The Environment & Local Economy

Here in Africa, we are very concerned about the environment, there are a lot of issues that are very important and serious. One of these has to do with petrochemicals that are used in farming, fertilizers, insecticides, how these petrochemicals are bad for the soil (they kill their biological life in the soils) and not too long, they render the soils in fertile, which means farmers need more petrochemicals which is more expensive for them.

They get lower yields, the cost of farming rises, the profits from them decreases and eventually, impoverishes farmers. These big agricultural and petrochemical companies will fund research to show that the petrochemicals and their digital technologies are good and wonderful, and have the best welfare of people in the heart, and so on. But it's actually about markets and profitability.

The actual issue here isn't increase in population. We have robots good population in Nigeria. But that is not the reason why these forests are clean. Industrial farming is the problem, whether it's chickens and animals, our soils, etc. It's bringing huge cost to the environment and huge cost to the local economy and local people. It is very sad and this has to be stopped.

These things as I say, are crimes against humanity and they must be stopped. We have to have the collective will, we have to have the political will, we have to have the love for environment and love for humanity, we have to have a genuine heart, and not this colonial business that we know better.

This industrial farming of a thing is probably the most destructive issue in our environment. And so if we're going to have climate change conferences and global summits about the climate, they have to be honest, and not alarmist to push us into regions that are actually designed to open up profits financial planning companies, and they're not designed for the welfare of the people.

The reason desertification is increasing global corruption. It's disheartening and discouraging that these conferences others have no concern about this real issues. The Environment Matters and it’s really important.

We are connected to the earth and modern civilization has taken man away from the earth and put them in a city, and has been disconnected with the earth. Man no longer has idea about ecosystems and his relationship with nature. That's why we've allowed these chemical companies to run rife.

The critical factor here is to stop corporate and global corruption. That way, we can stop this fake research and get back to proper research, which includes all of us. Stop this politicization that divides us try from driving people to pick from people. We have to have restored relationships, so we can have diversity in ecosystems; animal farming, cattle, soils, etc. working together.

We need a new economy, which is looking after the true wealth of local communities, and not global profits. This is biblical devotion. And let's address these as the church because the church is the light of the world. We are the hope.
