There is no substance to the story. What I believe is that somebody is catching out on the wave to get at my Bishop

The article stayed that he set up the secret system but couldn't tell the kind of business it was used or to be used for.

The whole attempt is to get his name there....

As for the aircraft nonsense ,I have had cause to ask somebody if in his wisdom it was possible for anybody in Nigeria not running an airline business to maintain four aircraft.

Cross river state government that claimed to have set up an airline business doesn't have four jets

Nothing about aircraft is sold in naira and it is not designed to stay in the ground..the more it stays the more it incurs cost so why would any sensible person maintain 4

HigherEd:
I'm back from Church, and I find myself laughing as people on nairaland are claiming that I am a PR person for Bishop Oyedepo and expect I would soon be back with a rebuttal. I wasn't intending any rebuttal before, as I am not a PR person for the living faith church. But I would do this in defense of the gospel because a non credible attack against one of Nigeria's most credible churches is unacceptable.

I think many of us generally get carried away with headlines and forget the substance of an article before rushing to comment.

I have gone through the entire article and I haven't seen anything indicting of the Oyedepo family. But I would address four observations from the article itself and from the surrounding comments.

Why Should Oyedepo Or Living Faith Avoid Taxes By Setting Up Offshore Accounts Giving The Bible Verse "Give Unto Ceasar What Is Unto Ceasar"?

1) For all the businesses the living faith church operates in Nigeria pays taxes to the Nigerian government. This includes the publishing business, and the other taxable constituent businesses around the universities which includes the microfinance banks, water and beverage factories, farms etc.

2) There are over 200 nations on earth eligible to receive taxes. So British Islands is also 'ceasar'. Every nation has the responsibility to make themselves tax attractive to welcome foreign investment and Oyedepo and his family are just as eligible as anyone else to search for better priced tax opportunities for their personal or ministry benefit.

Is Living Faith Investment Carriage A Secret?


Inside the Mantle book and under the finance section of the living faith church details to great extent the administrative procedure for the church, it is well cited that the living faith church can maintain asset management to protect the church's income. Or did you expect the church to warehouse millions of dollars with banks who would live large on the proceeds and expose the hard earned income of worshippers to inflation even before the church uses it?

Are Oyedepo's Universities The Most Expensive In Nigeria As Claimed By The Article?

We all know this to be untrue. The Living Faith university system runs one of the most pocket friendly private universities in Nigeria when comapred to secular varsities of equal standing. There's nothing unusual about the price of Living faith schools.

I suspect that the addition of this claim was just to make Oyedepo look further bad and horrible.

Does Living Faith Maintain Four Jets?


This is another claim that has been debunked several times by Leke Beecroft of Church gist and many others who cared to explain.
The living faith church has used four to five planes in the past to convey its church leadership. It regularly sells her older planes to buy new ones. Currently, the church uses more of its helicopter to shuffle the church leadership and that of the RCCG around the country. While deemphasizing on the use of the private jet.

However, the article presented it as though the living faith church maintains an active fleet of four jets on standby in a futile attempt to further make the church appear greedy and evil.

Please help, I need advice, I am very confused man, I don't know what to do in this situation

There is this girl I met in Lagos she help me find a house in Lagos from there we started dating.

I Asked her to marry me and get pregnant for me. Later she got pregnant for me.
She started disturbing me about marriage rights.

On the wedding day I discovered that she has 3 children for one man.
I have asked her several times even before she got pregnant she keep saying no

A day before the wedding, one of my uncle called me and tell me that one babalawo said that the woman I want to marry has 3 kids already.

All that day I wasn't myself I woke her up at midnight and forced the truth out of her
She admitted and start begging me to forgive her, she said she has been looking for the best time to tell me. All this are happening on our wedding day, she beg me not to tell anyone that it can be secrets between me and her àlone, I insisted that I must tell my people from my state enugu to Lagos

My people discouraged me and said I should thank God for revealing this early.
That's how I cancelled the church wedding.

