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.

“You Can Still Have Subsidy Without Long Queues” — Rufai Oseni Speaks On Subsidy
TV anchor Rufai Oseni makes headlines as he speaks on fuel subsidy in Nigeria. He shared that Nigeria can have fuel subsidy without the long queues at filling stations.
“When we were still paying subsidies, there were no long queues. We were subsidising. So you can still have a subsidy regime going on, and there will be no long queues because production was close by. Dangote had it. That’s just it. That argument also falls flat.
“The biggest beneficiaries of subsidy are not Nigerians. They are crony capitalists that have big infrastructure, and they do contracts. They have been the biggest beneficiaries of the subsidy,” he said.
