I Don’t Go To Church Every Week. When I Was In Morocco, I Went To A Mosque And I Prayed” Oliseh

According to a video posted on Global Football Insight YouTube channel on Friday October 23, 2026, former Super Eagles player Sunday Oliseh said he does not go to church every week but keeps a personal relationship with God. He said he has also prayed in a mosque while travelling. He made the comments in an interview on the channel’s podcast.

The host asked whether he is religious or spiritual, and whether he has his own relationship with God without being a regular churchgoer. Oliseh said he is a Christian. He said he relates to God one-on-one.

In his words, Sunday Oliseh said, “I don’t go to church every week. In fact, at times, like when I was in Morocco, I went to a mosque and I prayed. But I’m a Christian. I believe more in this relationship with God one-on-one. So that is how I relate.

“I just see him as if, for me, he’s my father. And I think I’m in the right position to share that this actually works, because all through my life, there are so many things that have happened. It’s kind of like they happened timely, that you know that it’s not human,” he said.

Oliseh said he has seen what he described as many interventions in his life. He said the events came at the right time. He said these experiences led him to believe in a force above everyone.

He said that from a very young age he has been afraid of doing bad because he feels God would punish him somehow. He said that belief has guided him throughout his life. He joked about feeling pain after being kicked on the pitch and thinking it was a punishment.

Oliseh also gave credit to his mother for her teaching. He said she told him that if somebody offends him, he should leave it to God and not take revenge. He said that if a person punishes someone in his or her own way, it may not hurt the most, but God knows what hurts the most.