Court marriage 30th September
Church wedding 2nd October
But Before that wedding day, we did court marriage, I told her that I don't want to do court marriage because if she cheat on me I will divorce her and loose my half of my money she got angry, the first day we didn't talk, 2nd day same, Then 3rd day she start packing her loads, I beg her to stay that we have few days to church wedding she insisted that If I don't do the court that I should cancel the church wedding that she can't trust me without court marriage

We did the court marriage, without my parents consent cuz it didn't come from my heart, her junior brother is the one that sighn for me in the court

I don't know what to do in this situation oo

Her first son is 13 years
2nd son 8 years
3rd girl 6 years
And now she is pregnant for me aa

Am 30 years while I don't know her real age

We have lived together for 8 months before I could discover this
And during this period we have been together
She controls me alots and that make me sad
She shout at me too
If ask me to do something for her and I refuse it becomes problem

Please what do I do ?

You are a fool , if this your mumu story is actually true

Ofunaofu:
Not entirely true. I think Deji had a stint with the Chinese CCTV as the Nigerian correspondent before setting up Deji360. Please correct if I am wrong.
Of course Suleiman left to set up the programme 'political stew'

Don't know if he had a stint or not with them but for me, I believe he ought to have stayed back in channels for some more time

This deji360 doesn't have the visibility of deji channel TV

I believe his issue with channels started when he made a statement in live TV to this current host who was then holding forth for him while he was in one of the state's covering election matters

Kiddogarcia:
this topic is about growth in music not money making bro,reeky too might be making money, but musically he's not there anymore

No everlasting champion. Only current champion.

Dem don reign and leave stage ..what matters is whether you evolved or remained adamant that it must be stage performance, endorsement deals or nothing.

Ofunaofu:
People move for different reasons.
Channels TV did have some staff moving to other TV stations. Deji360 left, Suleiman left too

They left to start independent production not to another TV station

crowther15:
They will lose viewers if that should leave oooo.

He is the only person I actually knows his name in TVC and he is good. He goes and the station will struggle with viewership

Deadlytruth:
Obaseki simply is executing his plot to take over Edo State PDP and become the sole administrator and godfather of the party. This was exactly what he was attempting in APC but got kicked out but unfortunately the PDP and some naive voters fell for the antigodfatherism narrative it was packaged in. Edo State PDP chapter has not seen anything. By the time Obaseki is through with them the party may be out of existence in the state.

Osho with federal forces didn't succeed it is now Oba without his capable deputy that will succeed


He can only run amok within the party that is all

The court ruling on osho suspension by his ward has now be weaponised by govs against their party leadership

Megatrix:
It's true, spotlight hit number 10 on what was called the Billboard world chart then or the global 200 now. CKay's album is currently number 4 on that same chart now. I don't know why you all always down grade our artistes and never believe when they achieve great things.

People alway imagine the world revolves around them

Isn't it crazy when you see some affiliate advert and wonder who is going to buy this monsese yet somebody where pays for that nonsesme

The net is just something else

Kiddogarcia:
they all left low-key after losing it

May be ,my be not .... SID is richer today than he was as an active artist , same with Dprince.
Dija got married and immediately Bagan rating family. DNA are anchoring programme , don't know for Koredo .... But if he is still with them then he must be making money through other means ...

Remember ,Jazzy produces a lot of advert jingles for big advertising firms

mcbreeze:
Because they threaten his sit, he has the energy to travel sharply to Abuja. But couldn't go to Enugu even though those attended did nothing. Anyway, everybody go collect.
You thought it is only the poor mass, time will reach even the politicians will run.

Simpleton, state of emergency does not remove a governor .... It 9nly gives the security more leverage to act without sharing responsibility ,plans, Intel's or schedule with the governor

Kiddogarcia:
Bro he lost it, even those who stayed behind also lost it,korede Bello,dija, DNA twins,Dr sid, dprince. He did not evolve on time, but na agbo me I wan sell

I don't know if all the guys are still with Mavin..... Dija is not and the DNA guys have a program they anchor on one of the DStv channels

Dpeince owns rema
Sid is the vice president of Mavin group

You are 100% right.

I notice for some time now whenever I soak myself in God's Word and power, I am favoured financially.

Even when I was poorly paid back then as an employee pastor, I was very frustrated and almost gave up my calling.

But glory be to God, God's blessings are not determined by our income.

