Duped Deeper Life Church pastor commits suicide

A pastor with the Deeper Life Bible Church, Mr. Tunde, has reportedly committed suicide at the Mowe area of Ogun State after being defrauded of N600,000.

The incident, which occurred on Friday, threw the whole Atala community into confusion.

According to people in the community, Tunde started a Thrift Contribution business two years ago, after he was sacked from his former company.

On the fateful day of the incident, the deceased sent his wife on errand, but before she returned, Tunde had emptied a bottle of Sniper into his mouth. The wife returned to meet him writhing in pain.

The wife later told people that she returned to find Tunde writhing on the ground. She raised the alarm, alerting other members of the community.

Tunde was rushed to a private hospital, where he was confirmed dead.

New Telegraph learnt that after Tunde was confirmed dead, his wife wept uncontrollable. Some residents described the pastor as an easy going person in the community.


One of the neighbours, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said he was in his apartment on the fateful day, when he heard the cries of Tunde’s wife. He noted that the woman was screaming for help, causing him and other tenants to dash out.

The neighbour added: “I have not heard the woman scream in that manner before. It was unusual. It was when I and other neighbours rushed towards her that we saw the husband on the ground, writhing in pain. We rushed him to the hospital. It was when we got to the hospital that we discovered that he took Sniper.

“The doctor said there was nothing he could do at that particular time. We lost him. The deceased was working in a reputable organisation before he was sacked. In order not to remain idle, he took to thrift collection, and he was doing well. But he was defrauded of his clients’ money. I believe that he took his life because he didn’t want to be put to shame. But killing himself was not the solution. I pray his soul will rest in peace.”

Another neighbour, who gave his name simply as Bayo, said: “The death of the pastor was unfortunate. I believe if he had shared the issue with some of his co-pastors, at the church, they probably would have come to his aid. But the action he took was not the best solution to the problem. I pray that God will receive his soul and take care of the family he left behind.”

The "Spirit of Suicide" is in the atmosphere, so make sure you prevent suicide by (1) Learning to bear shame (2) Speaking out loud (3) Becoming positively violent (4) Not accepting sympathy. (5) Praying like a mad cow (6) Not being too gentle (7) Be judgemental against negative forces ( Eat akpu and fresh soup when depressed. (9) Get delivered from ancestral powers.

Even though I'm a born again Christian, I'm terribly ashamed of the way we Christians conduct ourselves and handle depression. Unlike our Muslim brothers who would rather make lemonade when life throws them lemons, we Christians will rather commit suicide out of cowardice. We indeed have a lot of lessons to learn from our Muslim counterparts

The only pastors that enjoy are the general overseers and those close to them. All these branch pastors don't have access to the purse as everything is forwarded to the headquarters.
I had a chat with a pastor who dumped christ embassy and he told me that he's thanking God every day that he stepped down as pastor because it felt like a huge burden was lifted off his shoulders.

How can you give a pastor of a small church a monthly target of 500k? They put pressure on the pastor who will then transfer the pressure to the members of the church.

He didn't see that coming....May he find peace on this self-imposed journey.

The pastor did not practice what he preached. Suicide is a direct ticket to hell. He took his life because he couldn't bear the shame of being sacked and now losing everything, but with life there's hope. You are only a failure if after falling you don't dust up yourself and stand again. He has only made matters worse, who will carter for his wife and kids?

How nah, suicide is now part of Nigeria's budget

Those of you into scams, you are all murderers. You take peoples life savings, some of them commit suicide , some fall into depression, some get heart attack . their blood is on your hands. Hustle legit

We are all fighting various battles that other people are oblivious of.
Atimes you wonder if God is really involved in anything

Nigeria is finished

Poverty capital of the world under Buhari

Suicide capital of the world under Buhari




Buhari effect continues

Oh my....

I thought Deeper Life people believed that all their wealth is in heaven?

Why

Goes to show that depression goes beyond your religious status. We are humans first before whatever titles we choose to call ourselves

Same pastor would have told another in his shoe, that the Bible says that everything happens for good to them that love God

Don't pity scammers, politicians, police, nepali whenever karma law show up

Ha this is serious.. where is the word of God in you

Sad

Nigerians like criminality a lot. One mans action somewhere has ripple effect in the death of a man, making a widow of another, fatherless of another set, bereaved friends, parents, siblings and the owners of the money itself who will still be aggrieved. the list is too long, shun crime.

Several imams, pastors and priests are also scammers and worse they are using God's name.

You are a Muslim, a Muslim from Arewa and you're a disgrace to Muslims everywhere.

You are no different from the Boko Haram animals because you would gladly deny Allah, Muhammad his prophet and every tenet of Islam in order to sow discord.

If you continue in this path of folly, you'll die a kaffir and suffer the most shameful death imaginable.
