A fan known as Jamzy on X reacted to the post and slammed Akindele for recording her prayer and broadcasting it. According to him, she was just trying to show off that she was a prayer warrior.

The fan also mentioned that the bible says that people should not pray in public and women should not also not pray when men are there.

Funke Akindele replies fans

Reacting to what the man said, the movie star, who renewed her friendship with Eniola Badmus thanked him and called the person a man of God.

However, her fans thrashed the man. They stated that he has been brainwashed by the Jews and that he was not a good Christian.

Reactions have trailed the post made by the man about Akindele. Here are some of the comments below:

@YoDjJamzy:

“Why show off. Prayers directed to God aren’t meant to be recorded and broadcasted. What’s the essence? Showing y’all are prayer warriors? Remember what Jesus said bout ppl praying out loud in public spaces?Plus, Christians believes a woman shouldn’t lead a prayer when men are in attendance.”

@Boo1746734:

“Which Christians Abeg oo if na u talk say na you which one Christians believe please oo we don’t abi you don’t know of Deborah and other prophetesses in the Bible?”

@tomzie296:

“People way Jews are brainwashed, they can’t see the truth now until someone comes out to say, Jesus doesn’t answer their prayers. Y’all should go back to your ancestors because we’re worshipping a white man religion and we left our ancestor’s power thinking it’s the Devil.”