Romans 1 v 4

The more you resurrect yourself from the flesh into holiness the more immense you get into power and power is the ability to do work... You just find heaven responding to your thought even before you have time to do a proper request

AnalysisGuru:
Stop pushing lies as narratives.
I worked in CU for a couple of years and i can tell you that those pastors are underpaid.
When you want them to work, you say it requires hard work, but when it is time to pay them, you say it is a ministry.
I can tell you of a senior Pastor in Canaan Land now that when he wanted to hire his P.A, he made sure the church was not the one that paid him but he paid the guy from his pocket because the church pay structure was rubbish and pathetically low.
I can give you names if you want.
How much are admin officers(Non-CU Graduates) in Covenant University paid?
How much are members of Staff of SBUs (Cafeteria, Shopping Mall etc) staff paid??
You say you are a big giver and a prosperity ministry but you cannot show the ministry of giving in how much you pay your workers.
You pay workers and church worker peanuts and say you are a giving ministry. Stop capping Nonsense abeg.
You people should reason with your head for once and stop being deceived.

It is not forced labour.. They can always resign... The man they are working for is not on a 25 hours per day rotation.. It is still the same 24 hours as others and he started without a penny from them

Bible is still in the market, they should get one and start from the scratch as well

EXLOVER:
This two are just waiting for who to strike first, they should wait for me to get old and die rich before they start fighting all this their nonsense war. I thought all this machines they are inventing is to fight terrorist.


General Madman Buhari should call for a world conference and tell them about the danger of war, cause Nigéria won't send any soldier for any peace keeping mission if they start a war.





Peace is priceless, they should thread carefully...

That is the fight sir.. Wasting each others resources in a show of force until one goes broke.. It is always going to be Russia

US economy is independent of her government.. It is in fact the government that dependent on the economy but the reverse is the case in Russia

America is a capitalist country with most of the world's largest and richest companies that can even fund wars

Mangekyo:
The USA just likes being a bully. What was a bomber despatched close to the boarders of Russia for? Can't they just stay in their lane and mind their damn businesses? Thank God russia aint no country that can be bullied or intimidated. Any country wey carry e arrogance go russia go collect well well and that includes US and her lapdogs

Lindner:
Long story!!

In an interview, I was asked to narrate a really tensed sitiation and how I navigated it.

I remembered my NYSC days, I lived inside Letmauck Cantonement, Mokola Barracks, Ibadan. Year was 2008.

The wife of an Army Officer( a Major) hired me to tutor their three young kids after school. Unknown to me, it was the woman that needed tutoring on how to read English(she couldn't read nor write). She spoke only pidgin.

We agreed the fees (weekly), and I started. She would later open up to me that she needed tutoring as well. For a relatively long time, I didnt meet the Major himself. I would have left before he returned from work. I was a teacher at St Luis Grammar school just behind the barracks.

Long story short, I started teaching the woman too after she increased my weekly fee. But I noticed the woman would rather gist with me than learn. Being a student of emotional intelligence myself, I reckoned she needed someone to gist with in that ghostly environment like the Officer's Quaters. A full time house wife and in that environment. The other end of the barrack where soldiers ans corpers live was more fun and populated . As long as I was paid, we would gist all afternoon. We soon became friends. I even stopped teaching the kids. They were super sharp, intelligent, restless and troublesome. But every Friday, she never missed my payment.

One faithful Friday afternoon, the Major came home early, that was the first time I ever saw his face. I rightly assumed all the money I was being handsomely paid came from him since the wife was a full house wife.

I stood up to greet him but I couldn't tell if he was angry, sad or just being his military self. He didn't bother to respond, he just went upstairs. His wife followed him immediately.

After about 15 minutes, he came back to join me. He asked how much I was being paid, I told him. He asked if his wife mentioned why she needed to learn how to read, I told him I assumed it was for self improvement. Meanwhile, I had been collecting money weekly for several weeks and this woman could not read jack. We would rather chat, gist and laugh.

The Major went to the TV area and gave me a card, it was their wedding invitation card in 2 weeks time. He mentioned that they never got married before the kids. In short, at the wedding, the woman would be required to read a long vow or something like that. It was a Methodist or Anglican church along Bodija.

