Rev. Christian Kwabena Andrew, popularly known as ‘Osofo Kyiri Abosom’, has bemoaned how Africans have blindly adopted the ‘foreign culture of marriage’.
Buttressing his point, the Life Assembly Worship Centre founder, said for instance, the ‘For better for worse’ phrase is an illusion Christians have inherited from Westerners.
He made these statements while explaining reasons for keeping two wives and the role they both play as pastor’s wives in his church.
In an interview with Delay, Kyiri Abosom was asked how he handles the presence of both women during church service and he answered,
“My wives are helpers, they are supposed to help me move forward in life," he said in the yet-to-be-aired interview.
Delay probed further by asking about their sitting position, as some churches usually permit pastors’ wives to sit next to their husband.
“So, when you sit on the pulpit, do the two of them sit by you”? Delay asked.
Kyiri Abossom replied: “What will they sit beside me for? Are they pastors? They are my wives so they should sit where the members sit."
Delay further asked, “So do they come to church at the same time, on the same day?"
Kyiri Abosom responded, "Yes, they come to church, why won’t they? Blacks have this mentality. We need to renew our mindset and move forward. Let’s stop listening to the ‘For better for worse’ Ananse stories."
