Ghanaians Too Judgmental – Rev Tetteh

Evangelist, Rev Dr Lawrence Tetteh, has admonished Ghanaians to stop being too critical of each other, since, he said, it retards the growth of the country.

He has, therefore, advised citizens to love one another and unite for the common good.

Dr Tetteh gave the advice at the burial service of dancehall artiste Ebony Reigns at the forecourt of the State House in Accra on Saturday, 24 March 2018.

Ebony was widely criticised while alive for her fashion sense as her crtitics said she resorted to a lot of nudity to promote her craft. However, good stories about her continue to flood social media following her death.

Speaking at her burial service, Dr Tetteh said: “We are developing an attitude in Ghana that will not help us develop as a nation. We’re becoming too judgmental and we are capitalising on peoples’ pain to either score spiritual points, political points or seniority points and that is wrong, it is not right.

“We are becoming so judgmental that today in Ghana, there are people, including pastors, who didn’t think Lawrence Tetteh should come and identify with this, but who should do it?

“Many years ago, Jesus asked the Pharisees and the people attacking that ‘he who is without sin should first throw the stone’.

“Today lawyers are destroying lawyers, pastors are destroying pastors, politicians are destroying politicians, as a matter of fact, everybody is destroying somebody and it is not good. So, stop it, it’s not right, it’s not fair, it’s not acceptable. As we sit here today, brothers are not talking to brothers, friends are not talking to friends, even some of the musicians they become so competitive they are destroying themselves.”

Ebony died at age 21 in a gory accident on the Sunyani-Kumasi road while returning to Accra from Brong Ahafo Region on Thursday, 8 February 2018.

Her childhood friend and Personal Assistant, Franky Kuri and one Air Force personnel, Francis Atsu Vondee, who posed as her bodyguard, also died in the car crash.
