(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The General overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Enoch Adeboye, has stated that there are issues with the Nigerian economy as it is issuing 98 percent of its income to service debt.

African Examiner writes that Nigeria, in the last first five months (January-May) of 2021, the federal government spent a total of N1.8 trillion on debt servicing from the N1.8 trillion on debt servicing out of N1.84 trillion revenue. This figure represents a 97.8 percent debt-to-revenue ratio for the period.

In a sermon titled, ‘Divine Involvement,’ on Sunday, Adeboye said when God turns his hands on a nation, things will change overnight adding that Nigeria will survive.

“When I was asked to preach in Abuja last Sunday. When I asked those who understand the language by how much we need to service our debt, they said that is the interest you have to pay, something you pay to show you are still alive,” Adeboye said.

“And that what we need to pay to keep the debt breathing is about 98 percent of our income. We have problems, and that we are still borrowing more.

“When you read the bible, you will find out that when God has his hands on the economy of a nation, he can turn things around economically.

“Whether you believe it or not, Nigeria will survive. When God is involved with a nation, he can solve a national crisis overnight.

“Have we problems in our nation — we have to be deaf or blind to believe that we have none. We have problems and quite of few.”
