Nigerians react as Oyedepo preaches from his vehicle
The video of Oyedepo has got Nigerians talking. Below are some of their reactions:
Giovanni Schube drew a parallel between Oyedepo and Nigerian international footballer Victor Osimhen:
"Just like saying Victor Osimhen, who plays for Galatasaray S.K., is always seen at Kemerburgaz Metin Oktay Facilities, which is the club's training ground. What extra thing has Osimhen done to be going to the training facility? What spectacular thing has Bishop done here?"
Chizzy009 questioned why Bishop Oyedepo could not come down from his vehicle while preaching to the people:
"Jesus Christ preached publicly without bodyguards, His Disciples preached without bodyguards. Oyedepo is seen preaching inside a bulletproof SUV with bodyguards surrounded; is he bigger than Jesus Christ?"

Abiodun defended Oyedepo's mode of preaching
"It doesn't matter if he's preaching from inside a car, after all, Jesus preached to a multitude from inside a canoe; all that truly matters is the sincerity of purpose and obedience to the command. May the good Lord continue to keep him strong in good health and sound mind."
MIV of Lagos said the Bishop should have come down from his vehicle:
"Make he come down from the car, make una see where to wound am, country when all of una dey craze, if is the country is well and sane, he would have come down freely, make una relax."
Abiodun criticised the cleric mode of preaching:
"Una dey craze for this app...na so them they preach gospel...for inside car....so he spent hours preaching inside that car....na so jehovah witness people they do am."
