This is because he disclosed that folks who frequently complain that he forgets their birthdays are unaware that he forgets his own birthday.
In a lecture titled “Understanding The Fundamentals Of Success – The Force Of Deligence,” Oyedepo said this.bis
He was quoted by Church Gist, “Only hard workers emerge as high-flyers in the race of life. There is a young man by the name Isaac Newton, he was so busy in his laboratory at home that the wife set the food and called him. “I will be there in a moment”. He got so busy, he forgot. He came in to eat and saw that they have cleared the food to keep it warm, He said “oh! I forgot I have eaten”.
“People are so lazy today that food is uppermost. They sit down around food today as if it is their enthronement.
I remember one of my birthdays like that, I was already crossing Makurdi and writing a note in my diary when I realized that day was my birthday. So I called my wife that she didn’t remind me that today was my birthday and she also forgot.
“People have told me their birthday more than twenty times, but I can’t know all of that. My brain is limited to remember all. You say ‘How can you forget my birthday’ I say I forgot my own so what is your problem? Love your neighbour as yourself, if I can forget my own. I can forget your own.
“For lack of time, I can only do birthdays once in ten years. Any other one you are doing is your own. Since you are going to be alive don’t be in a hurry, when I am 70 come but don’t come again till when I am 80.
