Victor  Omoyele

Both the Federal  and state governments in Nigeria have been called upon to make the welfare of the citizens as priority.

The call was made by the  General overseer  of the Christ  Love Family  Ministry  (LOFAM), Aba-Layan, Akala Express Way Ibadan, Oyo State capital,  Prophet Victor  Omoyele, during the Christmas caroll service of  the church, where youths  gathered  to celebrate and  rendered songs.

 

He said that Nigerian leaders should now concentrate on nation building and empowerments of the youths  who are the tomorrow of the country.

 

He lamented the  rate of crimes  and other vices in the country which he said have dented the image of Nigeria in the eyes of other countries  of the world,  despite the fact that the country, is called the  giant of Africa.

 

He pointed out that  any nation that shuns  the welfare of its people and abandoned the future and empowerment  of the youths, would be in great danger, and instead of building great  men, it would be breeding  criminals.

Prophet Omoyele argued that, Nigeria has every thing at its disposal,  to build up great men  which in future could  make it greater than what it is, at the moment.

 

He said that  those at the helms of affairs in Nigeria should  not be self centered  and shun corrupt practices and embrace  good governance, that would make Nigerians have confidence  in them and which would encourage the youths, to have sense of belonging that would make them proud, that they have a country.

 

He further argued that lack of adequate  planning  by  Nigerian leaders, has been the bane of   the country and encouraging the brain drain,  ” being experinced in Nigeria today”.

 

“As far as i am concerned,   Nigeria is designed by God to be great but  lack of good planning,  bad leaderships over the years and high level corruption  everywhere, brought the country  to its present situation and it is not too late for us to have a rethink and as well chat a new course.”

 

“Nigeria is a  country  well blessed in many ways both mineral, and human resources, but it is disheartened  that we allow all these potentials to waste away, due to lack of proper planning for our future. If those countries  where our  youths are running to for greener pastures are not properly planned with enabling facilities,  that have made them great,  they would have no where to run to.

“I believed  that  Nigeria could still be governed  in a way that would bring out all its potentials that would make people all over the world to come here for their greener pastures  as well.”

 

He pointed out that even  with the present situation  of Nigeria,  “foreigners  here, who tap into  our potentials are prospering while we the owner of the potentials  are wallowing  in poverty”.

 

This trend,  according to Prophet  Omoyele,  must be changed.

 

He said, “we should be the beneficiaries  of our God given  resources and potentials  and not outsiders and that is why we have to start  thinking of empowering  our youths who are very smart and full of ideas, especially, these days of the world’s technological  know how, which they are not  found wanting  and well endowed,  to compete with their counterparts anywhere in the world but all they need is encouragement and support from the government, that should provide the facilities needed to compete favourably.”

He also  said that what the country  needs now is  good atmospheres  that would encourage industrialization,  which would also enable foreign investors to come to Nigeria as well as Nigerians  with the capacity to invest  heavily, without any fear of molestations.  “Because if the youths are gainfully empowered with jobs on their hands, their minds would be free  from crimes.”

 

The prophet advised that what could ease the present food scarcity in Nigeria is for the State governments, especially, those in the South West,  to  start  investing heavily in agriculture.

 

“If people get food to eat poverty would be reduced and agriculture  as far as i am concerned  is an avenue to provide mass employments for the people.”

 

He lamented  the recent incidents that occured in Ibadan, Abuja and the Eastern part of Nigeria. saying  “it has never been this worse for Nigerians to rush after  stipends especially food stuffs but because there is hunger in the  land,  people have no choice than  to rush to where they would get succor”

 

According to Prophet Omoyele,  “there is  nothing bad in what  those I will call good samaritans did to help the people but  to guide future occurence,  there should be proper and adequate planning, while the security agencies should be invited to moderate the events.
