The Emir of Daura, Alhaji Umar Farouq on Saturday led residents of Daura town in a special prayer against the new, deadly coronavirus pandemic.

The 84-year-old Emir, during the prayer session held at the foreground of his palace, asked residents to see the horrific virus as a test from the Almighty Allah and intensify prayers against the outbreak, along with other untimely death-related diseases.

The Emir, while describing the outbreak as deadliest than Boko Haram, believes that if it persists, in the next two months everyone will find his way into begging.

He, however, directed all Qur’anic school teachers and clerics of all sects to immediately shut down their respective centers in strict compliance with the state government’s policy.

“It’s unfortunate that Saudi authority has suspended both lesser and annual hajj pilgrimage in fear of the outbreak,” Umar added.

Nigeria currently has 12 confirmed cases of the new coronavirus which has infected more than 250,000 people across the world and killed over 10,000.

Nice one. Like play like play, this virus is spreading gradually in Nigeria. May God almighty protect us and put an end to this global pandemic

Lalasticlala

Please educate our people that it’s not about prayer


It’s about self distancing which they are ignorant of like the prayer session they held

Babzrockman:

Are you for real ?

Nigeria stand no chance against this virus.......

But Northern Nigeria.....

I won't say a word

Lol! All this head slammers are really deluded.

Na only Dem Sabi pray. Tell these people to avoid unnecessary gathering. Pray in your houses if you must pray.
All we do is pray, meanwhile nothing to show.

I am telling u. As if their prayers has solved any problem before

If una like, make una pray from now till next year it won't solve anything . It's pragmatic steps that will solve what's at hand. Besides Prayers has never solved any Nigeria problems before.

I dey tell you! God is angry, instead of them to give their lives to Christ, they are still busy slamming their heads for the Arabian god.

It's about prayer and protection coupled with adherence to the medical practitioners warnings.

People should be more hygienic and sanitation of hands should be everyone's priority.

This hullabaloo and fear won't help us, it will just bring disorderliness.

we will survive this. Insha Allah..

Before posting a comment, I tried to do a Google search on the level of education this particular Emir has but I couldn't find any. Even Wikipedia was silent on his education qualification.

So I believe this prayer he organized with hundreds of his subject in attendance contrary to the social distancing FG is promoting; is something he did in ignorance. I mean it is only lack of education that will make someone take this kind of step despite radios and TV's blaring messages discouraging social and religious gatherings.

But then again, even the head of federal government whose health minister has been preaching social distancing was seen shaking hands on camera two days ago ( Before u argue this, check the calender on the wall)

Rub hands afterwards


Too much sense dey worry una

awon morafhuker.

Praying against COVID19? WTF!!!


Why are we so fvcking religious in this part of the world?

Corona virus vs Boko haram, which is more deadly than the other ?

As if your yours has ever solved any problem on earth

Nigeria citizens have been brainwashed with religion. Note, Prayer of a fool is not acceptable unto God. Wise country are busy researching the root cause and panacea to COVID 19, Nigeria are busy in the propaganda. In no time, they will be selling the vaccine to us and making money and Nigeria government will be using our scarce money to buy the covid 19 vaccine. Covid 19 has exposed the Nigerian pastors and imams that religion in Nigeria is used for both deceit and money making.
