‘’There is a need for zero tolerance on corruption and there should be justice across the board. A just society is the one that allows the law to take its course, a just society is the one that is transparent and corrupt-free. We cannot live in sin and pray for God’s blessing to abound.

“Therefore, for us to get the mercy of the most -high God as a nation, there is need for zero tolerance on corruption. There should be prudence, accountability, justice among others, prayers and appeasing the deities are not enough.”

According to Adams, zero tolerance for corruption and justice remain key solutions to solving the Nigerian problems, even as he described the wealth festival as a means of identifying with the deity in charge of wealth.

Aare Adams said the devaluation of Nigerian naira was a sad reminder of our failure to understand the spirituality of wealth, adding that there is a spiritual meaning to wealth creation.
