I feel compelled to write this to set the records straight as deeper life is being given kudos that they don't deserve in anyway.

It's really wrong and dishonest to claim that deeper life donated a car park and bridge to the public as the car park is not open to the public but strictly for their private use in their new church head quarters building. The truth is that the church did not even have any plans to build this car park till it was imposed on them by governor Fashola as a precondition for allowing them to open and operate from the premises. The truth is that building approval should never have been given to a church of that size (40,000) capacity in a residential area because of traffic considerations but somehow they got it. Along the line when residents of the area(i am one) saw how big the structure was and the implications for traffic, some of us petitioned the then governor of Lagos state(Fashola) and Fashola came personally to inspect the site. It was then he gave them the condition of providing adequate parking and an alternative route(bridge) as a precondition for allowing them to open the church. The church had no concerns about the traffic problems their being there would cause neither did they care and if not for Fashola they would have gone ahead to open the church years ago not giving a damn about the horrendous traffic a church of the size will cause in a residential area. For them to spin it round and give an impression that they are donating something to the public is damn right nauseating. They built because it was imposed on them and for their own selfish reasons.

I said it.

Thunder fire Kumuyi & all his zombie herd

Imposed or not... A bridge was built... Some Churches would just wait for another government to take over so they can forget about it. But that was not the case here. When something good is done, it deserves recommendation. Also I don't think Deeper Life came online to post their accomplishment. It's not their style, and I'm pretty sure you'll utilize the bridge as well. I'm sure they are many other Big Churches with large congregation causing huge traffic without caring. Trust me if they didn't care about you people, they wouldn't listen to the government. In the sands of time, fact and history will carry it that Deeper Life built a bridge and a park. Other big Churches shd learn.

Could their building it be because the lagos state government might put the church under lock and keys if they didn't do it by a specified date?

You're making it sound like they would've been operating anyhow unabated till a new government comes in. Also its pretty obvious APC would win the Lagos gubernatorial election next year barring a disaster so there's really no "new government" taking over or at least the chance is slim so your post is pointless Sir

Be wan fear o!..the nigeria churches we knw hardly give anything free to the public,they give with one hand,collect double from u with the other hand..

What kind of twisted logic is this Deeper life built those structures because they were forced to. Left to them they wouldn't have given a damn thanks to Fashola who imposed it on them. They don't deserve any credit for it as they were forced to build the structures else their church won't be allowed to open. They built it strictly for their own selfish reasons and not out of care for the public.

lies, I stay at gbagada, I know u are 1 of those that try so hard to criticise churches

The church did it so as to ease traffic, not only for members, Then why did they also donate those street lights if they did it for members

Stop saying trash if u don't stay close or live around that area......They have already started the plan before the petition was made

I also stay in Gbagada and I can testify that the OP is 100% correct. If not for Fashola, deeper life would not have constructed these structures. It was imposed on them as a precondition for allowing them to open the church.

I hear u...when Did fashola enter power

This project have been on since the last 15 yrs, Fashola just told the church to hasten up the Bridge project so as to enable free flow of traffic, At least let's appreciate good things sometimes.

Either way... There was a bridge to ease traffic. I don't understand why this should be a debate of who did what. Case close

Was a bridge built? Yes or No

Was it in Lagos? Yes or No

Was Deeper Life involved? Yes or No

For those saying that they should not take credit (Actually, the Church's website has not said anything, neither has it been announced in their Church), please come and take the credit.

Whether it was forced on them or not, the fact simply remains that the bridge has been built in Lagos state by Deeper Life.

Case Closed.

I can see children of devil and hate trying as usual to discredit what the Church is doing and they will be the first to say these churches are not doing anything.

Well, its the devil in them that using their fingers for anti Christian and anti church purposes

Stop making assumptions on things you don't know. The car park and bridge was never in the original plan of the church building project cause they never cared about the environmental impact disaster it will cause. It was not until some of us petitioned Fashola that he came and insisted they must make adequate provision for parking and create alternative routes before being allowed to open the church. I am a living witness to the whole issue so stop arguing about what you don't know.

Sir you are talking as if you are among the project team member. The original car park was meant to be underground but (still there today) the underground car park was later converted to children church due to security implications.

As for the bridge, it has always being in design.

Deeper life uses her money to construct facilities that will make life easier for her members and benefits the community, isn't that credible.

Am sure you will come and complain about holdup along lagos-ibadan expressway.

Just keep quiet and mind your business, and let LASG deal with it

You are saying arrant trash

The process was slow, That was why the petition was made....Project that started 15yrs ago

Lagos state by itself wanted to do the bridge but the church took responsibility of it

Ok agreed, will you use the bridge? If yes and you are here castigating them, sie you are wrong.

Eh this one is so desperate to nullify any good deed attributed to a church.

Adekdammy:

The truth is that the bridge would not have been necessary if deeper life had not breached urban planning regulations and connived with Lagos government officials to approve the building of a massive church building in a strictly residential area. What the bridge will do is to help reduce a problem caused by deeper life in the first instance. Those of us that live in the area are actually dreading the day the church will be opened as that will signal the beginning of heavy traffic in our area and will constitute a big nuisance to us.

Why is this not trending.
Ever since I read of the strange project,I sensed something was amiss. Since when did churches engage in public works?

If indeed the construction was procured by force,and in response to Kumuyi’s circumventing construction laws then he is just paying for his sins!


If you don’t mind, could you please share documentation of your petition to Fashola?

At op deeper depeer will skin you alive today...

They didn't publicized it either what is your problem

The bridge would not have been needed if they didn't build their car park there.

By asking the governor to come and commission it in a public ceremony, they did publicise it. Worse still some of their members are giving the impression that it is a benevolent act.

The massive church building they illegally built in a residential area will constitute a nuisance to me and other residents for years to come when ever they hold their service so I have a right to be aggrieved.

Yes they did indirectly. They invited the governor knowing fully well that the media will come with him.
