Make wise use of digital space, AI – Olugbemi charges Christians
by Musliudeen Adebayo · Daily PostA member of the Governing Council/Board of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria, CIBN, Dr. Bayo Olugbemi, has appealed to Christians to make wise use of opportunities in the digital space and artificial intelligence.
Olugbemi, who spoke on Saturday, noted that there are many opportunities online, in the digital space and in artificial intelligence that people can tap into to earn a good living.
He made the remarks while addressing participants at the Regional Men’s Convention of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Mount Zion Cathedral, in Ibadan.
Olugbemi, while addressing the congregation, explained that there are numerous opportunities in the digital space and artificial intelligence.
He revealed that there are many opportunities within and outside the church that Christians can utilise in order to live independently and attain financial stability.
Speaking further, Olugbemi said the number of poor people would reduce if people made use of the available opportunities.
He said, “There are opportunities in the digital space. Artificial intelligence is there. Let us make use of the opportunities because opportunities abound in our churches and outside the churches.
“This life is full of risks; you must take risks to survive. In business, you take risks. So, don’t procrastinate. It kills dreams. The best thing is to do it now. Do it today.
“To succeed requires knowledge and action. We are to inspire our generation. Whatever you want to do, do it with all your heart. Seek professional help before taking any action. Whoever you want to consult must be a real professional.
“There are a lot of opportunities out there in the digital space and online. Artificial Intelligence is another area.”
A social scientist, Pastor Taiwo Babatope, while addressing the gathering, urged members of the congregation not to wait until they fall sick before seeking medical attention.
He said it is cheaper to prevent diseases than to seek a cure.
Babatope said, “Don’t wait till you fall sick before seeking medical attention. Prevention, they say, is better than cure.”
