Ohemaa Mercy
Ohemaa Mercy has waded into the issue of practising homosexuality in Ghana and said the only the mechanism to stop it is by showing love to those who are in it.
According to the celebrated gospel musician, in that way one can bring homosexuals closer and talk them out of it.
“It takes God for one to be delivered from homosexuality. We need to bring those in homosexuality closer to us and talk them out,” she told Bola Ray on The Starr Chat Wednesday.
She has made the comment at a time there is a growing external pressure on government to soften its stance on homosexuality.
Meanwhile, majority of Ghanaians have always kicked against the legalisation of homosexuality, with the church in Ghana playing a major role.
According to Ohemaa Mercy, the issue of homosexuality is “spiritual” and called for prayers and love for those in it.
On The Starr Chat, she revealed she was once detained in a hospital for not having money to foot her medical bills.
She told Bola Ray that the incident happened while she had gone to be delivered of a baby at the hospital.
“Everything was OK until things were difficult and it became that bad, we didn’t plan for a C-section but after spending a week at the hospital and the baby was not coming, the doctor said if they don’t do a C-Section, I could lose the baby or my life and at that time it was cash and carry and we had to deposit money before been attended to. And we had spent virtually everything on us and so my husband had to leave me and go look for money, luckily for us we got money from one child who was staying with us and offered his tuition fee and that saved me because I was virtually dying on the hospital bed,” she recounted.
Ohemaa Mercy added that her life has been a testimony of the good things God has and continues to do.
She took Ghana by storm with her albums and hit songs and has won countless awards with her musical dexterity.
Ohemaa Mercy has songs such as ‘Wo B?y? K?se’, ‘Abro So’, ‘Unbreakable’, among others.
