The Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church, also
known as Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, and the richest black woman in
the world, Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija, have counseled Nigerians against wasteful
spending on non-essential goods as a first way out of the current economic
recession.
The duo made the appeal during this year’s Daystar Christian Centre's Annual
Excellence in Leadership Conference, ELC, with the theme: “Maximize Your
Influence” at its corporate headquarters in Lagos.
Oyedepo lamented that complaint of poverty and inadequate
distribution of resources by the masses stemmed from poor governmental
management. He revealed that he disconnected his telephone for one month after
he received an outrageous bill from the defunct NITEL, noting that he was
amazed when he saw a newspaper publication which showed that Nigerians spent
billions of Naira monthly on telephone calls which he said was more than what
she spent on food.
Oyedepo said: “Responsibility is the price for greatness and
only those who stay focused on their task end up as front liners. Until you are
out of your comfort zone, you cannot make the greatest of impact. No
world-changer runs a normal schedule. No leader of worth, lives a normal
lifestyle.”
Corroborating the bishop’s assertion, the initiator of Rose of Sharon Foundation, Mrs. Alakija, argued that Nigerians were currently paying for the past misdeeds of people that had done evil in the country, stressing that Nigerians must now be ready to pay the price for true greatness.
