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.

Over the years, the event has launched the careers of countless superstars, including Shabba Ranks, Buju Banton, Vybz Kartel, Bounty Killer, and Sizzla, while also hosting international icons such as Busta Rhymes and Maxi Priest.

For Inpha Reblitive, the opportunity to perform on the Sting stage alongside a lineup of Reggae legends is a testament to his rising status in the industry. Known for his innovative fusion of Dancehall and modern influences, Inpha is rapidly becoming a voice for a new generation of Jamaican artists. Fans attending Reggae Sting 2024 can expect a performance that highlights his creativity, passion, and commitment to pushing the boundaries of the genre.

This year’s event marks a return to its legendary home at Jamworld in Portmore, a venue synonymous with the golden moments of Reggae Sting’s storied history. After undergoing renovations, Jamworld is once again ready to welcome thousands of music fans to experience the unmatched energy and cultural vibrancy of Sting.

As Reggae Sting prepares for the future, the event is undergoing an exciting transformation. The Sting team has also embraced technology, introducing a revamped ticketing platform, a new online music distribution division, and a dedicated streaming network to enhance the experience for fans around the world.

Inpha Reblitive’s performance at Reggae Sting 2024 is set to be a highlight of the event, further cementing the show’s reputation as a launchpad for rising stars and a celebration of Jamaica’s unparalleled musical heritage.
