Former Vice President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and ex-President-General of the Maritime Workers’ Union of Nigeria (MWUN), Comrade Anthony Emmanuel Nted, has lamented the growing hunger in the country, accusing pastors of amassing wealth while their congregants struggle to feed.
Nted, who spoke during his 65th birthday celebration, which coincides with Nigeria’s Independence Day, said the contrast between his personal growth and the nation’s decline leaves him deeply troubled.
“I am happy I was born on October 1, but I am not happy I share the birthday with Nigeria. While I am moving forward, the country is going backward,” he was quoted by Vanduard as saying.
He said the hardship facing Nigerians has reached alarming levels, noting that “every day I get 200 calls asking for food. People are dying of starvation. Things were better before, but today Nigerians can’t eat. Reforms are not feeding the people.”
The former labour leader condemned both past and present administrations for failing to alleviate poverty, saying leaders must stop making excuses. “It didn’t start from President Tinubu—it began with past leaders.
“But if you accept leadership, you must take responsibility. You can’t keep blaming those before you. Once you are in office, you must do the right thing and show people progress,” he said.
Nted took a swipe at religious leaders, accusing them of misusing church funds for luxury.
“Did God ask for money to buy jets? No. That money should go to the needy. Every day people are hungry, yet pastors are buying jets. It is wrong,” he said.
