JUne 14, (THEWILL) – The General Overseer of Omega Power Ministries (OPM), Chibuzor Chinyere, and Happie Boys are at loggerheads over an aborted Cyrus scholarship.
Happie Boys are a two-man team of private security workers, who gained attention for their content creation.
The boys were, however, fired from their jobs at an eatery in Aba, Abia State, for dancing while on duty.
Following their dismissal, Happie Boys were granted a scholarship by Chinyere to study in Cyprus.
While in school, the clergy stopped the scholarship and appealed to them to give him a few months, which they did.
But, after waiting for months without receiving any further help from him, they got in touch with him again to discuss their plight but got no response.
Out of frustration, they had a live chat with their fans where they shared their plights.
In the chat, they revealed that they have dropped out of school as their scholarship was discontinued.
They claimed the pastor sends people on scholarships that are later discontinued.
The conversation they had with their fans leaked and the founder of OPM had to respond to their outburst.
Chinyere said he used church offerings and tithes to sponsor the boys and cursed them for being ungrateful for all he did for them.
Happie Boy also took to social media on Tuesday, to share their side of the story. According to them, they had reached out to the pastor for support but he kept asking them to wait for several months.
They further revealed that all other beneficiaries of the pastor’s scholarship scheme had dropped out except for those who came from wealthy backgrounds.
They said they were forced to undertake menial jobs in order to survive, which was why they had a live chat with their fans about their plight.
“Everyone on the scholarship dropped out while some, who came from rich houses, continued schooling. This is 9 months now we have been surviving by ourselves, doing so many dirty jobs to get money.
“Most nights we slept on the streets in cold weather while sending him proof – videos and texts – without getting any human sympathy from him who sent us here!
“We waited and can’t keep this to ourselves anymore,” they stated.
