hahahahaaaaa. some humour in there but i think it would've be en easy to educate people to eat with clean hands rather then this "westernized" approach he's promulgating. pastor, pls eat ur rice and others with your fork, knife and spoon. as for we and our household, we will eat our fufu, kenkey and banku with our fingers. my grandma in the village is over 80 years and she rarely ate with cutlery.
For lack of knowledge my people perish,did anyone really listen to the import of what he was saying.Seems Ghanaians are now so used to picking things out of context.Maybe the journalist who is even reporting didnt understand the English Pastor Otabil was saying.He only used the fufu example in our African context and you come and mis report?OMG
Until Ghanaians learn to think outside the box will fall for any insane suggestion without weighing in.Ask a pastor will you let your child marry a poor farmer's daughter with one bedroom hut? Then why tell congregation do not marry a wealthy man? Learn the word of God & pray for divine wisdom.
The man is brain wash and he won't do the same to his slaves who made him rich. Shame to him. Next time tell him to use his feet to eat. Don't eat also Africa food but eat green grass or leaves.
Otabil bravo! When your parents cannot afford a set of cutlery set let alone purchase sandals for school then you can tell folks this sing-along. No wonder most Christians attending charismatic churches has turned into azaaa Christians stealing from state institutions to live beyond their means.Don't preach to suit your lifestyle because folks steal to put in hefty tithes & God on that day will expose all.Wash your hands nicely & enjoy your Kenkey & fish. Not every word Otabil says is wisdom.Each person has God-given gift. He has his weakness & cries that his congregants don't know.
I don't agree with Pastor Otabil does not mean I should insult him. Please, not all people agree with even Jesus and does that mean they should insult Him? I will always eat fufu with my fingers thoroughly washed but will not attack anyone who chooses not to do so. If an eye for an eye, we will both lose our sight.
Osofo poverty no spoon
I disagree with this pastor on this topic. There is nothing wrong with eating with the hands.
I really expected this bashing for what the good pastor said.This is the exact same reason why Africa is what it is today.Not at any point did I hear the man say 'Don't eat fufu' I love fufu myself. Have you seen Ghanaians get into a 'chop-bar order fufu and when a bowl of water and soap are brought they would simply dip their hands into the water ,say a prayer and proceed to consume the fufu. Curiously,after finishing eating, they would then ask for soap if it is not available, and then wash their hands with glee.What?The pastor is simply pointing out many seriously flawed things we do that cost us much pain that we ascribe to witches and other things.We as Africans need to rise up and do things for ourselves.That includes choosing honest and courageous leaders. Tell me why are Zimbabweans still tolerating a half dead 93 year old corrupt individual as their leader when this F001 has made his country one of the most deprived on planet earth?Why do we countenance politicians who sign agreements with their foreign collaborators that enslave our grandchildren for the next 200 years. Folks ponder what the pastor is saying. Trust me it goes far beyond fufu eating.
Otabil, so I should eat my banku and okro stew with fork and knife or eat my fufu with fork and knife. Isn't it commons sense to tell people to wash their hands with soap before eating as against this ***barred word*** analogy with the types of food we have. U mean beyond the production sources of our food(of which you claim is bacterial infected), to the natural delivery part(Our hands), we shouldn't eat with it? Wow you have truly lost it.
