He went to the German hell and asked "What do they do here?" He was told "first they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the German devil comes in and whips you for the rest of the day". The man did not like the sound of that at all so he moved on. He checked out the USA hell as well as the Russian hell and many more. He discovered that they were all similar to the German hell.

We PRAY & PLAY Too Much In This Country. After every defeat, we go to God for prayers, this question that bothers my mind is that, do we ever remember to pray before we embark on such task? do we ever remember to pray to God first in all our endeavours? Prayer is the key but please read further... I think it's high time we wake up from slumber in this religious country of ours, we act less and pray and play more, we don't really need much prayers if we do the right thing at all time. Do we need prayers to fix our roads, build infrastructures, provide basic amenities, secure life and properties, provide qualitative education and so on? The resources are there for us to build upon. It's never a mistake that God gave us this huge and great natural resources, it's not by accident but because God wants the best for all mankind. We are all Creatures created by the Creator to create all other creations. God won't come down to do our responsibilities for us, r
