We are the most prayerfull nation on earth, and we are known allover the world, as the bedrock of nationwide corruption, scamming and fraudulent activities.
our society is decayed in all ramifications and yet we are one of the most religious country in the world, does that even make sense?
It makes perfect sense because religion is about lies, deception and power.

The very bedrock for Islam and Christianity are lies written in the so-called 'holy' books.

Well, the fact is we are yet to see a country in the world that got better through prayer. As a matter of fact, the most economically stunted and socially repressed countries also happen to be among the most religious. One of the major weakness of religion is that it has way too many similarities with opioids - gives you a sense of wellness by diverting your attention from your problems.

May God forgives you. I know he is rich in mercy but be mindful of blasphemy.
seriously? You couldn't make sense of what he said, rather you considered it blasphemous. Honestly, you folks deserve the hardship and recession going on in the country.

Christianity is not a religion but a way of life, and if the values of your religion does not reflect on your day to day activities, then whats the whole use of the religion u claim u accept?.
Blame the people who keep wallowing in hypocrisy and not the religion itself.

Most Nigerian learders are empty n silly.
Have u ever heard Obama, Putin, Markel and other world learders open their mouth to say Prayer is the solution to their National or Economic issues or Ever read Japan, China, India used prayers for their Economic development?
Its only in Nigeria Government and pastors join together to feast on the poor masses in d name of prayers.
Its funny when u go to our markets, offices, busses etc. U see people praying.
Even on Nairaland u see people singing ''God answer my call ohh'' While u sat at home pressing phone no Action
We dont need prayers to succeed, we only need to work hard
Most Nigerians are deluded
Fools.
Prayer is as useless as pouring water inside a basket.. Prayer doesn't grow the economy, it does not grow the leg of amputees. It doesn't do anything for humanity. Prayer is just another form of superstition

Your post shows just how dimwitted you are.
I dear say you do not possess the intellectual prowess to read or the cognitive depth required to comprehend what you read.
Everyone thinks atheism is the new word for intelligence, so now even individuals with a sub-average intellectual function, who hardly or never introspect see this ridiculous bandwagon as a means of escaping the harsh reality of being intellectually inferior to most.
The senator was clearly stating facts, and you just somehow saw it as an opportunity to spew insolent vile garbage assertions about religion from who knows where, because I am absolutely certain you did not consult your dormant brain before posting.
Just vain glorious expletives.. You succeeded in seeing nothing.. Too many contrive grammer in an attempt to cut across as intelligent but with no substance whatsoever to the issues that suave gentle raised. Try again and be civil this time.

Ihavespoken:
Its sad when any disaster happens in Nigeria for example I was on a night bus sometime ago and 30 minutes into the journey, the driver complained that the fan belt of the engine keep disuntegrating.

Every ten minutes the driver stops to adjust the fan belt in the middle on nowhere at 12am midnight. The only solution most fellow passengers could think of is to keep shouting and speaking in tongues "What is wrong with Africans".

Not more than one person including me out of 50 persons suggested a proactive approach to the problem like asking the driver to call his bosses for a sound bus, finding the nearest police station to park for safety or looking for a nearby mechanic to sort the problem.

All they could think of was to speak in tongues, I weep for Nigeria.

The mentality of most Nigerians is next to a monkey.

Do I believe in prayers? Yes I do.
Is it the only solution to a problem? No its not, it needs to be backed up with creative thinking and firm action.


Nigerians make prayer seem like a joke, when Americans say God bless America, they do so because they have done everyother aspects of the task and God is asked to oversee all that has been done.
Bros.. I was nodding in agreement and revelment to your writing until I got to the bolded..

Prayer is as useless as flogging a dead horse. It does not grow the economy, it does not grow the leg of amputees. I thought prayer is all and all? Why does it then require "work and backup with creative action/thinking" to be effective? This is a fallacy in the highest order

flamingREED:
How can a sinful nation pray and God will hear?

Jesus stated it clearly:

REPENT_



After that,

The bible is clear on attitude to wealth:
2 Timothy 2
5 And if a man(a nation) also strive for MASTERIES, yet is he(it) not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
6 The HUSBANDMAN that LABOURETH must be first partaker of the fruits.

What God does is to turn on the genes of excellence(which are limited in the sinner)
But you must fully express them after you're born again.

Every human, in every part of the world has in them the tendency to be idle/lazy.
Laziness is sin. Adam had work to do in Eden.
The Bible says an idle father is an infidel. It condemns indolence in several passages.

Second,
The government must create an enabling environment for the full expression of our potentials.

It's factual that potentials can be hampered if they're not enabled in a habitat.
Our leaders must really love us from their hearts without nepotism and all manner of cruelty!

See how the three - God, the leader and the righteous roll-

Daniel 1
9 Now God had brought Daniel into FAVOUR and TENDER LOVE with the PRINCE of the eunuchs.
17 As for these four children, GOD GAVE THEM KNOWLEDGE AND SKILL IN ALL LEARNING AND WISDOM: AND DANIEL HAD UNDERSTANDING IN ALL VISIONS AND DREAMS.
20 AND IN ALL MATTERS OF WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING, that the king inquired of them, he found them TEN TIMES BETTER THAN ALL THE MAGICIANS AND ASTROLOGERS THAT WERE IN ALL HIS REALM.
Lolzzz.... This Oga still believes in all these fraud in the 21st century.

People of Denmark could careless about your god and religion and yet they are one of the most prosperous and happiest countries to live on earth..

Re: Nigeria's Problem Is Not Prayer - Ben Murray-Bruce by intrepid: 2:36pm On Oct 22, 2016
It's time for intelligent work by intelligent people. We pray daily and will continue to but, "Faith without works is DEAD!!!

He has: while the rest of you are praying for miracles, he has made himself a very wealthy man.
true true
But his business is in receivership
And I haven't seen him do anything productive
He is a met importer of entertainment
No value added to the Nigerian project
So he has failed in my book.
Until I see somebody with mega farm industrial park or mega mine
They're all talking nonsense
