Reggae musician and media personality Blakk Rasta has strongly criticised Archbishop Salifu Amoako following comments made in a resurfaced viral video.
In the video, Archbishop Salifu Amoako is seen bragging about driving without a license or number plate, confidently stating that no police officer would dare arrest him for fear of losing their job.
He even suggested he had the power to have officers dismissed if they attempted to apprehend him.
These controversial statements have resurfaced in the wake of recent allegations involving the Archbishop’s son, who is said to have been involved in a fatal car accident that claimed two lives.
Blakk Rasta has spoken out strongly against the Archbishop’s comments. “Salifu Amoako doesn’t have any education. He doesn’t have a classmate. He has never sat in a classroom.
He learnt everything on the street,” he said. He added, “But there’s natural wisdom outside formal education. I expected that a man of God would have that.”
Blakk Rasta also criticised the notion of being “above the law,” arguing, “If you claim that no policeman can stop you from breaking the law, it doesn’t make you a Superman.
It only means you live in a lawless country and that you are lawless yourself. If I were part of that congregation, I would walk out.”
Furthermore, Blakk Rasta condemned certain teachings by some religious leaders, which, according to him, promote the idea that wealth can be achieved solely through prayer, without hard work.
He stated, “These are the people who preach that God will make you rich without working. Just get up and pray. What prayer can do for you, work can never do for you.”
