Moved by the need to the spirited efforts of all in fighting the Covid-19 pandemic in the country, one of the most popularly churches in the world, Deeper Christian Life Ministry, has donated the sum of N50million to the Federal Government of Nigeria.

Our correspondent gathered that the donation was made recently by the church, as a way of lending to the Private Sector Coalition Against Covid-19 (CA Covid-19).

In a statement signed by the General Superintendent of the church, Pastor Williams Kumuyi, the revered clergyman, however, noted that the donation was aimed at ameliorating the sufferings occasioned by the scourge.

“The deeper Christian Life Ministry is delighted at and challenged by the massive efforts of the Federal Government and her agencies in curtailing the spread of Covid-19 and bringing relief to sufferers.

“The introduction of the private sector coalition against Covid-19 (CA Covid-19) to harness resources in combatting this global health crisis is also highly commendable.

“We wish to identify with this noble initiative and consequently have made a donation of N50,000,000 (fifty million naira) into your Central Bank , in of your campaign.

“We have a firm belief in God that He will answer our prayers and bring an end to the pandemic, sooner than expected. May God bless all your efforts,” Kumuyi said.

Recall that, only recently, the church donated relief materials in food items worth several millions of naira to the Ogun and Lagos State governments, in of the food bank initiative by the state, in the face of the lockdown.

And their don't have food at home during this quarantine

no ill feelings

Commendable....God bless Pastor Kumuyi.

Truth be told,all dx donations should be channeled directly to the individuals that need help in this perilous time rather than donating it to FG who will at the end of the day embezzle the whole funds

Why na? They should have just bought sanitizers and face mask with the money for onward distribution to the masses...now one politician will take the money as his share.

Considering the state n status of most Deeper lifers 've met It would have been very much wonderful if Deeper life had share the money amongst her

Trust me deeper life needs the money much more than the FG does

Okay ooo

This is good o
I commend the church o
But wont it be better if they donate directly to their
This will probably be looted

I smh

tyup:


it's so annoying why churches would give to FG whilst there are real lack amongst their

I call all this all thing scam

It will be better this General overseers us this money to buy food and distribute to their local churches. their need food and here they are donating to individual called FG to embezzle. All this new generation churches your are hungry better stop this show off games.

Good, waiting for freeze donations and his online worship centers...
freeze be like

I rarely see people accusing mosques of not donating the way they accuse churches.

Why not give it to your church ? Why FG?


It's time I give something to the FG too.

Why FG, why not give it directly by purchasing mask, Sanitizers ,food stuffs etc. People wey don already share the once wey Dem donate. the OAGF was set ablaze when everyone was observing lock down.
The government under Apc can't be trusted,their hands no de see money

i am not happy with this, the buhari led government will only used it to cater for the North east and North west. Waste of tithe and offering money. they should have used it to buy food for poor in the church throughout the nation. Don't give any thing to Muslim and Islam. None of them have contributed to covid-19 fund

Oloshi people, awon notice me geng.
I personally know two deeper life wey hunger wan finish but their yeye daddy go no share not even 1 milk cup of rice but them carry 50mil give kofament.

Let somebody request for my details

Hunger dey

Muslim's mosques should start contributing.. Not just calling us infidels

to do what ?

More blessings on the church of God.

On a low, these Churches are rich

seriously, this is a bad idea from the church, it would have been better to buy food with such money and distribute to their . I know a member of deeper life church who can't afford to feed his family because he is business man

Waiting for muric

Wtf!

The AGF office just got burnt up (Deliberately!) and you still donating to these corrupted niccas!

Do Deeper Life really think that this 50 milli they gave will exactly come out to the streets?

Can't they use that money to buy food items for every of their center to distribute to every of their and their communities?

Or even purchase face masks, sanitizers, disinfectants...

I mean c'mon mehn!

Kumuyi said OR THE SPOKESMAN WROTE

Journalism in Nigeria is Comical

Firstly, I appreciate the efforts of churches with regards to their huge donations to the FG. Thank God the virus arrived here late when the awareness was high and we believe that the virus is real unlike our American brothers. Secondly, thanks to the fact that most of those that has the virus have travel history to high risk area and there were late efforts in place to check them otherwise, if the virus can get to a person living in a face-face house, in congested Ajegunle, the rate it will spread will be alarming just like it spread among New Yorkers when they ignored the virus. See how people are dying like chicken.
I wish the lockdown should continue and govt should do more to the people not just giving them small rice. And lastly, let me call on those good spirited individuals to rise up and do something to their neighbours, I m against donations to the FG or state. If you want to donate to govt, donate to your LG. (imagine what will happen if someone donate 1b to a LG) better still, donate directly to your neighbours. I this applies to Religious bodies, this is the time to show the love you've bn preaching for centuries. Give to your that have challenges and let share among themselves. Together we shall win this battle

Why

After all the news of mismanagement of funds?why not donate to Christians in need that they see around them

This looks and sounds like show off to me

Corning from deeperlife I'm disappointed!

Shame on them.

Deeper life has the third largest congregation and just 50m is what they can give.

Some gifts are better not given.

Nigerians and our mentality.....the church gives we complain,they don't give we still complain.

Why not give it to your ? Oga kumuyi
