Use your skills to work in 2025, Bishop urges Nigerians

-

 



The General Superintendent, Holy Spirit Mission, also known as the Happy Family Nation, Bishop Charles Ighele, has urged Nigerians to face 2025 with resilience by learning skills that will boost their earning capacity.

Ighele said this in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Lagos.

He also advised Nigerians to be contented and not fight themselves while trying to survive in 2025.

“My appeal to Nigerians is that they should face the new year with resilience.

“Things are tough and I appeal to citizens not to fight themselves while struggling to survive.

“Instead, they should identify their areas of skill and educate themselves in the area of their God’s given ability.

“They should use their skills to  work and develop a spirit of contentment and at the same time have a God fearing ambition to rise in life,” he said.

Ighele who expressed displeasure over the educational system in the country, said that primary and secondary schools needed to do more on the children.

“One of our problems is that the public primary and secondary schools are run in a way that over 95 per cent of students are not  intellectually and emotionally developed.

“The educational system has not also polished them to become civilised citizens, therefore, it has failed to offer two basic things that education offers, which is mental development and civilised behaviour.

“Once the products of any educational system fails to meet these two basic requirements, most of the students produced will not be good enough to be productive and contribute their quota to national development,” he said.

He added that with the two basic requirements absent, “a vicious circle  of the creation of poverty and criminals is then set in motion.”

“Until the Nigerian ruling class embarks on a total societal re-engineering of the entire social substructure, there shall be no glorious superstructure. I hope the ruling class will understand this.

“Once they understand, there shall be hope for Nigeria. I am hopeful that things will change in due course,” he said.
