Nana Aba Anamoah: Prophecies targeting celebrities are just clout chasing

Renowned broadcast journalist Nana Aba Anamoah has strongly criticised religious figures who invoke the names of celebrities in prophecies as a means of courting public attention, describing the practice as a troubling misuse of the pulpit.

In a post shared on her X (formerly Twitter) account, Nana Aba condemned what she characterised as the weaponisation of religion for relevance, particularly when such prophecies are framed around fear, doom and sensational predictions about well-known public figures.
