Fredyma (L) says big men visit Bishop Obinim (R) for spiritual consultations
Legendary music producer Fredyma has called out the hypocrisy of many Ghanaians, saying that while Bishop Daniel Obinim is often criticised, many influential people visit him for consultations.
In an interview with Kafui Dey, Fredyma recounted how Obinim came to his aid during one of the most difficult moments of his life, following the June 3 disaster in Accra.
He disclosed that while staying in Obinim’s home, he saw several ‘big men’ in Ghana visiting the pastor for consultations, something that made him realise how hypocritical society can be.
FLASHBACK: Why I contemplated suicide – Fredyma speaks on his sad life
“I went to hell, and I had to relocate to Obinim’s house. He had to house me in his place for three years, feeding me and paying my son’s fees and a whole lot of things. When I went to stay there, we are hypocrites, I saw a lot of the big men in Ghana coming there to consult him. Yeah, and all the consultations that they did, it all went through. So, I don’t joke with him because he came through when I was at my lowest for three years and continued for three years,” he said.
Fredyma added that Obinim did not only give him a place to stay, but he also provided him with a job as the sound engineer for his television station.
However, he said his time there was not without challenges, as he faced confrontations from some of the staff, who, according to him, tried to sabotage his work.
“He made me the sound engineer for his TV station. I had other confrontations with the other workers. Per my experience, they didn’t want me to be there. So, they sabotaged me. The man saw it and said, ‘Okay, fine, Fred, you leave the job. I’ll still be paying.’ So, while I was still in the house, he was still paying me for three years until he had that issue with Kennedy Agyapong, and then it subsided,” he added.
