More attention has been drawn to the ‘pastorpreneur’ Bishop Oyedepo, a
british media claimed that he now runs a church with a main aim of
‘cynical exploitation’. The british media
revealed that, after its British branch received £16.7 million in
donations from followers who were told that God would give them riches
in return, more attention has been drawn to his wealth building church.
Followers are ferried in double-decker shuttle buses to the church,
handed slips inviting them to make debit card payments, and are even
told obeying the ministry’s teachings will make them immune from
illness.
Yesterday’s Mail on Sunday revelations about the Winners’ Chapel
movement have prompted the Charity Commission to review the charitable
status of the church – one of the fastest-growing in the UK.
Winners’ Chapel is part of a worldwide empire of evangelical
ministries run by Nigeria’s wealthiest preacher David Oyedepo, who has
an estimated £93 million fortune, a fleet of private jets and a
Rolls-Royce Phantom.
The British authorities have been called upon to look critically well into the alleged exploitation.
Lets watch where this saga ends, it would be recalled that Oyedepo
had several cases early this year one of which was the slappping a lady
whom he claimed was a witch. It seems the British government and media
are not giving a slight chance for that on their soil
