Nigeria’s problems: We have prayed enough, haven’t we?

I’m really sick and tired of this pray-for-this, pray-for-that, Nigerian mentality.  These religious leaders use pray-for-this, pray-for-that stuff to subjugate us into religious slaves. Is our prayer breeding us as a  lazy and timid nation?

You are looking for work and you don’t have experience or qualifications, they’ll say pray. You are looking for promotion at work and you are lazy, they’ll say fast. We have a bunch of cowboys as leaders and they say we should pray.

Pray for what? That they should continue to enslave us? Even God will be laughing at us right now, because heaven helps those who help themselves. What have we done about the Nigerian situation, other than pray, fast, pray and fast?.

Don’t we have brave men and women anymore who can lead a revolt or a revolution? Or we are expecting God to do what we ought to do ourselves?

Honestly, if life was all about prayer Nigeria perhaps would have sent someone to heaven to report back on life everlasting. We indeed would have won the world Cup and become the most powerful nation on earth. When the Super Eagles want to play a match they pray before, during and after. They still get defeated anyway.

How can they win when we field 30 year old men in under 17 competitions. When we knowingly cheat and pray to God, he will punish us. That is why this hypocritical country is in this quagmire. We pray sote sote sote. Prayer don do. Our  being taken for  mumu self don do.

The correct message from the men of God should have been for Nigerians to rise up against aliens and cultist who call themselves rulers, who steal us silly, who prevent us from replacing them via the ballot box, who maim, kill and have taken us hostage

Adeboye should change his tune. His seeming silence in the face of all the illegalities and injustice, makes me thing, he has an establishment mentality. I hear Adeboye is a good man, but he owes these devilish people no favours. He should not only criticize them in private, but also in public.

Or is it the case that because the Redeemed  Church often gets customs duty waivers, such ‘’generosity’’ has padlocked his mouth?
