(Opinion) Bishop Oyedepo Employs 10,000 Pastors Into Winners Chapel New Churches Planted This Year, What This Means To Nigeria

It is no more news that the Living Faith Church also known as Winners Chapel Worldwide, has employed about ten thousand, two hundred pastors into the payroll of the commission.

The pastors have been deployed to their various stations across the 36 states of Nigeria, fully mobilised, in terms of payment, accommodation and stricture.

After thinking of the over 200 million worth of alcohol destroyed in Northern Nigeria. I began to think about the negative impact of imported religion in Northern Nigeria.

Whichever way you see it, the south is still benefiting from Religion. The religious centers in the south have no direct hold on the political structure of the south but still benefits the people both directly or indirectly through tourism, job creation, education and even healthcare services.

Imagine, over 30 private varsities in Nigeria were birthed by Churches. They are not free but generate jobs and lessen burden on govt universities.

UBA has 12000 staff. Imagine a church recruiting 10,200 Pastors who would be paid monthly irregardless of the income generated from these branches. That would touch at least an extended 50,000 people in their families.

I have a friend who had no job for a while now and has been employed by the church as a pastor. Being paid for doing what he loves. Congrats to all of them
