I, Bishop Chinedu Nwoye without doubt believe that Nigeria has great potential to return to its position as giant in the comity of world leading nations like India, China, Brazil, USA. The USA had gone through its periods of great depression, civil unrest, civil war, political crisis and segregation and emerged stronger through looking inwards. Nigeria has emerged stronger and shall rise to its pride of place through use of science, technology to address its challenges
Pray for Nigeria. Pray for her leaders so it shall be well with Nigeria
