Oyedepo says he'll lay his bare hands on COVID-19 patients and breath into them if they’re brought to him

By

Oydepo says he'll embrace COVID-19 patients because he carries eternal life.

Bishop David Oyedepo, founder of the Living Faith Chapel better known as Winners says if COVID-19 patients are brought to him for prayers, he’ll lay his bare hands on them and breath into them.

The Pastor reportedly said this during his church programme on Saturday, August 29, 2020.

During the broadcast, Oyedepo said, “Can you imagine anyone bringing a coronavirus patient to me and I won’t lay hands on him? Will I wear gloves to lay hands on them?

“I will lay hands on them; breathe into them; embrace them. What you carry is eternal life, it’s not human life. You should know that.”

This is not the first time Oyedepo’s statement regarding COVID-19 would stir controversy.

In June, the cleric claimed his church recorded 114 COVID-19 healing testimonies.

During the Coronavirus-enforced lockdown, which led to the closure of churches nationwide, Oyedepo said the governments of Lagos and Ogun state infected with an anti-church virus and not COVID-19.

Again, while condemning the safety precautions issued by the government to mitigate the spread of the virus, the cleric criticised people who wear nose masks and gloves to protect themselves from contracting the disease.

“You’ll now wear everything like a doctor, you have never been to a theatre in your life. You will be moving like somebody is under some attack. Someday, they will know that they have been deceived.

“They will all know that they have been grossly deceived,” he said expressing doubt in the virus and its preventive measures.

”You’ve covered your mouth: do you cover it when you want to eat or there is no coronavirus when you are eating? I just look at it and say, ‘what is all this?” Oyedeop said in a recent video.

Like Oyedepo, Chris Oyakhilome, the founder of Christ Embassy Church too has criticised the government and safety measures put in a place to address the spread of the virus in Nigeria.

ISRO shortlists 15 firms for transfer of EV battery tech This move could make EVs cheaper, since imported Li ion batteries constitute the big expense factor of EVs. Isro has shortlisted 15 firms to transfer the manufacturing technology of lithium-ion (Li ion) batteries for electric vehicles (EV). This move could make EVs cheaper, since imported Li ion batteries constitute the big expense factor of EVs. “We have communicated to the shortlisted firms that they will have to give a one-time fee of `1 crore. We have avoided firms with exposure to foreign equity in identifying the qualifying industrial houses or start-ups,” S Somanath, director, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), the rocket sciences node of ISRO, told FE. “The final move will depend on their response,” he said, declining to name the firms. As many as 141 companies had applied for request for qualifications (RFQs) in connection with the technology transfer. It was a small battery of 12 scientists in VSSC in Thiruvananth...

Sóller hike followed by a healthy vegan lunch

By
We got a group of friends together (of various ages and fitness levels) to hike around the hills surrounding the Mallorcan town of Sóller, in the northwest of the island. There are many quite easy trails but usually, it involves a bit of hiking up and downhill. We began our walk at the first roundabout after the tunnel and climbed for about 25 minutes uphill after that it was reasonably flat for the next hour or so. The final part was decent into the town of Sóller where we had booked a private vegan brunch for our group. Barbara and Martjin opened Ecocirer in March 2018 as a vegan hotel with 6 bedrooms in the town of Sóller. It is the ideal accommodation for a family celebration if you would like to enjoy healthy vegan food with plenty of activities to get you out into the beautiful nature surrounding the picturesque town. The expe...
