The General Overseer of the Living Faith Bible Church, Bishop David Oyedepo has said the quit notice issued by Arewa youths asking Igbos to vacate the North on October 1 will not stand.
Addressing his members yesterday, Oyedepo said Nigeria would continue to remain an indivisible entity where everyone and all the ethnic nationalities would be free to live and achieve their purpose.
According to Oyedepo, “Freedom of worship and religion would continue to be the identity of the nation. The October 1 ultimatum will not stand. Nigeria will remain one entity where everyone would be able to live and work wherever they like.”
Describing the ultimatum by Arewa youth as mere manipulation to create unrest, which was not necessary, Oyedepo said, “We will keep on declaring the peace of God in this land. No one will succeed in bringing Nigeria to war, no group will succeed in bringing this nation to crisis.”
The clergyman noted that there would be no war in this nation, instead “freedom of religion and worship shall remain the identity of this country.”
He declared that Nigeria shall not go down “our economy shall recover, we will record quality in our education system. Nigeria will not be sold to slavery.”
Urging Nigerians to pray for the country, Oyedepo said, “It is time to engage the prayer altar for our beloved nation, because he that seek the peace of Jerusalem shall prosper.
“Nigeria will not go backward; it will keep going forward forever. Speak peace; pray peace, love peace and peace shall reign in our land. Every injustice will be flushed out of our land and equity shall rule our national life and be our national law.”

they so called pastors of Yoruba is protecting there business that is all, what have they say about the killings of Biafra people, well i believe in Biafra or Death
Gentlemen and Ladies, the fear of God, the Bible says, is the beginning of wisdom. That someone 's opinion is different from your own does not warrant your abuses, more so a Man of God, who deserves all respects irrespective of his human errors which God himself understands and accommodates. Freedom in use of the social media does not call for irrational or sinful utterances. Jesus taught that every man shall give account of every idle or irrational utterances. Just like many Israelites were punished by God in the wilderness, let's avoid using our tongues sinfully against anyone, more so anyone bearing the name of Jesus. Attack a problem not a person.
In the same way, I have often advised Biafrans youths to stop abusing their elders irrespective of their divergent opinions. Biafra, for me is a divine project, if God is acknowledged, then let's speak and behave like him so we don't provoke him. Those of us who go to Church and read the Bible should not join those in the dark to behave same way. Beyond Biafra, there is heaven to enter, and there is judgment to face. God help us.
With due respect to you my beloved fellow Minister, surely you have spoken your opinion, and it's your right, but you cannot be right to say that Nigeria with all the oppression and bloodshed of the innocent people and lack of freedom to worship God, God is already out to break Nigeria. The same God supported the separation of Abraham and Lot, Ishmael and Isaac, Israel from Egypt, etc etc and broke in pieces powerful Empires is out for Nigeria. You better understand the will of God and not your will. I believe very soon you will change your prayers to a peaceful break up of this incompatible nation of nations. God bless you.
We all need to be very careful with our utterances, Bishop Oyedepo is a man of God and due respect in that regard should be accorded him, that he does not share in your ideology does not make him deserve all this name calling... It seems you guys don't have regard for God... Hmmm... Careful my people!!!
I just can't read or figure out anything spiritual or wisdom from his rants than sheer selfishness clearly written all over his stupid utterances, yet few Biafrans still fall his cheap mugu. May God open your eyes quicker to see the fact he's more of a businessman than the acclaimed god of man.
You have said it all.
I totally agree. It's a pity that some don't understand.
My Papa just spoke, this agitation for Biafra must come and Biafra must be birthed. Pls papa, bless it or if possible ignore this matter. But for Biafra, we are here
Yoruba Pastor
PLS BIAFRANS, THIS MAN IS JUST PRAYING FOR HIS COUNTRY NIGERIA.HE NEVER MENTIONED BIAFRA.IF WE GO,NIGERIA WILL STILL REMAIN AS A COUNTRY COMPRISING OF ARIWA AND ODUDUWA.HAD IT BE HE THE HOLY NAME BIAFRA CAME OUT OF HIS MOUTH,I WOULD HAVE REPLIED OR CURSED HIM AND YAHWEH OF OUR ANCESTORS WILL SURELY VISIT CALAMITY ON HIM. HE KNOWS HIS LIMIT AND THAT IS WHY HE NEVER MENTIONED BIAFRA.
Obviously you don't av regard if not to man but to God.careful not to attract curses to your life and generation such that even if Biafra comes you may not be there to see it. Don't play with fire
This guy should no longer be addressed as man of GOD Rather as a man of Evil cos he is a 419er,a material lover and the thief of Faith Bible church ,The prophet of doom is afraid to lose his customers.How can we be one Nigeria impossible,we hate each other the wealth of the nation is not evenly distrbuted,The Northerners claims to be born to rule Yorubers play some cunny roles and u sit there taiking shit that Nigeria is indvisible,man of God my ass
I love u man, he's simply trying to protect his business and customers. How can s person that call himself god of man support evil of marginalization and unequal distribution of ourbcommon wealth?
I wonder why some of you will not have some little regard for men of God .wt so ever your name is lean how to speak you fool do you now who you are addressing in that manner.may god forgive you
Are u alright my brother, watch ur tongue
Now it is a crime for any one to believe in the oneness of this nation and also ask for prayer for it, this Biafra should agitators are becoming something else. Who ever doesn't go along with your line of thought suddenly become an enemy. Better get ready to make more o..... I have always believe that the agitators are justified for their stand and for the fight but to always come on social networks and rant and abuse everybody is not doing a just cause to their agitations.
