There is too much God in our daily discussions – Fashola

The Minister of Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola, has said that Nigerians bring to much God into their daily talks and affairs.
According to him, most people want God to do everything for them without playing their own part.
He said this during a Channels Television programme, Hard Copy.
“There is enough work for God to do,” he said. “In our daily conversation now, there is too much God. God says, ‘Work and pray’. But do we do the work? God didn’t make money, it is people who make money. So, you need to go and work for money.”
He also spoke about inter-marriages among religions and tribes, based on the fact that his wife, Abimbola, is a Christian while he is a Muslim.
According to him, there is no problem with a union like that, noting that many people have continued to marry across faiths and tribes in Nigeria.
On many Nigerians struggling to get out of Nigeria due to social-political and economic pressure, Fashola said such migration was not peculiar to Nigeria alone, noting that a lot of foreigners had also continued to apply for Nigerian citizenship.
