The last child of the founder of Winners General Overseer, Bishop David Oyedepo, has stirred up controversies on social media after she posted a photo of herself which she tagged ‘crazy’.

In a social media post tagged ‘CRAZY’, Joyce Oyedepo, the last child of Bishop David Oyedepo, the General Overseer of Winners Chapel, has stirred up controversies and media reactions.

According to DailyPost, Joyce took to her Facebook page on Sunday, saying she tried as much as possible to be who she really is and the that post had since trailed mixed reactions on social media.

Below is what she wrote:-

“Those who know me know that I’m crazy. I don’t blend in. I’m the one who’s ‘yingin’ when everyone else is ‘yangin’. I’ve been called an outcast by many outsiders. But the more I tried to fit in, the more I stood out. My differences wouldn’t let me stay the same.

“Every day, I’ve come to let the differences that make me, shine through. Tired of the need to stay the same, I’ve come to accept the real me.

“I’m not the same. And as long as I stay rare, there’d always be a need for all of me. For there would always be room for rarity. I have decided not to let the miracle of my birth be the sole miracle of my existence. The proof, is in my crazy.

“I’ve received way too many personal messages about this post below and so for the honest few, I have chosen to make a few things clear. It seems that many of us have misunderstood things too easily.

“You all have seen my posts for a while now, some of you have seen them for years on end, and you know that I absolutely adore my family. That cannot, has not, and will not ever change. Anyone who tries to insinuate any different is purely looking for loopholes that just don’t exist.

“To that group, you may need to find more profitable work because that, already is a failed venture. Then, there is this other group that expects me to be EXACTLY like my mother or sister, who are role models to many including myself, especially myself.

“Thing is, you also may need to edit your expectation because that too, will not be happening. I’m me and will never be anyone else. I can never be anyone else and will not even try to.

“I love that my sister and I are not walking replicas of my mother. She teaches us not to be. She teaches that we are who God has called us to be, and that, with all sincerity. Our differences make us unique, and that makes us an epic loving family. That, we are grateful to God for.

“Ps, “crazy” purely means/meant different.

“This, you would understand if you read through the post honestly, completely and some of us, without negative intent. So, to those who honestly were confused on the original post, I hope you have received the needed clarity, but to those still looking for loopholes, sorry, failed venture.

“Be you. Be who God created you to be. Yes, have role models (& you always can start with my mother and sister–right here on Facebook even if you have nowhere else to turn).

“But don’t ever try to dim your uniqueness to fit in with the “world’s” definition of perfect. God bless y’all,” she added.
