Popular Nigerian skit maker, Cute Abiola, is facing criticism online after his unexpected prayer request during Nathaniel Bassey’s Hallelujah Challenge.
The Hallelujah Challenge, a spiritual event organised by gospel singer Nathaniel Bassey and his prayer team, typically draws participants seeking divine intervention for serious life challenges.
However, Cute Abiola’s unconventional plea stood out.
While many participants focused on weighty personal and spiritual matters, Cute Abiola took to the comment section to pray for a flat tummy before March 1st. His exact words were, “I pray has for flat tummy before March 1st.”
The skit maker’s lighthearted prayer quickly became a talking point, with mixed reactions pouring in from social media users.
Some found humour in his request, but others believed it was inappropriate given the nature of the programme.
The debate has since intensified, with some defending Cute Abiola’s right to present any prayer request he wishes, while others argue that certain settings demand a more serious tone.
The incident highlights broader discussions about the appropriate use of public religious platforms and the expectations surrounding them.
