000 students paying 120 profs, that was almost the population of UI when I was there, I will say the school is doing pretty well.
Oh you think it is your 20,000 naira school fees that ui uses in paying salary. Every month UI gets 800-1 billion naira from the fg which it uses to pay salary. You mentioned Elizade, Afe and Atiku. You can go and read up on their past interviews and see how they've been complaining about the universities digging a hole in their pocket. They are now asking for Tetfund!

Lol you know it gets me excited to see Atheists get so angry about pastors. It only shows the Devil is angry as usual and he can only express it through his earthly proxies.

Since they have been criticising Oyedepo, what has changed in their lives? Nothing. And the man is changing levels from glory to another level of glory.

Oyedepo has been in Ministry since 1981. Where were they when church membership then were less than 10.

He remained focus in his calling and the Baba that called him wouldn't stop blessing him.

My brother, ask God to show you His purpose for bringing you into this world. When you know it, stay in it and remain focus.

Criticising men of God shouldn't be the reason God created you.

May the Lord grant you understanding.

No. Example is the fact that Prof Okebukola of NUC once attested to the fact that it takes over N400,000 to train a biological science grad in UI per year in 2006, Now Covenant Uni was charging N250,000 that time and u & I know the story of obtains in UI versus Covenant Uni.
I know this for real. People just look at the man from afar and conclude he is running a business without bothering to ask important questions.

Pro2makx:


You see, this is why we always advice that you people stop reasoning from your anus. The problem is, there is a way it makes your comments smell like watery sh.it.

Verifiable fact at our disposal has it that the said oyedepo stopped receiving salaries from his own ministry as far back as the ending of the year 1987 (you probably wasn't even born at the time).

Bishop oyedepo has written close to (if not more than) a hundred books. Till date he is yet to receive his first profit from his books, that's because all the proceeds goes directly into funding the church. It remain so till date. Don't forget every church belonging to living faith has a Dominion bookstore, dedicated solely to selling oyedepo annointed books and books from other men of God. Yet without receiving any form of pay from his church, this man is so blessed he had to open an office and employ some staff to manage his personal finances.

Then I got curious like you guys (Just didn't add stu.pidity to mine). I asked how does he get so much money? Until I was listening to a preaching by a man of God. He said they were in caannan land for a meeting, and a pastor friend of his decided before he left that ground he has to sow a seed as prophet offering to a higher annointed man of God (being oyedepo). This preacher I was listening to, said he also quickly decided not to be left behind. So they both set out to oyedepo's personal finance office and he said, to his utmost surprise he couldn't believe the queue they met, people were seriously struggling just to bless a man of God who might never meet or know them in person. He said he had to withdraw and repackage his seed to something better than he had packaged, yet they were on that queue for a long while before they were attended to. These are pastors like oyedepo, not mere members.
So talk with sense, except you have already made a perpetual covenant with poverty. Stop the hate, it's a kinda weakness, a symptom of chronic poverty.

Bros...you added more than stupidity to yours! You just explained how you have been brainwashed.

but b4 that maybe u should check out his net worth and rethink all that u said , and u said he could have invested in oil and such , first of all how do u know that he hasn't done that in secret second , hes not an idiot if he should just plainly invest in a business it would cause issues for him cause it'll be like he's using the church money for himself which is essentially what he is doing

and when u say that the church owns all these farmlands and properties does that mean that the members get their cut? that is , after the profits are made it is distributed to the members? lol, who the hell owns the church that the properties belong to , who determines how the profits are shared and what goes into each pocket
