Ghanaian musician, Eugene Baah, popularly known as Choirmaster of Praye fame has
bemoaned the rate of doom prophecies by some popular ‘men of God’ about celebrities in
the country, especially at the beginning of each year
It has become common practice for men of God, particularly prophets, to speak publicly about the deaths of celebrities.
These negative prophecies about known figures is thought to be used by the prophets as
a means of marketing themselves.
In a chat with Graphic Showbiz about the psychological effect these prophecies have on
them, Choirmaster said people were tired of the negative prophecies that are “killing” people.
“Words are powerful and no one in their right senses will be happy about death proclamations on their life. The thought of you knowing that death awaits you especially when you are at the peak of your career will definitely break you down.
“Just imagine being told that you will die in the next few months, how could you even be in the right frame of mind to go about your daily life? You will be down knowing that death can snatch you at any moment and the thought of it can kill you if you are not strong minded,” he stated.

As a Christian, Choirmaster said he is a staunch believer in prophecies but he isn’t pleased
with current happenings.
“I think prophecies are real and true but the influx of false prophets in the system has also affected the credibility of prophecies. If we sieve and know the right prophets to listen to, we will receive the right prophecies. It’s unfortunate there are many false prophets in the system now”, he observed.
According to the ‘Obsession’ crooner, positive things energise people and that is the same with prophecies. “When a prophecy is positive, even if it hasn’t happened yet, you feel energised to work towards achieving it but same cannot be said of doom prophecies,” he stated.
