Singer Dennis Nana Dwamena popularly known as KiDi, has disclosed that the Presbyterian Church refused him the opportunity to do his National Service at its Headquarters in Accra, after he was posted there.<\/p>\n
Graduates from tertiary institutions in Ghana are obliged to carry out a compulsory 12-month National Service supervised by the National Service Secretariat.<\/p>\n
In an interview with Franky 5 on \u2018This Is Gospel\u2019 on Hitz FM, KiDi revealed that staff at the Church\u2019s Headquarters turned him away when he went to complete his registration.<\/p>\n
\u2018\u2018It was the Presbyterian Headquarters\u2026I didn\u2019t choose it\u2026That was my first posting. I remember that day walking into that building and those guys rejected me. They were like, \u2018no you don\u2019t look like you were supposed to work here. Are you sure they posted you here? Go back\u2019,\u201d he recounted.<\/p>\n
According to KiDi, the Church refused to allow him to work in the organisation because of his hairstyle.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was wearing a nice shirt. I dressed like I was going to somebody\u2019s job. They said my hair. They just looked at me and judged me that I cannot work there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The \u2018Gal Dem Sugar\u2019 singer added that he went to the National Service Secretariat for reposting after the bitter rejection.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe second posting is where I got, NSS Headquarters. I felt really bad. It was really sad for me. Why would you just look at somebody and judge them,\u201d KiDi quizzed.<\/p>\n
He was, however, happy that his National Service posting to the Presbyterian Headquarters was unsuccessful because he could not have worked with people who were very judgmental.<\/p>\n
KiDi is also disturbed that Christians preach love but easily drive away people from the Church with their actions.<\/p>\n
