In this new series @voiceofthechurch profiles the wealth of Nigerian christian ministries. The Nigerian Catholic church, RCCG, Christ embassy and Winners chapel hold tremendous amount of wealth which is not unusual considering their extensive international reach.

One of the major strengths of the Nigerian indigenous churches was their ability to proliferate successfully in foreign nations, this particularly ensured that they were immune to Nigerian economic woes as they continue to receive millions of USD and other currencies from their foreign stations. The internationalisation of these churches has ensured that Nigerian churches continued to boom in the worst of recession in any country it occupies.

Today we start by profiling one of the most successful Christian ministries founded four decades ago by Bishop Oyedepo.


10 REASONS WHY WINNERS CHAPEL IS DANGEROUSLY WEALTHY

1) In 2016 Winners Chapel had over #150 billion naira expenditure. Considering Ogun state makes about 75 billion a year on Igr then it is debatable that Winners is wealthier than Ogun state.
CAVEAT: It is unclear whether the total expenditure includes or excludes expenditures of subset organizations of the church e.g universities and secondary schools.
b. It is unclear whether this figure represents the totality of headquarter's expenditure or merely a summation of individual branch expenditure. If latter is correct then each branch of the winners chapel is spending 25 million naira/annum.


2) Winners Chapel holds about 30 - 40 Billion naira in financial reserves. This is more than a cummulative of Ekiti's Igr for the next 10 years.

3) The Church has an estimated 12,000 pastors on payroll operating its 6000 church network. In comparison the global total number of clerics in Winners equal the 10,000 United Bank Of Africa(UBA) staff strength.

4) The Church tithes a 10thof her income to another Nigerian church.

5) In 2016 the Church spent 10-12 Billion naira on Educational facilities which included a 5 billion naira Research center, its 22nd Secondary school in Delta worth 700 million naira and a befitting Post Graduate residence for Covenant University.

6) In 2018 the church completed a #1 billion naira stadium in its Canaanland campus Ota.

7) The church currently holds a federal govt backed licence to build a private airstrip in Ota.

The Church's hangar reportedly can conveniently hold six private jets. However the church maintains one jet for now.

9) In the last decade the church has acquired over 24 villages translating to #8000 hectares to build a new city of 15,000 houses which would be the second biggest in the world.

10) Winners currently pays #300 million/annum to subscribe its universities to global data analytics services, which gives its universities far more edge than other universities in the country.

May Jesus give you wisdom.

Dottore:
Why are a greater ratio of the members so poor

spongeisback:
Where did he get the startup capital for all this? Did he take a loan? Which job was he doing before he got "called"?

Am sure everyone wants to know.

globalresource:
I connect to this uncommon grace on bishop Oyedepo. My hustling is blessed beyond measure.... I Dont attack achievement. I celebrate achievement

You can't keep attacking and expect to attract the same blessing

Athena4:
Dangerously wealthy in first fruits,offerings and tithes.

CrazeMan69:

He already did my friend!
That's why my fellow man won't enter Forbes list on my head while I rant like a dog for him on social media

HigherEd:

How do you know a greater number of his members are poor? How many of the 6,000 branches of living faith have you visited to make this assertion. You must have visited at least 600 to make such an assertion. Right?

Yes of course, there is no gathering of people without the poor, even wealthy nations still have poor people. So definitely living faith must have some poor folks. But my ish with ur comment is you referring to the majority as poor.

personally, i respect oyedepo because he is a man of priniciples.. The financial principle he taught is church members is what makes his members the richest all over.. The financial principle for success is GIVE AND IT WILL BE GIVEN UNTO YOU.. SIMPLE!

CodeTemplar:
So you don't consume any product from company whose owner appear on Forbes? You must be a cave man then.

Chubhie:
You just have to admire how Oyedepo moved from nothing to something. Any fool can achieve this. But, to run this empire and successfully transfer the baton to his children deserves an applause.

I see a mix of Don Corleone and Jose Mourinho in him. He has done so well for his generations yet unborn. After all, a good man leaves an inheritance for his children.

ajl:


This is a business conglomerate, not a church or religious group. A church would be talking about food banks, orphanages, community health care centers. I actually have a visiting faculty position in their university but these folks are shady. They want me to use my own money to pay for airfare. And I wasn't sure of the university because of the way their students are treated like high school students. That's not a university. Rather than remove my name from their website for the last 5 years they fail to do that because it's add value to their scholarly reputation.

CrazeMan69:

People like you are the reason Nigeria is where it is... How many people from developed countries acquire so much wealth from religious institutions?
Why not spread the wealth as Jesus taught his disciples in the feeding of the 5000
