Human efforts have failed us, we need divine intervention – MFM Founder
The General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries (MFM), Prof. Daniel Olukoya, said there is need to seek for divine intervention as human efforts have failed to solve Nigeria problems.
Olukoya said this while speaking with newsmen after being honoured with doctoral degree in Management Science during the 34th and 35th combined convocation of the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) on Saturday.
He said that the lingering challenges being encountered by the country without present solutions had pointed to recourse for divine intervention.
“There’s only one weapon that can kill any problem, its prayer.
“No matter how strong it is, prayer can dismantle any problem. And, so, I keep preaching here that what we need in Nigeria is divine intervention.
“Let God intervene in what we are doing. Divine intervention is greater than your brain, than what your brain can do.
“And from what is happening in the world, you can see that God is showing mankind that they’re helpless. There are storms, flood disaster, what can you do? ” he said.
Also, responding to high tuition fees charged by private universities especially church-owned universities, Olukoya said that it was not the fault of school proprietors, but a desire for quality.
“Well, it’s not the fault of those proprietors. No, I’m one of them. I’m always at the back of the pool because I know how difficult it was for me to get to the university.
“My parents didn’t have the money. But then the current situation states that if you cannot pay good money to the lecturers, to the professors, you won’t get good teachers.
“And if you run a private university and you are paying less than the federal, you will not get good professors.
“So it’s the financing and paying the salaries,” he said.
Olukoya added that the cost of electricity was another major issue in running a university.
He said that a lot of money was being spent on generation of power.
“And the current situation now is generation of power. Power. To run a university on a generator? What? It’s a lot of money.
“In our university, most of the money may go to diesel. It’s now we’re installing solar,” he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that a total of 6,405 students were conferred with degree certificates on Friday while a total of 1,280 students were conferred with postgraduate certificates on Saturday
