Nigeria is about to clock 49 and it is no better than it started out 49 years ago if not worse. For 49 years, Nigerians have prayed, "may it get better, in Jesus' name", but have these prayers been adequate? Haven't people prayed this same prayer for donkey years and things still remain the same, if not worse? Is it not time that Nigerians put more action than prayer? To me, all this religious talk is to avoid doing the hard work and taking the risks that will rid us of corruption and corrupt people. The people that have truly prayed for this country have done so and things have not changed. Am not doubting the efficacy of prayer, but sometimes, God wants us to do it ourselves, with his help, no doubt, and I think that is the case of Nigeria. We know what is wrong with our country, we know what to do to correct it but we just sit and hope things change automatically. God is not a magician. He doesn't just wave his wand and things become alright. We have to show seriousness by putting effort and God helps us through. It's just like asking God for food and asking him to spoon feed you after providing it. Some Nigerians don't want this country to get better because they are benefiting from the way it is now. I think it's time we stopped using religion as a shield and an excuse if we want things to improve. Or what do you guys think?[color=][/color][color=][/color][color=][/color][color=][/color]

Yes,it is d cus of som of our problems.it is d fada of discriminatin nd moda of political failure.

WHY WOULD NIGERIANS PRAY TO "JESUS" ANYWAYS??

HAVEN'T YOU READ ALEX HALEY'S "ROOTS" BEFORE?

IN FACT, HAVEN'T YOU READ THE BIBLE BEFORE??

To answer the question, yes! Religion is usually a setback in ALL development,

Maybe we need to gather all energetic and objective minded individuals for a serious intellectual revolution.