He said, given his status both in the church and in the army, he must not be embarrassed by his wife's inability to read. That was the whole reason for the lesson that we turned into chatting sessions. He said it was mandatory that I attended to witness the result of my tutoring. The whole conversion lasted for about 10 minutes and it sounded more like subtle threats and one man trying to dominate another man.

How did the woman not mention her wedding and the real reason she was learning how to read? How could I make her read in two weeks? Should we just memorize the whole text of the program? My mind started racing. I lived at the other end of the barracks, the Major knows where I worked as well. No way I could escape. I had collected a lot of money already and I was 100% certain he would be embarrassed on that day.

I did what I could in two weeks. Attending the wedding for me was like a cow going to the slaughter. My heart was pounding and was literally in my mouth. I knew the woman could not still read even after practicing the texts many times.

It was a beautiful military wedding. I sat at the back, then two guys came and said something like "O boy, oga say make we sit beside you". Which oga? They said "Major". I knew I was in deep shit. Prior to that time, a corper colleague had to be locked up in the guard room for dating a soldier's sister. Ordinary soldier. This was a Major about to be embarrassed in front of his friends, colleagues, juniors and church members. Of course, he wouldn't beat his wife, I figured I would carry all the blame and possibly return every penny I collected.

Sitting through the wedding was the most tensed period of my entire adult life. Gruelling 3 hours!. Second was waiting for my HIV test result. Of course, she fumbled, woefully at that. It was a disaster. That moment you want to hide under the seat. The officiating minster had to take charge of the situation to save face. I'm sure he wasn't aware.

As they where matching out of the church through the guards or what do they call them. Those guys that carry sticks and couples pass under them. I was seriously looking at the Major's face. His facial expression would inform me of my likely fate. His face was always expressionless but today, it was important to read those expressions so as to know my next line of action. Either to pick the next available bus back to my state and never return or something like that. But again, there's the problem of the soldiers beside me.

Conclusion.

The Major didn't have my time on that day, I guess he was occupied with the guests and all. I got lost in the crowd but never returned home directly. I slept at a colleagues room like 10 blocks away from ours. I could remember, ours was block 36 Engineering block. The soldiers sent to sit next to me also probably didn't know the reason and we all dispersed. My room mate and other corper colleagues that knew the background were waiting for the full gist of what happened. That night, I was waiting for that "gulf 3" visit. Gulf car was reigning at the time. They used gulf to pick you up to treat unofficial f**k ups.

The next day, I received a call from the Major's wife to come down to the Officer's Quarters. She didn't thank me for attending the wedding or for my tutoring or say anything that I could draw conclusions on about the mood of the situation. I was too paralysed to even congratulate her. Why would she be the one to call me given what happened at the wedding? I had heard all sorts of stories about what happens in the guard room, true or untrue, I never wanted to experience any of it. I put myself in the Major's shoes. No man should experience what he passed though in those few minutes at the altar. The Church became very quiet. Some people could not even look up.

Approaching the building, I saw the Major and one of the soldiers from yesterday and behold, the Gulf car!!.

I went straight down on my knees and then on my chest, flat on the floor in public view. My colleague had told me that was the only way I could lessen my punishment. But the Officer's Quaters was too quiet and lonely to gain any public pity and possibly help. The Major looked confused. I started apologizing and promised to even refund him. His kids (2 boys, 1 girl) started laughing.

The wife came out laughing as well, but in her hands was what I would later find out to be cake wrapped in those aluminium foils for me. The Major and the soldier just looked at me as if I was less of a man, rolling on the floor without even being accused of anything yet. Apparently, the Gulf car belonged to the soldier. The poor man was not even angry at me. I died multiple times throughout the night thinking about what evil was about to befall me. But all was just in my mind.

The wife would later tell me that she warned her husband before the Wedding not to waste his money on tutoring her. She felt she was hopeless at education.

Telephone is not the same as TV... Phones serves you in business so you need it everywhere.. TV is for relaxation.. You don't need it everywhere


There is no way I am going to have 2 hours for war movies unless at home on weekends... Can't do it on phones.. I need the home theater sound for it to be truly a movie
