Football legend Asamoah Gyan has expressed his disapproval of long church services.

He was on Instagram (IG) Live when he said, preferably, religious gatherings should not go beyond one hour and thirty minutes.

According to the former Black Stars captain, shortening the service time did not mean quality had to be sacrificed. He said, if heeded, his advice would improve attendance.

“Church services should be short with quality, not long, to encourage people to attend. If it can be done within one hour and thirty minutes, it will be fine,” the football and music star said.

He emphasised long services were boring, illustrating his point by underlining his lengthy IG Live broadcast.

“When it's too long, it becomes boring. So, I'm pleading with all pastors to consider this concern. Even as I seem to be speaking for a long time, it's becoming boring,” the entertainer and entrepreneur said.

With 109 appearances and 51 goals, Asamoah Gyan is Ghana’s all-time Black Stars top scorer.
