Social media comes for pastor over high school fees

Bishop Oyedepo basically warned people to stop criticising the school's high tuition, said to be N799,500, per session because the fees have God's approval.

“The school fees has God’s approval and is in accordance with the quality of facilities provided by the university in meeting the educational needs of the nation,” he said.

As expected, social media has come for the popular pastor, including Daddy Freeze.

The OAP said, "Dear Pastor, Please show me where in the bible God spoke of school fees, let alone ordained or 'approved' the price..... Dear Nigerian sheep, follow the shepherd, not the butcher...."

Here is what people are saying.

"Why do we refuse to use our God-given brain. God is more concerned about helping the poor and the needy not multiplying their sorrow or live at their expense. Do you read your own Bible from down up or upside down? How many universities built by church is affordable for the majority that contributed to build the same universities? It's even as if the attention of the church has been shifted from winning souls to building businesses that will generate more money. The more the money, the more we believe that that is the kind of church that God lives. Any church preaching holiness and righteousness always have scanty members. Well, it is well.."

"Just like I said earlier......Religion is one of the most powerful tools to use for enslaving our minds and souls, because it manipulates us to think that we are weak and powerless and need to rely on Man of God to save us. This causes us to think like slaves, making us easier to be controlled and enslaved."

"I can't help but laugh"

"so much my ears ve heard, God alone knows the true worshippers"

"He's a con artist nothing more . Most Nigerians are gullible . With people like me , he won't have a dime in his account . I don't even know why Nigerians think God is only there for we alone . Any small thing , God is quickly drag into it .I say it again , people in Singapore , Hong Kong , Finland don't even know what religion is , they are thriving . There so many billionaires there . They don't pay the fu*k u call tithe . IDxtra will do a program on oyedepo soon"

"The things pastors do in that country called Nigeria though. SMH"

"How on earth is school fee become God ordained"

However, there are a few people, who still support Bishop Oyedepo, school and the church.

Here are their comments.

"Are you a member of winners chapel? Do you pay ur tithe n offering in winners chapel? Did anyone force u to go to covenant University? If ur answer is No, then shut up, don't carry what u don't know. Members of winners chapel are sowing seeds n reaping the harvest joyfully, gaining greater Heights on daily basis. they ve never complained abt their offerings. Keep quiet. Go ask ur own pastor to start up a nursery school n make it free of charge. #badbelle"

"I ask again, is ur money in it? Did any member ask u to speak on their behalf? U just troubling ur self over nothing. Take a chill pill already. Haba"
