According to Oyedepo, everyone is entirely responsible for their life outcomes, as responsibility is the price of greatness.
“Life begins with a vision, no one arrived at a future he or she does not prepare for. “It’s time to wake up and take responsibility early because commitment to one’s vision is what responsibility entails,” he said.
