Ghanaian actress and entrepreneur Victoria Lebene recently revealed that her journey to becoming a pastor has been a long time coming, with the call to ministry being present since her childhood.
During an interview with Joy Prime TV on August 16, 2024, she reflected on how, as a child, pastors often told her mother that she was destined to become an “Osofo Maame” (pastor’s wife).
At the time, Lebene assumed this meant she would one day marry a pastor, not realizing that she herself would take on a significant role in the ministry.
Lebene’s transition into preaching surprised many when, on April 22, 2024, she began sharing biblical teachings and heartfelt messages during an Instagram live session.
She has since made it clear that her ministry is not for social media attention but stems from a genuine calling she has felt deeply for years.
“Yes, I knew. I had that call for a very long time. When I was very little, pastors would tell my mom, ‘This child will be Osofo Maame’ and I actually thought I was going to marry a pastor to be that kind. Never did I know that it would toll towards that line where I would particularly be in the middle of the whole picture as a woman of God,” she said.
Actress, now a ‘minister of the gospel’, Victoria Lebene, has found herself at the centre of attention.
While some applaud her for embracing her calling, others believe it’s merely a ploy for social media engagement and attention.
But speaking with Showbiz Graphic, Lebene vehemently asserted her dedication to serving and ministering was not for clout or social media attention, but a genuine calling she had been nurturing for some time.
She emphasised the authenticity of her calling, adding that while the calling has been present for a long time, she needed to accept it and give herself the necessary time and space to execute it properly.
“My calling is real and not for social media engagement or clout. Yes, it has been there, but you know, I’ve been involved in a lot of things and so I needed to give myself the pace and time to execute that role, so that I will not end up putting too much pressure on myself.”
At 5 p.m. on Monday, April 22, 2024, actress and entrepreneur Victoria Lebene surprised her followers by assuming the role of a preacher during her Instagram live session titled The Word.
Transitioning seamlessly into her new role, she commenced the session with a heartfelt song before sharing biblical verses from the Book of Isaiah, aligning with her chosen theme, “Accelerating God’s Speed in Life.”
This wasn’t a scripted scene from a movie; instead, it marked a significant moment where the actress affirmed her commitment to serving and dedicating herself to ministry, spreading the word of God and leading souls to the kingdom.
Since then, Lebene, now a ‘minister of the gospel,’ has attracted attention, as anticipated. While some applaud her for embracing her calling, others view it as a mere attempt to garner social media engagement and attention.
In an interview with Showbiz Graphic, Lebene firmly asserted that her dedication to serving and ministering was not driven by a desire for clout or social media attention but by a genuine calling she had been nurturing for some time.
She stressed the authenticity of her calling, stating that although it had been present for a long time, she needed to acknowledge it and allocate the necessary time and space to execute it properly.
“My calling is real and not for social media engagement or clout. Yes, it has been there, but you know, I’ve been involved in a lot of things and so I needed to give myself the pace and time to execute that role, so that I will not end up putting too much pressure on myself.”
“The call comes very strong, and you need to heed it, or else you don’t know the next thing that may happen to you. Life is too short. A moment, you’re here and the next, you’re gone. And I guess you would be disappointed if you do not fulfil your purpose on earth,” she said.
Ghanaian actress and entrepreneur, Victoria Lebene, recently voiced her concerns about the declining fashion standards among her fellow celebrities at events.
In an interview with ZionFelix, she expressed her observation that the once-distinctive Ghanaian style on the red carpet has lost its essence.
Comparing the fashion scene in Ghana to that of Nigeria, Lebene acknowledged that Nigerians are notably ahead in terms of style, attributing it to their aggressive and serious approach to fashion.
The actress emphasized the need for Ghanaian celebrities to step up their fashion game.
Lebene highlighted the cultural impact of fashion and its significance in the creative arts industry.
According to her, creative art is a serious business, and Ghanaians should bring their A game and embrace the X factor to reclaim their unique style on the red carpet.
Ghanaian actress and entrepreneur,Victoria Lebene, addresses speculations about her friendship with Abena Korkor in an exclusive interview with ZionFelix.
Married to well-known blogger Eugene Osafo-Nkansah, also known as Nkonkonsa, Lebene sets the record straight by stating that Korkor has never been her friend.
Despite this clarification, she expresses well wishes for Korkor’s health when questioned about the latter’s health-related issues.
