According to the gospel artiste Nhyira Betty whose song s for the
past years have been household song, told your reliable Flex newspaper
that, she rather believes in the direction of the Holy Spirit and not
what we term as “branding.”
Betty explained that, branding to her only leads the Ghanaian
artiste especially the gospel musicians astray. ”Many are the gospel
musicians who have stooped low in the calling of the Holy Spirit all in
the name of branding themselves. And in the name of branding, they begin
to put on some dresses that go against their beliefs and many at times
end up going on stage to forget their real calling as gospel musicians,
hence performing to entertain the audience and failing to touch the
audience with the power of the Holy Ghost. If we have any branding to
offer to ourselves, we should rather give chance to the Holy Spirit for
His direction” Nhyira Betty said.
Betty whose mum Cynthia Frimpong happens to be a prophetess of the
Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) Nima branch has two albums to her credit.
Her maiden ”Yebe Dwiri” produced by Sly and the debut “Sumsum mu boafo”
also produced by Magus under the Holy Ghost International label from
the stables of ace gospel legend Osuani Afrifa was recorded by Dan
Bassey.
When Flex newspaper asked Betty to give her last message to
Ghanaians as we prepare to go into the December polls, she has this to
say “I entreat all Ghanaians to emulate the true character and spirit of
the Good old late President of the Republic of Ghana Prof. John Evans
Atta Mills. A man full of honesty, love, kind and peace. “ Ghanaians
should put politics behind them and try to pick something from this
great leader of land, a man who has all the power in his hands just to
pay his enemies back, but kept on with his faith as Christian, refuse
to respond to people who insulted, castigated and vilified him in a
humble manner.
He gave his best to this country and the most of all, never hid his
faith as a Christian as he went around proclaiming and projecting Jesus
Christ on every platform he mounted. This is a man wealthy of
emulation. I believe that, emulating him will definitely see us through
this election peacefully because he stood for peace and wished peace for
this country.
Betty is managed by Collins Agyenim Boateng popularly known as DJ
Coxby of Light 94.9 FM in Kumasi. He also happens to be Betty’s husband.
Betty is preparing to release her third album come December. Flex
newspaper will update you as she finishes that spirit filled album which
will be the talk of town. Betty usually sings about the goodness of God
in all ways.BY:Stephen Nakuja
