Did Feminists Cause Unproductivity Of Your Pastors? — Feminist Group Slams Bishop Oyedepo Over Comments On Marriage

The Nigeria Feminist Forum has condemned a recent statement attributed to the founder of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo, on feminism and marriage.

The forum’s reaction is to Oyedepo's criticism of women who identified themselves as feminists as he advised them against getting married.

The clergyman, who gave the advice during a sermon to his congregation, specifically warned women against joining the feminist movement as he stated that feminism would lead to frustration and devastation.

But his disposition did not sit well with members of the feminist movement who asked him to explain if feminists in Nigeria were responsible for his disengaged “unproductive pastors.”

In a statement issued on Thursday, the NFF, through its Communications Officer, Angela Nkwo, said its members were not happy with Oyedepo’s view that the “Feminism movement leads to frustration and devastation.”

The group advised Oyedepo to focus on suggesting solutions to how the challenges confronting Nigeria could be subdued.

The statement read, “The Nigerian Feminist Forum (NFF) has condemned the comments credited to the celebrated cleric and founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo on feminism, saying he should proffer solutions to insecurity, inflation, amongst others confronting the nation.

“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, saying it is condemnable as women form a followership of the congregation."

The group queried if feminists were the cause of his disengaged Pastors who failed to meet their assigned targets by the church even as they maintained they were males, who did not advance feminist principles.

“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?” they queried.

Recall that some pastors of the church were sacked recently for allegedly not generating enough income for the church.

However, Oyedepo justified the sacking of the pastors, saying they were "unfruitful". He also debunked claims that the church was sourcing for income.

Mumu women. There can't be two captains in a ship. If you're not willing to submit then don't marry. It's very simple. From time immemorial, men are always men and women women. No matter how we continue to talk about this equality, we can't do the lots men do. Although, some of us are very brave and illustrious, this doesn't still equate us to be same level with men.There's no need talking about unproductivity of some of his employees. I believe also this unproductivity led to them being counselled out of the job.

Nwamaikpe and Slawomirr, what do you think about this?

Frustrated Feminist. Papa doesnt have time for needles. He has BIG things to think about.

Na small things dey make people vex these days.

This is getting interesting

2nd

Good!

See this frustrated prostitute
Set awon feminist gang my foot

true talk

Weak clapback. Would have been more sound if they counter oyedepo with verifiable biblical passage to drive home their points.
The truth is you feminist dont have business in marriage.
Feminist movement was for economic and political liberation for women.
As far as marriage is concerned there is no equality in marriage. You re only advised to love each other as spouses and be submissive to head of the house which is the man

Some hard saying, only few can take it.

The only downside to this thread is I narrowly missed out on the FTC spot.


But it's all good, we meuve by ordering Uber...

Instead of una to attack the message, una dey attack the messenger. You guys said you can't be under a man abi? Then don't get married na, stay single forever or marry each other. The point wey pain them pass na that "frustration and devastation" I can already see their frustration and devastion in this their reply

Mumu people... Them don leave the main talk deh enter another issue... Was he talking about his unproductive pastors here.?....

They are not even ashamed of showing there face, later they will flood Shiloh in the name of looking for husband.

The statement seems to come from a frustrated feminist

Some people are bitterly pained

jokers wey go still end up deceiving young n ignorant women with their feminism shi n end up collecting better knacking n getting married..

Talk is cheap.

Ndị mgbu.

Las Las, Dem go attend Shiloh 2026

Who still listens to Feminists? Maybe those who want to end up frustrated and devastated.

Oyedepo was right anyway. You cannot be a feminist and still be practicing Christianity. What both preaches are at variance to each other.

Simply put, if you’re a feminist, dont marry.

BRATISLAVA:


What is feminism, and what does it have to do with marriage?

Most men, even the pastor, don't seem to know what feminism is. It has nothing to do with the definition that Nigerian men have given it. He should stick to what he knows about. His wife could be a suppressed feminist even.

Feminism has everything to do with marriage. Maybe you should tell us the definition that Nigerian women have given feminism. We can take it up from there.

They're all crazy...
