Bishop David Oyedepo Founder of Living Faith Church Celebrates 71st Birthday
Bishop David Olaniyi Oyedepo, founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, marks his 71st birthday, and tributes are pouring in from across Nigeria and beyond. Born on September 27, 1954, in Osogbo, with roots in Omu-Aran, Kwara State, Oyedepo has grown into one of Africa’s most influential Christian leaders. He is widely respected for his teachings, philanthropy, and contributions to education.
Raised in a family with both Muslim and Christian backgrounds, he found his path to Christianity at the age of 15. He later studied architecture at Kwara State Polytechnic before answering what he describes as a divine call in 1981. That vision led him to start what would become the Living Faith Church, popularly known as Winners’ Chapel, which has since grown into a global ministry with branches in many parts of the world.
Beyond the pulpit, Oyedepo has invested heavily in education. He established Covenant University and Landmark University, both of which rank among Nigeria’s leading private institutions. Through Dominion Publishing House, his books and teachings have reached millions across the world.
President Bola Tinubu joined many others in celebrating the cleric. He describes him as a man whose work in ministry, education, and humanitarian service continues to touch lives across the nation.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
