On August 4, 2024, thousands of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) members gathered for their annual prayer walk, seeking divine intervention for Nigeria’s challenges. Participants marched through the streets, praying for peace, stability, and better governance in the country.

The event generated mixed reactions on social media. Supporters hailed the prayer walk as a crucial spiritual effort, expressing hope that their collective prayers would bring about positive change. Many emphasized the belief that faith could complement actions to address Nigeria’s issues.

Critics, however, voiced skepticism. They argued that the energy spent on prayer walks would be more effective in protests demanding direct governmental action. Comments reflected frustration with perceived inaction and a belief that prayer alone would not resolve the country’s systemic problems.
