This is another proof that citizens of a small country located off the coast of west Africa praying to Israeli and Arab gods have no effect in reality

Nigeria population that's filled with Christian and Muslim majority pray to Yahweh and Allah for long life and prosperity but reality shows these prayers fail as prayer for prosperity has only gotten Nigeria branded "Poverty Capital of the World"

Prayer for long life is also failing as these prayers have failed to raise our life expectancy, on the contrary our life expectancy has only reduced to 52. the 6th worst in the world


Let's now compare a Nigeria that prays to a Jewish and Arab god to a Japan that's filled with atheists who don't even acknowledge these middle eastern gods let alone pray to them.

Japan that don't pray against poverty is regarded to be one of the richest countries in the world

Japan whose citizens don't pray to Jewish and Arab gods for long life has life expectancy of 83.7 years. the highest in the whole world

For how long would we keep going through this futile exercise of praying to Arab and Jewish gods and keep deceiving ourselves that these prayers are working despite verifiable evidence to the contrary staring us in the face? For how long would we keep putting our fate in the hands of foreign gods and expecting them to help us?

While Buhari's incompetence hasn't helped, let's not pretend that the blame here is entirely his, or even the entire political class alone. Who is it that consistently votes in governors who steal and squander whatever little is left over from paying salaries to bloated public sectors, other than the masses themselves? Who celebrates incompetents who build white elephant office complexes in places where no private firms have expressed any interest in relocating to? When people obsess over government workers salaries, to the exclusion of basics like decent roads, clean water and primary healthcare facilities, is it any wonder that life expectancy in Nigeria remains abysmally low? How can 80% of a state's budget be going exclusively to the payment of salaries for "workers", most of whom do no real work? Yet anyone who dares to tamper with this ridiculous state of affairs is lambasted by the very same voters who suffer the consequences of wasting so much money on such irrelevancies, even though the same sums could dramatically improve the quality of life for millions if used judiciously.

At heart, Nigeria's problem is twofold: a poorly educated electorate still rooted in "tribal" clientelism, and an almost complete disconnect between revenue raising and distribution, which saps the public's incentive to closely oversee how public funds are used. Until the "federal allocation" system is abolished, and quality mass education is introduced nationwide, Nigeria will continue to be a useless, ailing "giant" whose only "strength" is popping out huge numbers of children whose parents can't afford to take proper care of them.
