Pastor Adeyinka Solomon of Christ Glory Church, Ilorin, has advised Nigerians to embrace discipline and not allow themselves to be pushed by the economic crisis rocking the country.

Mr Solomon, who gave the advice in Ilorin on Friday, said the crisis would not last forever. 

“Be disciplined, don’t allow yourself to be pushed to steal or involved in any kind of robbery act to survive. There is no need to cheat or do any internet fraud for survival. Everything will come and go,” the church leader stated.

The clergyman added, “It is a matter of time. Do not ruin your future, career or name all in the name of economic crisis.”

Mr Solomon, however, called on the public to support and share what they have with the unfortunate masses.

He advised the privileged and rich not to think about themselves alone but to remember and support the poor.

“When you give to the needy without discriminating, our God will enrich and bless you abundantly in a multiple fold,” the Christ Glory Church leader promised.
