Happie Boys had their scholarship suspended due to the high dollar rate, which made it difficult for the church’s general overseer to pay their school fees.
Following this, the boys cried out online over hardship and also accused the pastor of placing a curse on them.
However, in an update, the pastor has said he has forgiven them and restored their scholarship to continue their studies at any university in Nigeria or the Benin Republic. The matron who cared for the boys was also instructed to arrange their return to Nigeria.
He wrote on his official Facebook page: “I am Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere, General Overseer of Omega Power Ministries (OPM). I feel humbled by the level of appreciation I received from well-meaning Nigerians for my good works in improving the lives of the less privileged in Nigeria. “We all know the story of happy boys and how I intervened by sending them to Cyprus for studies. I felt at their age what they need is education not to work as security. “Because of the Dollar rate, which became a heavy financial burden on me in paying school fees for over 4,000 persons on my scholarship program, I stopped funding to Wait and see if the dollar will come down. “I also communicated to every parent and gave them options either to return to Nigeria and continue their studies or to Benin Republic. Now Because of God and as a father, I have decided to forgive happy boys for whatever thing they Posted against me and the church. “On this note, I have decided to restore their scholarship to continue in any university in Nigeria or University in the Benin Republic. I have instructed the matron who I employed to take care of them to arrange their ticket to return to Nigeria.”
Nothing but selfishness
