Is Bad Governance the “Village People” Nigerians Pray Against?

Do Nigerians sometimes pray against problems that better governance could help solve? A story shared in the post describes a Nigerian in Luxembourg telling a friend back home that many things he used to pray for, such as reliable electricity and safer roads, were already provided there. He says he now spends a few minutes giving thanks to God and also appreciates the Luxembourg government. The post contrasts this with concerns Nigerians often raise about insecurity, police extortion, restrictive laws and poor public services. The story prompts a broader question: how much could good governance change the challenges Nigerians pray to overcome?
