Demola,
I'm on your side and I'm with you that God does not need our prayers over Nigeria.
It is already long ago since I stopped praying for Nigeria or about anything Nigeria.The reason is this;I considered it as an insult to God when prayers are offered to Him about Nigeria and I admonished all our misguided folks to stop the bunch of useless nonsense called prayers for Nigeria.
Look at what God had done for Nigeria.The stable weather.Vast natural resources.Very rich soil etc. Did we pray to Him before He gave unto us such vast wealths?No we did not.
After He gave us all of the above {and several others that time and space did not allow me to list}, that we might be living in Paradise on Earth,guess what we did with the free gifts of God.
We squandared and plundered everything he gave us for our own usage and for our own betterments.
God in His mercy gave to us from among ourselves,leaders that He had endowed with great wisdom and knowledge and truthfulness etc.
What did we do to those individuals?
We either dubiously stopped them from taken over power at electoral polls or just kill them off, then installed upon ourselves puppets and sorry leaders.
All of us have seen it with our own eyes what we did to ourselves and how we arrived at the pitiful state where we are today.
But instead for us to repent and correct our faulty steps and start to march along the Divinely paved avenue of developments and economic bouyancy,we are still so foolish as to be shouting at the rooftop for prayers unto God.
I asked myself;praying to Him for what? Asking Him to come and relieve us of the burden we knowingly placed upon our own backs? Praying to Him to come and get us out of the pit we ran ourselves into even when He gave us enough knowledge with which to get out of the pit?
Such call to pray and such prayers are not only meaningless but more of insults to God.
Look at it this way from human angle.You built a huge and beautiful house for someone so that he can live therein very comfortably for the rest of his life.
He however urinated all over the place and stinks the entire house with feces and all kinds of dirts as such that the place is becoming so unliveable.
He then started to call on you persistently to come and clean up the entire house for him. How would you feel,youngman? Would you not feel so grossly insulted? Would you not consider the man as ungrateful and so sorry? Whatever you may think and feel about him fits him perfectly.The last thing you would do however, is to descend so low as to be cleaning the house for that dog.
Well,I see God from similar standpoint. He is being insulted by the so called prayers.Calling on Him to come and clean the mess we knowingly made is the worst insult given out to God except if He is not so recognized.
It is as well sad to realise that those who are making the prayer calls on holiday times are the same marauders that plundered the nation's wealths and also laid waste the land.
Unfortunate as it is,misguided church leaders quickly mounted their perverse pupilts and started to crow so noisily and annoyingly,praying for Nigeria.
What we needed so urgently in Nigeria is not prayer.What we needed is to abide by the greatest law of that God unto whom we are fakely asked to pray - love your neighbour as yourself.
God's golden rule can be realised even without going into prayer. Corruption,looting the treasury etc are evidences of not loving others as ourselves.If the leaders and their stooges love others as themselves,all the funds that God made available for betterment of all his people would not be stolen by few opportunistic cabals.
What we needed is not prayers,it is change of hearts and love of humanity.
While you loot, we should pray
