The Founder of Love of Christ (LOC) Generation Church, Rev. Mother Esther Ajayi, has urged Nigerians to keep hope alive, that the economic hardships being experienced was not peculiar to Nigeria.
“I have just returned from the United Kingdom and I can tell you that prices of electricity and gas are on the high side.
“We fed many homeless people during a recent crusade in the United Kingdom. So, the issue of economic crunch is not peculiar to Nigerians alone,” Mr Ajayi said.
Mrs Ajayi made the appeal at a news conference held in Lagos to mark the 17th Anniversary, Thanksgiving of the Church.
She said that Nigerians are not asking for too much from the leaders, “We just want food on our table, light, good roads and water, while other things will fall in place.”
The cleric said that the present situation bedeviling Nigeria was not peculiar to Nigerians alone as developed nations were not exempted.
The church anniversary, to be held on September 8, at the LOC Headquarters at Victoria Island, Lagos, is to appreciate God’s benevolence.
She said the 17 years anniversary would be attended by former President Olusegun Obasanjo; Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II; Erelu Abiola Dosunmu, Governor Dapo Abiodun, among other great personalities.
“The event is scheduled for 10:00 am on Sunday and we are using this opportunity to invite Nigerians and all our well wishers.
“There’s nothing to worry about security as we have officers of the Nigeria Police Force, Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) on standby.
“There will be buses to also convey our members and other well wishers from designated areas in Lagos State,” she assured.
The church, which operates humanitarian services, has so many indigent students in the universities on its scholarship scheme.
