Okyeame Kwame, a rapper from Ghana, has urged young people not to take advice because doing so will limit their lives.
OK, a well-known artist, stated that people who give advice frequently do so out of concern for other people’s welfare in an interview with Kwame Dadzie on Joy Prime.
“Don’t listen to advice. I beg you, young people. Because after listening to advice over the years, look at where we are.
What I am saying is nothing new. If you pay attention, if you meditate on your thoughts you will see that what I am saying is what you know already,” he noted.
According to Okyeame Kwame, people have two voices in their heads: the voice of their body and the voice of God or the spirit. It is always advisable to listen to the voice of God.
“The voice of the body wants you to overeat, it wants you to be lazy, it wants you to cheat your boss, it wants you to cut corners, it wants you to do all the things that you must do as quickly as possible without a lot of effort. And the voice of God in you wants you to love, it wants you to meet the right people, it wants you to sacrifice, it wants you to pummel your body, it wants you to be the boss over your body so that you can behave like Christ, or Mohammed or that good guy that you want to be like. Listen to that voice of God,” he said.
He added that: “most of the people who advise you are afraid for you. You want to be a rapper but your parents say no become a doctor. They are afraid that if you become a rapper you will amount to nothing. Look at me, I think I have become something. Sarkodie, look at M.anifest, they are all rappers. They have wives, they are living their lives and they are a good source of inspiration in the society.”
Okyeame Kwame reiterated his position and urged young people to pay attention to the inspiring messages coming from within. He made it clear that while they should follow the voice of God, it shouldn’t rule their entire lives.
