Are Covenant and other mission schools exclusive to christians only?
I went to Bowen and we have quite a handful of muslims

It is all well and good to minister to people’s souls, but without a roof over their heads, clothes on their bodies and food in their stomachs, the sheep will assuredly stray from the flock. Bishop David Oyedepo of Winners Chapel is cognizant of this truth that escapes the mind of other men of God. Hence he always incorporates community schemes into his broader mission of soul winning.

The stupendously rich pastor who presides over one of the biggest congregations in the southern hemisphere is a maverick of no mean repute who has invested far and wide and boasts perhaps the biggest business portfolio in the body of Christ. While it is undeniable that the Overlord of Canaanland attracts wealth by the lorry load, a lesser acknowledged fact is how every scheme he engages in is carried out with the benefit of his burgeoning congregation in mind.

And now the charismatic and explosive man of God is at it again. The dream of a gigantic housing estate-cum-mini city which was floated few years back has materialized. The huge complex of colourful homes and first-rate amenities is said to comprise up to 15 000 residences, ranging from a single bedroom apartment to multi-bedroom mansions.

The best part of the humongous superestate dubbed Canaan City Estate is its self-sustaining model. In a move comparable to the famed Eko Atlantic project, it will have its own markets, parks and gardens, sports centres, pipe-borne water system, police department, fire and medical services, and power generation. Everything will be connected together by a network of fine roads that look like they were transplanted straight from a First-World country.

It is no news that when he founded Covenant and Landmark universities, two of the best private schools in the country, he decreed preferential treatment for members of his church when it comes to admissions. It is more of the same with the current project. According to those in the know, the Canaanland Housing project is adopting a strict “Church Members First” policy before outsiders are considered.

With repayment mortgages of up to 30 years on offer for the houses which are up for sale at mouth-watering prices, the Canaan City Estate has become a hot cake among property lovers who are rushing to buy before the prices balloon out of pocket range.

Each estate contains about 300 houses and are gated even within Canaancity

No greening? Typical Nigerian homes!

thankfulsoul:
lovely place to be. I am staying there. My view now. But the hype too much. Canaancity is not as. Big as the poster is portraying it. Canaanland is even bigger than Canaancity. Abeg Oyedepo na correct businessman

blank:
There's a 30 year mortgage which is really good. It will make the houses more affordable to more people.

BIXYBABE:
But it still part of the rich followers that will buy d property, and also no one pray 2 be poor forever.

CodeTemplar:
It may end up being bigger than Lagos because developers are already seeing the nearest future prospect of that axis as a high brow area and are expanding it already by situating new estates around Canaan city. What's the size of Ikeja by the way.

barojana:
However a word of caution to Winners family and Oyedepo. I'm saying this as a christian. Canaancity that I saw with my eyes is too big to have a strict Christian identity. It would spark unnecessary debates if Muslims are in anyway shape of form excluded from this city. How can a citizen of this country be exempted from a city within Nigeria based on religious affiliations.

When the church finally opens to member of the public it must sell to Muslims, traditionalist and atheists too, because the land was procured from both Christians , Traditionalist and Muslims and the land still belongs to Nigeria.

We enjoy amazing peace and coexistence here in Ogun State, between Christians and Muslims. And our peace over the years has been a product of mutual brotherly respect not grandstanding.

Also, the church for the love of God should avoid running a business monopoly. Schools, hospitals, market should be open to everybody to invest in. These are issues that can cause problem in the future.

Lastly, It would be interesting to see whether Winners would allow RCCG fulfill her aggressive church planting system inside Canaancity. If rccg and winners fail this test, then if anyone complains of too much churches in Lagos then we should all just shut up.


Canaancity and Redemption city should take note...

so how much does the average nigerian earn to be able to afford 30 years mortage. You also have to put some cash down, your age will be checked and also ur account to be qualify for mortage

mrbock:
Mr man massive funds were invested in those projects, so they should run at a loss or what?

if you have a decent job, you will qualify for a mortgage and I've been privy to the terms. they are very generous

instead of you to applaud excellence. you all will castigate

if you are worried about folk not being to afford a very modest amount for accommodation, you anger should be directed towards the government.

Obviously it won't be for everyone but it will ease ownership for a lot of others. People that may not otherwise qualify will be able to and since it is self sustaining, it would also be an economy kick starter. It's a good move.

Afroban:
Ikeja is 49.92km2 while Canaancity is 8,000 hectares,

Lagos State is 351,861 hectares

The same duplex winners is selling 35 million is being sold by adron for 70 -90 million naira in the same Ota. And I don't think adron has the sort of services canaancity offers. So anyone who talks down on the church is saying rubbish... There are spaces for high rise buildings in the future plan and it would accommodate thousands of people. 90% of Winners adult members would be ablte to afford the housing self.

The only thing I hope they are working on is how to bring in the business community into that place. I advise the Bishop to reserve a chunk of the land for an industrial estate. The presence of 24/7 electricity and good road networks would be too enticing for businesses to pass over. And with that, banks would start moving in. The presence of a thriving middle class of hundreds of thousands of people would further encourage other businesses to come in.

this will not be an economy kick starter rather an avenue for corrupt rich people to launder money. You will be suprised that most of the rich guy might have bought the property before construction.

The city will most likely have rules that all residents will have to abide with. If you want to live in the city, you'll have to live by the rules else criminals might as well make it an haven.
