Hatred...
When non of a man's generation have ever tasted glory it's normal to hate any successful person
Why should a successful man come out to hurl insults at seemingly ‘unsuccessful’ people. Success is relative to different humans. No pastor has the monopoly over success.

Because a man is doing a blue collar job, you automatically assume he is not as successful as a billionaire/millionaire. But every other day we hear how wealthy people commit suicide or end up in terrible situations.

Success is in fulfilling life’s purpose, it’s not acquiring some elevated social status.

Why mock people who are trying to survive? What has Nigeria offered youths of today that you would say they were greedy for travelling abroad? What of those called by God to relocate like Abraham? What about the Great Commision for us to go into the world preaching and baptising people of all nations. Are all the people who slave away in America there cos of greed? What of those who are there to covert souls? Or do Americans too not deserve the kingdom of God? Which of Jesus’s disciples lived in Luxury while spreading the word of God like you do today? Even His earthly father was a Carpenter. Many evangelists abroad preach for free and work the so-called slave jobs to survive, while you live off tithes meant for the Levites (when you aren’t one yourself). When will this pastor(s) learn to focus on the kingdom of God and not mundane earthly things of the heathen?

Is this man truly a man of God? I have suspected this man right from the day I saw him physically abuse a little girl in his church with a dirty slap.

you dont want people to be slaves abroad but you rather they stay in Nigeria and be slaves to men like you, abi?!
narrow minded state of mind from people who only care about their own pockets... whether abroad or in Nigeria, people should look for their happiness wherever they desire, and so long as they aint doing anything wrong/illegal or against the law to care for their family, these fake men of god should be happy for these people instead of looking down on them.

these men always read the bible backwards in order that it fits their deluded agenda!!!
A foolish comment indeed, so the the Europeans you're doing slavery to not men like you

You are ignorant of the ways of God... In your own interest, you better desist from criticizing the men of God. Ask Aaron, Mariam, and more in the Bible..

Honestly, Oyedepo's utterances are sometimes insensitive and insulting at the same time.

I've had several opportunities to do so.

First one I was willing to go but then all of a sudden, I just found myself later rejecting the offer. I don't even know what really came over me then.

Another was when I had begun to walk at the level of the Spirit. It was in the early noughties when i was given an opportunity to relocate to Minnesota sometime in 2003, but I declined because by then my orientation had changed.

Although things weren't going fine, I had this strong belief that things would change, and that I was meant to be a part of the solution, so I just couldn't abandon Nigeria to go elsewhere, because I believed Nigeria needed me here.

At the time, I didn't know much about what i was doing, but over the years, I have come to realize that my decisions were actually Spirit-led, because I'm one of those that God planned to use to birth a new Nigeria He'd use to shake and shock the world, and let the world know that He's the Lord of all the Earth.

That's why when people see a hopeless situation, I see a huge opportunity for God. When people see chaos, i see the storm before a great calm. When people see a nation that cannot survive the present crises, i see a nation that would emerge from it the better. When people see a dead nation, I see a nation that would rise again, because I believe in God, and that which is impossible with men is possible with God, for with God nothing shall be impossible.

God bless.

In Summary you ended up not making any point O!

This is the smartest sentence I’ve read since morning. Gods blessings on you, Bros.

Your in-depth thinking will open doors for you.

The rest of y’all defending this foolish talk, before 1984 - 1990, naira was exchanging par to par with the dollar.

God bless you for this comment bro

Nigeria was quite doing well economically during that period, and people might think it would get even better then.
His decision could be taken by any sane person that time.

The man of God was simply preaching the word of God as duty demand. He said seek God's opinion before making any move. So anyone that have problem with that simple admonition is not normal

Thank god you refused to go. Otheriwse, maybe by now you would be driving taxi because there would not be opportunities to open your plenty business and scamming centres. They are very well civilised and will know how to tame you excesses there. So go and do thanks giving for that and as usual collect Thanksgiving offering once again.

I'm on oyedepo's side on this. I took same bold step but never regretted it. I'm an embodiment of God's favour and grace. Shebi we go the America sef, but I chose to return home after my program. I don't know if the highest earning Nigerian living overseas can match me in revenues monthly. I give them money each time I go America. Ordinary 100 dollar is like giving them millions. I had shared stories of my life and that of my uncle who used to work at Walmart in the past as stores officer. He shunned the flashy lifestyles over there and came back home, to introduce a solar inverter manufactured by trace engineering, USA which later became Xantrex. His friends booed him, they said village people had come calling, that he's been bewitched. This man today is a billionaire. He had a major leap in his business when the atm revolution erupted in Nigeria, he became favourite of old generation banks including the CBN for installation of inverters to power all their atms nationwide. Na foreigners like Indians for chop the whole money clean mouth, come pay our graduates employed with peanut.

Nigeria is a land of honey and milk. Na those in government God go punish for discouraging foreign investors from coming in through their selfish ends. Where I've stepped my feet into, none of our leaders' children had had the opportunity to reach, in their entire life. I've been with Barak Obama, courtesy my profession in DAR Hall( Daughters of American Revolution Hall) near the white House in DC.

Do we have challenges? Yes, we do. Are they surmoutable? Yes they are. Buhari can't be in government forever. If pool comes to shove, we break up and we bear our fathers' names . We can still work together as neighbours in areas where each has a comparative advantage. I have a friend who had his masters and PhD in a university in NC, where he lives. Recently, I saw him posting tokunbo cars on his status for sale...an associate Prof selling used cars...what a life! Back home he'd be an oga in one of our universities where his service would be appreciated.

brown as much as I respect your worldview to a lot of issues on this I will disagree with you because

WOULDN'T YOU RATHER BE A KING IN YOUR VILLAGE THAN BE A 2ND CLASS CITIZEN OR SLAVE IN A MANSION?

In another man's land you'll always be a guest or "not part of us just living with us" and will be treated as such.

Nigeria is bad, Nigeria is bad.you run away and leave the mess created by everybody.yes I sad everybody because no Nigerian is exempted from all the madness going on in Nigeria on a daily basis to another man's land but the menace is still there,yet you run to another person's house that has taken time,sweat, labour pain and even lives to fix their country.

Now imagine if every country had the myopic mind of Nigerian leaders and every country was as messed up as nigeria ,where you go see run? Won't you be forced to sit down and collectively agree to fix the mess?

Nigeria is bad because some people think they still had alternative.if I was American,France, Germany or Japan's president I will show every Nigerian tough love.i will close the borders and tell them you made your shiii,go and fix it.if you don't fix it Don't come back here.you will see how Nigerians will speedily fix up the nonsense.i believe Nigerians are intelligent, creative and daring when it comes to wickedness.if they channel such same energy into the development and sanity of the country,trust me, within Less than 5 years what seemed impossible will become very possible.

Just look at how Nigerians are breaking boundaries and doing a lot of exploits positively for the advancement of another Mandy country,you think if he does that here nigeria will not be a better place and a country to be proud of?
