Daniel Olukoya, the Founder and General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), has said Nigeria can only overcome its problems with God’s intervention.
Olukoya said this on Sunday at the international convention and 30th anniversary of the MFM held at its Prayer City, along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
The event also had in attendance Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his wife, Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu and Akwa-Ibom State Governor, Udom Emmanuel.
According to Olukoya, if Christians could pray more, the country would be in a better position.
He said, “We need divine intervention as a nation but I’m a believer of one Nigeria and I believe God has a purpose for where we are. I keep telling people that if we look at the map of Africa, it looks like a gun and Nigeria is at the trigger end of it, so God has a purpose for us and I believe if Christians pray more and do what they should do, everything will be fine.”

During the event, the church also awarded 300 students from various universities and polytechnics across the world, who are first-class graduates.
Olukoya said, “As part of my passion for youths, I had a 70-point agenda to ensure their success in all their endeavours. The award is one, the MFM football team is another. To the glory of God, both are doing well now. This award started in 2010 when we gave out 19 cars to first-class graduates. By 2013, the number of first-class graduates had risen to 77. We could no longer afford to give out cars, so we resorted to giving out cash awards.
