Why should Alpha Hour always be at Midnight, it’s stressing our women – Popular Ghanaian politician speaks

There have been other high-profile critics of Pastor Elvis Agyemang’s infamous midnight prayer session.

The CEO of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Program, an NPP leader, is the most recent to question Alpha Hour’s practicality.

Alpha Hour just adds needless strain to our ladies since it robs them of their vital sleep, as Mr. Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, an astute lawmaker, has observed.

He said in a controversial Post on facebook that has since gone viral that ladies who arrive home from work late must stay up late to participate in the daily Alpha Hour prayer session, which begins at 12 a.m.

This cycle continues when they get up to conduct chores around the house and get the kids ready for school.

He spoted;

Alpha Hour and other midnight Prayers sessions …

Our ladies (mostly) close from work tired, they will keep wake and pray from 12 to 1am or beyond. Wake up at dawn to do house chores and prepare their kids for School. Just adding more stress to their lives. Unnecessary stress I think.

Why does it have to be after 12 midnight

Below are some sections;

Effah Sakyi Julius – Life is about choices, live your life and allow others to be….there are some who goes to clubs, pubs, bars etc too …..Allow people to be!

Sandra Ewool  – This is a clear case of crying more than the bereaved. They are the only ones who can indicate if they are stressed or otherwise. Others close from work too and make time for all manner of things. Obiaaaa nni ne lane mu.

Krobea Asante Kotoko – Prior to Alpha Hour people were doing midnight prayers and moreover midnight prayers are voluntary.Those who know the families they come from don’t under rate such prayers.

Clara Kowlaga Kasser-Tee – These women can’t even make their own choices on when to pray in peace. You should probably be more interested in the much greater stresses that drove them there in the first place – causes. Me thinks that is where to look if your interest is to address their stress.

Nana Ama Boamah – In as much as I join Alpha hour sometimes too, I think the points Kofi Ofosu raised are valid and I wish people would rather focus on that and not comment based on emotional sentiments to Alpha hour after all the post is about all other midnight prayers as well.

No one is stopping you to pray but don’t stress yourself so much just to do that because the health implication comes back to affect us all.

By all means pray but The main point is “why must it be after 12”

Stephen Kenneth Nakujah – If you don’t want our ladies to be stressed up, please tell your government to increase their salaries. Fuel and everything keep going up but salaries remain stand still. That is their biggest stress. When your salary is good, your prayer requests will decrease.

Alpha Hour is not mandatory!

Wise King Solomon II – Some people go through all the stresses of the day but instead of sleeping, they Facebook until the early hours of the next day. How about them? I guess the issue here is about choices, not necessarily about midnight prayers or Alpha Hour.
