Buhari-led Nigerian Government Wants To Make Naira Look Beautiful Even If It Can’t Buy Bread – Pastor Adeboye

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has criticized the Nigerian government’s proposed redesign of the N200, N500, and N1,000 banknotes.

The redesign of the Naira notes had been announced by Godwin Emefiele, Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

On December 5, 2022, he predicted, the newly designed naira notes would go on sale.

Pastor Adeboye responded by lamenting that the situation in Nigeria had gotten so bad that the country’s money was no longer worth the paper it was printed on.

He gave a sermon at the church’s Let It Rain-themed Holy Ghost Service in November.

“You know what’s going on in our country. It doesn’t even make sense anymore. Our naira now is not even worth the paper it is printed on,” the octogenarian said at the programme held at the RCCG’s international headquarters along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

“And while people are hungry, trying to find enough money to buy bread to eat, our bosses are thinking of making the naira more beautiful, even if it can’t buy bread, at least, it will look beautiful. Oh Lord, have mercy.

“We have problems in the land now. Things seem to be getting funnier and funnier. If you don’t learn to laugh in Nigeria now, you will develop hypertension.”

Adeboye further said God has not told him yet whether there will be an election in Nigeria in 2023.

“Do you know that up till now, and this is November, up till now, Daddy (God) hasn’t told me yet that there is going to be an election next year?

“We continue of course as if there is going to be. I am saying that Adeboye, I am not talking of other people, God has not told me yet. The yet must be in capital (letters). He may tell me tomorrow; I don’t know but as of this moment, he hasn’t told whether or not there will be an election next year.

“I am not trying to frighten you. I am not a prophet, I am just a pastor.”
