Greed, Bane of Nigeria’s Development—Lagos Prophet

Greed, unrighteousness, corruption and covetousness among the political class and Nigerians in general have been identified as the bane of the country’s development and these must be cured, if the nation is to make headway.

Revd./Prophet Oladipupo Funmilade-Joel, the Presiding Overseer of The Way of Reconciliation Evangelistic Ministries (TWOREM) Int’l a.k.a Prophetic & Solution Chapel, Lagos, Nigeria, stated this in a statement, consequent upon the rate of corruption, and societal problems confronting the nation.

Baba Sekunderin, as the cleric is popularly known, called on President Muhammadu Buhari – led Federal Government to map out people’s friendly policies for equitable distribution of wealth and grassroots development with emphasis on agriculture – (by diversifying the economy from oil sector).

Prophet Funmilade – Joel who decried the non-chalant attitude of Christians and Nigerians,as regards the nation’s polity and the society at large, condemned hypocrisy, which he said is not good for Christians, noting that God’s judgment awaits everyone on the last day.

Baba Sekunderin further tasked religious leaders to always strengthen the faithful and also search for the indifferent and weak souls and preach the word of God with vigour and dedication in accordance with the ways of God as well as uphold the truth of the gospel at all times by guiding against error.

According to the cleric, “Nigerians irrespective of their faith, should not relent in praying for Nigeria, for the peace and progress of the nation, good governance, and God-fearing leaders and followers, for prayer changes things as the altar of prayer is the altar of change.”
