Why I Gave Up 20-Minute Prayers After Moving to the US
A Nigerian man’s viral video has ignited debate after he revealed that life in America changed how he views prayer. He says the things he once prayed and fasted for in Nigeria are already provided by government systems abroad. He recalled fasting and praying for hours to secure a job back home, only to find very few opportunities and political gatekeeping. In the US, he says basic services and reliable infrastructure mean he spends no more than a few minutes in prayer each day. His comments have drawn mixed reactions online. Some praise good governance for easing daily struggles, while others argue that prayer remains vital regardless of where you live.
