Prophet Ogyaba, popularly known as Prophet Fire Oja, has doubled down on his controversial request for a car and fuel support from the Presidency, saying there is “nothing wrong” with what he said.
In an interview with Joy News monitored by MyNewsGh, the founder of the Holiness of Christ Zion Ministry confirmed, “Yeah, it’s true. I said it. I don’t think there’s something wrong about it.”
When asked if he owned a car, he replied, “No, no, no. I don’t have a car. It’s not only me — a lot of prophets and men of God don’t have a car. So if they want us to spread whatever they want us to do, they have to at least give us more fuel so that we can deliver the message to them.”
Addressing rumours that he once owned a Range Rover with “Faya Oja” emblazoned on it, he admitted it was true but explained, “The last three years, yes. But it’s not there no more. I sold it out to buy a land for God.”
Prophet Oja’s comments come in response to the government’s recent directive requiring religious leaders to submit prophecies to the Office of the Presidential Envoy for Interfaith and Ecumenical Relations for review.
The directive, according to Presidential Envoy Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, is aimed at ensuring responsibility, discernment, and proper stewardship over the nation’s destiny during uncertain times.
In a separate social media video that sparked the initial media buzz, Prophet Oja argued that not all prophets can afford to travel to the Jubilee House to share their revelations.
“If the government says we should come to the Jubilee House with our prophecies, they should also give us car money and fuel. Not all of us can afford to travel there. If they want to hear it in person, they should take care of our transport,” he said.
