Screen writer, Rita Onwurah, is unable to come to terms with the penchant our business men on this side of the Atlantic have for attributing their success or big break to God- without more.

Earlier this evening, Folorunsho Alakija was credited with saying God was the reason for her first break.

Do see below:

Q: How did you go from barely breaking even to being worth millions.

Oyibo: *Talks about investments & risks taken*
Nigerian: It's God.

Yes we know /understand God will have a hand in it.
But will the millions just drop like that from the firmament above? ?

This sounds like something like @asemota said and I quoted in my essay.

They're making Him look like a magician who just poofs up money anyhow. https://t.co/R4auPG57Ba

I swear I'm tired.
The next person I hear it from, I'm switching off immediately. Don't have time for such abeg. https://t.co/4825nxgSrb

They really have nothing to say, so GOD becomes the auto response

— Don Blazito Fischeti (@blazeotokpa) October 29, 2016

If a CEO of a business gives this as a response, then one has to question how much they really know about/are involved in their business. https://t.co/V8GO0nKc8O

You will see some CEOs quoting figures & percentages and you'll be dazed.
How on earth am I supposed to take an 'It's God' CEO serious?

— Rita C. Onwurah (@RitaOnwurah) October 29, 2016

This doesn't make any sense. There are oyibo CEOs who are people of faith and they definitely will NOT answer that question with "It's God" https://t.co/zxzgUkTOP1

Because this is Nigeria. Because village people abound. Because the moment you talk processes, you jinx everything. https://t.co/kQYaRaxP2G

Or
1. They really have no idea.
2. They cut a lot of corners to get there.

— Rita C. Onwurah (@RitaOnwurah) October 29, 2016

Ehn, you want the corners uncut so the money disappears? Of course theyve got no idea, the third option was for the few. https://t.co/ejYLo7t7In

— Countess (@MsToluh) October 29, 2016

Even politicians that are directly dipping their hands in the cookie jar to move the monies out say it's the work of God…all in front pews https://t.co/VrJZLUXc2b

— SoulJah (@jeffphilips1) October 29, 2016

Very sad. Maybe they don't understand the question. What does the process look like ?! https://t.co/6ZoyFvllT8

— AWP Network! (@AfricWomenPower) October 29, 2016

They do. They just don't have the answer.
Or they don't want to tell. https://t.co/rzmltxWkNi
