JJ: Obinim, Kumchacha "misusing God’s name"; TVs must boycott them
Bishop Daniel Obinim and Prophet Nicholas Osei,
popularly known as ‘Kumchacha’, are misusing
the name of God and exploiting the ignorance of
their followers, former President Jerry Rawlings
has said.

According to him, some of the claims often made by
Obinim and Kumchacha on TV are not real.

The former Military leader has, therefore, asked
managers of TV stations and the media to stop
giving airtime to Kumchacha, Founder and Leader of
the Heaven's Gate Ministries; and Obinim, Founder
of the International Gods Way Church, to deceive
the public.

Addressing a durbar on Saturday to crown the 2014
Amu (brown rice) Festival of the chiefs and people
of the Avatime Traditional Area at Avatime
Gbadzeme in the Volta Region, Rawlings advised TV
stations to rather dedicate the time they give to
the two men, to promoting Ghana’s rich culture,
traditions and festivals.

“Many too often as we watch our TVs, I don’t
think we are putting enough efforts into
showcasing some of these cultural traditional
festivals – the activities that are going on
around the countryside – and yet so much time is
spent giving airtime, precious airtime to people
like these two prophets I’ve been talking about
of late: the one in Tema, called Obinim and the
other one called Kumchacha,” he bemoaned.

“…They are so brave in the kind of things they
purport, the kind of things they do. Ladies and
gentlemen, when people watch things like this,
knowing very well that they are not achieving what
they claim they are doing, we end up perpetuating
the ignorance and the grip of these people on the
ignorance of our people,” Rawlings said.

He added: “The misuse of God’s name is the
worst form kind of corruption that we can talk
about…and we are paying the serious price for
it, and we will continue to do so till we wake to
the reality of what is scientifically possible,
plausible and doable.”
