Freedom Of Worship Is No Longer A Right – Bishop Oyedepo

Published

on

Bishop David Oyedepo has again lashed out at the governments of Lagos and Ogun states over the continuous closure of churches.

The founder of the Living Faith Church International aka Winners’ Chapel in his sermon on Sunday, June 28, alleged that Lagos and Ogun have been inflicted with the anti-church virus rather than the coronavirus pandemic.

Oyedepo wondered why marketplaces where people no longer observe social distancing or hygiene will remain open while churches have not been allowed to reopen.

He said: “No hand-washing, no nothing. Everyone is in the market running over each other every day of the week and there is no outbreak from the market but perceived outbreak from the church. Prophets are God’s voices to the nations. Caution! Now, freedom of worship is no longer a constitutional right but now determined to buy some individuals. It is a hard thing to kick against the priest. This is no longer coronavirus in Lagos and Ogun. It is now the anti-church virus clean and clear.”

He also claimed that 10 members of his church testified to being healed from the disease in the last week. Oyedepo insisted that there would have been more testimonies if churches have been allowed to reopen.

He added: “Can anybody silence the church? Never! I have never heard of anybody that God healed in the market but people get healed in every church day and night, real tangible healing. We have recorded 114 coronavirus healing testimonies. We got 10 this week. And that is the place that is vulnerable, not the market.”

The Nigeria Postal Service (NIPOST) has said it is working on a close partnership with the Lagos State Government to boost e-commerce in the state.

The Postmaster-General/Chief Executive Officer of NIPOST, Ms. Tola Odeyemi stated this on Wednesday during a courtesy visit to the State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

According to her, a partnership with Lagos State would enable the Service to optimize last-mile delivery and ensure seamless connectivity within the city and across the nation.

“The e-commerce sector is rapidly expanding, and Lagos is at the forefront of this growth. Through enhanced postal and logistics services, we aim to support small businesses and individuals participating in e-commerce,” she stated.

While noting that one of her primary goals, as the Postmaster-General, is to foster strategic partnerships that would enhance the efficiency and relevance of NIPOST’s services in a rapidly evolving world, the NIPOST boss said:

“I see Lagos State as a critical partner in achieving this vision, given its status as the economic hub of Nigeria.”

Odeyemi said the courtesy visit to Governor Sanwo-Olu shows the importance of partnership in governance and service delivery, saying NIPOST is ready to collaborate with the Lagos State Government to drive innovation, boost economic development, and enhance public service delivery.

She also praised the Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration for several programs held in December that attracted many people in the diaspora to travel to Lagos for ‘Detty December.’

Speaking earlier, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu charged the Postmaster-General to challenge the status quo for a sustainable change for today and future needs.

He urged the Nigerian Postal Service to use technology as an enabler to enhance the ease of doing business in Lagos State and Nigeria.

The Governor also reiterated the commitment of the Lagos State Government to collaborate with the NIPOST office service centres to improve its physical spaces and enhance e-commerce as well as the movement and sales of goods.
“You and your team need to think outside of the box make a difference and revamp NIPOST. Don’t be shy about challenging the status quo.

“Don’t be shy about saying you want to change what you met because the people who created those things several years ago did what was obtainable then. If you want an organisation that will meet today’s and future needs, change is a reality,” Governor Sanwo-Olu advised the Postmaster-General.
