Pastor Gbile Akanni: Nigeria’s Healing Depends on the Repentance of the Church
Renowned Christian teacher Pastor Gbile Akanni has declared that Nigeria cannot experience true healing until the church repents and returns to its spiritual foundations.
Speaking at a recent gathering, Akanni stressed that the spiritual health of the church is directly tied to the destiny of the nation. He argued that while many Nigerians point fingers at government leaders, the deeper crisis lies within the church itself.
“The nation is sick because the church is sick. Nigeria will not heal until the church repents,” he said. His words drew sober reflection from the audience, as he called both ministers and believers to embrace holiness, truth, and genuine discipleship.
Akanni warned against the dangers of materialism and compromise, which he said have weakened the moral authority of the church. According to him, shallow Christianity has stripped the church of its power to influence society for good. “We cannot expect national transformation when the church itself needs transformation,” he added.

The message quickly resonated beyond the event, sparking online discussions among Christians nationwide. Many believers shared personal reflections, with some acknowledging the urgent need for revival in their local assemblies. The call for repentance also fueled renewed conversations about the church’s role in shaping Nigeria’s moral and political climate.
Pastor Akanni, widely respected for his teachings on discipleship and revival, has consistently urged believers to return to biblical foundations. His ministry, known for prioritizing depth over popularity, has influenced pastors, students, and professionals across Nigeria and beyond.
Analysts note that his message carries particular weight in a season where Nigeria is grappling with economic hardship, insecurity, and social unrest. For Akanni, the solution is not merely political reform but spiritual renewal within the body of Christ.
As conversations continue, his call serves as a reminder that national healing begins with spiritual accountability. For many, it is a challenge to the Nigerian church to rise above material distractions and live out its true calling as salt and light in a troubled nation.
