Chibuzor Chinyere, the general overseer of Omega Power Ministry (OPM), says he will restore the Happie Boys, the comedy duo, to a Nigerian scholarship.
Happie Boys are a two-man team of private security workers who gained attention for 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, the Happie Boys were granted scholarships by Chinyere to study in Cyprus.
But recently, the comedians raised the alarm that they were left stranded in Cyprus and had to drop out of school.
Sharing the conversations they had with their benefactor, the boys alleged that the scholarship was discontinued.
The matter left both parties at loggerheads, with the clergyman hurling expletive-laden commentaries at the duo.
In a recent post, the pastor explained that he stopped funding the scholarship due to Nigeria’s high exchange rate.
He said he communicated this to the parents of the scholarship recipients.
He said he also offered them the option to continue their studies either in Nigeria or in the Benin Republic.
Chinyere added that he has chosen to forgive the dancers for their outpour regarding him and his church.
“We all know the story of happy boys and how I intervened by sending them to Cyprus for studies,” the pastor said.
“Because of the Dollar rate, which became a heavy financial burden on me in paying school fees for over 4,000 persons on my scholarship programme, I stopped funding to wait and see if the dollar will come down.
“I also communicated to every parent and gave them options to return to Nigeria and continue their studies or to Benin Republic.
“Now Because of God and as a father, I have decided to forgive happy boys for whatever thing they posted against me and the church.
“I decided to restore their scholarship to continue in any university in Nigeria or University in the Benin Republic. I have instructed the matron who I employed to take care of them to arrange their ticket to return to Nigeria.”
