Prophet Ogyaba's viral church moment

The footage has ignited a sharp debate online. A section of viewers questioned whether the practice has any grounding in scripture, arguing that such displays cross a line between spiritual leadership and veneration of a person. Others pushed back, describing the act as symbolic and consistent with certain expressions of faith.

Beyond the specific scene, the video has also reignited broader frustration about the direction of organised religion in Ghana, with some commenters voicing disappointment in churches generally, and others going further to argue that religion has become more harmful than helpful in the country.
