Why We Should Invest In People

A few days ago, I was talking with someone, and he was telling me about the state of the nation in Nigeria. He said a lot of people have lost trust and hope in the country, and everyone is just trying to survive and make ends meet. I couldn’t agree more. The gap between the rich and the poor is getting wider every day, and it seems like the problem isn't going away anytime soon.

More and more people are drowning in poverty, while the elites and politicians ignore the cries of the poor.

But here’s what I want to say—if we ever dream of having a good future for our continent, we must invest in our people. Many wealthy individuals focus only on acquiring properties, both at home and abroad, while neglecting the people. But how can our nations develop without investing in the people? That should be our number one priority!

If our continent is drowning in poverty, with so many people facing various challenges, then we must first find a way to solve these problems—not just buy more properties. I understand that everyone wants to take care of their families and build wealth for future generations.

But how can you build wealth for the next generation when the current one is suffering? It doesn’t work that way. We need to invest in the people we see today—not just the unborn generations—because it is those we empower now who will shape the future we desire.

We have many youths who are unemployed and roaming the streets. Why can’t we help them, one by one? Why can’t we start with the little things we can do? I say this must be our priority. It must be our number one focus.

We have many problems—so, which one will you choose to solve? Do you want to start an educational program? Or maybe a food program? Which area do you want to focus on? There are so many areas: physical, mental, emotional, psychological, social, academic, health, spiritual—you name it. 

Our people are going through so much. Instead of thinking only about yourself and your family, think about others. Before you buy properties or hire security guards to protect your home, invest in people.

I know to some, this may sound like a messiah mentality, but I truly believe this is what we must do if we want to build a better future for ourselves. The best and greatest investment we can make on our continent is in people. That is the only secure investment that will yield the greatest return.

I love what I saw in El Salvador. I’ve shared that example before on my blog. A nation that transformed from one of the most dangerous places on earth to one of the safest countries in the world—brilliant! And the simple secret? Investment in people. 

A few individuals believed they could turn things around and make their nation the best on earth. And today, El Salvador is thriving economically and in many other areas. This is what we can do on our continent too.

We see so many of our people dying every day—what can we do to help? No help is too small. You can do something now. Even helping just one person matters. If each of us did that, it would go a long way. One by one, we’ll keep growing, expanding, and making an impact. We can’t leave the burden on the government alone. In fact, we are all part of the government. The direction we want society to go—that’s the direction it will take.

Now, I’m not saying you shouldn’t make other investments. I’m saying our people should be our priority. That is our greatest and most important investment.

Look for someone to train. Look for someone to help. Don’t focus only on yourself. Volunteer and support others. This is how we serve our continent—and people will appreciate you for it.

If you can share valuable information to help someone, do it. If your support can come in other forms, go ahead and give it. Nothing is too small or too big. Every help, every bit of support, every act of assistance is needed at this point on our continent.

Here’s another important point—we must think long-term. It’s not just about solving temporary problems, but about offering permanent solutions. And yes, it all starts with one step. So, let’s start with just one thing.

I call on our fellow Africans in the diaspora to continue investing in our continent. I know many of us are already doing a lot—let’s create more awareness among ourselves. Let’s keep investing in our people. Let’s educate and enlighten more. Let’s keep offering help and assistance, and I believe our continent will do great things. Together, we will continue to move Africa forward.

God bless you.

The Danger of Silence – Crushing the Business of Religion in Africa (Part 3)

Another area where I think many of us have been silent in Africa is the area of religion. 

Many things have gone wrong, yet we remain silent. Jesus is a commodity that is now selling fast in Africa, and everyone wants to have their own shop. Everyone must open their own business center (church) and brand it in a way that will be attractive to the customers (members).

I know that, as Africans, we are a spiritual people. I’ve discussed that many times on my blog. But here is what you must understand: religion in Africa has now become a business, and it has been grossly abused!

Abuse of anything is not good. Water, as important as it is to our body (making up more than 60% of our body weight), if abused, can take your life. Even food and air can do likewise. So, balance must be maintained in everything.

In Africa, because of greed and the bad economy, many of our people have ventured into the business of religion, taking advantage of the bad leadership and poverty in the land. They give false prophecies, swindle people, and coerce them into giving money in the name of God.

Now, the name of God is a good bait to swindle and manipulate people. And of course, because many people are gullible and don’t know the truth, they fall into the trap of these wolves, who get rich at their expense. They milk them dry and leave them empty, plunging them further into poverty.

This is a major menace in our society, and it must be quickly eradicated before it gets out of hand. 

Some people would say, “Don’t judge the pastors. Don’t castigate anyone.” But this is foolishness. How can a responsible leader avoid accountability and transparency? They want to use God to cover everything up while they feed on their members to become rich.

I don’t know why it’s only pastors and G.O.s who are receiving God’s blessings in Africa. I don’t know why they are the only ones buying expensive cars and private jets.

