It worked for you doesn't mean it'll work for others. They're a lot successful and wealthy Nigerians abroad. Everyone has different path in life. But wait, can't you see the level of poverty and suffering in this country? You can't look down upon or blame anyone looking for better opportunities.

true but many would have been more successful back home. Go there and seek opportunity, then come back home and apply it and you'd never regret it. I know friends who are professionals in the USA doing odd jobs. I remember my friend who was a chartered accountant before relocating. He's merely feeding from hand to mouth now.

Hope u don build ur own church as your father in the lord did in the eighties... U haven't fulfill ur destiny if u haven't build ur business church

I don't have any father in the Lord oh, so please...

As for building my own church, I don't think I'd build any church, if I wanted to, I would have built several by now.

I think there are enough church buildings in the land already, so my job is to get them to wake up from their slumber and serve their purpose.

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 the 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.

. u don start boasting ur chest shey na only US be country weh people fit go stay mind u there other countries much okay like US.. U dey make mouth say u can boast than earn money than the highest Nigerian living abroad... So u are telling me u earn more than those naija sportsmen on NBA bah common keep kwayet, u dey with their account statement to know all these

So when someone says he refused to go to the U S in 1987 don't get carried away. Your question should be. What was Nigeria economy like then?
How much was the value of One dollar in naira?..
This pastor is becoming a comedian

I was very much close to adulthood in 1987 and I can tell you it was one of the worst years in living memory at the time. That was the year Babangida banned the importation of stockfish (the cheapest source of protein at the time for poor people) and people had to start eating stockfish head. By then, the Naira was already hitting N20 to $1 (an all-time low).

It was very clear as at 1987 the country had started to drift once more under the new regime after a positive start.

So mr man, nobody is getting carried away. Those who were very aware knew the country was not in good shape.

Nigeria now and then no be the same ooh.Nigeria is the 1980s, they will be begging you to work not Now again.Nigeria will never be good unless we divide this country.Our leaders are becoming Greedy Everyday.

jesusjnr2020:
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.

timesup234:
For the first time I am going to support him. Nigerians abroad are slaves. They work like dogs. They are all depressed and need to be locked up in a mental institution

Go back to sleep.

Òdè

timesup234:
Lol. Nigerians abroad can't even save $10 daily. if you earn $45,000 annually abroad (90% of Nigerians don't) you will almost die of depression. There is a 80% chance that you might commit suicide. Reach out to anyone you know abroad, they are about to jump off a 3 storey building

I don't argue with people without sense!
You are a dumbass!
Stay blessed!

Baba

The man said nothing but the truth ok

I'm not a fan of all these men of god but on this one he is right

Think of it this way, if its about his pocket, sebi his church has branches abroad as well so either here or there money comes in for him

He is right about it and no doubt!

MrBrownJay1:
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!!!

Lol. Americans with skills are renouncing their citizenship. You know it is possible to be a fool and brainwashed for 2,000 years?

Your moniker isn't new lols... You're part of those Giving migration a bad name! Well as for me I would relocate out of Nigeria once the time is set cos we being the poorest country in the world isn't a coincidence! It's obvious there are things we are not willing to do right

kingxsamz:
Who wouldn't want to stay in a country where one can open 100 churches in one area?

Exactly.

Jerryherd:
Bitter truth

But honestly I don't blame anyone trying to escape Nigeria thinking the grass is greener abroad

The grass is greener wherever you choose to water it, at least most people feel they would have a fair chance of getting jobs or whatever they want with some level of meritocracy compare with the nepotistic attitude in Nigeria, how can one honestly change or make any serious impact in such system.

The fact is many destinies have been revived by just a single opportunity of relocating abroad.Nigeria of those days is different from that of today.People get job appointments while still in final year in those days.Even a school cert gets u a job that you maintain a family with in those days.Pastor is saying this because he benefited from the poverty in Nigeria today which makes a lot of people fill up church auditoriums seeking for miracles,some people trek from far distances to church but still pay tithes and offering expecting miracles.

Bobbyunitedfc:

I tire for my fellow Nigerians, the hate in men of God is so alarming and scary as if they are the reasons for the chaos in the country right now..
We are just transferring aggressions on the pastors in this country, they ain't the reason why u broke...
Go and get a job!!

The people have lost their sense of reasoning. This is what a bad political system leads to.
The anger which should be transferred at oliticians is being directed at the innocent pastor who used all his resources to pay staffs working for the ministry and also build schools for the people of this country.

Nigeria 1987 and 2021is just not comparable. Never comparable

Appreciate one thing in this your epistle:

Your uncle’s breakthrough came from being and having a small source of livelihood first in the US.

Same for you. Your time in the US gave you access to information and financing. Appreciate that!

And stop being condescending!

My dream is that you relocate. Within 3yrs you will mail me privately. Nobody comes out from that hell hole alive. Nigeria is the richest country in the world, the opportunities in Nigeria is more than that found in Europe and North America combined.

No Nigerian is doing well abroad..not a single one. They are all frustrated, depressed, poor while slaving their lives away chasing mirage. Back in Nigerian we have over 80million living the Nigerian dream which upper middle class American can only dream of

How do u come up with this ur statistics if u say US I will might agreed cux that country and UK na over hype place to live in

Nikeballer:
Clown......werey Sorosoke shebi tithes and offerings don dey reduce na with the way lots of naija don dey japa.....

You didn't move abroad cos Americans are not as gullible and ignorant as naija peeps wey dey find miracle up and down and your "ministry" wouldnt have been this big

Rather struggle and suffer in a working society with good infastructure and healthcare than this shithole country that thinks our problems/suffering will be solved in their religious gatherings after paying offering, tithes and donations to build schools that average nigerians can't afford....

WRONG. AMERICANS are the biggest givers in the world and he would still vhave been big in the USA. TB Joshua was more popular in the USA , Europe and Asia than Nigeria. Americans give a lot when it comes to tithes and offerings and they also have some of the biggest ministries in the world. Go watch Christian tv networks and see how after every ministration an American preacher is asking for offerings and donations

In Summary you ended up not making any point O!

He did actually, he is finally a Nairaland resident pastor .

person don waste opportunity due to his delusion, come still dry console himself.

the urge of immigrating to US in 1987 shouldn't be compare in the same way Buhari is running Nigeria economy



comparing 1987 when poor people have opportunity to build houses with now that rich men can't even find it easy to build a house is cruelty



Bishop Oyedepo is only being philosophical here. employer of labour with which capital?
