Popular gospel musician, Piesie Esther, has expressed her views on what she makes of condom sharing at fellow artiste, Nacee’s concert.
According to her, she cannot judge Nacee on his decision to share condoms at his gospel concert because he is entitled to his opinion as an individual.
She stated that she has not yet pondered over sharing a condom at her concert in the near future and it would be a difficult decision for her to take.
Speaking in an interview with Starr FM and monitored by GhanaWeb, Piesie Esther asserted that the sharing of condoms at Nacee’s concert could promote fornication in one way or the other.
This is how the conversation transpired between Piesie Esther and the host of the show, Bola Ray.
Bola Ray: Nacee’s gospel concert, he will share condoms to those who will attend. Why is it wrong for him to do that even though people say it is birth control so it shouldn’t be a big deal?
Piesie Esther: Okay, maybe that is Nacee but I don’t see or I cannot sit down here and say there is something wrong with it. However, it is Nacee who wants to do that and everybody has his or her opinion.
Bola Ray: Do you think it promotes fornication or casual sex?
Piesie Esther: It does in a way but then couples too also use it so maybe Nacee will share it for couples not just anybody.
Bola Ray: He said it will be given to every attendee but why is it wrong for him to distribute condoms?
Piesie Esther: Actually I haven’t thought about doing that so maybe I need to have a thought about it before we can discuss it.
Bola Ray: Okay, that is fair.
Background
Nacee shared why his first concert, Kavod would have a condom company as a sponsor.
In an interview on Joy Prime’s ‘Prime Morning’, Nacee highlighted that having Total Family Health Organisation (TFHO), the producer of Ebony Condoms, as a sponsor would help to promote their products and make a profit, enabling employees and employers to pay their tithes in church.
He stressed the need for money to support the Kingdom of God, mentioning, "At the end of the day, we need money to push the kingdom. We buy Bibles."
Explaining the reason for his choice further, Nacee explained that some women, due to allergies to contraceptive pills, might prefer condoms to prevent pregnancy.
"Females are very sensitive beings. God created you guys differently, and your hormonal balance is kind of totally different. Most of you are not okay with those contraceptive pills when you take them.
“Most women don’t like it. Some complain that when they take it, they begin to gain weight, and some of them also have reactions after taking it. Married people sometimes want to stay away from pregnancy,” he explained.
He added, “So, even if you’re married and you have reactions after taking contraceptives, the only thing that you can use to prevent the pregnancy that you’re not ready for is a condom."
When asked if condoms would be shared at the concert, he replied, "I’m sure the company will provide some giveaways."
The Kavod Concert 2023 would be Nacee's first event since he started gospel music, and he explained that "Kavod" means 'The terrifying glory of God,' chosen to suit the attribute of God on the event day. It will be held on November 26, 2023, at the National Theatre at 4pm.
