The Chancellor of Landmark University, Omu Aran, Kwara state, Bishop David Oyedepo, has challenged the present administration under President Muhammadu Buhari to be more sensitive to issues that affect ordinary nigerians saying that things have not been working well.

Oyedepo,also the founder of Living Faith Church worldwide,a.k.a Winners Chapel further described the socio-economic challenges in the nation as those borne out of systemic failure,adding that there is no point blaming any political party or individual for the current travails Nigeria is facing .

The clergyman cum academician spoke with journalists in Omu Aran at the fifth founder's day celebration of the private university he estaablished in Omu Aran,his country home.
According to him,"Our problem is a systemic problem not political or leadership problem and we must find solution to it. Nigeria will not go down the drain, we will proffer solution to it."
"The present administration should be more sensitive to issues that affect ordinary people, because things had not been working well."

He noted that,"Where we are today is not where we should be. The effect of the forex has a lot to do with small scale industries and that is where the bulk of Nigeria employment is."

"Anybody can make mistakes but if people in the authority are not sensitive to the cry of the people, we would keep making more mistakes. My understanding is that it is never late to be right. If a decision is made and we discovered it is not right we should do an informed review." he added.

Oyedepo also said, "What am saying is that things have not been working and we are all aware of it. There is no point pointing accusing finger. Each individuals in the country also have a lot to play to recover the dignity of our nation".

He however stressed that, "The challenges have been with us for many years, it didn't just happen now. Government should be sensitive on issue that affect everybody."
"We have been fighting over the issue of power for many decades now. Government should have its priority. They should itemise the fundamentals that can move Nigeria forward and commit to it. "He added.
He noted that,"We don't have to have the resources, if we have the platform for investors to come in because they are more in touch with the issues."

"Look at the present fuel problem. It used to be black market but now we have black stations and they have the right to sell at any price because they are private marketers but the government still need to come out and take a decision on it".

Oyedepo also said, "Solution should not be only thinking, we should go beyond thinking to reasoning, logical, rational and analytical reasoning by identifying the issues and proffer possible way out of the problem.

"Nigeria problems is all about cost effective solution that will come out of sound reasoning. Remember the people in government are from us. So, we are all in government since they are not foreigners. So each one of us has a role to play. Private bodies should be allowed in all other areas of the country just like we have in the education sector. "He stressed.

He further said that,"Nigerians need to take responsibility of our challenges and find solutions to them because we have nowhere else to go. We should not sit down and cast blames."

"We have to be committed in finding the solution and stop the blame game even though government has a major role to play, each one of us also has roles to play. People will not listen to a critique but a consult who are thinking value addition taught. We learn from other nations efforts in solving problems."he added.

Bishop Abeg help him or keep silent. You wanted to help Gej. The way this man is entering politics, he may soon forget where he is coming from. Anyway, its good just that his office demands that he is silent on some issues.

Now, if it takes Mr Buhari and the midget el Rufia to rattle our pastorpreneurs who sell spiritual blessings in exchange for forex they have my blessings to beam chains and yoke to all god of men in Nigeria.

I think for the first time my interest and that of Mr President aligns. Fire on my able president master Jesus will root for you and el rufia on this one.

And why is the news caption different from the storyline?

An attempt to pit the President against the Preacher?

We were more prepared for war after 2015 election than governance - Lia Muhammed

Why the dubious heading? He merely identified what every sound mind already knows. I like his use of words, simply advisory and nonpartisan.

Yes Sir, the President seems to be acting that way.
No apologies to the President's extremist supporters, defenders and promoters.

For those who have reading problems, the Bishop said:

- issues that affect the generality of the populace should be addressed immediately.

- conducive environment should be provided for both small and large scale private investments to thrive.

- all sectors of the economy should be privatised.

- no particular administration/political party should be blamed, but the system.

- Nigerians should individually and collectively seek solutions to our problems as we have no where else to go.
...
Understood?

Thank you sir, for telling Buhari the truth!

Nigerians are not happy! Things are continually falling apart and those at the helm of affairs are not doing anything about it.

Pot calling the kettle black! Is Oyedepo sensitive to the plight of the poor when he takes money as tithes and offerings from them to fly private jets, live in opulence and build schools for the super-rich?
