Renowned Nigerian activist, Reno Omokri, has voiced his opinion on the reason behind Nigeria’s prevalent poverty despite the nation’s strong reliance on prayers.
He argues that the lack of prosperity in Nigeria can be attributed to a lack of hard work, as valuable time that could be dedicated to productivity is often spent in prayer.
Omokri cites Ephesians 4:28, which advocates working diligently to have the means to help those in need, and uses it to underline the significance of industriousness in achieving prosperity.
He argues that mere belief in God is not enough, as even demons believe in God. Instead, God rewards those who follow His instructions and work hard.
