“Poverty Cannot Die by Fire” — Chiwetalu Agu Urges Nigerians to Combine Prayer with Hard Work
Nigerian actor, Chiwetalu Agu, shares that prayers alone cannot end poverty. The actor spoke against the belief that poverty can be prayed away, countering that mindset with his own perspective.
He stated that prayer alone is not enough and that hard work is also required. “Poverty does not die by fire. I repeat, poverty cannot die by fire. Pray from now till tomorrow — if you don’t work hard, poverty will deal with you.”
“Yes, prayer is powerful; it connects you to divine wisdom and favor. But work is the channel through which blessings manifest. You can pray all day for success, but if you refuse to plan or act, you will still remain poor. God blesses effort, not idleness.”
Nigerian social media influencer and personality GehGeh has called out youths for not speaking up against security challenges in Nigeria.
He took to social media and compared the situation with South Africa, saying:
“See how South African people came out to carry out a mission and their government supported them quietly. You see their police force supporting them too.”
“But here in Nigeria, our police are looking for yahoo boys and private chef girls, and the youths are not even ready to stand up to take back their country from these evil politicians.”
