Ola Michael has drawn the line: “Enough of these prophesies against our stars”
The presenter of Neat FM and UTV berated self-proclaimed prophets who keep predicting doom over the Ghanaian celebrities.
He claimed such gloomy forecasts hurt reputations and cause unnecessary panic. Ola argues that a number of celebrities have fallen victims of false prophecies meant to gain attention. He told these prophets to cease using public figures.
Unless something is done, Ola Michael cautioned, the trend may continue to undermine faith in the entertainment business. He opined that the practitioners must give importance to the mental health of artists rather than sensationalism.
He urged the media and the viewer not to believe unconfirmed prophecies. Rather, he encouraged people to emphasize on talent appreciation and positive stories. He thinks this is the right way to invest in the creative community in Ghana.
The message in Ola has caught up fast online and this has sparked a wider debate on respect, responsibility and the role of prophetic voices in society. His request stresses the necessity of shielding public figures against negative discourses.
Being a fan, journalist, or spiritual leader, the words of Ola Michael are a strong reminder of the fact that it is time to stop all the negativity and instead bring our stars up.
