I concur 100% with the Bishop submission. To make the matter worse, many pray without an heart of justice and truth.

Nigerians for our own sake and generations unborn let us retire the last 2 big men in our politics

Atiku and Tinubu will be big men president, haughty, proud and full of themselves

No one will be able to question them just as it is with Buhari now.

Atiku and Tinubu believe they have seen it all and know everything, no one can challenge them


Vote a President like Obi who can relate with people of all social class, who can come down to the people's level

Some one who has the mental capacity and energetic to get the job done

Some one who can engage in intense intellectual debates to find solutions to our lingering crisis

Some one who can hold marathon meetings and read reports


Some one who will bring respect, seriousness and dignity to office of the president, someone who will make education a focal point of governance


Some one who will give the youths hope that they too can become president by dint of hard work not old men who have been in politics for over 30 years +



Vote someone who will cut and reduce cost of governance, our government is too bloated and is run at a very high cost to the detriment of ordinary Nigerians


Someone who will move round the country to see things for himself, for example, we can all see how Governor Zulum moves around himself and the situation in Bornu has improved today


Vote someone that can be called to order if he is derailing not big men on high horses who will be looking down on people.

The man said nothing but the truth. All the techs we see around us today, didn't come by just through prayers.
I see so-called pastors sitting in church all day doing nothing but praying. They are so comfortable with being idle because their customers members wiil always "bless God's servant".
The Europeans that brought the religion have millions of Atheists in their own country but after our Fathers dumped theirs, they've passed the backward mentality down the line.
I know a person who fires down prayer almost every night, disturbing the peace of others. He believes imaginary forces are always after him and his family. The man is owing almost every loan app there is. His wife is a full-time house wife and they seem comfortable with that. They pray every day for their helper to locate them #Smh sad

The untold hardship in Nigeria has made prayers the only sojourn for the common man in a failed State like Nigeria.
Prayers without work is dead......a lot of Nigerians are over gullible that is why Nigeria is poor despite all it has (suffering in the midst of plenty)
A gullible person is person who believe everything without thinking (easily deceived)....
So when you believe you can do fasting and praying for 21days believing that God will do it for you without thinking of what you can do for yourself.........
Nigeria is not a failed state, it's the gullible people in it that has failed........

No lie at all!!!

We are being prepared for Heaven without making plans on how to live on earth.

That's why a lot are miserable.

That's why when I see kids having just Bible classes without other talent discovering extra activities, it saddens me.

The other day, I was about praying using MFM prayer book on finances I had to stop and pray with my words.


If the economy was better, purchasing power will be higher .


I always ask myself if that's how successful foreigners became wealthy?

Were they casting down demons or working and studying to improve on themselves?


HARDWORK , SKILLS, ENABLING ENVIRONMENT PLUS PURCHASING POWER are what we as Africans need.

I don't think this is entirely true. The fact is that Nigerians are generally hardworking people, hustlers sometimes doing 2 or 3 jobs just to survive. We resort to prayers when things are not working despite all the efforts. If the government was a bit more responsible, we wouldn't have to rely on prayers so much.
2-3 jobs where?

Re: Archbishop Ibezim: Many Talents Decaying Because People Rather Pray Than Work by okwusdaddy: 8:44am On Aug 07, 2022
What's this bishop saying.Did he find job for the unemployed youths in this country and they say all they want to do is to pray and not work.Does he know the amount of unemployed youths in this country or does he think he became bishop just by hard work.He should use his position to create Jobs for Nigerians and not talking about prayer.By stopping prayer is it how to become hardworking. How is stopping prayer going to help us get good leaders who would create jobs for the people so that the would stop praying.Some of these religious leaders are actually part of the problem we have in this country,by the time they stop praying and out of idleness and loss of hope start carrying gun and doing kidnapping he would be the first to say the country is bad thier is no security.

No don't compare them i guess for babalawo and juju prist are still better from the angle of not everyone likes to go for it and which will prompt you to work harder and stop false believe of marine spirit disturbing your progress in life.....

But for the white religion almost 90% of population fell for the scam ...
So i think they are different concepts for comparison undecided


emeernest:


That has always been the case with black man long before the coming of the white man & his religion.
Babalawos & juju priest have always exploited the gullibles. & presently most of those spiritualists have upgraded & repackaged as Pastors, Prophets, Imams etc just to remain in business.

So the problem is with the black man & not necessarily religion.

It's not that we are not hardworking but all our efforts are crumbled by bad governance and corruption from our leaders. We therefore resort to prayers for divine intervention. I pray never to be a Nigerian in my next world
