TEC News!
A Nigerian living abroad has taken to the Social Media to describe the difference between life in Nigeria and that of other foreign countries.
The Nigerian identified as Salem Shaibu describes Nigeria to be a place where Nigerians are forcefully made by the government to become Prayer warriors but same Nigerians would be humbled oversea and might almost lose the same prayer ability.

The social media user in her post titled “Abroad life will humble your prayer points” said that the government of the countries abroad have actually made life easier as they have answered almost all the prayers that any citizen would want to pray by providing almost all basic needs, but in Nigeria, you must be forced to pray about everything ranging from security to power, roads and even water.
The Post Below:
“Abroad life will humble your prayer points.
Omo, if you no strong spiritually when you relocate, you’ll just find out your prayer life don relocate too. Not because you don’t love God anymore but because many of the prayer points no longer exist.
Back in Naija, to travel from Abuja to Lokoja, I go start speaking in tongues from the minute I enter the car till I land. I go soak myself in the blood of Jesus like say I dey swim inside. One hand on my bag, one eye on the bush. You know say “anything fit happen.”
Going to Kaduna? You better know Psalm 91 from beginning to end.
You pray against kidnappers, armed robbers, fake police, bad roads, evil altars, and ancestral potholes.
Now I’m abroad…
I enter car, I sleep. No fear.
Sometimes I even forget to pray before a journey because deep down I already know the government won’t let me die for nothing.

Driving here? Peaceful. I never press horn. People actually use indicators. Nobody is dragging lane like their village is at the end of the road.
I used to pray
• “God please let there be light”
• “Father provide water”
• “Lord let this fuel last”
• “Oh God touch NEPA”
. “Oh God provide school fees”
But here 👇👇👇👇
I just flip a switch and there’s light.
Open the tap 👉 water.
Go outside 👉 road is smooth.
Need help👉emergency works.
SChool 👉 free and they get free breakfast and lunch
It’s not heaven, but the government has already answered half of my prayer points.
And it made me realise Nigerians are not more spiritual. We’re just constantly in survival mode.
You’ll know how strong your faith is when you’re no longer desperate.
So now, I pray differently.
Not out of fear but out of love and clarity.
Not for daily protection from chaos but for purpose, peace, and impact.”
Dear Nigeria, we’re not asking for too much. We just want a country that doesn’t turn survival into a full-time prayer request.
