On August 4, 2024, thousands of members of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) took part in their annual prayer walk, a tradition aimed at seeking divine intervention for Nigeria’s challenges. Participants marched through the streets, praying for peace, stability, and better governance in the country.
Reactions on social media were mixed. Supporters hailed the prayer walk as an important spiritual exercise, expressing hope that their collective prayers would bring about positive change. They believed that prayer could complement other efforts to address Nigeria’s issues and emphasized the power of faith.
Conversely, critics voiced skepticism. Some argued that the energy devoted to prayer walks might be more effectively used in protests demanding direct governmental action. Comments reflected frustration with what was perceived as a lack of tangible results and suggested that prayer alone might not be sufficient to resolve Nigeria’s systemic problems.
