It is true that the Christian faith is very strong in Sub-Saharan Africa. Africans are strongly religious and this is vivid in their mudus vivendi. Everything in Africa starts with a prayer and this shapes people’s lives and their behavior.

The Africans should be very clever to sort out what is acceptable and what is not.
