Let the government first remove poverty and insecurity and create jobs and see if people will not pray less |

mrvitalis: True. Nigerians pray more than the people that introduced us to both the western and eastern religion but, they growing more than we do. Religion destroyed Africa but, shamefully, our people refuse to see it. |

mrvitalis:In Nigeria, there is little or no reward for hardwork. Stop blaming our problems on religion. Religion was with us in the 70s and early 80s when the Country was making sense |

Now you are saying Nigerians are lazy ehh? I dont blame you. Nigerians are complaining more than praying. |

When you guys ran everything down for Nigerians and all they do are not working won't they resort to prayer? These men are fools |

praizblog: If all i would achieve after working is what fashola achieved after "working" for five years, i would rather go praying! STFU |

As much as I understand the message he was trying to pass across, he and his ilk should please shut it. The political class have nothing to teach the people of this country. There goes a man who has been in government in one form or another since 1999, coming to tell Nigerians about Hardwork and Prayer. Same man who while he was governor was busy awarding street roads of less than 10km at 200m to 500m naira. Lekki-Epe Expressway, a 50km road awarded at 1 billion naira per kilometre, just for expansion and rehabilitation, yet the job was never even completed 30%. Same man who promised severally to have the Lagos Metro Train project ready before his tenure ends, same project does not even look like it will be completed anytime soon. This was someone, who whilst campaigning for Ambode was going around Alimosho LG sharing Noodles and Sweets. I can go on and on. Fashola as a lawyer, for all of his emotional intelligence, should atleast know what to say and what not to say. These are trying times for most Nigerians and it is clear that the power and money he has is getting to his head. Nigerians in truth tend to be quite religious and often call God on matters they can handle themselves. This may be true but I think it is fair that we go a step further and look at the issue deeply. It is a general fact that people from 3rd world countries who are challenged economically and otherwise tend to be more religious, this is not peculiar to Nigeria alone it is a global phenomena. Why are we still in a pitiable s**thole state? Well, perhaps we can ask men like him and his godfather who are skilled in the art of siphoning funds meant for our collective development and relocating it outside the shores of this country. The major reason why we are so religious is because of our underdevelopment. If he wishes that Nigerians become less religious, then he should do his part. Atleast he has the capacity being that he is in a position of power and privilege. He should do his job with all sincerity and then let's see if people will not have jobs, earn a decent living and gradually dump this veil of religiosity while being able to think for themselves and make logical decisions. I do not say he started the issues I listed above however I can confidently say he has done little or nothing to solve them. KingGBsky: |

Fashola has confirmed his small mindedness today. The man is a great disappointment. |

mrvitalis: sorry oh,dis.you think before typing that? where do you place Dubai,Saudi Arabia even Iran (even though i dont agree with their doctrine) who are also better than us though religious. |
Re: Fashola: Stop Praying All The Time, Get To Work by mrvitalis(m): 8:05am On Oct 23, 2019 |
Khaleell001:There is exception to every rule Look at the names u called ...Iran is not overly religious tho and not really developed They have large oil n small population ...so just luck ...none religious people Still built the place for them |
Re: Fashola: Stop Praying All The Time, Get To Work by Khaleell001(m): 8:00pm On Oct 23, 2019 |
mrvitalis: one. mistake Nairalanders here make with me is that they think I take assumptions as facts. Do. you have good facts and even statistics to show that none religious people did it for them? |

Commentor:nonsense and u did not bother to see the hard working. I know u are not a Nigerian with the way u sound. Just carry ur frustration and defeated mentality to ur country. |
