Ok

Prayer or curse doesn't change any state but hard working and dedication.

The best article I've read here in a very long time.

This is a very good read with alot of truth

Why Nigerians Pray

Asking or praying to be an exception in a failing country is somewhat selfish and unrealistic

tunjijones:
Nigerians have been poor forever so they take solace in prayer.

Prayer give hope. Though it's false hope most times

LoL, false hope all times.

Nteogwuija:
LoL, false hope all times.

False hope all the every time.

Wait o, did i just do tautology

Uyi168:
...
Prayers give people a sense of security. They feel Since they have prayed,they are secured. They are covered. There will be provisions for them. That what happened to others can not happen to them.


In reality,this is all nonsense. They still suffer from what others suffer from. They fall sick. Get kidnapped. Fail exams and Job interviews. Get involved in accidents. Die untimely deaths.

Nigeria is one big evidence that prayers don't work.

prayers works excellently, if you don't understand how it works you will write a full 1 billion pages that it doesn't work....

Prayers wey no dey work

This is the truth they won't teach you in church or mosque

Ambitious21:
Prayer works but most of the things we pray for in Nija doesn't need request from God.

We only need action to put them in place.

Many things dey wey God require your sensitivity to carry them out not prayers.

God is not lazy.

So if we can do all these things by applying action, why do we need to pray?

A lot of people going to church cause the gov is pussy

Nonsense!

Mr wealthy and rich 🙄😒

AngelicDamsel:
Prayer is a spiritual phenomenon.

Every human who believes in a supernatural being prays to it.

This post seems myopic: the writer assumes we pray only to solve problems and many short sighted commenters will agree with him


That there is an inherent economic challenge in Nigeria does not downplay the essense of prayer.

Every nation has it peculiar challenge.
No religion preaches that prayer alone solves problems. Infact, ..... without work is dead!

We pray for different reasons.
For me:
I am rich, healthy, happy and blessed in all areas, yet I pray to commune with my creator because that is the source of true peace.

Peace that passeth human understanding.

Only those who have experience it will understand.

People write about other countries as if they don't have challenges at all, that's definitely not correct. What we see on the media everyday doesn't even portray that and everywhere challenges are, people pray, even in US, UK and many other European nations. To create an idea of an atheist nation, communist China deploys military forces to suppress freedom of worship, and even in that some still go underground risking their very existence than submit to an atheistic and totalitarian government. Everywhere in the world, people pray to communicate with an omnipotent and omniscient God who alone can guide manthrough so many tribulations that exist everywhere in the world. Praying is not peculiar to Nigerians. Men and women of God all over the world pray.

Oh man the nail on the head. But why are we like this? It’s almost as if deep down we know that the situation is not changeable. It’s a way of accepting defeat and it’s really heartbreaking that we’ve all given up

What do Nigerians pray about? They mostly ask for supernatural help to overcome the economic and socio-political challenges, which are mainly the outcome of leadership failures. However, the prayers are often not for help to disrupt the adverse political and economic system, or to change the status quo, but that this system favours them as is. They ask God to make their case different. ‘’There may be poverty in the land but my case will be different.’’ “Bandits may kill hundreds, but Father Lord, my family and I will be safe this new year.’’

if you don’t separate yourself from your distractions

your distractions will separate you from your goals and the life you want


your time and energy are leaking from three cracks

• social media
• overthinking
• meaningless relationships

Instead of productivity hacks, fix these cracks first

GOD IS THE GREATEST

because the government and society have failed them. The only hope left is in sky Daddy and Colonial Gods.

Betterment and long life period

I resist a very strong urge to pray every day.

MrProlific95:
Man has a spiritual component in him. Prayer is thr link between our mortality and the Spiritual

Apt!

Noted

Prayer is the Master Key

We pray more cos of our ancestral backgrounds

Prayer is the Master Key 🗝️ that never disappoints.

Prayers are like fertilizer for those that believe.

omenka1:
Even the bible said it that prayer without works is dead, and only amount to self deceit

Allow them o; they can pray to their heart's content. At least now, governors, religious leaders, and entrepreneurs are channeling investments into constructing church buildings, ensuring enough prayer grounds for all.
