FOR NIGERIA, I PRAY (POEM)

Intro:
I first posted this poem on Facebook in February 2015 amidst the fears surrounding the 2015 general elections in Nigeria. And today, as our country turns 57, I want to use this enlarged version to wish my compatriots a happy but thoughtful independence celebration. I also implore our friends around the world to join me to pray for Nigeria. Glory to God!

For Nigeria, I pray for truth

  • GODWIN MAXWELL

    Seriously, Nigeria needs God’s presence in every sector… With the present set of leaders, all the poor masses get are their (leaders) preposterous utterances which are not in any way helping matters.
    The setting of this country make the masses to look schizophrenic…
    seriously MA, this is a good post and at the right time
    May God help us and see us through in Jesus Name
    AMEN

    truly we need to pray for Nigeria, i love that line that says thus “i pray that followers will cease to mock” we the followers should not always condemn our leaders or nation rather we should pray that our leaders have the divine wisdom to take us to the promise land. this is really a wonderful piece, kudos ma.

  • Onwuka Chinaecherem Emmanuel

    For Nigeria I pray, I pray for God’s blessings, favour, unending mercy to see us all through.
    Indeed Nigeria is a great nation & it takes only the strong to survive; many people prophesy too many negativities on this country; politicians have made promises, with nothing to show for it; many of them have looted our economy, drenched our resources only to enrich themselves and family in Nigeria & abroad, many of them have secured properties abroad, lands in Nigeria with nobody living there; and houses with a different name written on the certificate of ownership. Many prophets have prophesied bad things upon this nation; nevertheless we will never give up, we will keep pushing and will never stop. This nation is great, Nigeria is great. I believe.

  • Josiah Judith Enobong

    Nigeria is great; Nigeria is a land blessed with so many minerals/natural resources. Notwithstanding several prophecies and curses laid upon this land, we shall survive, from all the evil deeds of her leaders, we shall survive, from all the plans and negativities conducted on this land, we shall survive. Billions and millions have been embezzled and taken abroad, many have been taken from her treasury unaccounted for, financial crime commissions have fought and are still fighting all to no avail. An average youth in the street can’t even boast of a job even with all the qualifications; degrees and masters from institutions of higher learning. Nigeria is great, i believe, Notwithstanding several prophecies and curses laid upon this land, we shall survive.

  • EKWUEME VICTOR OBIORA

    AMEN. i also pray for diversification of economy and employment opportunities. may Nigeria remain great and may justice reign in Jesus name

  • keswet mercy

    on a more concerned not, our country need prayer, we should make that as a daily affair in praying for our country, pray for religious leaders and against corrupt leaders ,enough shedding of innocent blood.

  • SAMUEL GODSGIFT AKACHUKWU

  • EZENWA CHINENYE EVANGELINE

    I pray that God listens to your prayer for our dear country. i also pray that indeed the citizens will not sit by and mock while the government do very little for the masses. i pray that one day the challenges before Nigeria will lead to her recognition globally. that peace will reign and that crisis and ethnic strife will be a thing of the past. this i pray in jesus name, amen.

  • ONUOHA DIANA

    I echo a loud amen to that prayer, Ma. i pray that indeed justice will be part of our values as a nation. that we might begin to take each other as brother and shun anything that wants to break us apart. i pray that truth be told and that we will learn accountability and the essence of telling the truth to ourselves and people connected to us. and also we plead for peace that bloodshed will be a thing of the past and that Nigerians can sleep at night with both eyes closed.

  • Vanessa Ezenwafor

    Prayer they say is the master key. We have prayed, we pray and we will keep praying for Nigeria. It might take a gradual process but I believe that one day, our prayers won’t be in vain. Prayer has been sustaining us in this country and I know that the God who answers prayer will never desert us. Amen!!

  • AKWOLU CHIAMAKA

    For Nigeria i pray that there will arise people who are interested in pushing the nation forward and ushering in an era of growth and development. i also pray that we will be blessed with leaders who are interested in public affairs and not in propagating one agenda or the other for their family members. God help us in this country so we will not all run away to other pleasant lands.

