In the video, the pastor stated that the price of rice in Nigeria would surge by 30%, attributing the anticipated hike to persistent inflationary pressures.
He warned that the cost of goods and services would continue to climb, making everyday essentials increasingly unaffordable for many citizens.
According to the cleric, inflation was not merely an economic issue but a sign of deeper global instability. He claimed that the world was approaching its “end time,” and that hardship would remain a defining feature of life for Nigerians and people in other nations.
Hardship and poverty: Call for action beyond prayer
The pastor urged Nigerians to prepare for continued economic difficulty, stressing that prayer alone would not be sufficient to overcome poverty. In his message, he encouraged citizens to embrace hard work and resilience as practical tools for survival.
He also addressed the role of wealth distribution, asserting that no amount of generosity from the rich could eliminate poverty entirely.
“There will always be poor people among us,” he said, suggesting that systemic challenges and individual effort must both be considered in addressing economic inequality.
