joshuaClergyman blames Decadence in Society on Failures of Elites.
Against the backdrop of plethora of social and economic vices bedeviling the Nation, a renowned Evangelist, Isaac Omolehin, Founder of The Word Commission International and The Word Assembly Churches in Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria, has blamed the older generation for lack of proper mentoring of the youths.
The clergyman stated this on Friday while on a courtesy visit to the Management of graphic newspapers to herald the activities marking his 50 years of active Evangelical Ministry. The Clergyman made the visit as part of his activities at the ongoing three day crusade holding in the State.
He said, the Nation is getting all sorts of evils as a result of the failure of the Elites to give rightful direction and guides to the youths.
Omolehin noted that all institutions of social change that would have moulded the actions of the young ones have failed in the responsibilities which he pointed out has fueled high level of decadence in the country.
He decried the activities of some men of God and Government officials who flaunt their ill gotten wealth which is an appetiser for the youths to emulate their misdeeds.
He frowned at some Pastors who have commercialized and monetise Christianity even as the Elites flamboyantly display their wealth in the midst of abject poverty.
He called for a paradgm shift by all members of the society to return the country to the path of just and egalitarian society
While disclosing that, he started his Ministry from Kogi State, said he is glad to bow out in the State.
” I started from Kogi State. I went to Government Secondary school Dekina. Kogi is blessed with abundant mineral resources and just only one that Dangote is exploring, see the number of persons he is employing.
” I pray that Private Sector will take roots here. Private Sector is engine room for development. Graphic newspapers will soar when Private organisations flourish in the state and that is when, Graphic will prospers” He prayed
While disclosing that he has secured a land in Ihima, Okehi LGA to build a Polytechnic and Bible College for the training and inculcation of core values in the younger generations.
