Afrobeat star Seun Kuti has shared his opinion on prayer, revealing that he doesn’t believe in prayer.

In a recent video broadcast via his Instagram account, Kuti stated that he had never prayed before.

According to him, praying is childish. He argued that choices and actions, not prayers, shape an individual.

“I have never prayed before in my life. I don’t know how to pray. I don’t believe it works. Your life is your prayer. Praying in public or aloud is eye service. It is childishness,” he claimed.

“Your life is the prayer. What you do with your life is your prayer. That is the only prayer. Your action is prayer. Somebody say so you don’t believe in God?

“This concept of God that most people have is why prayer is, even now, completely null and void. Because this God you talked about, you claimed he has already written down what is going to happen from the beginning to the end; his will must be done.

“So, except your prayer aligns with his will… If your prayer does not align with the will of your God, then your prayer will not be answered. But clerics won’t tell you this because they want to exploit you.

“I solve my problems. I don’t pray over my problems. If prayer solves problems, prisons and hospitals would be empty,” he added.
