The esteemed Ghanaian footballer, Asamoah Gyan, has embraced a sermon delivered by Prophet Johnson Adu Boahen, extolling the virtues of Gyan's elder brother, Baffour Gyan.

In the widely circulated sermon across various social media platforms, Prophet Adu Boahen expressed profound admiration for Baffour Gyan, acknowledging his instrumental role in Asamoah Gyan's illustrious football career.

The prophet commended Baffour Gyan for his humility, highlighting that despite being the elder sibling and having his own career in professional football, he graciously stepped back to allow Asamoah Gyan to shine when it became evident that his younger brother possessed the talent and charisma for a more successful football journey.

The sermon emphasized that Asamoah Gyan's remarkable success, including becoming the highest scorer in the history of the Black Stars, was made possible by the unwavering support provided by Baffour Gyan.

Prophet Adu Boahen underscored the crucial role of Baffour's selfless support in shaping Asamoah Gyan's trajectory in the world of football.

The prophet went on to describe Baffour Gyan's admirable character as something almost unreal, noting that in a culture where many elder siblings might prefer to be the face of the family's success, Baffour chose a path of support, enabling his younger and more talented brother to take the forefront in their shared journey of achievement.

“One person I really respect in this country is Asamoah Gyan’s elder brother, Baffour. I respect him so much because he's not greedy. Even though he is older than Asamoah Gyan, he has been very supportive of him. Once he realized that Asamoah Gyan could become the next big thing in Ghana football, he retired and supported him.

“Both of them are married but they enjoy a great relationship because Baffour is not greedy and selfish. In today’s Ghana once an older sibling sees the younger one making progress, then he or she starts to pull strings to bring him or her down. The little mistake you make, your own sibling will poison you.

“Baffour Gyan doesn’t shy from doing the little things to enable his brother to succeed. He takes pride in supporting his brother and sometimes even serves as a bodyguard to protect his brother. Every family has someone destined to be the star so when you see that just support him or her to succeed because there’s nothing you can do to bring him or her down,” he said.

Asamoah Gyan, on Tuesday, November 28, 2023, reacted to the video, stating, “Preach on."

Gyan has never hidden his respect and admiration for his elder brother, who he perceives to be his ‘second god.”

“We all serve the living God but I will say he is my second god because he has done everything for me." Those were the exact words Ghanaian striker Asamoah Gyan used in describing the influence of his brother Baffour Gyan on his career. “We all serve the living God but I will say he is my second god because he has done everything for me,” the former Sunderland player told Max TV.

“The mistakes he made in life, he made sure I didn’t go through them. He is like a guardian angel till now.” He added.

Detailing the impact and influence of his brother on his career, Asamoah recalled that it was Baffour’s advice that succeeded in making him decide on schooling in Accra, although he had different plans.

“He went to Adisadel College and I wanted to follow in his footsteps when I completed JHS. I had to choose Adisadel College, so I chose all the Cape Coast schools,” Baby Jet said.
