Primate Elijah Ayodele, the leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has stated that Nigeria has no cause to celebrate its 64th anniversary of independence because the nation hasn’t accomplished anything noteworthy in recent memory that merits recognition.
Thank you for visiting The Vestigator, don't forget to share!
Primate Ayodele said in his independence letter to Nigerians that he hasn’t noticed anything particularly noteworthy about the nation’s 64th year of independence because it is still far behind in terms of development, human capital, and leadership, to name a few.
The prophet called Nigeria’s democracy a failure, stating that the country’s independence is really more like a form of slavery for its citizens and that the kind of people who have become its leaders are progressively turning Nigeria into a hopeless state.
Sincerely, I haven’t noticed anything particularly noteworthy in Nigeria at 64 because the government isn’t making any significant progress towards fulfilling its obligations. Everything is at a halt when it comes to human capital, but the judiciary is a different story. Even at 64 years old, there are still things that we can’t be proud of.
We no longer have a democracy; instead, we have a democracy marked by hardship, famine, enslavement, and failure. Voters in Nigeria have chosen leaders that lack morality. Despite our prayers, it doesn’t seem like our country will improve. Primate Ayodele revealed during his speech on the current administration that it is bewildered and unafraid of God.
In order to give the populace new hope, he also urged the government to take seven actions. The current administration is bewildered; they don’t fear God and don’t know why they are in power. Nigeria at 64 is hardly cause for celebration.
To restore optimism, the administration should implement seven measures: steady electricity, educational reforms, restructuring, judicial reforms, economic reforms, security, and a comprehensive review of our petroleum ministry.
Primate Ayodele went on to explain that a serious government in charge of a 64-year-old nation would not tolerate mediocrity and would fire any unprofessional ministers or appointees. He scowled at the head of the EFCC for not apprehending Yahaya Bello, the former governor of Kogi state, but for moving swiftly to target common Nigerians who had committed far less serious crimes than Bello.
“A serious government in charge of a 64-year-old country would fire those involved in the oil industry, such as the Minister of Petroleum, Mele Kyari, the General Manager of NNPC, and others.”
The President ought to remove the chiefs of our underperforming ministries. Yahaya Bello has been pursued by the EFCC for months, but to no avail. If Yahaya Bello were a regular Nigerian, they would have been taken into custody and put on display. The president needs to take action since it seems like the EFCC chairman is incompetent. If he doesn’t, we will continue to support corruption.
Primate Ayodele attacked the national assembly in a similar spirit for failing to make efforts to bring about the success of the nation. Generally, he said that leaders of the country had to reflect on what has happened and what should be done instead of celebrating independence at 64.
The national assembly has also failed, and instead of improving and enhancing worker welfare, President Tinubu is merely coming there to unwind. Our industries are struggling, particularly communications; at 64, we have nothing to be happy about and should take stock of our accomplishments to date. It is a period for serious introspection.
A sack of rice is no longer affordable, and there is hunger throughout the country. A rich land has failed in agriculture at 64. Naturally, the outcome of our vote will be incorrect since we selected the incorrect option. It’s 64 years of failure, unhappiness, and lack of accomplishment.
Primate Ayodele also voiced dissatisfaction with the religious community, particularly with Christian leaders who have a penchant for covering up the real circumstances by saying “everything is well.” All pastors have been compromised, the prophet said, and today all they do is fashion.
All of the pastors have failed, as has the religious establishment. We’ve been duped, and all we can say is that everything is fine, but it’s not. All we have are fashion preachers who never say anything other than “Everything is well” when they should.
