Pastor E.A. Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has articulated his views regarding the difficulties confronting Nigeria.
During the annual Holy Ghost Congress, he disclosed that his earlier remarks about the nation nearly resulted in significant repercussions for him.
Adeboye mentioned that his original comments, made at the Abuja Holy Ghost Service, generated considerable debate, leading him to refrain from reiterating them.
Nevertheless, he conveyed his apprehension regarding the nation’s condition, pondering whether Nigeria might be experiencing a curse.
He emphasized that, despite the country’s vast resources, it appears to be trailing behind other nations that possess fewer resources.
He said:
“I said something during the Abuja Holy Ghost Service which I am not going to repeat because I nearly got into trouble because of telling the truth.
“Certain things happened, at least in my nation Nigeria, that force you to wonder: Are we under a curse? There are nations that didn’t have all the resources we have, and yet, they seem to be doing better than we are doing. Hmmmm, let me leave that out.”
The cleric also spoke on the matter of private refineries in Nigeria, urging the populace to pray against the purported attempts by influential groups to obstruct their progress.
He conveyed his dissatisfaction regarding the substantial funds allocated for the maintenance of the nation’s four state-owned refineries, which continue to operate suboptimally.
Additionally, it is important to mention that Pastor Adeboye has previously communicated his prophecies for 2024, which encompass a message for Nigeria: “The wind is blowing,” suggesting that conditions may deteriorate before improvement occurs, and that hidden truths will come to light.
