Bishop David Oyedepo, has come under fire from a section of Nigerians for making a declaration that Nigeria is moving forward despite the challenges facing the country.
The founder of the Living Faith Church (LFC), reportedly made the declaration in a telecast to the local and international assembly of the church workers recently.
The bishop also said the emergence of private tertiary institutions, championed by the church, has helped to right moral codes in the country’s educational system as well as help to eradicate cultism and activism.
But it appears the comments of Oyedepo who was close to the administration of Goodluck Jonathan, has attracted the fury of some Nigerians who have accused him of making empty promises not backed by the bible.
Others attacked the bishop for running a private university that many of his church members cannot afford to send their kids to Just imagine.
This is not the first time Bishop Oyedepo would be coming under fire over comments, recall that in the weeks leading to the 2015 general election there were allegations that the prominent cleric threatened to open the gate of hell on those opposing the former president Goodluck Jonathan.
The bishop however dismissed the allegations, saying his statement was never directed towards those opposing the Jonathan but those against Nigeria.
