Religion is something that is personal and not needed in schools that are how I see it - Wanlov the Kubolor

Ghanaian musician, Wanlov the Kubolor says he is hesitant to pay school fees because teachers are teaching his son how to sing useless Christian songs.

Emmanuel Owusu-Bonsu popularly called Wanlov emphasized that schools should focus on teaching colors, numbers and other important subjects and leave religion for the religious authorities.

The 36-year-old recounted that he immediately had to change his son’s first Ghanaian school because he was singing useless Christian songs at home.

“When my first born, Abonsamposoro came to Ghana for the first time I took him to a school in Accra, before he was admitted I asked the school’s authority if they would be teaching him anything on religion whether Christianity, Muslim or tradition, I asked because I don’t want him to be preached to on Christianity, it is not needed in school, so just teach him numbers, colours and rainbows”.

Wanlov said, “a couple of days after his admission he began to sing a gospel song from school, I immediately took him from that school, I am a bit hesitant in paying my kids school fees because they sing useless songs”.

“Religion is something that is personal and not needed in schools that are how I see it, I don’t believe schools should teach about religion they should just teach what they are supposed to.”
