In Nigeria, prayer is not simply a ritual—it is survival. It is the breath before every venture into uncertainty. We pray before sleep and upon waking. We pray before surgeries in hospitals where electricity often fails more than it works. We pray before exams, during childbirth, and especially before elections—aware, deep down, that outcomes are often decided long before the first vote is cast. Children pray for school fees. The street hawker prays for sales. The civil servant prays for a bribe. The thief prays before a heist. The judge prays before delivering a verdict. In this land, even sin is sanctified through prayer.
