Ghana: A Country Where Prophets and Spiritualists Love Money & Fame More than Telling the Truth

I love Ghana. This is because I am sure to wake up every morning and laugh to some idiotic jokes, wacky thoughts, weird beliefs and assumptions. Whoever told you it’s not worth living here surely does not want you to progress in life.

What makes it more pleasurable is the fact that there exist some prophets and spiritualists out here who cannot differentiate their left from right, but are able to prognosticate what lies ahead in the future or what goes on in the spiritual realm.

Let an issue come up; then you’ll get to see the outrageous number of prophets and spiritualists who will jump and feed on the issue. What at all did we (Ghanaians and the world) not hear from some so-called Men of God and spiritualists when the Ghanaian national team – Black Stars – were in Brazil for the 2014 World Cup?

Prophecies upon prophecies on various radio and television stations were foretold. From that time up till now, I can’t really tell what happened to those divinations. Even the notorious and fame-driven ‘Goat beard’ prophet couldn’t have his God-sent prophecy about the Black Stars come true.

As for Kwaku Bonsam, I do not even want to write about him. The only spiritualist who can boast of bettering the lives of others, yet cannot refurbish his damaged face.

It is quite surprising that you hardly hear from these ones till an issue comes up. A typical example is the heart-rending incident that has befallen Hiplife musician Castro (real name – Theophilus Tagoe) and his friend, Janet Bandu.

Within few hours after the unpleasant incident occurred, many were the prophets and spiritualists who came out with their theories to shore up the drowning case. Up till now, new prophets and spiritualists emerge everyday to add their voices to the issue.

You do not need intellectuals like Shakespeare, Isaac Newton, or Mahatma Gandhi to resurrect from the dead and tell you such ones are throwing dust in the eyes of the public. There seems to be no coherence and logic in whatever they put out.