“ I won’t talk about Abena Korkor, she is not my friend, she has never been my friend,” Victoria Lebene stated.
A few months ago, Abena Korkor Addo accused popular blogger Nkonkonsa, known in private life as Eugene Osafo Nkansah, of using different antics to chop her.
According to Abena Korkor, Nkonkonsah has been badmouthing his wife, Victoria Lebene, just to get her to get in bed with him.
The former TV3 presenter claimed that Nkonkonsa told her that he did not love his wife (Lebene) and wished he had married her (Korkor) instead.
In a recent interview with ZionFelix, Victoria Lebene, the wife of renowned blogger Eugene Osafo-Nkansah (nkonkonsa), opened up about the ups and downs of marriage and offered valuable advice for newlyweds.
During the conversation, Lebene likened marriage to a roller coaster, emphasizing that challenges are inevitable in various aspects of life, including relationships.
Drawing parallels between marriage and the broader spectrum of experiences, she acknowledged that facing difficulties is a universal reality.
Mrs. Osafo-Nkansah encouraged individuals who understand the value of their relationships and possess the resilience to navigate challenges to stand firm and persevere.
Her words of wisdom were particularly directed at newly married couples, emphasising the importance of determination and commitment in weathering the storms of married life.
Having tied the knot with Eugene Osafo-Nkansah in 2019, the well-known actress shared insights into her own experience by admitting that she had severed ties with certain individuals after entering the institution of marriage.
This acknowledgment added a personal touch to her advice, underlining the need for boundaries and adjustments in relationships post-marriage.
Victoria Lebene’s candid reflections on marriage shed light on the complexities and rewards of this lifelong journey, resonating with those navigating the challenges of matrimony.
The rivalry between mental health advocate Abena Korkor and Ghanaian actress Victoria Lebene has taken a different turn at the Efya Nocturnal concert.
Both attended the event, with Victoria on the red carpet conducting interviews. Despite their past issues, Abena approached Victoria, inquiring about “their husband.”
Victoria responded with maturity, stating he is doing well, and they shared a hug.
Recall, Abena Korkor previously accused Victoria’s husband of attempting to engage in intimate relations, but it seems they have now reconciled.
In a recent interview with Fiifi Pratt, Ghanaian actress Victoria Lebene shared the charming tale of how she first encountered her husband, Eugene Nkansah, popularly known as Nkonkonsa.
According to Victoria, their paths crossed at Okay FM, where Eugene found her intriguing and captivating. Emphasizing her naturally sweet demeanor, she mentioned that she tends to attract attention from the opposite sex.
When queried about Eugene’s profession, Victoria expressed indifference, noting that as long as it covers the bills, she is content.
As a businesswoman herself, she acknowledged Eugene’s involvement in running a gossip website, emphasizing that those familiar with it recognized the humorous nature of its content.
Ghanaian actress Victoria Lebene has reaffirmed her position on the remarks she made concerning fellow actress Yvonne Nelson.
It will be recalled that back in June, Yvonne Nelson unveiled a candid autobiography in which she shared significant moments from her life, including her quest to find her biological father, her pregnancy with rapper Sarkodie, and the subsequent abortion.
Victoria Lebene, on the other hand, criticized Yvonne Nelson for her memoir. She suggested that Yvonne was presenting herself as a saint by divulging personal secrets in her book, underscoring that everyone has their own stories and experiences with others but doesn’t always choose to disclose those details publicly.
In a sit-down interview with media personality Abeiku Santana on UTV’s ATUU programme, Victoria Lebene insisted that her comments shouldn’t have been taken personally, as she was just sharing her “harmless” opinion and didn’t deserve to be blamed.
She added that she had tried to make peace with Yvonne Nelson on multiple occasions but was ignored.
“That message I wrote wasn’t targeted at her. It was just an opinion. When the book came out, everybody had something to say. She’s my older sister and I know her. We’ve had a few encounters where she’s not happy and all that. I’ve even tried to appeal to her to let it go. I even tried to get in touch but she didn’t open up.
“So if everyone talks, am I not allowed to speak too? I just shared my opinion. I still stand by what was said. It’s harmless, at least for me. Maybe it wouldn’t sit well with others.
“I have nothing against all that she wrote; that is her business. But what I’m saying is that I shared my opinion, just as everybody shared theirs. I also speak out.
“I do advocacy, so when I feel the need to share my opinions, I don’t think that I should be castigated for that,” she stated.