  • Nwabuike onyinyechi

    It’s a good thing that nice people like you remember to pray for Nigeria because the truth is that the country and her citizens are really in distress. At least this poem will inspire people to constantly pray for nigeria,to pray that God heals her of terrible leaders and suffering economy. I believe there’s still hope for Nigeria. Good job ma

  • Martins Kingsley

    Our country seems to look like what can never be changed from its bad situation to good. But since the heart of a king lies in the hand of the Lord, indeed and in truth l forsee a great change through a warm and heart touching prayer which will help foster a good philosophical country where the opium of the masses will gear towards egalitarianism

  • OGBOBI BLESSING OJONOMA

    Many Nigerians say nothing good about the nation than to curse her. Let us always pray for a better Nigeria and also help in making it better in our own little way.

  • Dominion Eze

    Truly, Nigeria needs God-fearing leaders. With the present arrangement of leaders, all the poor masses are bound to suffer.
    The setting of this nation make the majority to look schizophrenic… genuinely MA, this is a decent post and at the ideal time May God encourage us and see us through in Jesus Name AMEN

    Nigeria is a country blessed by God……. prayer is the key to every situation. Nigerians should learn to pray, to see the positive side in Nigeria…… An optimistic mind is a fulfilled mind so, a positive Nigeria is a fulfilled Nigeria .

  • CHINAWAEZE OLISAEMEKA

    Nigeria is a better place to live,God has blessed us with mineral resources and good weather all we need is love for one another irrespective of your religion, tribe or personal interest and other countries of world will come and seek advise from us.I LOVE NIGERI

  • Brown Bethel Ogadinma

    Honestly, Nigeria needs our prayers and God’s intervention, so much is going in every sector of the country. The killing, the insecurity and so on. running away won’t solve the problem, since the situation has swept us off our feet, I believe is time we go on our knees. So for Nigeria I pray for PEACE. Amen.

  • Eze Blessing Sopuruchukwu

    I love this poem, ma. I join you to pray for peace,truth and justice in this country. I think that is what Nigeria needs most now. Nigeria is a country blessed with mineral resources by God. But looking at how things are going now, its as if things are turning upside down. We really need to pray for this country seriously, hoping and believing for things to turn better.

  • Brown Bethel Ogadinma

    Honestly, Nigeria needs our prayers and God’s intervention. So much is going on in every sector of the country. The killings, the insecurity and so on. Running away won’t solve the problem. Since the situation has swept us off our feet, I believe is time we go on our knees. So for Nigeria I pray for PEACE. Amen.

  • For Nigeria we hold on to hope.
    I love this poem MA.
    Longlive!! our great nation.

  • Onwuamaeze Ikechukwu John

    Prayers? Well, churches, mosques, even traditionalist have been praying for a better Nigeria but it’s getting worse by the day. But, I suggest we all stand and fight for our unity and peace. Nice poem ma, hope God hears you.

  • Ugwu Chizoba Janet

    True, the level of prophesy that is said by doomsday prophet is so alarming but just like you said prayer can avert all negativity about our nation.

  • Achugwo Larissa

    I believe in prayer, but one thing that annoys me with Nigerians is that it’s all we do. An instance is the tanker that exploded on a Lagos bridge some weeks ago. After that explosion,some will tweet out a prayer, post a video on Facebook with a prayer caption, some churches will observe a moment of silence, my Rev. Father will say “for the souls of the faithful departed…”, the ones that passed the bridge a few minutes before it exploded will have thanksgiving in church with big smiles (forgetting that some who were related to people not as lucky are probably in the crowd and are close to tears/already crying). When we pray, we should back it with ACTION. God works through humans. He will not stretch out his hands and arrange things. We pray for Nigeria’s economy while importing goods from abroad. Is it the angels that will buy Nigerian products?. We throw rubbish on the floor, and complain about how dirty the streets are. Will God will send spiritual cleaners to clean it up?. We watch injustice happen to our neighbours and turn a blind eye, then pray afterwards for God to protect our families from injustice. Most of our leaders are crap but we also contribute heavily to our misfortunes. IF WE DON’T TAKE ACTIONS TO STOP THE EVIL IN NIGERIA, IT’LL BE ANOTHER PERSON’S TURN TO CRY WHILE A TESTIMONY OF SURVIVAL IS GIVEN IN CHURCH. THEN A PRAYER WILL BE SAID FOR THE UNFORTUNATE ONES AND EVERYONE WILL MOVE ON. PRAYING THEY WON’T BE THE NEXT VICTIM.

