Oyedepo and his diehard disciples

The Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Worldwide (Winners Chapel), Bishop David Oyedepo, undoubtedly, is the richest pastor in the world, with a networth estimated at $200 million (Over N85 billion).

His Church was founded on the 2nd of May, 1981 in Kaduna Nigeria before it was relocated to Lagos Nigeria where it went on to become one of the biggest Church structures in the World.

Oyedepo has raised many pastors who have gone to established their ministries in different parts of the country. Some of the pastors still hold allegiance to him and will do anything to salvage his pride even if it means hurting others to do so.

Three of Oyedepo’s diehard loyalists are billionaire and have at one time or the other boasted that the could do anything to defend him. These billionaire pastors are:

1. Pastor David Ibiyeomie

Pastor David Ibiyeomie is the founder of Salvation Ministries, with its headquarters in Port Harcourt Rivers State. He is a billionaire and he is not hiding it. He owns the biggest church in Rivers. He came out of Living Faith Church under the tutelage of Oyedepo. His tongue is like the poison of an asp when it comes to defending Oyedepo. To Ibiyeomie, Oyedepo can do no wrong.

When popular On-Air Personality (OAP), Daddy Freeze attacked Oyedepo, Ibiyeomie put him where he belonged. Daddy Freeze used to chew Oyedepo in his mouth, dropping venoms on him, until Ibiyeomie came to the scene.

In a video  he released, Ibiyeomie called Daddy Freeze a bastard and threatened to kill him for “insulting” Oyedepo.

“I can’t be alive and you insult my father. The day Daddy Freeze insults Oyedepo, I will deal with him and arrest him.

“You can’t have a father and insult a father. He also said ‘no right-thinking son will sit down and watch someone insult their father,” Ibiyeomie said.

At another time in July 2022, Ibiyeomie said he would not forgive anyone who insulted Oyedepo.

“I can tell you something: there are people you insult, I won’t forgive you. In human life, the first person you will insult that I won’t forgive you is Oyedepo.

“Insult me, insult my wife, I don’t care but if you take your mouth to touch my wife you are touching me. If you insult Oyedepo I will kill you; and that’s how God is. You know why? If Bishop Oyedepo was not alive my Christianity would have been nonsense.

“He made me love Christianity. Can you be alive and somebody is insulting your father? I will slap you; you are not born. Don’t you see how I tore that beast to pieces? I will tear you to pieces. I will fight you spiritually, fight you everywhere, fight you law court, till they send you to jail.

“When people fight you, fight them till they go down. God is jealous about you. If we the humans can be jealous about people, God is so jealous about you,” he said.
