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.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.
She stated that Ghana is not the same as Nigeria and shared that if such issues happen to Ghanaians in South Africa, they will speak up and not keep quiet. She added that they will react.
“Ghana is not like Nigeria and we won’t hesitate to return the stupid favour.”
