ChirstFireAltar:
Peter just messed up.
There was no vigil he didn't attend during the last election crying and praying. Now night vigil is his problem. God looks at the heart, this is why he lost the election. Kamala's family that denied God during her campaign and lost her election even lost 11M votes of the blue party.
See the way Trump has been acknowledging God everywhere and the American church stood by him.

Peter will hear from us in 2027.

ShinjaWWest:
Peter Obi Bleep up ..

But watch as his fellow Igbos support him...

They don't see any wrong in what ever he does .

Anyway God bless the good people of Southsouth and Southwest

slaawomirr:
Damnnn niggar

All these god of men..

One thing about me here in Benin city...if you are my relative or friend and i notice your are too into spirituality

Then I quickly do away with you because you can't be productive in life

Saintzykie:

America is a religious nation and so is Saudi and they are developed

herich:


All these ur excuses na for mentally poor people.
Still vote MM come 2027, una go see double shege dat time.
Take it or leave, our religious activities here is excessive.
America you mentioned have more chronic atheists than Nigeria and PO is not urging people to avoid Christianity but we should reduce the excesses of religious activities, we pray for even the least problems human intelligence can solve, do they act that way in America?

Saintzykie:


The point he made was completely unnecessary. Shame on him if he goes to campaign in churches again.

herich:

He is a Christian and will continue to attend service.
He only advising you that prayer doesn't solve all these issues we pray for here...
If not, Nigeria's problems would have all been solved through prayer

mikkyangel3:


E pain the scallywag

See the idiot threatening Peter Obi.

Smell0 like yourself wey never chop.

To hell with you, and your fellow Christians

herich:

So before, is Nigeria not too religious to be praying for even the simplest tasks common brain can solve.

ogascomax:
People are trying to defend what he said. I don't buy that. This was a man that was moving from one church to another before the election even at night.
Secondly, he makes it look as if the night vigil was the cause of Nigeria problem. R

I am sure the reason he said that was perhaps Nigerians should be fighting the government instead of that they are spending time to be praying rather than taking the country for themselves.
When protesters were jailed for months, tell me what Obi and Atiku did. See something here, Atiku, Obi and the rest people that the election never favoured should be the once leading protest in Nigeria if they were actually serious and meant well for Nigeria. That was what opposition did before the 2015 election. Making reference to the church was completely nonsense talk because the percentages of churches that engaged in such a practice are not even up to 1.5 percent of the general churches around.
Obi problem is trying to impress people by dropping some punchline. What he said, to me was worrisome and most people defending that rhetorics are his people the Igbos who they themselves are beginning to abandoned Christianity, so why should I take their defence very serious and some talk BS over that as though church is their problem.
Lastly, it should be known that religion is not the greatest problem but those who have used it for their advantages. The top 7 religious country in the world are better than Nigeria.

Zeezenho:
It's good he came out to speak.at least we now know he is an enemy of the people.
Any pastor that want his members to prioritize church activities to been productive, is a scam and enemy to humanity

faebenezer5star:
why don't you pray to loss weight instead of going to the gym 🥴

herich:

He is a Christian and will continue to attend service.
He only advising you that prayer doesn't solve all these issues we pray for here...
If not, Nigeria's problems would have all been solved through prayer

Paparazy87:
This one is yarning dust , how many jobs have you created for your church members ? Yahoo pastors,see him iron starch dress like person wet Dey go party

herich:

America, religious? With high percentage of atheists in America?
SA is not a developed country

herich:


So night clubs and beer parlor are not productive for the workers.
You religious people lack even the smallest critical thinking

AbahJFK:


You can also attend vigil and be in riches. Poverty is more palpable in the Northern part our country where Christians are the minority, so you can't say night vigil is the cause there since we have more of the other religion. Therefore you can't blame our problems on doing night vigil.
We have other religions that pray too, Let him be Bold enough to say what is in his mind, instead of attacking Christians only

ProudNigerian01:
The Bible says in Eccl.3.1 - There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:

I completely agree to the fact that Christians shouldn't use the time meant for work or other useful things to pray. That's like being zealous in the wrong way, we should love and do the things of God but in the proper way:

Prov.19.2 - It is not good to have zeal without knowledge, nor to be hasty and miss the way.

Prayer in itself is something that should be done always in the heart not necessarily at defined times. As Christians we must learn to understand the difference between being righteous and being religious.

Work and Pray brethren at the right times, that's how it should be done.

In all this, if you are still living in sin, and still engaging in any religious activity, you are wasting effort and time.

Sin is our number one enemy, deal with it first before engaging with God

Don't just claim you know God, Make sure you use your words and character to preach Christ, let people feel God's holiness and love in you extending to them.

Be kind. Be polite. Be respectful. Be humble. Be diligent. Be Honest.

FactBoyz:
Hey Pastor I love your teachings but on this I hate what you said...

You pastors have lambasted Obi for his actually truthful comments but have said absolutely nothing on

Muslim Muslim Ticket
Ineptitude of the Nigerian Government
Corrupt Government officials who are members of your church
Injustices of the Nigerian justice system and courts..

Stop with your hypocrisy. Obi said the truth irrespective of how it hurts the church, Truth is Truth

Vlibray:
How come we are one of the most religious nations in the world, but yet we are one of the most corrupt, unproductive and poorest nations in the world ? .

Ok
Religion is for the gullible and lazy

asamaigho:

can you tell dat to d muslims who will rather leave their costumers to go and pray?
or how d u define time for work and time for prayer? becos i smell u want to tell me dats their time for prayer,
so my question will be "who defines time for prayer for the christian? is it u or the society or D CHURCH itself?
If its d CHURCH, den its not ur business or peter obi to tell dCHRISTIANs wen to pray.
If it is you or d society, den it will be a "HUGE HYPOCRITY TO CALL OUT CHRISTIANS WHILE LEAVING MUSLIMS OUT.

asamaigho:

no we r not.
we r not even close to Saudi Arabia in terms of Islam, neither r we even close to usa in terms of christianity
we just have non patrotic leaders.
India is a core Buddhist nation for tens of centuries
Japan is a core Shintoism nation for centuries
yet they r better dan us in all ramification.

wen u have bad leaders u wan to blame it on Christianity because u r short sighted.
besides dis nation by a large margin has been governed by Muslims

smokinloud:

How does that help his political career?, he shot himself on the foot with that statement and I'm glad I never voted him. Prayer, indeed, is the greatest weapon to fight your battles. Ask Donald Trump and his campaign team. Nigeria has not prayed 50% of the prayers Americans have prayed in history. Try study how Americans have helped propagate the gospel and you'll see why God has always been with them.

Saintzykie:

People Wey put “In God we trust” for their currency? Have you even watched Republicans campaign? Mentioning God is a primary theme. “God bless America” u no De hear am?

jaxxy:


they add nothing more productive directly as going to the toilet and taking a shit or going for a walk.

Saintzykie:


So why didn't he mention Muslims too? Why was he selective in his speech? He was a governor once, what was his trackrecord in job creation?
