Joshua Iginla, the founder and the general overseer of Champions Royal Assembly, Abuja, has warned Nigerian youths never to be decived by claims of greener pastures outside Nigeria.
Iginla said this in reaction to the sordid tales from migrants about their experiences in Libya after some of them were reportedly sold into slavery.
The pastor described the violence in Libya as man’s wickedness against another.
A statement from the church said while speaking at a service, Iginla also decried the desperation of Nigerians and other Africans to seek greener pastures abroad.
The pastor warned that there is no machine out there that guarantees instant prosperity.
“I have never seen this level of heartlessness, wickedness from one human being to another. I saw how young ladies were molested and I begin to wonder if the people doing these are human beings.
“That is why in this ministry, we are doing our best to assist. It is really wicked to see how people price human beings like food.
“I pray that the government of the day will take cogent steps because there are a lot of poor brothers out there in pains.
“Please, like I always say to Nigerian youths, don’t be too desperate to relocate abroad that you now travel through desert.
“Let me tell you, what you are going through here is better than what people are going through out there.
“I said to myself that all the days of my life will I wait until my change comes before God lifted me up.
“I had taken that decision before to travel out by all means but God said to me that I should relax and that he would take me abroad as a glorified wealthy person just to add colour to what is there and that is what God has done for me,” he said.
He said those enslaving their fellow human beings would be divinely exposed through prayers from Christian faithful.
“Fellow Nigerians are involved in the human trafficking business as if they were selling eggs, deceiving people into their wickedness,” he lamented.
The televangelist and philanthropist added: “If you go abroad, you will labour, in fact, you will work harder than when you are in Nigeria. Our people who are there can testify to what I am saying.
“Nigerian laws are more human-friendly than those of other countries. I have never seen a law like Nigeria that is so friendly to the citizens unlike the foreign countries.
“My brethren, we are crying every day that Nigeria is bad; no, Nigeria is a good, blessed country and it will prosper.
“Don’t wait for the government because in the next 30 years, they will continue to promise, create your Jerusalem yourself.
“Please don’t be in a hurry to travel out, let’s join hands together in prayers to make Nigeria better.”
