Ghanaian Preacher Prophet Fire Oja Blasts Richard Nii-Armah Quaye

• Prophet Fire Oja has slammed Richard Nii-Armah Quaye over his recent comments about Ghanaians praying too much
• The businessman said Ghanaians waste time praying instead of focusing on productive ventures
• Oja claimed Quaye’s remarks were inspired by evil forces and warned him to stop criticising prayers
• Apostle Eric Okai, senior pastor at the Elim Church at Kokomlemle, shared his views on the story in an interaction with YEN.com.gh

Prophet Jedidiah Henry Kore, popularly known as “Fire Oja”, has criticised a young Ghanaian businessman, Richard Nii-Armah Quaye, over his recent comments.

Mr Quaye reportedly criticised Ghanaians for dwelling too much on prayers during an interview ahead of his 40th birthday.

According to the businessman, Ghanaians waste precious time praying to God for a breakthrough when they could channel their energies into useful ventures.

Reacting to this, Prophet Oja said such comments could only be made by individuals involved in questionable practices.

Speaking to a content creator, the popular man of God suggested that Mr Quaye was against prayers because they pose a threat to him.

"It's witchcraft, evil deeds that would push people to fight against prayers. There is not a single person whose blessing came from God who would criticise prayers. Let me tell you, you may see them as rich or even billionaires, but you have no idea what they have hidden under their beds," he said.

"They have travelled to India for rituals, and so they feel threatened by prayers. There is no name greater than Jesus, and so whenever it is mentioned, every evil person is threatened," he added.

Prophet Oja consequently cautioned Richard Nii-Armah Quaye to desist from speaking against prayers.

It is worth noting that Richard Nii-Armah Quaye, the chief executive officer of Quick Angels Limited, recently celebrated his 40th birthday with what some have described as one of the biggest parties in West Africa.

The event, held on Saturday, 22 March 2025, attracted high-profile personalities from Ghana, Nigeria, and Tanzania.

Nigerian superstar Davido, Ghanaian stars Stonebwoy, KiDi, and King Promise, as well as Tanzanian musical icon Diamond Platnumz, treated guests at the event to riveting performances.

Prophet Fire Oja prophesies doom for Blacko

Earlier, Yen.com.gh reported Prophet Fire Oja had prophesied doom over Ghanaian superstar, Black Sherif's career.

According to the Ghanaian preacher, Black Sherif would no longer produce hits in 2025 and beyond because his tongue had been replaced in the spiritual realm.

However, Black Sherif reacted to the prophecy with a video of a man reciting a verse from the Quran.
