Methodist Church laments high level of hardship, insecurity in Nigeria
The current hardship in Nigeria is biting so hard on the entire citizens and has resulting in different vices in the country, the Methodist Church has said.
Reverend Joseph. F. Osifuwa of the Diocese of Kwara State, stated this at the opening of the 35th Annual Synod of the Methodist Church Nigeria in Ilorin on Friday.
Speaking on the state of the nation, he said Nigeria under the administration of President Bola Tinubu is passing through a very challenging time.
“The economy has collapsed to the extent that above 90 percent of the citizens are living below poverty level. The removal of fuel subsidy and floating of the naira have caused continuous inflation on goods and services that they are out of reach of the teaming populace,” he declared.
Osifuwa lamented that “most of our systems, have failed making the situation hopeless for all categories of citizens in the country, while our best brains and productive youths are leaving the country for a better living abroad”.
The clergy added that killings in Benue, Plateau and other states are unacceptable.
“Insecurity that is so alarming needs the serious attention of the President and his service chiefs, no stone should be left unturned in order to wipe out the bandits, terrorists, kidnappers and their sponsors.
“Enough of the shedding the blood of innocent citizens of this nation, enough of turning out good arable land to waste land through killings and sending people out of their ancestry land,” he said.
The clergyman added that bandits and terrorists must not be allowed to take over the country when there are well trained, equipped and empowered armed forces that have the full authority and support of the Federal Government.
“The Tinubu-led Federal Government must as a matter of urgency take drastic steps to tackle all that stand to discredit his government.”
He said the economy needs resuscitation and revival with engagement of technocrats that will sincerely, faithfully and sacrificially work for the transformation of the economy.
Speaking on Kwara State, Rev. Osifuwa, expressed concern over the spate of killings by bandits in Kaiama, Baruten and Ifelodun LGAs.
He said the result of people fleeing their ancestral homes and farmlands for fear of being killed or kidnapped, will result to food insecurity and economic crisis in no distant time if government does not take urgent steps to address insecurity.
Osifuwa further advised the government to work on religious and tribal dichotomy, adding that the state should not be allowed to disintegrate or divide along religious and tribal lines.
“We should be treated equally and be given equal platform to operate. Kwara State will surely be great through unity and tolerance,” he added.

I Threw My Expensive Gold Jewelry into the Lagoon the Moment I Became a Born-Again Christian— Pastor Adeboye’s Wife, Foluke
Wife of Foluke Adeboye has revealed the drastic step she took after becoming born again, throwing away her gold jewellery into a lagoon.
Speaking candidly, the pastor’s wife shared that like many women, she once loved fashion and had even prepared expensive gold items for her young child.
However, everything changed after she joined the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), where wearing earrings was frowned upon at the time.
“The moment we were born again, it was a taboo for you to have earrings. So everything, I dropped it in the lagoon,” she said.
She recalled how a family friend questioned her decision, suggesting she could have given the jewellery to her mother to sell instead.
But She stood firm, “Whatever is not good for me is not good for my mother.”
Reflecting on her journey, she made it clear she has no regrets about her sacrifice.
“I don’t miss anything, not much, because I have already sold my life,” she added.

ADC calls on women to lead, shape Nigeria’s future
As Nigeria observes International Women’s Day 2026, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has urged women to take active roles in politics and leadership to help build a more inclusive nation.
In a statement on Sunday, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, said Nigerian women carry a disproportionate share of social and economic responsibilities but remain underrepresented in decision-making positions.
“From mothers and teachers to doctors, nurses, and entrepreneurs, women sustain our nation every day. Yet their voices are often absent when decisions about our future are made,” the statement read.
The ADC highlighted that its National Working Committee is deliberately structured to include women, and emphasized that the party is the only one in Nigeria whose constitution reserves 40 per cent of all positions at every level for women.
“For the ADC, women are partners in nation-building, and empowering them strengthens Nigeria’s democracy. When Nigerian women rise, the nation rises with them,” Abdullahi added.
The party urged more women across the country to join its platform and contribute to shaping Nigeria’s political and democratic future.
“To the ADC, women are indispensable to the future of Nigerian democracy. A nation of over two hundred million people cannot reach its full potential when half of its population remains underrepresented in political leadership. Nigeria’s democracy will only become stronger when its institutions reflect the strength, talent, and diversity of its people,” the statement emphasized.
