Ghanaian evangelist and former spiritualist, Patricia Asiedua, widely known as Nana Agradaa, has stirred social media discussions after claiming her hairstyle cost $4,000. The statement, made during a recent sermon at her Heaven Way Church in Accra, has drawn both admiration and criticism from the public.
In a video that has since gone viral, Agradaa, dressed in a flowing white gown, proudly showcased her new hairstyle, asserting its hefty price tag. She emphasized that the luxurious hairdo was a testament to her status as a “natural and wealthy woman of God.” The declaration sparked a flurry of reactions online, with some praising her confidence and others questioning the appropriateness of such extravagance from a religious leader.
This is not the first time Agradaa has been at the center of controversy. In April 2021, she announced her conversion from traditional priesthood to Christianity, adopting the name Evangelist Patricia Oduro Koranteng. Despite this transformation, she has faced legal challenges, including a conviction for operating a television station without a license and promoting a money-doubling scheme known as “sika gari,” resulting in fines and a potential prison sentence.
Agradaa’s recent display of wealth, including the acquisition of four luxury vehicles and a plush mansion, has further fueled debates about her authenticity and the source of her income. Critics argue that such opulence contradicts the humility expected of religious figures, while supporters view it as evidence of divine favor and success.
The evangelist has also revealed that she earns substantial income from social media platforms like TikTok and YouTube, claiming to make over $2,000 from a single live session. She has stated that even if her church were to fail, she would continue to thrive financially through her online presence.
As discussions continue, Agradaa remains a polarizing figure, embodying the complex interplay between faith, wealth, and public perception in contemporary Ghanaian society.
