Renowned Ghanaian broadcast journalist Afia Pokuaa, also known as Vim Lady, has indicated that Prophet Ebenezer Opambour Yiadom, popularly known as Prophet 1, cannot threaten her with curses for speaking the truth.

In a video on social media, the broadcast journalist noted that she is not scared by whatever curses Prophet 1 has invoked upon her because it would not affect her.

"I have been doing this work for the past twenty years, and I am not scared of anything. President Kufor's bodyguards have beaten us before, and we have survived it. So he (Opambour) should keep quiet over there. You went there to ask a legitimate question and didn't condemn anything about the Ghana card, so why should you fight me over this?

"Where I come from, we have strong spiritual backgrounds, so you can't come and threaten me over this," she said.

Afia Pokuaa also threw her support for John Mahama's free first-year tertiary policy. Indicating that she would support anything concerning education over the ex-gratia policy.

"I have said this so many times about free SHS. That anybody who condemns the free SHS is a shallow-minded person. When Mahama said he would bring the free first-year tertiary, I supported it because I am not in support of the ex gratia they want to pay to Members of Parliament," she added.

Background

On November 11, 2024, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, held a fellowship service with clergymen in Kumasi.

During the event, Prophet Opambour raised concerns about Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s policy, which allows the use of the Ghana Card as the basis for a credit scoring system to enable citizens to purchase cars.

Opambour mocked the initiative, questioning the feasibility of the project and challenging the idea that the Ghana Card could be merely used to purchase vehicles.

However, this statement did not sit well with Afia Pokua, who described Opambour as "shallow-minded" and argued that he misunderstood the project.

However, Prophet 1 has issued a stern warning to broadcast journalist Afia Pokuaa. Stating that he would hurl curses at her if she negatively speaks against him.
