Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Dr. Paul Enenche, has issued a heartfelt warning about the dire state of Nigeria, claiming the nation is trapped under a “blanket of sorcery and darkness” as millions struggle with escalating poverty and hardship. Enenche made the comments on Thursday, July 31, 2025, lamenting that the economic crisis has driven many citizens to silent suffering while leaders remain, in his words, “insensitive and unresponsive” to the people’s plight.
“There’s a blanket of sorcery and darkness over this nation; an evil spell making people tolerate what should provoke outrage,” Enenche wrote on social media, highlighting how more church members now line up after services for essential needs rent, food, school fees, and medical care instead of spiritual counseling or prayer. He described the current moment as abnormal, saying the leaders act as if nothing is wrong, which he called a form of “witchcraft” and “a spell of patience in captivity.”
Pastor Enenche also expressed the emotional toll the crisis has taken on pastors and faith leaders, who are increasingly drained of resources as congregants seek material assistance. He called for urgent divine intervention to break what he perceives as an oppressive spiritual and economic grip on the country, declaring, “Let every evil spell over this land be broken! Let those misruling with arrogance and mocking the people’s pain face divine judgment. They shall not see the celebration of their wickedness.”
His statements underscore growing public frustration with persistent hardship in Nigeria, intensified by rising prices, unemployment, and complaints of governmental indifference. Enenche’s prophetic tone and powerful metaphors have resonated widely on social media, fueling debate about both the spiritual and systemic dimensions of Nigeria’s struggles.
