@therealkay_guy: “White man will just pick his passport, check travel requirements, book flight and awaaay buss. For a black man to travel, he must avoid his family and friends, go to church, pray fervently, fast for 40 days and still travel on connection move.”
@KSnetne: “Faith is powerful, but let’s remember, God works in mysterious ways, but the embassy works with documents. Prayers and preparation go hand in hand!”
@JamesKwandoh: “Mental brain washing. Why don’t you pray to God alone.”
@emman_thompson: “For lack of knowledge, my people perish.”
@MrDonewells: “I know this is meant to create some mischief but I see nothing strange and foolish about this. It’s an act of faith just like any other prayer.”
@Gordonguggis: “There is nothing wrong with this. It’s about your faith. If you don’t believe in it that’s fine. It’s about their faith simple. Those who don’t believe it’s ok, take your passport straight to the embassy and get your visa. Those who believe in this will also do it. That’s it.”
@DarrenGh1: “Before you critique them, remember we all have what works for us. If religion works for them, let them go ahead and do it. Don’t behave as if your way is the best. Have a great day.”
