Nollywood actress Mary Njoku has cautioned Nigerians against being overly spiritual about the forthcoming elections.
She issued the warning in a post shared on her Instagram page on Sunday.
Nigerians Urged to Seek Practical Solutions
Mary emphasized that Nigerians should stop disturbing God with their physical challenges, especially when it comes to governance and leadership.
She pointed out that despite the country having an overwhelming number of churches and mosques, Nigerians still lack access to food, security, infrastructure, quality roads, and healthcare.
According to her, “God has given us the gift of life and we should use it to solve our problems.”
“Stop Bothering God With Physical Problems”
She said:
“Dear Nigerians. We have physical problems. Stop invoking spiritual solutions.
Nigeria has a high number of churches and mosques, so we have anointing. But we don’t have food, infrastructure, security, health care, roads, and physical justice.
Jesus fed the crowd with physical fish and bread, not spiritual. Even with all our prayers, God still never punish the bad politicians. Isn’t this a sign that we should stop disturbing Him with our physical problems? If you don’t want him, vote against him on Saturday!”
Call to Action Ahead of Elections
Njoku further criticized the notion of believing only in divine intervention without taking political action.
She wrote:
“God will not let him. Are you joking? God is aware of the suffering and killings. He let them happen. We need a physical solution, so stop bothering God. He has given us the gift of life. Let’s use it to solve our problems.”
Her message comes as Nigerians prepare to head to the polls, stressing the need for practical solutions rather than solely relying on prayers.
