Bishop Kwabena Asiamah, the founder and leader of Universal Spiritual Outreach who goes by the name Ajagurajah, has ignited a fresh wave of public debate after urging women to consider cosmetic surgery over higher education as a path to a more comfortable life.

The comments surfaced in a video circulating on social media on July 3, 2026, in which the outspoken clergyman argued that the large sums women pour into university tuition and postgraduate qualifications often yield little return, with many graduates left without jobs.
His proposed alternative was a BBL
"As a woman, instead of going to the university, suffering to learn and spending more money on a master's degree only to end up being unemployed, just use that money for a BBL. Most men want women with heavy backside," he said.
Ajagurajah on BBL prayers and physical insecurities
Ajagurajah went further, stating he would have no hesitation extending spiritual support to any woman seeking the procedure abroad. "If a woman comes to me that I should help her in prayers as she's going to Turkey to undergo BBL, I will gladly do it," he stated.
When pushed back on cosmetic surgery by critics, the bishop drew a pointed comparison to conventional medicine, insisting that addressing physical insecurities is entirely reasonable. "Those thinking it's not the right thing to do, when you're sick, don't go for an injection at the hospital. Fixing insecurities is not a bad thing," he argued.
He also ventured into theological territory, claiming that divine grace alone is not enough if a woman's physical appearance works against her.
"God has given some ladies grace and favour, but they're not manifested because they don't have backside," he added.
The remarks have drawn sharp reactions online, with many questioning whether a religious leader should be discouraging women from pursuing education in favour of elective surgery.
Ajagurajah is being his controversial self
Touching on Ajagurajah's points, ace entertainment journalist Owusu Worae downplayed the religious leader's points, describing them as a controversial take for trends.
"Ajagurajah has once again demonstrated an ability to dominate the entertainment conversation by making a deliberately provocative statement that blurs the line between social commentary and spectacle. Whether people agree or disagree with him, his remarks have achieved what many public figures seek: they have become the subject of nationwide debate.
"From an entertainment perspective, this is part of Ajagurajah's public persona. He has built a brand around unconventional opinions that challenge social norms and generate viral reactions. His latest comments about women choosing a BBL over a university degree fit that pattern, ensuring widespread discussion across television, radio and social media," he said.
