Entertainment pundit, Ola Michael
Ghanaian TV and radio personality Ola Michael has publicly criticised the trend of some prophets who repeatedly predict negative happenings about celebrities.
His comments come in reaction to a prophecy by Rev. Jedidia Henry Kore, popularly known as Prophet Fire Ogya, against musician Black Sherif.
Prophet Ogya, a while ago, claimed that Black Sherif’s career would ‘die’ if there was no prayer.
This development led to backlash on social media.
However, reacting to this and many more of such prophecies, Ola Michael, during his Neat FM show, lambasted Prophet Fire Ogya and other pastors who have a habit of carving doom prophecies about creatives.
“It is one thing to pray if you see something bad going to happen. But to claim… when someone is shining, that is when they come up with bad news.
“These prophets should stop all these statements. They always prophecy bad things… They will never say anything good about our celebrities,” he said.
He argued that while spiritual intercession is good, publicly declaring misfortune about talented individuals can rather harm their careers and public perceptions of them.
He urged religious figures to shift their approach from doom prophecies and to rather use their platforms to uplift rising talents.
