Pastor Enenche Blames Poor Leadership for Nigeria’s Struggles
Dr. Paul Enenche, Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Center (DIGC), has attributed the economic struggles and other pressing challenges in Nigeria to inadequate leadership.
During a live service held on Tuesday to commemorate the nation’s 64th Independence Day, he emphasized that Nigeria is one of the most blessed nations on the planet.
He highlighted the country’s abundant natural resources, which, if properly managed, could significantly improve the quality of life for its citizens.
However, Enenche expressed disappointment over the failure of various leadership levels to address the nation’s needs, suggesting that leaders are indifferent to the welfare of the people.
In a passionate call for divine intervention, Pastor Enenche led the congregation in prayers, asking God to restore the nation’s lost glory.
He asserted that Nigeria’s potential is evident, with its citizens excelling in various fields around the world.
“In every field—whether it’s science, technology, medicine, IT, or the arts—Nigerians are competing and thriving globally,” he said.
He further emphasized that Nigeria has the necessary resources, including valuable minerals like gold, to thrive without struggling for basic infrastructure like electricity.
Enenche questioned the cause of Nigeria’s persistent problems, especially the widespread poverty, and urged the citizens not to lose hope.
He voiced his frustration with the current state of affairs, wondering why such a resource-rich nation still faces so many hardships.
Enenche shared a personal prayer, asking for God’s favourite nation, saying, “Lord, You have placed immense resources in this country.
Let the people of this nation experience Your blessings in their lifetime before the return of Christ.”
He reiterated that Nigeria’s citizens should be reaping the benefits of the nation’s natural wealth, stressing that prosperity could reach everyone, and there would still be room for more success.
The pastor’s message resonated with many as he called for unity and faith in the potential of Nigeria, urging citizens to remain hopeful for a brighter future where everyone can enjoy the blessings that are rightfully theirs.
APC chieftain Joe Igbokwe has pointed fingers at Nigerian traders for the continued surge in food prices across the country. In a Facebook post on Saturday, the outspoken supporter of President Bola Tinubu’s administration accused traders of being too greedy to reduce their prices.
He added that even as statistics suggest that the cost of food is starting to drop, traders have refused to comply. Furthermore, he expressed frustration, saying the refusal to lower prices shows a deeper problem of selfishness among citizens. According to him, Nigerians are their own worst enemies, driven by greed and a habit of taking more than they need.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to travel to Rome this Saturday to attend the inauguration of Pope Leo XIV, the new leader of the Roman Catholic Church. The invitation came directly from Pope Leo XIV, who emphasized the importance of the president’s presence during this significant moment for the Church and a world facing many challenges.
Pope Leo XIV, formerly Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, will be officially installed as the 267th Bishop of Rome on Sunday, May 18, at St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican.
President Tinubu will be accompanied by key Catholic figures, including the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Archbishop Lucius Ugorji of Owerri, Archbishop Ignatius Kaigama of Abuja, Archbishop Alfred Martins of Lagos, and Bishop Mathew Hassan Kukah of Sokoto.
Notably, Pope Leo XIV has a special connection to Nigeria, having worked at the Apostolic Nunciature in Lagos during the 1980s. After the ceremony, President Tinubu is expected to return to Abuja on Tuesday, May 20.
Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has urged Nigerians to preserve their culture and ensure it doesn’t fade away with time. Speaking through his deputy, Barrister Adebayo Lawal, at the 2025 World Egungun Festival grand finale held in Ibadan, Makinde emphasized the importance of keeping traditions alive.
The event took place at Obafemi Awolowo Stadium in the Oke Ado area and was graced by top dignitaries including Chief Lekan Alabi, who represented the Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Ladoja, Osun State’s Commissioner for Culture and Tourism, Hon. Ojo Abiodun, Prince Adeola Adelakun of Oje Parapo Worldwide, and Oyo State’s own Commissioner for Culture and Tourism, Dr. Wasiu Olatunbosun.
Makinde stressed that culture and tourism are key focus areas for his administration, and his government is committed to supporting efforts that will keep local traditions thriving. He added that by investing in cultural events and heritage, the state can boost its economy through tourism and increase revenue. He said, “We must not let our culture die. I’m glad to see young people taking part in this celebration, not just the elders.”
