Prayer Doesn’t Work; I Have Never Prayed Before In My Life – Nigerian Singer, Seun Kuti Claims (Video)

Seun Kuti, the Afrobeat star, has shared his views on prayer, revealing that he does not believe in it.

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

According to him, praying is childish. He argued that choices and actions are what shape an individual’s and not 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.

“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 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.

“So, except your prayer aligns with his will… If your prayer does not align with the will of this 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.

No Artist Is Wack, Every Music Is Tailored Made – 2baba Says, Explains Why (Video)

Innocent Idibia, the legendary Nigerian singer, who is widely known as 2Baba, has weighed in on the issue of mediocrity in the music industry, addressing why some artists are often labeled as “wack.”

Speaking in a video broadcast, the African Queen crooner claiming that there is no such thing as “wack artists,” arguing that every music is tailored made and acceptance is narrowed down to promotion and other commercial strategies/reasons.

He said, “Every music is tailored made to evoke an emotion, to create a spirit. There is nothing like a wack artiste.

“That is why many of the so-called wack artists are more bankable than the talented ones. Because they understand that it is not the art itself, it is the marketing of that art.

“No matter how talented you are or how sweet your music is, there is no music that everybody likes.

“Everything is narrowed down to the marketing, promotion and the business. It is only those who resonate with your music that will like it naturally.”

Nollywood Actress, Regina Daniels Shares Christmas Photos With Her Kids Amid Custody Battle With Ned Nwoko

As Christians around the world mark the Christmas celebration today, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has taken a moment to reflect on motherhood and her children.

The actress and mother of two shared a series of throwback Christmas photos on her Instagram page, featuring herself and her children dressed in matching green pyjamas.

Though she acknowledged that the pictures were taken some time ago, Regina described them as timeless and deeply meaningful to her.

In an emotional caption, she noted that despite her active social life and public image, her children remain permanently close to her heart.

She wrote: “Old? Maybe. Golden? Always in my heart. Merry Christmas everyone. Love, Mama MK.”

Her post comes amid an ongoing and highly publicized family dispute. About a week ago, Regina had publicly called out her husband, politician Ned Nwoko, accusing him of deliberately cutting her off from her children. She claimed she had not spoken to them since mid-November, alleging that he dismissed all her nannies, pressured them into making false statements, and filed for full custody of the children, despite already having them in his care.

In a follow-up post at the time, Regina shared screenshots of a conversation with one of her children’s nannies, who reportedly told her she had resigned because Nwoko was allegedly taking out frustrations from marital issues on the staff. Regina expressed sadness over being unable to care for her child, Moon, following these developments.

Responding to the allegations, Ned Nwoko dismissed Regina’s claims, describing them as misleading and inconsistent with their family’s long-standing practices. He stated that sharing photos and videos of their children had always been normal within the family and pointed out that Regina herself had publicly posted the children for years without raising privacy concerns. According to him, her absence from the children’s lives was a personal decision rather than a restriction imposed on her.
