Ghanaian musician Kwame Nsiah-Apau, popularly known as Okyeame Kwame has opened up on his religious orientation.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Joy Prime,<\/em> he said he does not subscribe to one religion.\u00a0 According to him, he is an omnist; he derives faith and inspiration from every religion.<\/p>\n \u201cI was born as a Christian in the Methodist Church and then I grew up in the Christian faith until I was maybe 14 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n Most of my values are Christian. My father was a Catholic. My mother went to the Methodist Church so I grew up doing catechism and all that. I went to an Anglican school so most of my socialisation has been very Christian. But in my adult life, I don\u2019t think I can call myself a Christian in the full sense. I call myself on omnist,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n The Rap Dacta further explained that when it comes to loving nature, respecting trees and rivers, he defers to the African tradition; his love for animals makes him a Buddhist; when it comes to the \u2018love your neighbor as yourself\u2019 teaching in the Bible, he is Christian; but he also becomes a Muslim for his extreme respect to God and owing all power for him.\u00a0<\/p>\n He added that he does not want to limit himself to one religion so that he cannot tap into the virtues of the other religions.\u00a0<\/p>\n Asked if he believes in Jesus Christ, Okyeame Kwame said: \u201cbelief is a dangerous word. Very dangerous. I think that one of key reasons why Africans don\u2019t develop as quick as we want to is because of the word \u2018belief\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n He said knowing something is stronger than believing it; the word \u2018believe\u2019 means having been told about something and not querying its verity even though there is not empirical evidence to back it.<\/p>\n \u201cThe question of believing in Jesus Christ, that I don\u2019t have an answer for because I wasn\u2019t there. It happened 2000 years ago. There is no way for me to verify whether it happened or not. However, I know that if I live my life like Jesus Christ, I will be a better person,\u201d he the host Kwame Dadzie in the interview.<\/p>\n In January 2023, the \u2018Yeeko\u2019 hit maker, as part of getting himself acquainted with various religions, met with Sadhguru, the founder of the Insha Foundation, when he visited India.<\/p>\n The foundation, established in 1992, operates an ashram and yoga centre that carries out educational and spiritual activities.<\/p>\n Okyeame Kwame is currently promoting his \u2018Love Equation\u2019 boxer shorts which he says was made from coconut fibre.\u00a0<\/p>\n As a Climate Clock Ambassador he believes preserving the environment is a great responsibility of humankind.<\/p>\n Source: Joy News<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n
