Afrobeat musician and activist Seun Kuti stirs controversy after sharing his views on prayer and non secular practices.
In a latest assertion, Kuti mentioned he has by no means prayed in his life and doesn’t consider within the effectiveness of prayer.
He criticised what he described as performative spiritual acts, together with public shows of worship corresponding to kneeling, rolling on the bottom, and shouting throughout prayers, which he characterised as pointless and immature.
In keeping with the singer, true spirituality is mirrored not in outward rituals however in how an individual lives their life.
He argued that one’s actions, values, and each day conduct matter greater than verbal prayers or dramatic expressions of religion.
His phrases …
“I’ve by no means prayed earlier than in my life, I don’t consider it really works. All this eye service wey Una dey do, wey Una go go kneel down for floor, dey roll for floor, dey shout, they’re all childishness. Your life is the prayer. What you do along with your life is the prayer.”

“I’ve by no means prayed earlier than in my life, I don’t consider it really works, Praying is infantile. It doesn’t work.”
