The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, has expressed deep concern over the state of Nigeria, stating that some events in the country often make one wonder if it is under a curse.
He made this remark during the ongoing annual Holy Ghost Congress themed ‘Onward Christian Soldiers’ at the Redemption City along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
Pastor Adeboye referenced a statement he made weeks ago during the church’s Abuja Special Holy Ghost Service, where he had called on Nigerians to pray for divine intervention against what he described as powerful cabals allegedly working to prevent the success of private refineries in Nigeria. He lamented the waste of billions of naira on the country’s four refineries, which have not yielded significant results.
“I said something during the Abuja Holy Ghost Service which I am not going to repeat because I nearly got into trouble for telling the truth,” Pastor Adeboye said. He added, “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 statement has sparked widespread discussions, with many reflecting on the challenges Nigeria faces despite its vast resources. Pastor Adeboye’s comments are seen as a call for introspection and national prayer for divine guidance.
