Praying and going to work are not exclusive of each other. Only a man who doesn't really believe in God will tell you to "stop praying and go to work", since praying does not prevent you from going to work and vice versa.

Religion makes people lazy n a nation less productive n more corrupt

The idea of expecting a helper has made many people lazy

Commentor:


Leave that thing.

I have met Nigerians abroad who wouldn't work.

They prefer cheating the state or going all out for fraud.

Commentor:


Those investing billions of dollars in the LFTZ aren't complaining.

They must be living in a different world.

Bloody ripper and dishonourable minister of darkness. So I shouldn't pray again right? No wonder you have left nigerians in total darkness so that you can continue to perpetrate evil with your cohorts. As for me i will always pray and hustle. Praying and hustling is why I ain't broke and will never be. Only fools will take your words like a guy said up there. #Meekmill

egopersonified:


It really surprises me when people say Nigerians are lazy. I don't agree. Everyone around me is hustling. The proper word might be that we are not creative or dont have visions or plans or even think things through before acting. But lazy we are not.

Karleb:
How about we stop praying and start working?

If Fashola's message were a comprehensive passage in waec from which you were asked to draw a summary in 2 sentences, you'd simply have failed woefully. It amazes me most times, when a supposedly future of Nigeria posts such a comment as this, bereft of reason. Fashola said we should stop praying to much and get to work instead( not that we should not pray at all). Read the book of James. I leave the chapter and verse as an assignment for you, in which the bible said exactly what fashola said. Lazy youth like you.

When they say Nigerians are lazy we mean intellectually lazy ...they work hard not smart

This is 2019 smart rules

DCmonster:
Mumu! Tell me the chapter and verse. Read what you wrote again and see how stupid you sound. Don't quote me again you useless broke ass.

And does the system create avenue for creativity, innovation and outside the box system.

If you don't know, present day Nigeria is at the level of development the developed world were in the early 1990s. When ordinary basic electricity we can't have basic steady light when other developing Nations have 100s of thousands of megawatts generation of power.

mrvitalis:

Problem creates innovation for those who are smart enough

With the problems that abound in Nigeria of the average Nigerian is innovative u would know

We have few innovative people ...Nigerians are good at doing what they are told to do ...nothing more

If u are an employer of labour u would know this

djon78:



Nigerians are innovative
When exposed to the factor conditions that will breed innovation
That's why they do well in developed advanced countries where the tools are available
But here, the environment is programmed to kill innovation

mrvitalis:

We have all the condition that breeds innovation ...which is problems what else do u need u want to be innovation when u are relaxed ?

Necessity is the mother of inventions

If he had solved rocket science electricity when he was minister of power we surely will be working.

If he had finished the light railway we won't be spending 5 hours to get home every day.

If he was repairing our roads and building social housing maybe most of us would have been working.

If his boss was managing our economy properly most of us would be working surely.

If this government was creating a good environment for investors to invest we all would have been working.
