The founder of Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo has come under heavy criticism after appointing his second son, Isaac as the national youth pastor, Youth Alive Fellowship (YAF).
The Youth Alive Fellowship (YAF) is the youth arm of the church.
It all began after the YAF, on Sunday via its official Facebook page, announced that the new youth pastor will take the youthful congregation to glorious heights.
You see, this announcement came some days after the Fountain of Life Bible Church unveiled Jimmy Odukoya as his father’s replacement.
This made it easy for Nigerians to connect the dots in Oyedepo’s case.
The Big Announcement
YAF posted: “On the behalf of the Youths of Living Faith Church Worldwide, we say a big welcome to our National Youth Pastor, Pastor Isaac Oyedepo, as he takes the Youth Alive Fellowship to the next levels of glory”.
The announcement, however, did not sit well with some Nigerians who took to the comment section of the page to question why the bishop’s son must occupy such position.
Family Business
According to many Nigerians, the church has become a family business and the bishop was merely preparing his son for the future.
Reacting to the appointment of Oyedepo’s son, a Facebook user, Chike Ogugwu wrote, “It’s his father’s business so, let him manage it well”.

Another user wrote: ”Family business, preparing him to take over. Papa, mama, pikin church, may God help us’.
Paul Waiyo, another social media user, described the appointment as a business decision, saying: “A Strategic Business Decision. Best way to go”.
Joseph Ogidiolu wrote: ”Family business enterprise that is based on family heritage”.
Christian Chukwudi said the young Isaac was being positioned by his father to take over from him some day.
He wrote: “Gradually Positioning him to take over from him someday”.
For Chibedu Edoga, ”family business is the best. Congratulations on your new promotion, every members of the family must be called by fire and by thunder”.
