Evangelist Patricia Asiamah, popularly known as Agradaa, is urging the public to do whatever it takes to stay out of prison, including swallowing their pride and apologising, after describing her own eight months of incarceration as one of the hardest experiences of her life.

Speaking in her appearance on Nana Ama McBrown's Onua Showtime on Onua TV, the General Overseer of Heaven Way Chapel International said prison is nothing like people imagine it to be, and those who think their status or connections will protect them are dangerously mistaken.
"Anything that will connect you to prison, stay away from it. Let no one lie to you and make you feel you're too big. If someone threatens you with a legal fight, apologise," she said.
She recounted waking up at 5:30 a.m. every day, scrubbing gutters and toilets, carrying blocks and eating zomkoli, a stark contrast to the life she had known outside.
"I spent eight months in prison, I ate zomkoli, I went to bed at 5:30, I scrubbed gutters and toilets, I even carried blocks. Prison is real," she said.
Agradaa urged anyone caught up in a dispute or legal matter to pursue a peaceful resolution before things escalate, and to apologise and seek forgiveness in court if necessary, not as a sign of weakness, she implied, but as an act of self-preservation.
She also used the moment to thank her husband for standing by her throughout the eight months she was incarcerated.
"Cherish your freedom," she said, closing with the kind of plainness that only comes from someone who knows exactly what losing it feels like.
