Some of you think that prayer is all about comfortable life. While Jesus was on earth he prayed a lot. Prayer is a fellowship with God. Scripture says pray without ceasing. Prayer has nothing to do with your need first or your challenges. Prayer should become a character of a Christian. It's a core of your Christian life.

It reminds me of a work colleague who always prayed that God will right his girlfriend from cheating continuously. I didn’t know which way to tell him that it was a waste of manpower.

Rebelutionary:
Well, you are correct but the reality of many Nigerian Christians contradicts this and you can't blame them.

Why?

Needs
Needs
Needs

When you're praying that God should touch the heart of Nepa to bring light among other sundry nonsense.

Even the person preaching is in Need of the basics and what do you expect them to preach.

This is not to justify all the "my belly called me into ministry" people but one things leads to another. Unfortunately so!

Your statement:

Nobody will go to church in Nigeria if basic amenities are available in Nigerians for free. The churches used the opportunity to scam their gullible one, they have been shouting witches witches but witches refused to finish in the country.


So why are there thousands of churches filled up? Or when videos of that one show, your brain dey interprete am as motivational show?
You choose to be faithless, your choice, your life. But billions doing very well still believe in God.

khalling2008:
I dont think you have information about how Christians and the churches are reducing in the world, Church attendance in nigeria does not necessarily reflect global trends. Christianity has declined in some Western nations, it continues to grow in part of Nigeria because of the hardship of the country and the pastor and church used the opportunity to scam their gullible one.

The more the church increased in Nigeria the more the poverty rate increase, the more the pastors shouting witches and wizard, the more the witches are increasing. The more the churches shouting fire the more the fire in Nigeria



oh sorry, because the poverty rate in Nigeria that make people seek for miracle in the churches is deceiving you that people are many in the churches

APOPTOSIS:
See mentality.
Most Nigerians are deeply terrible.
Must he have issues to remember God?
Does he have to remember God through prayers?
We need overhauling of ideologies and mentality across that country

ogascomax:
I went on twitter make you come see insult on top someone comments. Most Nigerians just believe that travelling abroad is like an escape velocity. Why are they not talking about the same White people that good numbers of them take their own lives due to depression. Those guys still go a lot there. I have friends in UK especially that speaks of challenges that many Nigerians also experienced. Some are too ashame to come back home. Even the way we pray for grace and favour even in Europe and USA they pray the same too. The rate of homelessness in USA is far more than Nigeria. The number is massive. Shelters everywhere and some people want to whine us here.
It's not all green for all that depart at the end of the day.
Finally, some people don't even understand the essence of prayer and fellowship with God that is why once they are comfortable they abandoned God.

Anybody born in Nigeria that spent all his years in Nigeria deserves to be given a free pass to paradise because he has already passed through his own hell fire in Nigeria.


One of the ways Nigeria can get better is to unbundle Nigeria into small countries comprising of people that share the same ethnicity, culture, tradition, religious belief and dialect/language. This will reduce internal friction like tribal division, religious intolerance and ethnic sabotage within the government.



It will help Nigerians manage their small nations.


The current structure of Nigeria gives room for dangerous tribalism by leaders like can be seen being practiced by President Tinubu today and it will continue to cause dissatisfaction from the other tribes who feel left out. Dividing Nigeria into smaller nations will also make it easier for a typical Nigerian black man to manage and control.


This forceful union called Nigeria where some people use tribalism and religious division to cause trouble in Nigeria for their selfish gainst can never allow Nigeria to reach its potentials.



Alternatively, Nigeria can be restructured completely and the power vested in Federal government removed and handed over to regions and states. President focuses on external affairs and national security (external threats). Without this, Nigeria will continue to struggle without a headway, sadly

dauntless15:
Lol blame pastors who brainwashed them into being like that.

mmsen:
You already have states that have been unbundled, what good has that done any of you?

While I'm not religious, he's saying absolute nonsense. American pastors are some of the richest worldwide, why's that?

SixSeven:
It's obvious that the people you pray for in Nigeria are the demons themselves that's why you need prayer for them.

Is it the pastor who is at fault or the parent?

“Since I moved to America, I no longer pray for 20 minutes” – Man compares life abroad to Nigeria

A Nigerian man has stirred reactions online after sharing how relocating to America changed his perspective on prayer, jobs, and governance.

In a viral video shared on X (formerly Twitter), he claimed that many of the things people spend hours praying and fasting for in Africa have already been provided through effective systems and government structures in developed countries.

“Since I came to America, I no longer pray for 10 minutes, 20 minutes. What am I praying for? The things that I used to pray back home in Africa for God to provide for me, I came to Yankee and saw that the government and the system have already provided those things for people.”

According to him, many Africans have been conditioned to pray for basic necessities because governments have failed to provide opportunities and essential services for citizens.

He recalled how he used to spend time praying and fasting for employment after graduating from university, only to discover later that many of the jobs people prayed for were either unavailable or reserved for those with political connections.

“I could remember when I was back home in Nigeria, those days after I graduated, I would pray 30 minutes, 40 minutes, fasting to get jobs.

And I came to Yankee and realized that I was wasting my time back home in Nigeria praying for some things. First of all, we pray to get jobs back home in Africa, and those jobs are not really there.”

The man’s comments have continued to spark debate online, with some agreeing with his views on governance and opportunity, while others maintained that prayer remain important regardless of location.

One user wrote, “He’s saying the truth. Good governance solves many problems.”

Another added, “Prayer is still important no matter where you live.”
