Popular influencer Obeng Darko appeared on SVTV Africa’s Daily Hustle Worldwide Show with DJ Nyaami, where he addressed people’s strong belief in prophecies. He pointed out that many claim God revealed the recent plane crash to them, yet none mentioned that God gave them a message to prevent or redeem it. According to him, most victims of such prophecies are those who fail to think critically.
Obeng Darko explained that the plane crash was likely caused by technical faults, not purely spiritual reasons. He cautioned that without proper education, “false prophets” will easily influence people. “If there’s a God, everything will be done according to His will. Just because something is happening doesn’t mean it’s spiritual,” he said, adding that even degree holders can be misled when it comes to religion.
He emphasized that when people are brainwashed, they don’t get offended by insults but become defensive when religion is questioned—proof, in his view, that their minds have been seized. He believes most chaos and accidents result from system failures, and leaders have a duty to protect the people because their position exists for the people’s benefit.
On social issues, Obeng Darko noted that some boys misbehave because they lack proper home training. Many weed smokers, he claimed, come from single-parent homes without fathers. He contrasted rich white families, who discipline their children, with poorer ones who allow misbehavior. He stressed the importance of raising children with wisdom rather than just sending them to prestigious schools without moral guidance.
Obeng Darko also warned about children becoming addicted to phones, laptops, and tablets, saying they need guidance to avoid going astray. He claimed that many inventions from the West are designed to maintain the global status quo, and that countries dominated by politics and religion often see little progress.
He shared an example of a woman who contacted him: she and her husband once owned a water factory, but her husband sold it and took a loan of GH₵250,000 to pay a “connection man,” and the money got locked. Now, they want to restart their business. According to him, Africans often overestimate how easy life is abroad, but reality proves otherwise—many foreigners don’t truly accept Africans, even if they seem friendly in Africa.
He concluded by advising that people should assess the value of their businesses properly. “If you have a water factory, find out how much someone abroad can save in a month,” he said, noting that some Ghanaians in the country own several aboboyaa (tricycles) and earn more than many living overseas.
