The announcement was made by Segun Balogun Afolorunikan, the Director General of the National Prayer Forum, NPF, in Abuja.
Nigerians have lambasted First Lady of Nigeria, Oluremi Tinubu, and the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu over their plan to lead national prayers seeking God’s intervention in the country’s economic challenges.
The announcement was made by Segun Balogun Afolorunikan, the Director General of the National Prayer Forum, NPF, in Abuja.
Afolorunikan stated that the theme for the 2024 national prayer is “Seeking the Intervention of God in Nigeria’s Affairs.”
The prayer, organized in collaboration with both Christian and Muslim leaders, aims to request divine assistance in addressing the nation’s crises.
Reacting, Nigerians on social media slammed the initiative, saying prayer cannot help turn around the economy if it is managed by crooks.
They cited Peter Obi as an example of someone who predicted that the country cannot move forward with just prayers alone.

Exactly what Obi was saying yesterday and Ronu bandits were foaming in the mouth. Focus on work and productivity as a panacea for pulling people out of poverty instead of lazy dependence on spiritual intervention.
@Watpapping

@_oaedo_xo
APC knows that a lot of their fans are stupid so they will continue to do shit like this. You people were going over what Obi said with a microscope but just look at this.😂
I hope Buchi will bring his family from yukay for this national vigil
@Mr_Gerrie01
Less than 24hours @PeterObi vindicated.
Lmfaooo.. pray your way out of economic damnation, Peter Obi is your problem.
Your government is leading prayers instead of creating jobs, the man that’s bold enough to condemn it is seen as the enemy, you guys are mad.
@Lollypeezle
Those of you angry with Peter Obi when he said we can’t keep praying and going to vigils, congratulations o, they have brought your own package, it’s time to pray.
Mummy RCCG will lead you in shikoroboboskeleba. I hope Apoti Eri from Mount Zion too will join. Adura a gba o 🙏🙏
Awwwww another reason to vote them again in 2027. So prayerful and upright unlike PO who doesn’t want us to have our vigils in peace. 🥹
@AdanyiT52480
This what @PeterObi was saying, we have prayed enough abd God has answered our prayers lets work it out the bible says faith without work is death
@Elkrosmediahub
Lmaoooooo!
They already saw people fighting Peter Obi here for saying the truth about these things, and decided it was worth one more fooling.
@Ogunmusi
Peter Obi – We cannot continue to pray, We need to Face our Problems
Nigerians – It’s prayers that’s holding this country together. Religion is not our problem.
Less than 48 hours later,
Tinubu’s wife , Ribadu to lead national prayers.
We deserve our leaders
Useless prayers rooted in hypocrisy.
This is part of what Peter Obi was saying earlier. This is the same thing Adeboye has been telling you people to do for years now, “pray” because the God you serve is a wicked entity Abi?👍🏿👍🏿
Can you see it now? Can you suddenly understand what Obi was trying to say if you’re not a raging slowpoke?
