He seems to be the only one prospering while the majority of his church members are busy papaing him, going to shiloh Year in, year out seeking for propsperity that never seem to be in-sight.

On a more serious note, does this man ever give back to the society, any charity programme for the less privileged?

ValentineMary:
Yet many of their church members can't afford 3 square meals a day.

CeterisXVII:


That is totally untrue!! Have you ever been part of any project in that church?? More than 80% of materials, men and resources used at any point in time, are locally sourced. All labour is 100% local personnel. So where did you draw your erroneous impressions from??

You're telling me that the steel, aluminium, plastic, and wood products have their origins in Nigeria? The banisters, chairs, lights, air conditioners, flooring, toilets are made in Nigeria? That the machines to forge, bend, lift, and affix these items are made in Nigeria? Unless I'm mistaken the vast majority of inputs to this and many other projects end up feeding families not in Nigeria. Labour is bound to be of Nigerian personel, but I'm not convinced that they constitute up to 1/20 of the budget.

My initial argument was that the money might have been better spent directly funding small Nigerian enterprises for production. You might be right that there's significant money given to contractors and suppliers in Nigeria, but I think you'll find that the lions share of profits leaves the country in one form or another

Serious selfish business minded pastor,
Solve a million problems,
Save countless souls by building a single industry.
Times it by the number of industries or factories you built and see you wipe out poverty and some vices in those areas its sighted.
Establishing or building churches or mosques is not our problem(s)
Our problem(s) is how to absolve our numerous unemployed youths.

May God bless everyone that heeds this advice Amen

CeterisXVII:


This church has already built two top notch universities, which employs hundreds of people and pays them their daily wages. So what are you saying?

Oya make both of you continue battling on a crazy book written some thousands of years by anonymous authors that are filled with contradictions. Anything atall you want to justify, open the next verse and there you go.

Can you hear yourself? "Even if they do" it tells of someone who is not just happy about what is happening. You seem to be a christian but you have been swayed by reports about this man of God in the media. If you know only 10% of what this church has done you will not even open your mouth against it. We don't call the media to cover our good deeds. He that sees us in the secret is blessing us openly.

tajad:


Do you think it is his agenda? It is commanded by God and only God can bring it to pass. Except you are angry against the move of God because I can see you are quoting scriptures that do not add up. God does not live in temples but he said we should not forsake the gathering of believers. Where should believers meet? Check your heart to know if your statements are not coming out of bitterness towards this man of God and the project. I hope you are sincere with yourself

tajad:


May God forgive you. What will you say about Solomon who built a temple made of gold for God and God was pleased with him? Your statement reminded me of the pharisees and I hope you are not one. You do not have to paint a church bad to get people to your own church (wrong strategy). May God forgive you for despising his agenda.

You're telling me that the steel, aluminium, plastic, and wood products have their origins in Nigeria? The banisters, chairs, lights, pianos, electronics, tiles, air conditioners, flooring, toilets, paint, etc all originated in Nigeria? That the machines to forge, bend, lift, and affix these items are made in Nigeria? Unless I'm mistaken the vast majority of inputs to this and many other projects end up feeding families not in Nigeria. Labour is bound to be made of Nigerian personel, but I'm not convinced that they constitute up to 1/20 of the budget.

In fact the only things I can think are truly Nigerian in origin are: cement, blocks, wood for roofing. The roofing sheets are either tiles likely made in Korea or sheets manufactured in China (albeit corrugated in Nigeria). They might deign to use Nigerian doors and windows, which is open to doubt.

My initial argument was that the money might have been better spent directly funding small Nigerian enterprises for production. You might be right that there's significant money given to contractors and suppliers in Nigeria, but I think you'll find that the lions share of profits leaves the country in one form or another

At times I wonder how some people can be so jealous and envious. Is it your money that the bishop will use to build the Faith theater? OK, you people that are telling him where to channel the money who tells you where to channel your own money? Your money your business, Church/God's money Church/God's business. Living Faith church has over 20,000 employees in Nigeria which they pay handsomely every month. How many employees does federal government of Nigeria has? You people should hold your buhari responsible for youth unemployment not the Bishop.

shadowgwalker:
shatap ya smelly mouth! Is it his personal property or for the church members? Is he the one building it or the church members doingg it for themselves. Ona go just open mouth dey talk blehblehbleh like imbeh. Is he ur governor to come and give u employment or is he ur stretcher to carry ur lazy bones to go find a meaningful life?

The president and founder of the church Bishop David Oyedepo made the announcement on Friday 11 December 2015 Shiloh.
The church is said to be a 100,000 seat capacity for adults and 10,000 for children. see the proposed church

deeonlyme:


The only thing I can ask God for is to forgive you for your lack of knowledge and not make you pay for the sin you just committed against his servant. This commission has built multiple primary and secondary schools in every state and has also built two standard universities. All these institutions have employed thousands of Nigerians with different academic qualifications. Please don't attract course on yourself and family.

NigLasPresident:



who are you complaining to about church and mosque not being the issue to stopping unemployment? Since when did Oyedepo became the President of Nigeria? Or you now want to dictate what visions he should have? If you weren't idle yourself maybe the devil wouldn't have used you as his workshop.

The fool has said in his heart, 'there is no God'

menesheh:


I noticed that there are different definitions of the word fool.


If the bible's own definition of a "fool" is a person who refuses to accept some crazy stories in a book out of many of such stories without any shroud of evidence, am happy to be that fool.

I know of dictionary definition of a fool to be a person with low judgement and less intelligent. Such persons are ready to believe anything atall with faith. Faith being when one pick-up a Harry Potter book and read all the weird claims there, instead of taking it for what it is, decided to credulously and gullibly started living his life as if it is a real life story. An not this particular fool.

If the bible's definition of a fool is a person who refuses to accept a statement made by a book that says "any person who refuse to accept and absolutely hold on to its unsubstantiated claims is a fool" count me one of them.

If bible's fools are persons who disbelieve in the reality and factuality of talking snake, that the universe was created by an alpha male in the sky in six days, that a full blooded human spent three days in the belly of a fish(where the digestive system of such fish stopped working for three day), that some magical spirits said this or that, etc gelalahe men , am one of the fools.


But the people i see as dictionary definition of fools are persons who read in a book that said "The fool has said in his heart, there is no Allah" and Started taking the book serious. People who don't care whether or not their belief is rationally justified and true. People who wear god eyeglass and can't see clear view of the reality in their front but can only see god.

Another silly altitude is that you always shrimp my comment so that people going through it will not see the apt rebattle to a silly reply but i gat no problems with that anymore.

And stop spamming me. I hope we don't follow each other here.
