If you had religious parents, then you must have experienced the following:

1. You are always first in Church

And you’d be waiting for church service to start like:

Truly religious Ghanaian parents usually double as church workers. And church workers must always be at the church hours before anyone else.

2. And you'd be last to leave

Despite the 3-hour service that has made you extra hungry, you'd have to wait for your parents to greet everybody before leaving. It's even worse if your parents are elders who have to be in meeting after church.

3. Morning devotions

Very loooooong morning devotions. Morning devotion in your house is just as long as a typical church service. Waking up early was such a pain!

4. You become a prayer point

Did you get bad grades at school? Prayer point! Misbehaving at home or in school? Prayer point. And most often when your parents don't get to sub you during the long-ass morning devotions, they would make sure they do in church.

7. No friendship/relationship with the opposite sex
