In Chapter 9 of the Gospel of Aid, the Nigerian author and satirist Elnathan John writes:
CHAPTER 9: The Aid Prayer
- You must pray then this way: Our donors, who art abroad, hallowed be thy purse. Thy aid come in dollars and pounds.
- Thy will be done in our countries, as promoted by Bono
- Give us this day, our yearly funding
- And lead us not into self-reliance
- But deliver us from our selves
- For thine are dollars, the pounds and the euros, forever and ever. Amen
The rest of the “Gospel” in all its hilarity is here.
Have a blessed Tuesday.
