Okyeame Kwame, a Ghanaian musician, has warned young people not to listen to advice because doing so limits their lives.
In an interview with Joy Prime, acclaimed artist Kwame Dadzie stated that persons who offer advice usually do it out of concern for the well-being of others.
“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’m saying isn’t novel. “If you pay attention and meditate on your thoughts, you will notice that what I am saying is what you already know,” he said.
Okyeame Kwame stated that humans have two voices in their heads (the voice of the body and the voice of God or the voice of the spirit), and it is always best 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, encouraging young people to pay attention to the positive messages emerging from their inner spirit. He made it clear that, while God’s voice should lead them, it should not dominate every element of their lives.
