so he bribed the judge also.

the judge is now a millionaire

From what i gathered from the judgment, the case was struck out because there was no victim or the victim wasnt willing to take up the case and so did not appear in court.Shame on that lawyer who wanted to collect 2Billion on behalf of the supposed victim.Trying to take advantage of a situation to collect money from Gods servant.I just can imagine how dissapionted and frustrated the lawyer may be and all his supporters.but, what a minute was the lawyer thinking he would succeed against the Lords anoited.Lol.Jesus is Lord.

So People are truly worshiping OYEDEPO?

This is Christianity in Nigeria, Pastor worship.

@Post

No suprise here. Its Nigeria we are talking about after all where the rich and famous maltreat the poor and down trodden and get away with it. Oyedepo may have escaped human judgement but he will not escape God's judgement which is fair and not partial.

So who would have taken the money if the case goes the lawyer's way? The lady or the lawyer?

I am sure the lawyer has never seen or interact with the lady in question. She was never at the court.

comechop: Just reading the thread is the exact reason why I don't interact with Nigerians. Brain-washed set of people. How in the world is anyone defending this verdict? It was on YOUTUBE for all to see.

And tomorrow, y'all will go and complain about oppression from the govt etc. I am a christian and all, but I refuse to turn a blind eye to injustice when I see it. What is wrong with YOU?? Why do you decide to ignore injustice in the name of religion? How foolish!

It is true - we deserve the leaders we get in the country. The replies on here are exactly why I fail to see any hope in the near future for Nigeria. Shame on you!

What are you trying to say?

[size=18pt]Judge in ‪#Oyedepo‬ slap suit dismisses suit for lacking merit, orders applicant to pay the bishop N20,000. [/size]

Say what?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since he slapped the demon out of that poor lady, why not try slapping the demons out of people in his congregation here, in the West?

Good question!

guy, you Funny, were you expecting reasonable answers here.....then again, those of you who say we shouldn't judge, does rev King's name ring a bell....I'm sure you're also guilty of judging since he happens to be a supposed MOG ......not surprised with the court's ruling....

I think all Nigerian parents shud be percecuted for slapping, hitting and using harmful weapons on their kids.
Nonsense COUNTRY

Kay 17:

Then Oyedepo would be confronted by a stranger/busybody

its a case of child abuse and a case of public derelict.a stranger/busybody is allowed to sue

Ebi jay jay: glory be to God almighty he as shows his supremicy

i just wonder why he has decided to show his supremacy in this case while boko haram continues bombing christians.dont you think that is misplaced priority seeing as oyedepo actually committed a crime?

Oluesther:

If my mum is a witch (thank God she is a woman of God and not a witch), I will preach to her to repent and also pray for her repentance. But if she refuses to repent, I will pray that God should deal with her.

Thank God I am not a fan of Oyedepo, neither am I a member of Winners Chapel. I will rather take her to my church, for my pastor (pastor George Izunwa of Gateway Church PH) to pray for her. He will never slap her. Nobody should slap my mum for me o, no matter what.

on what basis then are you supporting the violation of the girl's fundamental rights?doesnt she also have a family?

but it is unfortunate for a pastor to give a possessed person a dirty slap. it was real, I watched it on youtube, and was surprised for such action from a pastor. pastors are supposed to be Christ-like and not Satan like. Jesus sys, "in my name they shall cast out devils." not by slapping or flogging. then what makes the pastor different from reverend king who beats his followers. I think we Christians should be careful chosing where we worship so that we will not be taught an ungodly doctrine. this is the end times, many are stiff kneck and will justify themselves for every ungodly actions they take.

abhosts: At least the lawyer got what he wanted -- 15 minutes of Fame.

He also got 20,000 naira !

None of the hypocrites against the billionaire pastor has condemned the 'thief' lawyer for presenting a case Without presenting his evidence & witness then the rational behind asking for N2billion on behalf of an invicible victim. Couldn't evevn provide the link to the claimed youtbe that some of you mentioned

acidtalk:

sone of Jezebel listen and listen good. the Businessman that owns a church, university, media press and fleets of aircraft bribed his way through that case.

The judge is definitely a few million naira richer now.

Day of judgement go tell una. when you see all these fake men being thrown to hell fire.

...
YOU SAID IT ALL BRO!!! *thumbs*

Joagbaje:

He also got 20,000 naira !

He was asked to pay 20,000 to the Bishop. Not the other way round.

