"While the family is mourning, you have taken her picture and attached it to your prophecy. So, as people are mourning, you are seeking to be celebrated. What is the substance of this prophecy? Every year, prominent people die. Who told you poor people don't die? If you want evidence, just take a car on the Accra Kumasi road and see the number of funerals that happen every week."
