The General Overseer of Action Chapel International Ministry, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams has said he dreams of an Africa where no son and daughter of the continent will queue for visas for greener pastures abroad.
According to Duncan-Williams, he is optimistic that Africa will develop to a point where citizens can achieve their dreams and aspirations without travelling abroad.
The man of God called for a sustained commitment to Africa’s growth and transformation.
Speaking at the 4th Inter-Parliamentary Conference on Family, Sovereignty and Values on June 3, 2026, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams stated, “I have a dream that in my lifetime, Africa will be so developed by principles that work for us, not by principles that work for others, but by principles that work for us as we look at our culture and as individual sovereign countries”.
That, no son and no daughter of the continent of Africa will queue for visas to go to other nations for greener pastures.
But our sons and our daughters will work and labour in our own land and our countries and achieve their dreams and goals, fulfil their desires and destiny, succeed and prosper within their own countries and their own borders and not go to any other country to seek greener pastures.
I have a dream that our young men and women will not be scattered around the nation world, but Africa will rise to the occasion to fulfil its God-given destiny and mandate. This is a dream I look forward to seeing, praying for”.
Netizens reacting to Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams wrote, “Dreams are free oo! Others went from fishing villages to global cities in one generation. We elect people who chop instead of build. That visa queue go still dey”.
A netizen added, “I declare that Africa shall rise into a new season of development, innovation, good governance, and prosperity. Our youth shall not be forced to leave their homeland in search of survival, but nations shall come to Africa for opportunities, investment, knowledge, and partnership. Africa shall arise and fulfil her divine destiny in Jesus’ name. Amen”.
“Meanwhile, his Son was given a visa to go to the US to live there. Most of his family members are living in the Western world.
If he believes in his dreams and what he is saying, he should first bring his son home and ask his relatives to relocate and live in Ghana or Africa”, one netizen added.
An X user added, “We are the richest continent on paper, but short-term, election-obsessed politics has turned basic human dignity at home into a luxury. Bold words, but who is going to force the execution?”.
One X user added, “I’m sure the whites are saying things in their head. What this pastor is saying is not practical. For how many years now after independence? Jokes on u lot! Thieves who stole from the previous govt are walking freely. U think God put a brain in our heads for what exactly?”
“I have a dream that…” he didn’t say it was prophetic or a manifestation. Just like Kwame Nkrumah had a dream that Africans could manage their own affairs has proven to be an action he was hoping for. Similarly, the archbishop is sharing a vision he hopes can be realised with time”, a netizen added.
“This is not just a dream but aligns with God’s purpose for Africa’s restoration and advancement.
It will come to pass in His perfect timing, as we remain committed in faith, unity, and diligent work across the continent, in Jesus’ name”, one netizen added.
