Nigerians pray “extra” over country’s struggling economy

Some people from Nigeria prayed for their country because they think that the economy is getting worse.

Muslim traders in Nigeria’s largest textile market, Kantin Kwari, in Kano state, left their shops to pray on the streets because they want God to help the economy.

One shop owner, Hamisu Sani, said to the media that many people are struggling because they can’t afford to buy enough food.

“We asked God for help because we don’t know what our leaders are doing to fix the economy. ”

“A poor person can’t afford a bag of rice and sugar anymore. We need God’s help,” he said.

In the last few years, the cost of food has been going up in Nigeria.

The government’s decision to remove subsidies on petrol made the situation even worse.
