    David Oyedepo is not Buhari who brought hardship to Nigeria – Omokri

    Social media influencer Reno Omokri has criticised Nigerians who berated the members of Living Faith Church for gifting Bishop David Oyedepo a Rolls Royce car.

    Oyedepo, who turned 70 on Friday, was gifted a Rolls Royce car by his members, a gesture that attracted backlash from Nigerians.

    While many Nigerians opined that the money used in buying the Bishop the Rolls Royce should have been used to fend for the poor in society, Omokri argued that the Living Faith Church general overseer deserved the gift.

    Omokri stated that former president Muhammadu Buhari should be held responsible for the widespread poverty in the country at the moment, and as such, the idea of buying the clergy a luxury car is well deserved.

    Alluding to the alabaster box of ointment which Mary, the sister of Martha, bought for Jesus, the former presidential aide, in a statement on X on Sunday, argued, ”People who complain that members of Living Faith Church are insensitive for buying Bishop Oyedepo a pair of Rolls Royce vehicles as a birthday present during these harsh economic times would have also criticised Yeshua (Jesus) for accepting the alabaster box of ointment that Mariam (Mary), the sister of Martha, bought for Him.”

    However, he adds, ”But what was Yeshua’s response when Yehudah Scariota (Judas Iscariot) criticised Mary and called for the perfume to be sold and the proceeds given to the poor?’

    “The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me.’ Matthew 26:11.”

    The former aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan also urged those against the car gift to use their resources to fend for the poor.

    ”If you feel so strongly about people experiencing poverty, then spend your money on feeding, housing, and educating them.

    ”For your information, Bishop David Oyedepo, through Living Faith Church Worldwide, has a welfare budget for the poor that is larger than the social security budget of any state in Nigeria, except Lagos State.

    ”Oyedepo is not the past administration that brought us to this state. He deserves even more Rolls Royces,” he added.