If God is truly God, why is He so partial in blessing people? Why can’t He bless everyone? 

Oh, someone might say, “Because pastors are more anointed,” or “Because they have more faith.” That must be a fallacy!

The last time I checked, God didn’t bless people based on who is more anointed or has more faith. The richest man in the world is not the most anointed. Everyone who comes to the Lord receives miracles through their gift of faith, which everyone has received. 

So, there is no special form of faith that one must have before they can receive blessings from the Lord. In fact, everyone is already blessed.

This is just another manipulative strategy to deceive people and make them believe that God blesses some people more than others, making God appear partial or discriminatory.

The truth is that the religious industry in Africa has become corrupt. It has become an element of shame and reproach. 

Pastors and G.O.s are rich, while members are poor—just like politicians are rich while the masses are poor. And in fact, some of the religious leaders have become partners with the politicians, allowing them to be corrupt and rob the masses.

It would be bad enough if these wolves were not feeding on their prey. But no, they go ahead and collect the little their members have, still promising them that God will bless them. I don’t know why it’s taking God centuries to bless people.

Africa must wake up from this stupidity. This is a pure scam!

We must reject the false messages that many religious leaders are selling to us. While they are getting rich and fat, the members are getting poorer and hungrier. This will not work, and it is unsustainable.

This is not the church that the Apostles started. It is not the church that our Lord Jesus Christ ordained. This is the church of mammon and demon. It is the church of selfishness and greed. 

I tell the pastors and G.O.s to stop this evil, or else they will be judged!

I see Africa getting liberated from the shackles of religion and spiritual slavery.

The Devil’s Mission to Destroy Men

Have you noticed the Devil's mission on men? Have you seen how he's waging war against them worldwide? Many men are silently suffering from challenges that only few acknowledge. They have been insulted, distrusted and perceived as irresponsible. 

Men are dying in wars and incarceration. They face ridicule and shame. Many are jobless and hopeless. They are bullied, intimidated, and disrespected. In some places, men are treated as third-class citizens, ranking below women, children, and even pets.

Men endure hardships they rarely speak about. They bottle up struggles too heavy to bear. When women face challenges, society expects men to step in and help. But when a man is in crisis, who stands up for him?

People often say, "Be a man!" But how can a man "be a man" without support? Everyone needs help at some point in life. It is crucial that men receive the assistance and encouragement they need.

Today, many young men lack vision and direction. They feel lost, confused, and frustrated with life. Some become the subject of ridicule due to their struggles and mistakes. Without guidance, they fall into destructive patterns, bringing shame to themselves and their communities.

The world is full of crises—economic, social, marital, psychological, and emotional. Good jobs are scarce, and the future seems uncertain. Men face relentless pressure from families, partners, and endless financial responsibilities. The average man struggles his entire life, harboring stress and emotional burdens, sacrificing himself to make others happy while neglecting his own well-being.

For many, the weight of life’s struggles has become unbearable.

The devil’s strategy is simple: he wants to destroy God's foundation on earth. So, he corrupts a man’s mind, and leads him into making poor choices. Then, frustration sets in. He starts misbehaving—perhaps he abuses his wife or girlfriend, engages in crime, or falls into addiction.

Eventually, he is caught, imprisoned, or even killed. If he avoids crime, the overwhelming pressures of life may drive him to take his own life.

Recently, we have seen a troubling rise in male suicides due to societal pressures.

Men are dying in wars. They are perishing in conflicts. When men disappear, families break apart. When families break, children go untrained. When children go untrained, criminals are raised. The very foundation that God established is being destroyed. That is the devil’s plan—he seeks to ruin men, steal their vision, break their spirits, and strip them of hope and dignity.

Look at what happened in the Garden of Eden. The Devil came to the woman even though he had the man in mind. He deceived her and used her to destroy the man. It's the same playbook. He uses different indirect attacks on men, making sure he strikes them where they least expect it.

But now things must change. We must rise. It's time for God's people to intercede for men in prayer—to call upon the God of Israel to restore men, to reignite their visions and dreams, to revive their purpose and destiny. It is time for men to be restored to their rightful identity, value, and honor.

Recently, I watched a documentary about prisons in El Salvador. I was shocked to see hundreds of thousands of men behind bars. They were labeled as gang members who had committed terrible crimes. 

When some were interviewed, they expressed deep regret, saying they did not truly understand the weight of their actions at the time. But now, many of them face life sentences with little hope for redemption—unless a miracle happens!

Some revealed they had joined gangs as early as 11 years old because they had no fathers—only their mothers. And then it became clear to me: This is exactly what the devil wants. He aims to destroy families by removing fathers, leaving boys untrained and vulnerable to crime. This is his ultimate agenda—to destroy men from childhood.

But with our prayers and counsel, the devil has already lost! The Lord is ready to answer our prayers and grant us wisdom to counter the enemy’s schemes. Together, we will win this battle and put the devil to shame, in Jesus' name!

God bless you!
