Dr. Enenche, who has been vocal
against bad governance in the nation, said it was lamentable that the rich kept
oppressing the poor to get richer while the poor got poorer in a country
acclaimed to be the giant of Africa.
Recall that the fiery preacher
had recently revealed seven things leaders should do to avert all the problems
in Nigeria.
According to the outspoken
cleric, some political leaders had been in power for years, yet, their
communities lack basic social amenities.
Speaking on Sunday during a live
service monitored on Dunamis TV at Area 1, Abuja headquarters of his church,
Enenche, who spoke on the topic, Wisdom for Finances, said some leaders go
about spending money on frivolous things while their subjects suffered in
abject poverty.
He queried, “How many rooms can
somebody sleep in one night? How many cars can somebody drive at once?
“I heard one time that some
people went to a rich man’s house to work and when they opened the ceiling only
to discover wads of dollars stacked up there which were spoiling. It is said
that such money benefited or profited nobody. In fact, some people are so
addicted to money, not knowing that addiction leads to destruction.
“There are so many foolish and
useless rich men in Africa and Nigeria. I don’t know of any country has more
money in foreign accounts than this nation. All languishing away!
“Unemployment like water,
communities that parade rich men are dying of no potable drinking water. We
have communities of big men where there are no hospitals and no access roads.
What a ‘yeyecious’ and useless bigness of life,” he added.
Dr. Enenche during service gave
an instance of a popular medical doctor from Anambra State, who had many
hospitals around the world and decided to turn his village around.
According to him, the God-fearing
medical doctor went to his village, demolished all the idols and changed the
name to Umuchuckwu (Children of God’s community).
He said the doctor also erected a
16-storey building diagnostic center for his people, tarred their roads, sent
children to school, provided them with basic amenities and he’s still living in
a rented apartment.
He quipped, “That is money with
meaning. What if we have just one thousand of such persons in Nigeria, this
country would have been like America.
“But sad enough, all they do is
to fly fromAmerica to India and from India to Dubaiand other foreign countries
on medical tourism, empty Nigeria’s treasury just to make other countries rich.
“Put billions of dollars in
another country so they can use it to develop themselves and when the greedy
rich man dies, that country takes over the money. That is what we know how to
do here.
“So sad we have this mentality of
not letting others to rise, you have seen instances where a man sees his
bother’s name for appointment and knocks it off because he does not want him or
anyone else to rise. Beloveth, note this, riches without outreach equals
wretchedness,” he added.
He revealed further, “I recall
when some Americans came to Nigeria some years ago and they said they wanted to
see how an African village looks like. It was inBenue State.
“So, I asked one of the pastors
whose village was close by to take us there because mine is like an hour ahead.
“We went to the village and saw
many huts and the people entered and asked, where is the air conditioner? And
we told them, that is the air conditioner there, if you open the small window
there, air will come in and condition the room. They asked for toilet and were
shocked there was none in the hut.
“See what happened, we stepped
into four huts, and we told the people, because we have stepped into these
huts, we are breaking them down and building new houses with modern materials.
“We also went to the primary
school opposite same place and we decided to rebuild the school.
“When it was commissioned, the
deputy governor of the state went with us.
“Amazingly, it was during the
commissioning that the village head told us that those huts we entered belonged
to some orphans, but we never knew.
“He said the huts belonged to
children whose parents had died and they had no money to even change the
thatched roof. Rain was beating them during the rainy season inside the same
huts.
“They had to labour on farms to
fend for themselves. We were not aware of all these before we took our action.
“We didn’t go there with such
intention, but we saw the need and God quickened our heart to change their
story.
“This is amidst countless other
community development projects we have consistently embarked upon over the
years.
“I am not here to score any
point, God knows, the only reason I said this is because examples communicate
principles, illustrations communicate instruction.
“Note this, you are not rich with
the amount of money or things you have, you are rich with number of people you
have reached.”
The cleric also prayed against
killers and their sponsors in the nation, averring that anyone behind the
killings in the nation will know no peace.
