I opened a radio station and by God\u2019s grace, people tuned in to listen to my radio. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was told that the hospitals have shortages of blood, so, I should use my medium to help advertise so they will get people to donate blood and I accepted to help. I love helping humanity, so, it wasn\u2019t a problem for me,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>Dr Despite also recounted a personal experience involving a patient who had been admitted to the 37 Military Hospital after an accident and urgently needed blood.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI knew someone who had an accident and was taken to 37 Military Hospital. I was with the person at the hospital most of the time. The doctors said they needed blood for the patient and extra two as standby,\u201d he narrated. <\/p>\n<p>According to him, efforts to secure blood for the patient proved difficult, especially since the patient\u2019s family members were all abroad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe patient\u2019s family members were all abroad. We searched for blood everywhere but we didn\u2019t find. I pleaded for them to try and get the blood elsewhere so that when everything is fine, they will get the blood back to them. That\u2019s when we got someone to donate the blood for the patient,\u201d he shared. <\/p>\n<p>Lumba&#8217;s Funeral Feud: Osei Kwame Despite addresses claims of backing Odo Broni<\/p>\n<p>Dr Kwame Despite Osei said the experience left him deeply saddened and motivated him to use his media platform to help others in similar situations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was so sad. I have a medium where people could hear me when I speak so I decided to help to save someone\u2019s life,\u201d he stated. <\/p>\n<p>However, he expressed disappointment that his efforts to help humanity were later met with allegations intended to tarnish his image.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter all this, I got one person to spoil my reputation. The person wanted to spoil everything I\u2019ve laboured for just because I helped someone. The person said I\u2019m an occult and I don\u2019t even know what occult is,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<p>Dr Kwame Despite further disclosed that he only became aware of the term through the allegations and maintained that he has lived a righteous life since returning to Ghana.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI only heard of it during the allegations. Ever since I was deported to Ghana, I\u2019ve tried to live a righteous life and I have always made sure I paid my tithe fully. I\u2019m not a bad person, so, I was surprised someone wanted to tarnish my image,\u201d he stressed. <\/p>\n<p>Appealing to the public, the businessman urged Ghanaians not to judge him based on the accusations, insisting he harbours no evil intentions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf anyone should have me in their homes, they would know I\u2019m not a bad person at all so I\u2019m urging Ghanaians not to see me that way. I can\u2019t do any evil against anyone,\u201d Dr Osei added.<\/p>\n<p>FG\/AE<\/p>\n<p><b>Watch Ofori Amponsah discuss interesting issues surrounding Lumba\u2019s death, career path on this episode of Talkertainment:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"6x9EBOEFXzk\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ofori Amponsah speaks on Lumba\u2019s death, intriguing career journey and more\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6x9EBOEFXzk?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Osei Kwame Despite is a Ghanaian businessman and media mogul Renowned Ghanaian businessman and media mogul, Dr Kwame Despite Osei, has denied allegations linking him to occult practices.
