Prophet Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere, popularly known as Odumeje, has criticised the idea that Nigeria’s primary calling is to prayer, arguing that the country needs to focus more on development.
In a video circulating online, Odumeje said he disagreed with a pastor who described Nigeria as having a “calling to prayers.”
“I heard one pastor talking nonsense, saying Nigeria has a calling to prayers. Which kind of calling is that? Are we prayer warriors?” he said.
According to him, Nigerians, particularly young people, should be encouraged to develop the country rather than being made to depend solely on religious leaders.
“We have a calling to be developers. Bad government is what has caused all these churches across the country. They want to deceive the youths so that everyone will turn to pastors,” he said.
Odumeje also called on Nigerian youths to become more involved in the affairs of the country.
“Nigerian youths, let’s come out, fight for ourselves and take back our government,” he added.
His comments come amid the drama between Verydarkman and the clergyman Apostle Arome.
