The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has criticized the Central Bank of Nigeria’s proposed redesign of the Naira.
Pastor Adeboye in his sermon at the church’s November Holy Ghost Service, which was theme “Let It Rain”, lamented that the Naira is not worth the paper it is printed on yet those in charge want to make it more attractive.
He said, “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.
“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.”