[size=16pt]Does this verdict surprise anyone

Nigerian justice, is it one to rely on by any standard? And, when did Nigerians starts getting justice in their own country?

Oyedepo, has skated free from man's justice but he will never skate out of the justice of Jehovah, for what he did to that poor soul.

Since he slapped the demon out of that poor lady, why not try slapping the demons out of people in his congregation here, in the West?

Abi, demons no dey this side of the ocean?

Yeah, he has Ministries all over the world, don't he? Why not try his slapping hand this side of the river and see if he would have legs to stand on.

Nigerian justice, I pity - sorrio o o!!!![/size]

Annoying - you just overpraise anything in the West as if na paradise. What will happen to his legs? You will cut it off? Abeg.

Where did the killing of witches start from? Beside, what has this got to do with the West? This is Nigeria we talking about, not some don gon West bull crap.

Justice in the West is maybe the best for you? How many people in the West had been killed for crimes they didint comit? Abeg- dont come talk about the West as if everything is perfect over there. How many people are in jail for crimes they never have anything to do with? Abeg - chop some chill pill about your so called perfect West.

When God is the chiel judge what do u expect ?rememba it is writen :and thou shal neva be ashamed

So that makes what the 'thief' billionaire pastor did ok?
The lawyer is a product of corruption just like the judge and 'billionaire' pastor!

Bigger hypocrite!

Delafruita:

I am not supporting it. Read my previous posts well. This is a case of misplaced priority. Is that the only case of violation of human right? Why lay more emphasis on this singular case, while every day, rights of Nigerian citizens are violated and nobody seems to be interested? It is only a hater of Oyedepo that will wish this case ends against him.

Fine, he did something wrong. But must you bring him down this way? He is only a human being. Most of you here condemning him do worst things on daily basis but nobody talks about it. On the last day, he will be judged just like you and I. So, please leave this scandal and humiliation of a man of God.

I am very happy the way it all ended. Besides, the girl and her family never begged that lawyer to go and get 2 billion for them, because the girl was slapped.

If you know you have ever raised your hands to slap somebody before, you are not worthy to speak against this man of God.

Udo diri unu!!!

Since Hitler wasn't the only one in history to committed a genocide! Therefore it should be permitted?!

sharrap.so because there are plenty armed robbers,the ones police manage ro arrest should be set free?or ritualists shouldnt be prosecuted because some other people commit genocide?what kinda sick analogy is this?na so the brainwash bad reach?

Now that the thread has cooled down somewhat, here is something that it is worth everyone bearing in mind.

The action that has been dismissed is the action by the particular lawyer concerned with no indication that the girl who was the poor victim of the intemperate slap was involved.

If the victim herself was to come forward and get a competent lawyer to represent her, then it will be a different ball game altogether.

And by the way, the mere fact of the dismissal of this suit, without more, is a wholly unfair basis to level allegations of bribery/corruption against the judge.

stagger: May God punish all the Bishop Oyedepo haters in Nairaland. Let them go and drink their piss and eat their excreta! Nonsense!

Such hatred for total strangers. *Sighs*

^^^^^

The effects of the syndrome called 'cult of personality'!

Hatred from those who claim to practice the religion of love!

woohoo! all the haters should better hide their faces. I believe in Him that sent Papa Oyedepo.
He has proved Himself faithful again! if you're not happy with the ruling, go mop the ocean!

dare2think: ^^^^^

Hatred from those who claim to practice the religion of love!

I'm beginning to understand the claim that there might be no future for the black race... especially with the population of dumbos and dullards IMPERVIOUS to reason..

afam4eva: I'm not a lawyer and i have nothing personal against the person of Bishop Oyedepo. But this ruling reeks of 1diocy. This case is about the pastor and the lady that was slapped and not about the lawyer, so how does him not being in the church when it happened have anything to do with the ruling when the video is enough evidence to pass judgement. This is the reason why some of us have lost faith in the system because the system protects only the rich and thereby leaving the poor and unfortunate at the mercy of these people. I'm equally ashamed that some people who call themselves Christians will never see anything wrong with a pastor. Even if there pastor was caught molesting a 10 year old, they will defend him. They will even go further to quote a scripture in the bible that supports molestation in their opinion. It's only Chineke that will save us in this cesspit of a nation. AMEN.

Very well said, it seems like poverty and hardship has affected the minds of too many of our people. Most people cant reason like normal human beings anymore.
