Prayer without serious dedicated hard work is useless.

I still wonder how prayer hinder people from progressing in life, that narrative to me still sounds as funny as MR Ibu look. Christians and Muslims are among people doing well in every aspect of life, both black and white races. Funny enough, I hardly go to Church, but I have prayed and enjoyed the benefits of prayer that’s for me tho. Nonetheless, my wife goes to Church regularly and always participate in one or two things, as always want to contribute. Yet she’s not lazy, not broke, not jobless.. doing well !!! Reason I don’t see people who pray as lazy, laziness is cut across every tribes and races….. U might never step the Church all ur life and yet lazy as snail.

descarado:

What has it achieved for you. Buhari, Jonathan, obi, atiku, tinubu all go to mosque and church everyday. Are they still not Nigerian politicians?

The thing is in Nigeria we mistake mentally deranged people in the pulpit as hearing from God.
Majority of us are schizophrenic. That's a mental illness. We hear voices speaking to us, we see visions and hallucinate. We call that vision but it is what it is. Schizophrenia and cos we don't have mental hospitals and don't ever discuss mental illnesses, we dismiss them with prayers and fasting.

Stress alone can cause mental illness and we have loads of that.
We tend to take what we want and throw away the rest cos it does not suite our narrative since we profess to be spiritual.

All are third world nations
Are you surprised?🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

saintol:
Then of what relevance is being prayerful to the development of a nation?

Prayer is not a cure for underdevelopment. Read your Bible.

How selfless of Nigeria to pray for the well being of the rest of the world and not themselves.
This truly shows the effectiveness of prayer.

hopefulLandlord:


Or maybe prayers are useless?

Just because it can't change things externally doesn't mean it's useless. Prayer can be useful for the person praying. It can help people change outlooks, and make changes in their lives as well just like meditation does.

Even una Israel no dey the list

God's Chosen People don't have to pray ... they were already chosen ... just waiting for the Pearly Gates to open and be the first to rush in and wait and watch us line up to answer life questions to decide if we will be let in ... or shoved down the chute that leads to the Satan gang headquarters.

Makes sense

Na why we dey backward like mutulas

Peppysco:


Dem just show you stats of countries wey nor dey too pray and how dem better pass your prayerfull country and you still dey urge more people to continue to dey pray, continue.

As God answered those country down there
He will surely answer us one day.
Let keep praying!!!

Cruise777:
Lazy people

If not for prayer, We would have gone into extermination of Ourselves.......

You don't understand the level of Wickedness in this Country!

Racoon:
Meanwhile, the same prayers have not taken us to Eldorado. However China, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan are not among the most prayerful. Over-Spirituality without works is dead.

Nonsense... Most Asians in your listed country had household idols they burned incense to. They even worship their dead grandparent

Funny how the countries in this list are 5th world country not even 3rd

Most Nigerians people are WICKED.

After prayers the hate and tribalism take the centre stage.

Mad people everywhere.

The Bible say faith, prayers without work is dead prayer alone cannot develop a country and make the economy of this country good...it's the work...it's good goverance that develop a country and the economy

mamaafrik:




islam is common amidst them,why

Ignorant bastardzzz apprehended

Even those countries that do not even pray much are better than nigeria... nigerians even Japa to those countries that do not even pray much prayer

And these two nations are ruled by criminals..

Hmm

That is why the country is like this .. nigerians and politcians just pray and fold hands for God to come and perform magic and to come and develop the country and economy

ovieigho:
Devil is trying to stray you away from praying ….

USA dedicate a day in the country for thanksgiving….

Prayer works , don’t let devil put up wrong statistics to devalue prayer

Nobody is saying praying isn’t good. But praying without good works to follow it up is rubbish!!

God can not be mocked. Afterall he said I will bless the works of your hands. So what will God bless when there’s no work of our hands?

kettykin:
This is really funny,is God answering the prayers of least praying countries and ignoring the prayers of most praying countries

They work more and pray less. But 50/50 has it best.

Adura O'lododo....... 🤔

talented321:
That's why the poverty rate is so high..

Are you saying there is correlation between poverty snd prayers?

minasu190:
That is why we are blessed with numerous natural resources, sadly, we are not blessed with good leaders and individual problems as Nigerians, we pray against our enemies, forgetting that we are also the enemy of my brothers.
Religious bigotry and ethnicity have weakened the strength of our dear country, we are the most prayerful country but what has changed so far? Not that God is not with us , but we are against ourselves..we need LOVE, regardless of the religions or tribes.

Excuse me, what do you see in Nigeria that suggests god is with us?
By the way, looking at your statement that means If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31) is a lie then?

The list funny die, all of them are useless. As in very very very useless!!! Damn!

caye:


Don't worry.
By the time we start borrowing from IMF and repaying at 150% of our GDP, and the Asians FULLY colonise many parts of Nigeria, you will see explosion of suicide.

Just dey wait.
Keep on praying o.
You've been praying enmasse since 1970s, yet it has gone from bad to worse. Keep praying o.
Pentecostal movement ( CIA FUNDED) took storm from the 80s, yet Nigeria is now arguable the country with the highest no of poverty stricken, hopeless citizens in the world. Thanks to IMF/ world Bank and the house nieggers.

Keep on praying o.

Would you blame God for stupidity of your government?
Is it the responsibility of God to build our roads and other infrastructures? Is it the responsibility of God to come and barely and sorghum to feed our teeming population?

There's a place of God and the place of wisdom in the scheme of things.... if you failed to make use of God's provisions to improve your situation in life, then, salvation may be far away from you.

Some parts of Kogi, Benue, Plateau and other middle-belts states in Nigeria has the most fertile land that is enough to feed the entire Sub-Saharan West Africa if properly harnessed...

Is it the of God that we chose to borrow rather than cultivating the land? Is the fault of God that our government is borrowing from IMF, World Bank, Chinese Government, Paris Club and other places available without any infrastructure to show for it.

Is it not unfortunate that a banker in Nigeria will resign from his banking job to go and become a fruit picker in Canada? Is it not funny that a lecturer with PhD certificate in Nigeria is applying to become a truck driver in Canada?...

Summary, if not for the mercies of God, our government wants everyone to die so that they can cash out on our dead bodies.... Remember the days of COVID-19 and their daily fraudulent statistics not forgetting restriction of movements and nationwide palliatives scam.

You will not be right to blame God for the woes of this country... That would be a huge hypocrisy.

dominique:
How will such prayers work when a huge percentage of the prayerful religious people are hypocrites with filthy mindsets? The same sets of people that won't hesitate to cheat, backstab, back bite or pull down his/her fellow humans yet they keep bragging about how prayerful from morning till night. Let's not talk about people commiting all sorts of fornication and adultery yet pride themselves as prayer warriors. Honestly looking at the way majority of Nigerians behave, I think we truly deserve the predicament we found ourselves today. The worst type of prayer is that from the mouth of an hypocrite. You're mocking God and you will continue to incur his wrath!

Yet countries that don't give a fvck your god are far better. What can you say about it?

And china is 1%

So we're only 5% for the obodo naija
