The Serving Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church,
Pastor Tunde Bakare, has expressed worry over what he described as an
over-bloated government, saying the numbers of civil servants must be slashed.
Pastor Bakare, a former lawyer turned cleric, stated this on
Sunday while discussing the importance of adopting what he termed the “Jewish
Phenomenon” in creating wealth in Nigeria.
He said, “The government cannot continue creating jobs; that
is not their job. In fact, civil servants should be slashed.
“We have an over
bloated government; it should be slashed, and let us empower our citizens to
introduce them to the Jewish phenomenon. Everyone has a trade.”
Meanwhile, Pastor Bakare challenged the reliance on the
government for job creation, advocating for a reduction in civil service and
empowering citizens to explore diverse talents.
His preaching echoes the overarching message that everyone
possesses a unique trade, waiting to be harnessed for personal and collective
prosperity.
Bakare urged Nigerians youths to reconsider their
perspectives on career choices and the pursuit of personal talents.
The pastor cited examples of graduates venturing into
entrepreneurship, including an Architecture graduate who transitioned to
Aso-Oke crafting and a Pharmacy graduate, Yemi Ogedengbe, who found success in
cooking.
According to Bakare, these examples illustrated the essence
of the “Jewish Phenomenon,” advocating
the diversification of skills beyond academic qualifications.
Bakare stressed the need for individuals to embrace
alternate trades alongside their certificates, foreseeing a future where job
creation would require a blend of skills and entrepreneurship.
He criticised the prevalent job-seeking mentality,
encouraging people to unleash their talents for the benefit of themselves and
others.
The cleric said, “The future does not belong to job seekers.
It belongs to job creators, entrepreneurs. It belongs to people like my mother
who did not go to school but made Adire cloth.
He stressed on the importance of nurturing one’s talents for
economic empowerment.
Bakare said, “You bury your talents and carry your
certificate with the nickname ‘applicant.’ Applicants, my foot.
“The problem was created by you because you are depriving others of the talents you carry that could create jobs for more people.”
This is what failed govt will come up with. Where were you? Because a Yoruba yahoo man is a disgrace. Fake pastor bakare, how much is given to a civil servant?
ReplyDeleteAll over the world, Nigerian civil service is worst paid I think you know that?
Nigerian politicians are the highest paid the whole world.
The fake pastor, you should know that countries that wants her people to be self reliance build facilities. Eg america, UK, France, Germany, Spain etc. there who talks about govt jobs?
But here, you build nothing. Even the pastorial work you doing is fake. God of man sorry man gods
Tell the failed govt to remove the ghost names on government pay row shikina that is all. There's nothing like bloated civil service. Blame political stakeholders.
ReplyDeleteThe real people working are few and even older. Because many of them died of poverty while others retired.
A sensible government should be thinking of recruiting young ones.
