Opportunities to thrive abound in Nigeria, cleric tells youths

Provincial Advisory Council member, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) and General Overseer, Holy Fire Ministry, Bishop Edward Benson has called on the youth in the nation to discern the enormous opportunities available for them to make a good living despite the hardship in the land and tap from them.

He remarked that a lot of youths are making a headway without staining their hands in shady deals or committing cyber crimes by creating content in the internet space.

He made the call at the media briefing on Edward Benson Fire Crusade organised by Holy Fire Ministry in collaboration with Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) and Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) with the theme, ‘Greater Grace, Greater Power’.

The crusade will commence today at 2pm through tomorrow, Sunday, August 25, 2024, at Blue Roof, LTV 8, Agidingbi, Ikeja, Lagos.Benson, who is the Visioner and President, Edward Benson Fire Crusade, announced free transportation to the venue from various routes in Lagos including Ayobo, Ikorodu, among others, saying the pick up time is 1pm. He encouraged residents to attend the crusade, assuring that situations would turn around for participants and also for Nigeria.

Benson frowned at the youth standing aloof, complaining of no job in the country where their fellow youths are engaging in critical thinking and clean business that is making ways for them.

“Despite the devaluation of Naira, a lot of youths are taking advantage of those opportunities technology has opened up and having their breakthroughs while some are having the erroneous belief that until they migrate to other countries, they cannot make it,” he said.

He charged the youth and Nigerians to think, open their eyes and embrace a lot of opportunities that had opened up despite the current economic depression and take advantage of them.
