Victor Kpakpo Jnr, popularly known as Azigiza Jnr, has questioned the practice of holding church services during the week, saying people should rather focus on their jobs.
In a video shared by TV3 Ghana on Wednesday March 11, the pastor and media personality said he does not subscribe to the idea of keeping church members in prayer sessions during working days.
His remarks came during a conversation with actress and musician Ivy Adjimah, who was asked what she would change about Ghana if she had the power to do so for a day.
Responding to the question, Ivy said she would like to see a change in mindset from excessive spirituality to a more balanced approach that also prioritises scientific thinking and problem-solving.
“If I had the power to change something, I would love a great mindset change from too much spiritualism. We should be more focused on working and trying to solve problems scientifically, and not only spiritually,” she said.
Azigiza Jnr agreed that spirituality is important but emphasised that people should not neglect their work because of church activities.
“Unfortunately, quote me anywhere, I am a pastor, but I believe on Monday you should go to work, on Tuesday you should go to work, on Wednesday go to work,” he said.
He said he does not support the idea of pastors keeping their members in church during working days.
“Why should you keep your members in church and be praying? That one, I do not subscribe to that one,” he added.
The statement has added to ongoing discussions about the role of religion in everyday life.
