A Nigerian lady recently took to her social media page to narrate how she joined her Uber driver in prayers while on a trip and it has sparked a debate on micro-blogging website, Twitter.
She tweeted ;
On my way home this evening, I noticed my Uber driver praying in tongues!
The excitement I felt in my heart ehn, I joined in and we prayed in tongues.
Turns out he was preparing for a prayer session, guessed who join the session as he drove?
What a night!

However, some social media users were of the opinion that it was ‘unprofessional conduct’ on the part of the driver.

I’m not a killjoy but that was super unprofessional of him.. if he wanted to pray he should have turned off his app and not pick up a request..
Or at least take permission to be sure I’m okay with him doing that..
It’s ok to praise his act; but we forget something: he’s at work

All the comments on here praising unprofessional conduct. We truly are a religious lot but terrible people at heart and in our ways. The hypocrisy stinks. Imagine the guy was muttering incantations or offering a Duah under his breath…

My uncle did this in Texas. uber has banned him for life.

After I join him in speaking the tongues, I will make a video of him so that at the end of the trip, i will give him 1 star and report him to uber for such nonsense.
Prince wrote ;
It is not ethical to pray in tongues while driving; the Bible says it can confuse the unbeliever (I Cor 14).
It is expected though, that more DUI drivers and traffic offenders will escape the “axe” than 1 praying driver.
Pls pray at home.
Which one is praying in tongues … esha ma paro lo

I was in a cab last week when one of my fellow passengers started hyperventilating. The driver parked, gave the woman water and prayed for her. It was a wake up call for me. If the whole world was like me, would we be living in a safe world?

Amen. Will it be the same positive feedback, if the driver was a Muslim and total stranger chanting Allahu Akbar on steering? What did the book of Ecclesiastics 3 say?
