Daniel Olukoya, founder and general overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), says Nigeria needs divine intervention. 

Olukoya spoke on Sunday at the end of the church’s 30th anniversary celebration and international convention in Lagos.

Describing the map of Africa, he likened the position of Nigeria to the trigger of a gun, saying “God has a purpose for us”.

Olukoya, who said he believes in one Nigeria, added that if Christians prayed more, things would go well.

“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,” he said.

“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.”

Olukoya earlier said God gave him the vision to start the church when he was living in a room apartment in 1977.

He, however, said the church did not start until 12 years after he supposedly got the vision.

The event was attended by Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos and his wife, Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu; Udom Emmanuel, governor of Akwa-Ibom state.
