Legendary Nollywood star Chiwetalu Agu has sparked debate by declaring that spiritual devotion must be paired with practical action to overcome financial struggles.

In a trending social media clip, the seasoned performer debunked the notion that supplication alone can banish economic hardship.

He maintained that genuine wealth stems from persistent labor and dedication, clarifying that faith without works remains incomplete.



“Prayer opens doors to heavenly insights and advantages, but industriousness transforms those gifts into tangible results,” the veteran thespian emphasized.

Agu cautioned against passive dependency on miracles, advocating instead for proactive economic engagement as essential for national development.



“Financial struggle won’t vanish through incantations. Say amen till sunrise—without diligent labor, hardship will persist.”

“While spiritual communion is vital, it’s the marriage of devotion and determination that creates prosperity. Heaven rewards those who combine faith with footwork, not those waiting for manna from the skies,” he concluded.
