To each their own......Believe in whatever you believe.

As for me and my family WE BELIEVE IN GOD and we always pray for PEACE in the Land and for our leaders to get it right!

For how long have you been praying for Peace yet things are more hostile. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. We need actions.

The problem with naija is a foundational one, until they overhaul and reevaluate how EVERYTHING is been done, lawlessness & debilitating poverty will prevail.

But you live abroad na. And you are deceiving Nigerians with prayer. Next year will be epic. People—both Christians and Muslims—were lamenting about Buhari on my way from work. It seems Nigerians are getting tired and that war we have been avoiding will be fought next year. I want to see how Hausas will defeat all southerners to impose Buhari on us. It will be a war to relish. At the end, Donald Trump will intervene and boot Buhari out.The Americans already have intel on the President’s activities against a large section(Christians) of his own citizens. Fingers crossed.

crooked politician, telling people to pray instead of just putting Rules and Regulations that will stop further Accidents.

something is wrong some were he say? isn't it his job find out what is wrong and were it's wrong?

Anyway Nigerians are so gullible they will still believe this crook and carry on praying and nothing will change.

We have been praying.....
We have been writing r.i.p since when yansh dey back..
We have been lamenting..
We have cried. ..
We have protest.. But

Nobody have taken any steps to amend all that is wrong with this country. politician or citizen,old or young, rich or poor, we have done nothing.

Your prayers, R.i.p, laments, protest and thought on social media is only valid until the next tragedy. I bet many people have forgotten about Leah Sharibu in the custody of the terrorists group Boko Haram.

Words are not working, we need to start acting

sars brutality, herdsmen killing, terrorism in the north, suicidal cases, kidnapping, accidents, preventive deaths, plateu killings, tanker explosion and who knows what next if all we do is to come online and type r.i.p.

"We (youths) are the leaders of tomorrow" they say, but hear me, tomorrow is not next month or next year or when you are 50, tomorrow is already here, it is today and we can't change tomorrow if we do not change today first.

So get up! Use your brain and let's make a difference together. Nigeria cannot be saved by one man.

They'll never listen.. they're too gullible and Foolish to realize. They'll rather hail and adulate politicians and celebs instead instead of being objective and rational.

Continue praying there, just continue. Like the way the Israelites prayed their way to the promise land without walking, or the way King David defeated all his enemies without lifting a sword abi? Be deceiving yourself there. Look, there are reasons why a nation remains poor with or without prayer

You see, many of those lashing out at him strongly believe in God and perhaps pray more than you have ever done. Obviously you are short sighted to reason along the line.

None up there said that they should not 'pray', but they are also rational to 'watch' as well. when you leave one for the other there's always a repercussion. When you pray, it become more effective if you do that which is in your part to compliment it. Neglect it and you face agonising situations.

God will not formulate our policies, programmes and procedures for us. He has done His part already, you, have you done your part? Meanwhile these polithiefians are very hypocritical, they will appear on social media as angels and go behind to loot all your little contributions to the development of your state(tax payers money). open your eyes bro.

Don't allow your emotional attachment to your religion blind and cripple your reasoning faculty.

If truly prayers work, then it's for Nigerians to pray people like you out of leadership positions because you're the problem of Nigeria.

Prayer is not d solution dey all need to checkmate themselve. Besides we need reasonable people who knws what to do at d right time, who care for d welfare of d people and careless about looting our money.

And if he believes d solution is prayer then let him sacrifice himself for Nigeria

Letenwam:
Nollywood actor and a lawmaker representing Surulere constituency in the Lagos State assembly, Desmond Elliot, has suffered a backlash after he asked Nigerians to pray following the sad incidents that have occurred in Nigeria.

Desmond Elliot stated in his tweet, that so much is happening in the country at the moment and we need to pray for our land because something is wrong somewhere. His tweet reads;

God have mercy , God have mercy , God have mercy.
I cannot tell what’s going on but this much I know something isn’t right somewhere . We need to pray for our land . The calamity is too much in one week so many lives lost . Lord have mercy on your people . Many children are not seeing their fathers , mothers , aunts and uncles . Many left home today never to return home . Lord have mercy !!!! PEACE IN THE LAND .. north south east and west . Lord pour out your peace upon us once again , mercy lord have mercy . To all lagosians , all families affected today . We may not know but o my God . Comfort us o lord . Mmm

However the lawmaker was called out for asking people to pray, as his followers questioned his contribution in Lagos State since he got elected. Here are some of the exchanges below;
