According to the Pew Research Center, Nigeria is the second most prayerful country in the world following Afghanistan by a narrow margin, it is no exaggeration to say that an average Nigerian prays immediately after rising from bed, before work, after work, before eating, after eating, before going to bed and even in their sleep.
Both Christians and our Islamic brothers who pray five times daily, have that trait. This combination forms the praying nation.

It is wise to ask why Nigerians are so prayerful.

Many Nigerians seek and obtain solace under the umbrella of prayer, they give thanks to God always even when things go contrary to their prayers.

It serves as an outlet to voice out the pain of the economic conditions of the country which is depressing, desolating and traumatic.

Studies have also shown that prayers reduce stress, increase empathy, and builds relationship. It is also a spiritual exercise where people communicate with God, show remorsefulness to God and find direction.

For Muslims, they pray five times a day to fulfil the obligation bestowed upon them by Allah through his prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

For Christians, it’s more like a communication between a man and his maker.

So how did they carry out their research?
Because from what I know about Nigerians, that data saying 98% of Nîgeriàns is completely false.
There are so many people in this country who don't believe in prayers talk more of praying everyday but since it's a statistics coming from a western society, u all will swallow it.
