Publicity stunt. He can pray silently in the car and God will answer.

People keep subscribing to it each passing moment...

Yes. And that's because it tends to make them become more irresponsible and thoughtless

It's not bad but this outward display won't make God answer prayers any faster. A minute of bowed head in the car would be as effective.

I hope all you religious people are paying attention to how your emotional crutch is used as a tool of manipulation.
Several things are used as tools of manipulation.
Not all religious men fall for such. Religion is not always evil.

Religion is one the most potent tools used.

Why else would people sit around talking to the sky?

Why else would poor people give money to rich men in exchange for nothing?

When was the last time you heard of an atheist suicide bomber?

Religion may not always be evil but it isn't helpful. Wilfull ignorance should never be tolerated.

IMO STATE GOVERNMENT HOUSE, OWERRI
PRESS RELEASE
SUBJECT:  IMO GOVERNMENT DENIES OWING WORKERS ELEVEN MONTHS SALARY ARREARS
 
Some Patriotic Nigerians and Imo citizens in particular have been inundating senior officials of the Imo State Government with phone calls following reports in some reputable National newspapers including the Vanguard, New Telegraph, Guardian among others, that the Owelle Rochas Okorocha’s government is owing workers in the state eleven (11) months salary arrears or thereabout.
 
The report in question made front page stories of some of the newspapers concerned and as a government, we owe Nigerians the correct information on the workers salary in Imo which is completely opposite of the media reports.  And whatever claim we make in this refutal, we stand to be contradicted.
 
Again, in all the reports, the source of the story or the source from where the information in the case of Imo state came from was never made clear and that lacuna also heightened our suspicion that those who lost the governorship election in the state in April 2015, must have volunteered such falsehood.  We are not worried about that since we can always state the truth of the matter.  We see the whole report as unfortunate and a deliberate effort to hit at the Rescue Mission government in the state.
 
The truth is that Imo state government does not owe the civil servants or the teachers who constitute the government workers in the state eleven months salary arrears and not even two months salary arrears.  We are making this claim to be contradicted with verifiable fact.
 
The Imo state government only owes its civil servants the month of May salary.  Ditto, the teachers in the state.   And the payment for that month is at the verge of being made.  We have decided to make this factual claim on the salaries of the civil servants and teachers in the state so that those behind the report can come out with their own facts to back their claim.
 
In the case of parastatals, the government has equally be living up to expectations with regard to payment of their salaries expect few of them where the government’s verification panels discovered irritating padding of salaries for non-existent staff and where high-profiled corruption was uncovered.  And the government had for the umpteenth time said it would only pay those in the affected parastatals when the issues in question must have been rectified.
 
So, it is left for those behind the report with some of them quoting a source from the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, to come out and fault our claims or refutal.  We would like to be faulted on our claim that we are owing the civil servants only the month of May salary and the same development with the teachers.  These are the workers in the state we believe the NLC source quoted in the reports must have talked about.
 
If the newspapers that wrote the story on the claimed debt of eleven months salary arrears owed the civil servants and teachers in the state discover at the end of the day that we are right in our claims contrary to the reports under reference, we expect that as reputable and widely read tabloids, they would massage us by retracting the report at least for the sake of the heard-earned reputation of the Rescue Mission government in the state.
 
The government in Imo state with Governor Rochas Okorocha on the driver’s seat shall continue to be truthful and honest about its claims and counter-claims on issues for the sake of history and posterity.

Including those camera men? Did dey know that he will stop and pray? Or its already planned, hence alerting the media to cover it?

If he had parked the convoy @ one corner of the road,and then tell he who want to pray to do so, will he DIE?


I hate any news about this devil in human form. this hypocrite that has refused to pay his workers for 11months, yet he has the guts to invite the media simply because he wants to pray. Which God is he praying to?

The prayer of the unrighteous ( the corrupt, wicked and oppressor, etc ) is an abomination before God. These politicians must first seek the face of good by repenting and making restitution to the oppressed masses of nigeria for all their loot.

Forget that charade. grin tongue grin Its for people that don't know him well. The same person that prays openly will still go to dark hidden places at night and commit all sorts of rituals in order to retain power. Who is deceiving who. GOD IS WATCHING AND HE KNOWS HIS PEOPLE.
