Veteran Ghanaian gospel musician, Edward Akwasi Boateng, has publicly announced plans to legally divorce his wife following the late Daddy Lumba's and his wives saga.
In the aftermath of Daddy Lumba's death months ago, he two wives have been locked in a dispute over who should be acknowledged as his lawfully wedded wife.
Thus, the "Makoma So Adee" singer was asked by the host to share his opinion on the ongoing entitlement brouhaha.
The gospel singer, without hesitation, stated, " As I sat here I caught myself tapping my feet. I cant wait to visit the Kumasi Municipal Assembly (KMA)."
Host: Why are you going to KMA?
Edward Akwasi Boateng:I’ll tell you more after the show. Right now, we’re by the roadside. I’ve been deeply enlightened. Ei! With all the toil I’m going through, if I don’t put proper measures in place, someone might one day show up claiming to be my rightful wifen after my death, yet, this same person left me when I needed her the most.
He had stated a year ago, his ex-wife threatened to divorce him before her family finally returned his 'Etiri nsa' (dowry) about five years ago.
He recounted losing several properties, including 17 cars, and how his former wife refused to let him use hers, leaving him to walk.
Evangelist Edward also spoke about starving due to his inability to provide housekeeping money. He mentioned that his wife chose to feed outsiders while letting him go hungry.
Despite efforts by many pastors, including Evangelist Akwasi Awuah and Pastor George Owusu Mensah, to reconcile the marriage, his ex-wife remained adamant.
Evangelist Edward Akwasi Boateng, who has been single for the past five years, expressed his readiness to remarry. He stated that at age 53, he has prepared himself well for a second marriage.
In February last year, Evangelist Edward Akwasi Boateng, was seen facing challenging times on the streets of Kumasi, where he was selling pendrives, CDs, and even bread.
Once prosperous, his current circumstances reflect a stark contrast to his former life of wealth and success.
The reasons behind his situation were not entirely clear, but reports suggest that his wife played a significant role. It is said that she took control of his assets by having him sign certain documents, leaving him with very little.
In an interview, Evangelist Boateng opened up about his struggles, including the dissolution of his marriage. He revealed that his wife had threatened divorce multiple times before the marriage ultimately ended.
Despite efforts by several pastors, including Evangelist Akwasi Awuah, to reconcile them, their interventions were unsuccessful.
Despite these challenges, Evangelist Boateng maintains a strong faith in God, believing that things will eventually improve.
His story serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of life's twists and turns and the importance of resilience in the face of adversity.
Prophet Bernand El Bernard, the head pastor of Spirit Life Revival Ministry, has delivered a life-changing gift to well-known gospel artiste Edward Akwasi Boateng during a church service on Sunday, February 25, 2024.
Captured in a video shared by blogger Zhikay Ikejunior, the heart-warming moment unfolded at the Spiritual Revival Ministry in Accra. Prophet Bernand, alongside his congregation, welcomed Boateng and surprised many by unveiling a series of valuable gifts. These included a brand-new car, an all-expense-paid scholarship for Boateng’s children up to university, and a monthly allowance to alleviate his recent financial crisis.
The touching gesture left Boateng visibly moved and speechless, expressing profound gratitude for the unexpected support extended to him during these challenging times.
This act of benevolence follows the circulation of a viral video on the internet, showcasing Boateng selling pen drives and CDs at a bus station in Kumasi. The footage shed light on the gospel musician’s financial struggles, triggering an outpouring of empathy and support from the public.
Boateng’s journey through adversity traces back to the breakdown of his marriage two years ago, during which he endured maltreatment and unfair treatment due to financial strain. The artist was forced to sell nearly 17 vehicles he owned to cope with mounting challenges.
Despite Boateng’s storied career and successful hits such as “Makoma so Ade,” “Kae asem a waka,” and “mebo wodin,” financial hardships continued to plague him, prompting widespread concern from fans and well-wishers. His recent public appearance selling merchandise served as a poignant reminder of the struggles he faced, igniting a wave of compassion and solidarity from those aware of his predicament.
Prophet Bernand's extraordinary act of kindness serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration, reminding us of the transformative power of compassion and generosity in times of need. As Boateng embarks on a new chapter, buoyed by the support of his community and the unwavering kindness of strangers, his story stands as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the profound impact of selfless acts of kindness.
