The reality of Nigeria’s continued retrogression as a nation, despite the much-publicized Global Ranking of Praying Nations, which puts Nigeria as the second most prayerful country, will be the focus of discussion at the monthly discussion programme, Boiling Point.
Discussants at this month’s edition, scheduled to be held on Sunday, November 12, 2023, are two eminent clerics from the Christian and Islamic divides, Pastor Femi Emmanuel and Prof. Afis Ayinde Oladosu.
Pastor Femi Emmanuel, who once had a foray into politics and subsequently got elected Deputy Speaker, Oyo State House of Assembly, is the Presiding Pastor, Living Spring International Church, while Prof. Afis Oladosu is of the Department of Arabic and Islamic Studies, University of Ibadan.
Boiling Point Arena, the 13th in the monthly series of the online interview discourse, will be held via Google Meet on Sunday and is expected to be transmitted live by an Abeokuta-based radio station, Sweet 107.1FM, for the two-hour duration from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.
The once-in-a-month current affairs programme, with an incredibly large online following, is the brainchild of the initiator and convener, Dr Ayo Arowojolu, a media professional with 33 years of varied work experience spanning the media, banking, and education sectors.
This particular edition is titled “Global Ranking of Praying Nations: Why is God Not Answering the Prayers of Nigerians for National Progress?
Both Pastor Emmanuel and Prof. Ayinde are expected to offer insightful perspectives on the subject matter of prayer and how to get God’s attention at a time of despair, and in particular, for national progress.
The duo is also expected to walk the global audience through Nigeria’s journey to nationhood and the several phases of the country’s development, as well as point out the spiritual dimensions and diagnosis of our retrogression as a nation.
Pencilled as keynote speaker at the interview session is one of Nigeria’s foremost monarchs, the Olowu of Owu Kingdom, Oba Prof Saka Matemilola, in his capacity as Chairman, Boiling Point Council of Royals and Elders.
According to a statement by the Chairman, Organising Committee for the programme, Mr. Eddy Ademosu, one of Nigeria’s notable public relations icons, the interview discourse will in particular point the way forward for the country in furtherance of regaining its once-enviable status as African’s giant.
Mr Ademosu commended the Board and Management of Sweet FM, chaired by the Promoter, Senator Olugbenga Obadara for identifying with worthy causes by partnering with the Boiling Point platform to widen the audience reach through its terrestrial and online channels
