Nollywood actress Mary Remmy Njoku advocates for practical action alongside prayer to address societal challenges

Nollywood actress and producer Mary Remmy Njoku has called on Christians to combine prayer with practical action to tackle societal issues like poor roads, insecurity, and failing healthcare systems. In an Instagram post, Njoku emphasized that while prayer offers guidance, strength, and wisdom, physical problems demand practical solutions. She stated that one cannot pray away bad roads, a failing healthcare system, or bandits. Njoku highlighted that food does not appear through prayer alone, as it requires cultivation, harvesting, transportation, or preparation. She further noted that critical areas such as infrastructure, healthcare, education, security, and economic development necessitate deliberate efforts from both leaders and citizens, asserting that these improvements will not materialize solely through prayer. She concluded that physical problems must be addressed with physical action, planning, accountability, and hard work.
