Museveni urges more work, not prayers

President Yoweri Museveni has urged the people to spend more time working, not praying.

The president said the people’s fundamental mission on earth was to work and invent ideas and solutions that would help them have dominion over all creatures.

He expressed the sentiments during Uganda’s 19th National Prayer Breakfast at Hotel Africana in Kampala that was organised by the Parliament.The Ugandan leader pointed out that man’s fundamental mission, as stipulated by God in the book of Genesis in the Holy Bible, is dominion over nature.

He said he hates the helpless approach of people, spending days and nights “praying…praying and shouting as if God is deaf,” while ignoring the fundamental role of dominion over nature.

For the last 500 years, President Museveni noted, Africans had absented themselves from the fundamental mission of dominion over other creatures.
