And now it\u2019s become an issue of prophecy. Prophets are rushing to say \u2018I said it first\u2019. Nonsense!\u201d he fumed.<\/p>\n<p>To him, many Ghanaians are still stuck in \u201cprimitivity\u201d hence majority paying attention to such assertions in the name of prophecy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHave you heard in America that a celebrity has died in America and reverend whatever, or T.D Jakes say \u2018we saw it coming?\u2019 No. Why? They are evolved, Chief. It\u2019s only in an unevolved society that where attention is paid to primitivity that prophets rush to claim that they saw that she (Ebony) was gonna to die,\u201d he told Kofi Oppong Asamoah, the host.<\/p>\n<p>The satirist does not believe in prophecy but he, however, would not belittle those who do. He thinks it is being overdone in Ghana because \u201cwe are not evolved.\u201d He said it was time the nation changed from such ways because they are time wasting and inhibit progress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I\u2019m saying that among the other things that we are suffering as a nation today is our obsession with this religion thing. It is killing us but we don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been to places where they have all night (service) for those who want job and the pastor will say catch the job. \u2018huri na s? w\u2019adwuma no\u2019. You don\u2019t get a job by jumping in church. When can Ghanaians understand that you get a job by being an intelligent person who\u2019s ready to contribute. Let\u2019s not make religion tell us that we can make it through short cuts. . .its very, very sad for people like me,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 63 updated by: 63 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Thursday, 15 February 2018 Source: XYZ 2018-02-15 Kwaku Sintim Misa Veteran comedian Kwaku Sintim Misa otherwise known as KSM has hit hard on Ghanaians on how they go about religious activities. \u201cOur insane and misapplication of religion is one\u201d, he said as he outlined some of the challenges inhibiting the development of Ghana [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":464578,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-464576","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/464576","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=464576"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/464576\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=464576"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=464576"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=464576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
