Popular traditional spiritualist Kwaku Bonsam has revealed that he no longer honors most radio interview invitations, blaming the growing trend of unprofessionalism among some presenters who, he claims, are more interested in fame than substance.
Speaking on Atinka 104.7 FM with Roman Fada, Bonsam explained that many presenters now prioritize sensational questions and social media hype over respectful, fact-based conversations.
“Some of them just want to trend. They ask unnecessary questions—not because they care about the topic, but because they want to go viral,” he said.
The spiritualist noted that this pursuit of fame is what led him to cut back on media appearances, choosing instead to engage only with a select few presenters he trusts.
“That’s why I’ve stopped going on many shows. But Roman Fada is different. He’s respectful, mature, and doesn’t chase clout. I’ll always respond to his call,” he added.
While addressing broader societal issues, Kwaku Bonsam turned his attention to social media abuse. He warned that the reckless use of digital platforms is having devastating effects on individuals, families, and even the image of Ghana.
“Social media can make you big, but it can also destroy you. Many people are dying spiritually and emotionally because of the things they say and do online. They curse others like it’s a joke, but these curses are real,” he warned.
He also pointed to social media as a key factor in rising divorce rates:
“Marriages are collapsing because of social media. People spend more time online than investing in their relationships.”
Kwaku Bonsam raised the alarm about fake spiritual leaders exploiting social media for personal gain. He dismissed online “priests” and “grandmasters” claiming spiritual powers, saying none of the genuine spiritual authorities are active on social media platforms.
“No true grandmaster is on social media. The real ones don’t promote themselves online,” he said, urging Ghanaians to be vigilant.
Kwaku Bonsam ended with a balanced view on social media, calling it a double-edged sword.
“Social media isn’t bad. It’s powerful. But we must manage it well—or it will manage us.”
