Ajaokuta ‘ll soon bounce back - Adeboye

Johnson Babajide, Lokoja - 25.05.2009

The moribund Ajaokuta Steel Rolling Company, sited in Lokoja, Kogi State, received attention at the weekend, as the General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, visited the place.

The cleric, who made reference to the $5 billion steel company established during the second republic without attention from the Federal Government, said he would give the company a priority in his prayers.

Adeboye said this in Lokoja, when he visited the state governor, Alhaji Ibrahim Idris, assuring that the company would soon bounce back to life.

According to him, “I have just been briefed about the situation of Ajaokuta Steel Rolling Company in the state.

“Let me say that I am going to put it as a priority in my prayers and I am sure God will take control.”

He commended the state governor for his love and commitment to the growth and development of the state, while praying that his visit would mark a turning point in the history of the state.

Governor Idris eulo-gised the contributions of the cleric towards the development of the country and he described his visit, which coincided with the one-week seminar of bishops of Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), as a sign of divine visitation to the state.

Ijawman:

Is Adeboye looking for free spare parts for his aircraft? Someboby please tell him that air planes are made off of aluminum and not steel. His prayer will be a workless one because it is misdirected. He should instead be praying for spiritual intervention in Nigeria's overwhelming corruption (one of the reasons for Ajaokuta's moribund state), rather than this cheap publicity stunt. This one na ''ogbonge'' bishop.

GettysBurg:

What cheap publicity does Pastor Adeboye hope to derive from visiting poor kogi state? For a man with international acclaim, this is a ridiculous comment on your part.

With or without, he is currently Nigeria's greatest legend.

Men nigerians have been really brainwashed.

AjaraEwuro:

another stupid thread and comments.

romeo:

Thank God you commented and your comment is really stupid

hollandis:

This is unbecoming of a "man of God".What is the spiritual implication of the steel industry.These so called pastors don't know when it is time to draw a divide between the spiritual things and earthly things.

Ilelobola:

I don't really have any comments with regards Pastor Adeboye's prediction however earthly (physical) things are a confirmation of the spiritual. If Ajaokuta works, people are employed, they spend money , poverty is reduced, economy improves etc.

Ijawman, it may interest you to know that my own private jet is made of WOOD.  All that is required for it to break the bondage of gravity and fly is for the craft to be blessed by a competent practitioner of Jujumotive Aerodynamics, such as Pastor Eunuch.

Piloting my TimberJet4 Interceptor, I have been able to conduct many night-time sorties to deliver missiles and prayer bombs on the heads of infidels with pinpoint precision, before returning safely to base to reload and refuel in preparation for more viscous attacks.

To become the proud owner of a private jet made of steel or even gold, Ijawman, you must first take all your life savings and hand the bag over to Pastor Eunuch for blessing and safe keeping.  Then you must beg for His forgiveness and PAY for his prayers, borrowing that money from a suitable creditor.
