Twenty five years of stable democracy in Nigeria, what’s your view?
Any journey starting with God will end well. I can say now clearly to the Glory of God that no matter the race, no matter who you are, everybody is now coming to a point of realising that there is God because they can see His finger in all things that are happening which beats science records and cannot be defined.…CONTINUE READING
Any journey that starts with God will surely end well. The problem is the inability of the people to come to the realisation of knowing God and that’s why they kill other people in the name of rituals, faking and deceiving people. Now that the hearts of people are opening towards God, I can say boldly that by the special Grace of God, we are going to end well. Nigeria will end well because God said it and the spoken word of God is very special because it can never go in vain. God told me Nigeria is number one in Africa and that Nigeria is a force to be reckoned with.
No matter what is happening presently in this country, God told me, Nigeria is number one in Africa, in agriculture, financially and in all things, and we are going to be number one. We shall become a hub center commercially. God has a very great plan for Nigeria, and we are going to end well no matter what is happening presently in the country.
There has been clamour for restructuring, what is your take on this?
Restructuring is good, but the number one utmost thing that we must do is to love one another. To have one nation and to ensure unity in our diversity, there must be love for another. When we have love for one another, we will shun tribalism and exist as one nation. The truth is that without love, restructuring this nation will not work.
We should unite ourselves in love, imagine when Nigeria is playing football, we come together to watch, just as football unites us together.
Moreover, we should love and pray for this country above selfish interests, tribes, and sentiments. Americans will always say God bless America, let’s speak positivity into his country, I can assure you all will be well.
Let’s stop cursing this nation Nigeria because of frustration and hatred. If we allow love to unite us, restructuring will work easily. Let’s harmonise and come together in love for a greater purpose, and let’s pursue a common goal.
What’s the way forward? What are the institutions that you think we need to strengthen?
Majorly, love is the key. We can achieve a lot with love. Also, we should shun tribalism and have a common goal to move Nigeria forward. When we strengthen all our institutions in love, everything will go on smoothly.
Are we truly democratized?
Yes, 25 years of stable democracy without military intervention is a testimony, if somebody had said so 25 years ago that Nigeria can still be practising stable democracy, one would have said no. Let me note that there is a future for us and we shall all get there in Jesus Christ mighty Name.
Myriads of problems bedeviling the country, many are of the opinion that poor leadership has been and is still our problem, what’s your view on this?
Political leaders? What about the voters, it takes two to tango; it is worrisome that people collect money from politicians before they vote in this country. Voters sell their consciences at will for a pittance. Our problem starts when we collect money from people to vote, believe me, the best candidate will emerge when we stop selling our conscience. If politicians spend billions of naira before they get into power, be very sure they will want to get it back by all means. We, the followers, the masses too should work on ourselves before pointing accusing fingers.
What’s your advice?
25 years of stable democracy, I am very happy this is happening while I’m alive. There is a brighter future for us all in this country. God told me Nigeria is number one in Africa and I believe in the word of God more than anything. Let’s all be rest assured, believing the word of God.
How would you assess President Tinubu-led administration, one year in office?
We give glory to God, if God was not with the President, Nigeria would have collapsed. There is a lot of evidence to show that God is with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Since God is with him, surprisingly you will see that things will turn around for good.
How has the church, Christ Miracles Church Mission (CMCM) helped in strengthening democracy?
By God’s Grace here at the Christ Miracles Church Mission (CMCM), we have been preaching, and we shall continue to preach the raw undiluted word of God, which is the truth. We tell members to live Godly and love everyone no matter the tribe, race, sex, or religion.
We teach people to be selfless and respect others, we tell people to obey laws and place the country’s Interest above selfish ambitions.
In respect of our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), CMCM gives scholarships to indigent students, and cash gifts to widows, the needy, and the less privileged no matter their religious affiliation.
In a bid to help youths fulfill God’s purpose for their destiny and to snatch them from myriads of ills bedeviling them in the present world, Christ Miracles Church Mission (CMCM) worldwide has given scholarships to over 100 indigent students who are members and non-members of the church.
We teach youths, young adults, and teenagers on developmental teachings, health seminars, skills acquisitions, career counseling, and mentoring as well as ICT training which featured among other things; how to stream church programmes , how to snap and edit pictures for social media page, live coverage of church services using phones and video camera, how to bring audio into live stream for online members, how to use Vmix to mix video images and also to display Bible verses, project information, and announcements, how to set up a Web Page as well as digital Evangelism
To ameliorate the sufferings of the masses likewise, CMCM constantly gives food items such as rice, beans, garri, yams, and other food gifts every service day in the church. We teach youths how to discover God’s purpose for their lives and work in it. It is a means of evangelism and mainly to capture the youths, teenagers, and young adults for Christ.
