Strictly for those who care to know the truth.
God will never show up to end corruption and gross wickedness in Nigeria or anywhere on earth unless everyone concerned act accordingly.
When we resolved to prayer in a bid to cause a change that we are unwilling to make happen, we make mockery of ourselves.
Prayer changes things that those offering the prayer are resolute and dared to change. Prayer cannot change you if you don't change yourself.
The other time Nigerians wanted to change those in government, they voted in their preferred candidates during 2015 general election. Though many Nigerians prayed to God but they made it happened by themselves. God didn't go to the poll - besides, He didn't have voters card.
Now that Nigerians want to change poor governance and wrong attitude of Nigerians towards national affairs; fasting and prayer are rendered impotent if Nigerians refused to do what is right.
Infact, the change needed in Nigeria answers to genuine repentance not prayer. It doesn't matter how much and how long we pray, we are only fooling ourselves without mind renewal.
If an average Nigerian effect repentance now, the long awaited transformation of Nigeria will be so swift. But if we think it is all up to God and we have no part to play, things get worse. Especially, when the unrepentant architects (and perpetrators) of corruption and backwardness are also calling for prayer for a better Nigeria. Meanwhile, grace and prayer cannot be substituted for lawlessness and malpractices.
Nigerians should not just pray to cause change, Nigerians should repent to cause change. Prayer cannot make Nigeria great if Nigerians don't make Nigeria great.
