World-famous preacher, Bishop David Oyedepo of Living Faith Church Worldwide a.k.a Winner Chapel International has been attacked by Nigeria Feminist Forum (NFF) over his statement.
Recall that Oyedepo during his sermon recently admonished women against joining the feminist movement, saying that feminism would lead to frustration and devastation.
However, NFF in a statement on Thursday, August 12, 2021 by its Communications Officer, Angela Nkwo, said; “Oyedepo is advised to focus on suggesting solutions on how the challenges confronting Nigeria can be subdued.”
“Casting huge aspersions on being a woman, its definition and expectations therein when he advised women against joining the feminist movement because it leads to frustration and devastation; contrary to the claims spread by people, feminism is about demanding gender equity, justice and access to equal resources for everyone, which will benefit families, communities and the wider society as a whole.”
“The cleric’s comments justified the notion that women do not lead branches of the church popularly called Winners chapel, this condemnable as women form a followership of the congregation.”
“We need to ask the eminent cleric, did feminists and the coalition’s cause the unproductivity of his pastors, or the insecurity and high inflation that have enveloped the nation?”
