Nigel Gaisie reveals his birth name and why he ditched it

The founder and leader of Prophetic Hill Church, Prophet Nigel Gaisie has revealed that he was born Daniel Kwabena Baah but later adopted the surname Gaisie after his maternal aunt changed his name and gave him that of her husband.

Speaking on Adom TV’s M’ashyaseɛ, the founder and leader of Prophetic Hill Chapel explained that his aunt made the decision because she believed his father had not lived a worthy life.

“I was born Daniel Kwabena Baah, but my aunt said my father had not lived a worthy life. So, she changed my name and gave me the name of her husband. That name has really helped me,” he said.

Prophet Gaisie explained that the surname Gaisie belonged to his mother’s younger sister’s husband, who, together with his wife, took care of him following the separation of his parents.

He further disclosed that his aunt’s husband was Professor Kwabena Gaisie, who was associated with the Regional Institute of Population Studies (RIPS).

He said the couple played a significant role in his upbringing, providing him with a comfortable life despite the financial difficulties his biological parents faced.

“My mother’s younger sister and her husband raised me after my parents separated. She was the richest person in the family, so I was really pampered and given the best in life, even though my parents were poor,” he recounted.

The preacher also disclosed that he comes from a family of eight children, including himself, and stressed that he has never denied his birth identity.

“I have eight siblings, including me. I don’t run away from my actual identity,” he added.
