Afrobeat star Seun Kuti has shared his views on prayer, saying he does not believe in it and has never prayed in his life.

In a video shared on his Instagram page, the musician described prayer as ineffective and argued that a person’s life is shaped by choices and actions rather than prayers.
“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 the public or aloud is eye service. It is childishness,” he claimed.

Kuti further described public or loud prayer as “eye service,” adding that he considers the act childish.

He also questioned widely held beliefs about God, arguing that if events are already predetermined by divine will, prayer becomes meaningless unless it aligns with that will.
“This concept of God that most people have is why prayer is even now completely noid and void. Because this God you talked about, you claimed he has already written down what is going to happen from the beginning to end; his will must be done.

The Afrobeat musician said he believes in solving problems through personal effort rather than prayer.

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