    • Edith Ohaja

      Powerful. I totally agree. Prayer alone isn’t what God expects from us. Right and timely actions matter a lot too.

  • Ugwoke Somto Promise

    Really touching piece, Nigeria really needs a change. Our country is dying by the minute so this poem comes at a time when different prayers are being offered on this same scenario which is peace and unity. Great poem. Very easy to understand.

  • ASOGWA CHIBUZOR HENRY

    O great Nigeria, great giant of Africa. God has smiled and made it possible for all the living to acknowledge this day.Greater things we ask and pray for our country, Lord!

  • Sugbaza Benjamin victor

    Nigeria really needs prayers.. I’m sure God inspired you to write this poem, it is really awesome.

  • Henry onyeka

    Amen I pray that this lovely poem and prayer of yours be a reality. Our country is falling and is needed to be saved from all these tribulations.

  • Maduabuchi ebube precious

    This our country Nigeria is in a mess now and really needs prayers, great poem

  • Onuoha Divine Nmasinachi

    Amen and amen ma.
    I equally pray God helps us see Nigeria in a better way, stop pointing accusing fingers, and do away with condemnation.
    Nigeria will sure get better.

  • Henry onyeka

    Amen Amen Amen, all these must happen in Jesus name especially the punishing of the bad leader.

  • EZEHA JUDITH

    Nigeria need prayer today more ever, we must first plead for forgiveness of our own sins of omission. It is the sins of the priests and the sins of the leaders that finally bring a nation down. Top of the list is the sin of prayerlessness and lack of intercession for the peace and will of God in our land.

  • It is wise for us to pray for our nation because whatever happens affects us as citizens but many people do not understand this.

  • OKere Jovita

    The best thing for us to do as good citizens of our country, Nigeria is to put our minds together and pray for a better Nigeria instead of pointing accusing fingers on our leaders, with prayers God can intervene for us. The earlier we realize this the better for us.

  • NEW DAWN GREETINGS MA
    Nigeria is land filled with milk and honey therefore we shall have peace justice and the fear of God
    For Nigeria to move forward we need God and good leaders Nigeria will flourish again whether the bad leaders like it or not AMEN

  • oringanje chinonso

    Despite the fact that Nigeria is a religious country, our leaders and politicians still put the country in a mess. I will always pray for Nigeria my country, because I have no other country except Nigeria. Of a truth for Nigeria, I pray.

  • Ogbozor chiamaka Zillah

    I pray that the grace of God be upon this nation Nigeria for without God we can do nothing. May God’s mercy and abundant grace be upon the citizens of this country. for the plans He has for us is for good and not of bad.

  • Opara Oluchi Dorathy

    What a beautiful poem. There is nothing prayer can’t do, only if we have faith and be diligent in all we do. All hopes are not lost. Prayer plus diligence and unity is the way forward.

  • Paul-kayode praise c

    Admist travails and crisis in the country, there is nothing prayer cannot solve. I look forward to the day, northerners can go to church and return to their houses alive.. Look forward to the the day project moneys would be used for the initial target and not to warm some officials’ bank account,i look forward to the day police officers wouldn’t hold a car owner on the road despite having all his/her papers !

  • ologhofor sampson

    Thank you ma for this wonderful piece. I pray that this supplication be answered. Nigeria is a great country blessed with a lot of natural resources that many greater countries of the world don’t have but today, little or nothing has been achieved and I pray God touch our leaders and change their mindset about leadership… God bless Nigeria.

  • Izuogu, Ozioma precious.

    Prayer without work is vain, we all pray good for our country but the question is, how well do we work to actualize it?.

  • Eze martins Tochukwu

    Thank you for this great poem. I pray that God manifest the good things he has for this country and also give us good government and enlighten citizens who believe in this country and will stand up against the government when they are wrong.

  • I know one day Nigeria will be a better place to boast of. God should give us a leader that will turn this country around and make it to rise again so all the hardships and sufferings in this country will end. I know our prayers, will be answered one day. Thank you ma for this inspirational post.

  • Obiemeka favour chukwugozie

    Nigerian is a great country but we don’t need just prayers, we need to come together in hard work in order to achieve the change we are praying for, in as much as we’re blaming our leaders let us remember that we’ll have our roles to play in ensuring the change we are aspiring for.
