Passionate Prayers or Money Palaver? (Just a Joke)


This happened in a certain church in Nigeria:

One Sunday morning, everybody in the church was
praying as usual. Telling God his or her own problems.


At one end was a young girl, who was very agitated,
Shouting and praying that God should help her with two
thousand naira. That's all she needed.

At the same time, one desperate looking man at the
back of the church was quietly asking God to help him
with with fifty million naira.

The young girl was getting louder and more persistent
with her request. Shouting, jumping and begging that
God should please help her with two thousand naira.

The desperate man at the back then went up to her and
asked "ah ah, is it only you that God will hear today?

Girl what's your problem now?"
The girl replied that she needed two thousand naira
badly.
The man hissed loudly, took two thousand naira from
his pocket and said "I beg you, take this and be quiet so
that God can concentrate on my problem!!!"
