- An observant man has pointed out an interesting observation about Bishop David Abioye's choice of name for his new church
- He compared it with that of Bishop David Oyedepo's church, Winners Chapel, where he retired months ago
- People who came across the man's observation marvelled and wondered how he noticed the similarities
Ugo Egbujo, a Nigerian man, has reacted to the choice of church name that Bishop Abioye unveiled during his first Sunday morning service on May 4.
The man said Bishop Abioye, who he claimed had said he won't start a church, first began what he called a roadside fellowship after he retired from Winners Chapel and has now blossomed into a church.

Bishop Abioye's church name observation
Living Faith Church Worldwide, popularly called Winners Chapel, is the name of the popular Pentecostal Christian church founded by Bishop Oyedepo and Ugo believes Bishop Abioye's ministry's name, Living Word Conquerors Global Assembly, suggests the preacher wants to trade in a similar line as his former boss.
Looking at both churches' names, Ugo said Bishop Abioye synthesised his new church name from Winners Chapel's real name. His Facebook post in part read:
"...His new church's name is.
"LIVING WORD CONQUERORS GLOBAL ASSEMBLY.
"Stay with me.
"His old church, from where he was retired before his time, is called.
"LIVING FAITH CHURCH WORLDWIDE INTERNATIONAL.
"AKA WINNERS CHAPEL.
"If you look at both names, you will see that Bishop Adeoye no send anybody again.
"So he decided to synthesize the new name from the old name.
"Living for Living.
"Word for Faith.
"Conquerors for Winners.
"Global Assembly for Worldwide International.
"I would love to be a fly in Bishop oyedepo's bedroom right now.
"Bishop Abioye, perhaps sending the name made it look like an offshoot of Winners said his church was an offshoot of the biblical commission."

Ugo's observation sparked mixed reactions on social media.

Opara Kingsley said:
"Another business center. Thieves. The Church Jesus Christ founded never at anytime ceased to exist. The Church of Christ/God has branches scattered all over the world, including your area.
"Catholic church, Anglican, Jewish, Pentecostal, Oyedepos, Daminas, Oyakilomes, all these are man-made business centers. They have earthly heads and earthly headquarter.
"Thieves nu!"
Ina Okopi-Agu said:
"Living for Living.
"Word for Faith.
"Conqueror for Winners"
"Dr Ugo Egbujo this one off me 🤣🤣🤣 how did you make that connection?"
Adeleke Edun said:
"On such an important day of inauguration, one would have expected to see his former boss and mentor to grace the occasion in the christ-like spirit of oneness and support for the work of God.
"His absence at such an important occasion casts doubts as to whether all is well between both of them."
Austin Agada said:
"May God bless his ministry.
"At least, he didn't pull out to start his own church. He was pushed out.
"One thing I admire so much about him was his loyalty to Papa. He was loyal to the core.
"Well, in business just like in politics, there is no permanent enemy and there is no permanent friend. The only thing that is permanent is interest.
"Kudos Bishop Abioye. More Grace. More Tithe. More Offerings."
Celestine M. Mmadueke said:
"People keep saying that Bishop Abioye said he won't start a church but he never said so. It was Bishop Thomas Aremu that said he won't start a church. Let's try and verify certain things before attributing statements to others. I wish him success as he plays his part in advancing God's kingdom via the Conquerors Assembly."
Massive attendance at Bishop Abioye's Service
Amid the reactions surrounding Bishop Abioye's new church, he shared a video of the first Sunday service he held. The clip showed a huge turnout.
After the Sunday service, the bishop made another post on Sunday, May 4, to thank every member who attended, as he awaited their attendance in the coming week.
