A man, Andrea Ekeng Inyang, has sparked a conversation on social media after sharing a throwback picture which featured Bishop David Oyedepo and another of a Christian content creator, White Olasunkanmi Barry, popularly known as Son of The Prophet, who stopped mimicking the church founder.
In a Facebook post, Andrea stated that he had a lot of unanswered questions that he dared not ask in public after looking at both pictures.

His Facebook post read:
"Looking at this throw back picture of Bishop David Oyedepo and that of that comedian boy that mimics him, I am just left with a lot of unanswered questions that I dare not speak in the open."
The throwback picture showed a much younger Oyedepo in the company of other youths, including the now General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye.
The picture of the content creator, however, appeared recent. One thing was common in both pictures: the content creator slightly resembled the younger Oyedepo and had the same hairline as him.
Mixed reactions trailed Andrea's post.
Why content creator stopped mimicking Oyedepo
In 2024, Son of The Prophet announced that he would no longer mimic Oyedepo, a character he took on, which made him popular on TikTok.
In a sit-down with comedian Teju Babyface, the Christian content creator shared why he stopped mimicking the bishop.
“A lot of people sent in messages saying I was creating curses for myself. They would ask, ‘Did Bishop David Oyedepo really approve this?’ Some messages would just break me.”
He said some people even questioned his type of content.
"Some people even said, ‘Why can’t you create your own path?’ And I kept asking, what if this is my path?”

Oyedepo meets content creator who mimicked him
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Bishop David Oyedepo had met the content creator who stopped mimicking him.
Oyedepo, in a white suit, was flanked by men in suits and gave the content creator a listening ear when he approached him. The content creator went down on one knee as he humbly spoke with Oyedepo for some seconds.
Oyedepo had a welcoming countenance as he listened to the content creator before laying a hand on his forehead. The content creator released the video on TikTok as he celebrated his meeting with the respected cleric. His conversation with the cleric was inaudible in the clip.
