Churchgoer says no to praying for Ghana's leaders
A social media user has sparked a lively debate after sharing a candid moment from their church service last Sunday. The individual revealed that when the congregation was asked to stand for prayers, they opted out of praying for Ghana and its leaders, choosing instead to browse Twitter on their phone.
The user’s honest admission has generated a mix of reactions, with some praising their honesty and others criticizing their decision.
“Eget why cos these leaders can make and unmake the country tbvh,” wrote one Twitter user in support of the churchgoer’s actions.
“Any time I hear ‘let’s pray for our leaders’ then I vex pass,” commented another user, expressing similar sentiments.
On the other hand, some commenters expressed disappointment and concern. “That’s so disrespectful,” one commenter wrote. “We should be praying for our leaders, not dismissing the importance of prayer.”
The debate raises questions about the role of prayer in public life and the willingness of citizens to engage in collective action for the betterment of their country. As the conversation continues, it remains to be seen whether the user’s honesty will inspire others to reevaluate their priorities or spark a wider discussion about the power of prayer.

My church asked us to stand for prayers last sunday. I wasn’t too well but I managed to stand. The first prayer topic was to pray for Ghana and the leaders. I immediately sat down, picked my phone and opened Twitter. I won’t waste my energy on unnecessary things.
