Why Bishop Oyedepo Marked His 71st Birthday Quietly

Bishop David Oyedepo turned 71 on September 27, 2025, but chose not to roll out the drums.

“There was no special celebration, just a thanksgiving service and prayers because it wasn’t a landmark age,” an insider said.

Though he kept it low-key, the founder and presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide (Winners’ Chapel) was celebrated widely.

President Bola Tinubu joined others in honoring him, describing Oyedepo as “a towering figure of influence and impact in Nigeria, Africa, and beyond.”

By contrast, his 70th birthday was the talk of the town for weeks — marked by grand celebrations, distinguished guests, and lavish gifts.
