As Nigeria intensifies efforts toward economic diversification and food security, agriculture is once again taking centre stage as a viable pillar for national rebirth. In this unfolding narrative, Very Superior Evangelist Falomo stands out as a compelling example of how faith, foresight, and investment can intersect to drive sustainable development.
Historically, agriculture formed the backbone of the Western Region’s economy before the oil boom cocoa, kolanut, palm produce, and food crops sustained livelihoods and funded social infrastructure. Today, as Nigeria seeks an economic reset, the nation is rediscovering that same truth: the land still holds the key.
VSE Falomo, a Shepherd within Celestial Church of Christ and based in Dublin, Ireland, has translated this philosophy into action. Beyond his spiritual assignment preaching salvation and moral renewal, he has made strategic investments in agriculture, demonstrating that ministry and productivity are not mutually exclusive. His engagement in agribusiness reflects a theology of stewardship: using God-given resources to bless humanity, create value, and strengthen economies.
“God did not call us only to pray over the land; He also called us to work the land. Agriculture is a divine instruction and an economic solution,” VSE Falomo
This perspective resonates with Scripture. “The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it” (Genesis 2:15). Likewise, Proverbs affirms that “He who works his land will have abundant food” (Proverbs 12:11). For VSE Falomo, agriculture is both obedience to divine order and a pragmatic response to national need. 
In a time of unemployment, rising food prices, and overdependence on imports, his example sends a strong editorial message Nigeria’s economic recovery will not come from sermons alone, but from sincere labour, innovation, and investment in productive sectors. Clergy and laity alike are challenged to rethink prosperity, not as consumption, but as creation.
As the nation searches for credible models to anchor its economic reset, VSE Falomo’s journey into agriculture offers a timely lesson: faith that feeds the soul must also help feed the nation.
