Ahead of 2007 elections,another aspirant killed.where are we heading to in nigeria.i think it is high time we start to pray sincerely and fervently daily for our great country in our closet,because i know prayer changes situations for better.this is our jerusalem,the bible says in psalm 122:6 that we should pray for the peace of jerusalem ,they shall prosper that love thee. Nigeria is our jerusalem

it is not by travelling abroad but by seeking the god that is above.
Let us be on our knees and i know when men pray ,it wil move the mighty hands of god .it has happen b4 and i know it can happen again,the children of isrealites cried unto god and he answers.

This is a clarion call.

It is well with with Nigeria!

We can start now


Let there be peace come time for elections and may we have a leader that puts the needs of Nigerians before his/her needs.
In Jesus name we pray - Amen

I don't believe in this.

@ Otokx
You are not alone.  I agree with you.

Yes, the country has a plethora of problems.  If there is anything that the country lacks, definitely, prayer is not one of them. Nigeria is swimming in an avalanche of prayers, yet her problem has not abated.

Looking back now I think religion has done us more harm than corruption in this country. The armed robber pays his tithe to the pastor who prays to God to give him more increase so what are we talking about?

it doesn't mean we can't still pray and hope for nigeria. people have faith

let us all keep hope alive, at the end of the tunnel there is always light.we should not all be discourage by what is happening around us. after all the isrealites were afflicted in the hand s of the Egyptians for 400 years and just one day God heard there cry.

otokx,u beta believe in it now ,it might not be for the sake of ur generation but for the generation yet unborn.
God bless u nilla ,we need pple like u that still believe in praying for Nigeria .THere is no other way than for us all to believe in NIgeria.America is where they are now because they believe in America,THe japanese economy is one of the best in the world to day because they choose to believe and appreciate what they have,let us emulate them too ,we will be great too.it is just a matter of time.
Nigeeia yi ti gbogbo wa ni .ko ma gbodo baje ,meaning Nigeria belongs to us all,we should not allow the things to fall apart.
let us keep on praying !

Amen to that

The Japs don't believe in God like we do; they devote all their time to developing new home grown technologies while we are praying for nigeria and doing bad bad bad things. Through Jesus Christ our Lord Amen, In the name of almighty allah - na so the great ebami eda talk.

I feel you otokx, but it does not hurt to pray for naija since we believe in God.

Are we going to pray for

1. the senator to stop looting?

2. the politician to stop trying to get there at all cost?

3. the police to stop taking bribe?

4. the nigerian to stop offering bribe?

Prayers without action is a waste of time and the prayer of the wicked never gets beyond the ceiling (assuming the ceiling is a reference point)

The same people that will dine with the devil at night will want the world to believe they are God-like, babalawo for night - church for morning.

Our problems in Nigeria lie within our own very immediate environments, from our friends, fathers, uncles, mothers, sisters, brothers, sons etc.

Prayer is good but purposeless prayer is a waste of time. i believe Nigeria is the most religious nation in the world so it is not a question of prayer as we have more than enough prayer warriors, unfortunately I don't believe we have more than a handful of good people around.

I get your point Afam. It makes perfect sense what your saying, but I still think we should keep on praying and also strive to be good (that would make it more purposeful right?)

I'm just gonna say Amen to your 5 points of prayer

How many of those praying for Nigeria really believe in the system?

otoks ,i quite agreed with u that prayer without action is nothing.

what our country need now is a positive change , the reponsibilty lies on evryone of us especially we the younger upcoming generation.we can make a difference,one OF the ways we can effect the change is by prayer and then by becoming that change, micheal jackson said ,THe best way to make a change is by first of all change the man we see in the mirror everyday. WHAT WE PREACH SHOULD NOT CONTRADIT WHAT WE DO.
THIS IS A CLARION CALL TO BE A DAVID IN OUR GENERATION THAT WILL RISE UP AND KILL THE GOLIATH THAT IS THREATING HIS GENERATION. WE CAN DO IT !LET US KEEP ON BELIEVEING IN NIGERIA INSPITE OF ALL ODDS.

Something funny happened a few weeks back. A Mopo who was with his squad doing 'duty' on the road approached me, gae me a tract and said: Accept Jesus as your Lord and personal saviour. I laughed in his face.

chxta ,what u experience are part of what God will do in this end time,He will used pple we dont expect to preach the gospel.the mopo is a human like u,he has a soul too and Jesus died for him to.so it is not funny,we havent seen nothing yet ,music and movies stars like eminem,madonna,brandy will confess christ to the Glory of God.it shall come to pass.

what chxta meant is that the man was collecting bribe with one hand and giving tract with the other hand.

well I know that prayer dey work, so we give it a shot!!!

well done nairalanders,we are the Joseph and David,Esther of our Generation,we can all make things happen 4 our country in our own little way.Presently,After praying for Nigeria daily,I try to make every young pple i meet to see a reason to still Believe in Nigeria inspite of all odds.

I must confess Nigeria is still the Best country to live in,Nigeria and Africa is the hope of the world today. I t is true ,we might be one of the corrupt country in the world but then We don't have kids takings guns to shoot churches and schools , we don't have terrorist here, we don't go shoot people in
beaches and supermarkets here; we did not initiate gays and
lesbians here, the list of evils from outside of Nigeria
is endless, Folks! The earlier you know it, the better.

The next civilization is coming from Nigeria. WE SHOULD STOP BAD MOUTHING ABOUT NIGERIA,THERE IS STILL GOOD in our land.we can visit www.heartof africa.com to know more about reorientating Nigerians within and abroad for a new NIGERIA.
Let us see beyond Nigeria of 2day,LET US THE GOOD IN THE NEW NIGERIA,OUR COUNTRY IS blessed wit pple,places,talents,skills ,BEAUTY,BRAINS,ideas and so on,think of pple LIKE zik of africa, AWO, JAY JAY,KANU,WOLE SOYINKA,philip emeagwali,prof dora akunyili,john fashanu and so on.NIGERIA IS JUST TOO BLESSED.

well said jesu seun