Since the recent release of Yvonne Nelson‘s autobiography titled ‘I am Not Yvonne Nelson,’ actress and entrepreneur Victoria Lebene has engaged in a series of criticisms directed at Yvonne Nelson.
Victoria openly chastised Yvonne for certain chapters in the book that delves into her previous relationships and sexual experiences, deeming it sensitive information that should not have been made public.
Lebene’s remarks have fueled speculation that she harboured a long-held grudge against Yvonne and was using the book’s contents to launch personal attacks.
However, in a recent interview with Graphic Showbiz, Lebene clarified that she holds no animosity towards Nelson but believes that her colleague should have exercised more caution when discussing such delicate subjects in her book.
The mother of two argued that it was highly inappropriate and insensitive for Yvonne to disclose such intimate details to the public, particularly considering the potential damage it could inflict on the reputation of those involved and the negative impact it could have on their families.
Lebene stated, “I do not hate Yvonne, not at all. I just feel she went overboard with some of the intimate details she shared. I am not saying Yvonne shouldn’t express her feelings, but she should have been more sensitive in her approach.”
She further expressed that it would have been more appropriate for Yvonne to tone down certain admissions made in the book without divulging explicit details.
Victoria emphasized the importance of considering the healing process for all parties involved, as what may be cathartic for one person could potentially cause pain and require healing for others.
Referring to one of the individuals mentioned in the book, Sarkodie, she highlighted the significance of considering a person’s reputation, particularly in the case of a married man with children.
She acknowledged that not everyone possesses the emotional strength to handle such revelations, further emphasizing the potential consequences on spouses and children.
Lebene clarified her stance by stating, “I don’t believe in the past. I only believe that whatever happened then should be able to make me strong and put me on the right path to becoming a better version of myself. If I were to write a book, it would be one that empowers and advises people.
“I don’t think I would want to give a memoir detailing my sexual experiences or the number of times I have had an abortion. It simply doesn’t make sense. However, this doesn’t mean I hate Yvonne; it’s just my opinion. It’s okay if it’s a strategy to sell the book, but we should always consider the sensitivity of our words and actions.”
Ghanaian actress and entrepreneur, Victoria Lebene, recently shared a photo on social media commemorating her four-year journey as a married couple with her husband, Eugene Osafo-Nkansah, popularly known as Nkonkonsa.

Popular Ghanaian actress cum entrepreneur, Victoria Lebene, has joined the tall list of individuals criticizing actor Prince David Osei following his intentions to stage a protest against the current NPP government.
Prince David Osei, who has been actively supporting the NPP, threatened to organize a demonstration in December if the economic situation in the country does not improve.
“I decided to give you and your government the benefit of the doubt. I reckon I was wrong! The youth of this nation are not smiling. It pours, but we are still sweating. If things don’t change by December, we will mobilize the youth of this country and hit the streets irrespective of party affiliations, whether NPP, NDC, CQQ PNC whatever, doesn’t matter now, we are all in this together”, portions of his statement on social media read.
Following his assertions, some critics have recalled a point in time where he asked the Ghanaian youth to fix themselves when they were calling on the government to fix the country.
According to them, the actor is now feeling the pinch of the economy, hence the change in his perspective, in line with that of majority of the youth.
Victoria Lebene, who sides with their assertion, has also taken a dig at the actor.
In response to David Osei’s claim, Lebene asked;
“Look at who campaigned passionately for the reigning party. Are you now regretting?” she posted.
It’s been some months since actress Victoria Lebene got married to Peace FM producer, Eugene Osafo Nkansah and while still basking in the joy of marriage, she has told the Graphic Showbiz that her husband is a a perfect man.
According to Victoria, who also works with GHOne as a journalist, Eugene is all a woman needs in a husband.
“It is difficult to describe Eugene because he is a complete package. He will make you smile, support you in whatever you do and knows how to give me a treat. He is a perfect man and I don’t regret marrying him,†she said.
News about the marriage between Victoria and Eugene in June surprised many people because the couple never gave any clues that they were dating. However, Victoria has revealed that she and her husband were together for three years.
“Eugene and I have been together for the past three years and we decided to tie the knot this year. I knew him very well before we came together as man and wife. I was so sure about him before we got married.
“We wanted to keep our relationship on the low and surprise our loved one and that is exactly what we did,” she told Graphic Showbiz.
