Afrobeats artist Omah Lay, whose real name is Stanley Omah Didia, has asserted that prayers alone are insufficient for saving Nigeria. He stated on his social media account that the country would not improve until its citizens took proactive measures. His comments responded to recent calls for prayer from various religious leaders concerning national insecurity and economic difficulties.
The singer's remarks followed other celebrity reactions to violent events, including a terrorist attack on a church in Kwara State and a student abduction in Kebbi State. Other notable figures from the entertainment industry, such as Don Jazzy, Davido, Falz, and Mr Macaroni, have similarly urged authorities to act. Singer Yemi Alade also expressed her position, advocating for African solutions to the continent's challenges instead of foreign intervention.
