I Quit Schooling Because Of Music – Mary Owusu

Renowned Ghanaian gospel artiste, Mary Owusu, has made a startling revelation about her past. In a recent interview on Oman FM’s “M’adwuma” show, hosted by Burundy, Mary disclosed that she had to abandon her education to pursue a career in music.

According to Mary, her passion for music grew to the point where it became impossible for her to balance her academic responsibilities with her musical ambitions. Despite being an exceptional student, Mary found herself dedicating increasingly more time to music, ultimately leading to her decision to quit schooling.

Mary’s story, however, comes with a valuable lesson. When asked to offer advice to young women who may be tempted to compromise their values in pursuit of success, Mary urged them to remain focused on their goals and to prioritize their faith.

“Let God lead you,” Mary counseled. “Work hard, earn your daily bread, and trust that God will guide you to your destination without requiring you to sacrifice your values.”

Mary’s words of wisdom come as she promotes her latest single, “Divine Selection,” a testament to her enduring commitment to her faith and her music.

Maame Grace Warns Ghanaians Against Nonsensical Spiritual Directions!

Renowned spiritual visionary and teacher, Maame Grace, has raised an alarm about the increasing activities of self-styled spiritualists whose questionable practices are causing harm to unsuspecting individuals.

In a recent YouTube broadcast, she urged Ghanaians to exercise caution when patronizing these so-called spiritual doctors, highlighting the devastating consequences of their misguided directions.

According to Maame Grace, her office is inundated daily with distressed individuals seeking help after experiencing severe repercussions from following the advice of these “quacks.” She cited instances where people reported mental health issues, physical abuse, and aggravated personal problems resulting from rituals or items provided by these spiritualists.

“This is becoming a serious issue,” Maame Grace emphasized. “Many come to my office with problems that have worsened because of these self-centred spiritualists who are only focused on money.

It’s heartbreaking.” Maame Grace, a staunch advocate for spiritual self-discovery, urged Ghanaians to look within for spiritual growth rather than relying on external, exploitative practices. She has dedicated herself to offering a haven and rejuvenation services for victims of these harmful encounters, despite facing backlash and alleged attacks from these groups.

Her decision to speak out publicly follows increasing plots to tarnish her reputation by these quack spiritual leaders. “These individuals exploit desperation for personal gain, leaving victims to deal with severe consequences.

Learn to protect yourself and avoid falling prey,” she advised. Maame Grace called for vigilance and education, encouraging Ghanaians to prioritize their well-being over blind faith in dubious spiritual claims.
