"Stop blaming God for Nigeria's woes — Obasanjo tells Nigerians . . Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has charged Nigerians to desisted from blaming God for the current state of the nation. . . Speaking on Tuesday, December 29 in Ogun State, Obasanjo said, ""I like the motto of a school which says 'work and pray.' Some people say it should be 'pray and work', but it doesn't matter to me what order I put it, but prayer must go with work and work must go with prayer. . . And I believe we need to work hard in this country as we pray hard so that the coming year, the year 2021 will be a glorious year for us. But it will not happen unless we work to make it happen. . . We do not have to blame God for our situation; we have to blame ourselves. Nigeria does not have to be poor. No Nigerian must go to bed hungry. That we have a situation like that is a choice by our leaders and followers alike. My prayer is that God will make the year 2021 a better year for all of us, but it will not happen without work."""
