Nigerians Depend On Miracles While Others Depend On Productivity- NGO
An NGO by the name Hungry and Angry, has recently accentuated the propensity of Nigerians in relying on divine supernatural interventions ahead of the productivity and inventiveness which has set the pace for the economic prosperity of her western counterparts.
A viral video circulated by a certain Dr. Chido Agwunabu, an employee of the named NGO, takes a cursory look at Queen’s Drive, an industrial estate in London known for a flurry of business activities of different forms. According to Dr. Chido, who is the voice over in the video, the businesses and industries on Queen’s Drive all belong to different nationalities, however, the only two business owned by Nigerians in this industrial hub are churches.
Incidentally, one of the massive structures in this industrial area happens to be owned by a Nigerian, and the building plays host to the worship services of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries. Chido, who was obviously incensed at how Nigerians choose to invest even at the nerve centre of commercial activities, lamented that whereas other countries have taken to productivity as the secure path to economic prosperity, Nigerians have come to depend on miracles for their own prosperity.

The footage, to say the least, poses further question marks on the popular Nigerian mentality of depending on miracles and divine interventions as a substitute for the industriousness which leads to productivity. Sliver by sliver, generations of Nigerians continue to key into the lopsided ideology that religion, not hard work, is the key to material prosperity; and the society this has created is one where the less religious have recognized the gruff realities of wealth creation and manoeuvred through these realities to create sustainable wealth while the more religious fall into the bracket of working eight hours a day for them while praying to the skies for a supernatural turnaround in their fortunes.
From another critical position, the footage denudes the fact that most Nigerian clerics have come to view the church as a commercial venture rather than a place of spiritual edification that it is meant to be, which is why Nigerians would unapologetically situate church venues in an industrial hub where persons of diverse backgrounds and orientations have come together to engage business ideas and increase productivity.
The place of religion remains sacrosanct in the life of any individual, yet, no religion promises the Deux Ex Machina “the god out of a machine” promoted by the Ancient Greeks as a necessary index to material prosperity. Therefore, the landscape of Queen’s Drive provides an ample indication towards a counter-productive measure that has hamstrung the productivity of Nigerians for many years.
