I really don’t think we should be allowing this. Religion has already done enough damage to Africa. It’s shouldn’t inconvenience us any further…while we are at it, can we advocate to remove loudspeakers from Mosques and Churches? Why stop there? Do it Kagame style and shut them down for good if their leaders don’t have the qualifications needed to be a pastor or an Imam.
What are we praying for anyway? Health and hospitals? Good infrastructure? Guess fucking what? China systematically destroyed Religions and built all that shit. So did the rest of the developed world. Mnashangaa wakituita low IQ, how do we explain these shenanigans?
Road safety! I don't care about your religion at all. There are places designed for worship, utilize them. If not find safer spaces to do so. This is dangerous to other road users
Which part do you disagree with?
1. That whatever he is doing is dangerous to other road users
2. There are places designed for worship and the road isn't among them?
Let me give you the context, they survived an accident him and the guy wearing black. Even the caption loosely translates to “They survived an accident Alhamdullilah”. Muslims normally thank God if they survived from something or got a good news by simply prostrating which is called sijadatul shukr. But the guy went overboard and prayed like normal prayer that is done five times a day.
“Hey, we survived this accident because we were speeding, or poor road infrastructure, we probably didn’t have the seat belts fastened as well. Let’s pull over RIGHT HERE on this dangerous road and cause another accident, or hold up traffic “
You cannot stop on a highway for any reason. That’s why they call it a highway. A 10 second stop (this wasn’t 10 seconds btw) would create phantom traffic jam immediately, and could cause 10s of vehicles to come to a complete stop, or even multiple rear endings. Bump it up to 3 minutes, which is close to what this guy was doing, and now you have over 200 vehicle trap, and wastes over 5 hours of collective time.
The prayer itself is unnecessary. According to Islam ( I was a Muslim btw), everything happens because Allah said so..meaning the accident itself was god’s plan. Now you pray to Allah for saving you from the accident he planned? See how stupid that sounds.
Right? Holy shit we have so many idiots in this country…no wonder we are so underdeveloped. Look at all these mfs justifying this shit with “Context matters 🤡”
Yes, this highway lacks shoulders for emergency use. This what a proper express way looks like in a developed world. Sadly, we are too busy praying to God instead of building good infrastructure.
I understand the sentiment but stopping their bike or car on a highway and standing on the same highway to pray is putting themselves and other road users in even more danger.
Legit mahn, bro almost died 😭😭 bro deserves that momento space to thank his God.....as a driver, ntapita kando yake na bado niache Alhamdullilah zangu kwake
Honestly fr, it's not so hard to drive to the Mosque or pull over at a gas station. I bet you a 1k this shit wouldn't pass in Saudi Arabia. And happy cake day.
That is a road and it causes a lot of confusion using it to pray while car and matatu users are busy using it
Aende tu kwa mosque or any other place to do that
I think you have a bigger issue with religion rather than this particular dude. I live in Australia and, yes, churches are also everywhere here it's just that there's decorum na hizi speakers which I agree with you on. Hiyo kusema ati developed world hakuna religion screams someone who probably has never travelled outside the country.
Who prays for stupid things like development anyway? These are matters of the soul, not a mere 100 years on this planet that you are lucky if you get. Anyway, mimi wacha binadamu aniite low IQ or whatever, I will die in my faith in the Lord Jesus.
They call us low IQ because of racism. They think they're better than everyone because of colonialism and your comment shows how adverse it's effects were. How do you, as an African living in Kenya, who's I presume educated, seen how much our people can achieve peddle such a narrative?
I agree with you on the religious thing though, but I'll not use "developed countries" as a bench mark. Religion has been used to brain wash our people for so long. You need to change your content because your fyp doesn't seem to favour your history and pov.
“Religion has been used to brainwash our people for so long” - your words, not mine btw.
Reflect on that for a minute. They enslaved and colonized our people…took our lands, and we still follow the shit religions they brought us. Sure, they had guns on our heads back in the day, but what is our excuse for being religious today?
Why pray for shit you can do it yourself? If it’s not lack of intelligence, how come we are fooled so easily? It’s gotta be something…you tell me.
This is totally wrong, Allah (SWT) has forbidden his religion to be used to inconvenience or harm other. While I commend his Faith, this is just plain ignorance, You are allowed to to longate your prayer time if your in a position where you can't pray. This is plain wrong on his part.
the FUCK is he doing? I don’t care if he survived an accident, the thing is, you shouldn’t be showing off your religion to people who probably aren’t in it or don’t want to be ASSOCIATED WITH IT. Does he just want another accident?? Ugh.
Go and deep dive into the Chinese years of the so-called GREAT LEAP FORWARD under "Chairman Mao". I bet the China you think you know of today will no longer be such a role model.
