The Highlife legend while speaking to host Abeiku Santana on the Ekwanso Dwoodwoo Show explained that he has always had the gift of prophecy.
During the period when Ghana started recording it’s earliest cases of imported COVID cases, an old video of Ofori Amponsah surfaced online.
The video which was shot by Ofori famously known as, Mr. All4Real in the 2000s was a song titled Hello in which the singer was heard saying the world would face gloominess in 2020.
Part of the lyrics for the song was the statement translated in English as, ”In the year 2020 when darkness covers the earth, I will fight you, my love”.
All4Real in his interview clarified that that line was inspired by a prophecy revealed to him by God.
Ofori stated categorically that he foresaw the outbreak of the deadly COVID-19 about two decades ago but people would not believe him when he told them.
