Oyedepo’s mansion: Omuaran is the Community Oyedepo hails from in
Kwara, North Central, Nigeria. This is Bishop’s residence inside
Landmark University, Omu Aran. The residence serves as his base when he
visits Landmark for Inaugural lectures, Convocation and Matriculation
addresses, when he comes to just preach and most likely during TTG etc.
He most likely generally stays here when visiting his community. It is
also important to note that Bishop visits his hometown very regularly
for various reasons and appears to be quite close to the past Olomu of
Omuaran – Oba Charles Ibitoye who joined his ancestors of recent.
Noteworthy is the fact that it was Oba Charles Ibitoye who convinced
Oyedepo to bring some colleges of Covenant University to Omu Aran.
Oyedepo agreed but later chose to bring a full fledged university to Omu
Aran. Today, Landmark University has over 400 Omu Aran indigenes
working the PPD of the University. There are also presumably hundreds
more working at the University farms. The Health Center in Landmark is
also very big and serves both the University and the community. My last
visit to Omu Aran had me talking to indigenes and they were all
unanimous in the fact that Oyedepo had contributed a lot to their
community. The house also probably serves as the base of other Members
of the Governing Council of the University.
