When News-One editors had a Skype alert massage Thursday afternoon, little did they know the message was from sensational fetish priest, Nana Kwaku Bonsam who went ahead to have a video interview via Skype to deny the report in Ghana he was dead and being kept in a New York morgue. We seem to live in a season where technology has caught up with traditional worship as Bonsam; during the interview said he had to end it because he was on his way for a television interview at Manhattan. Another surprise was that Bonsam seems to have improved in the English language. �Many people are calling me from Ghana to tell me that it is on radio that I am dead here in New York. But you know, this is not true because I am not dead. Look at me in the video talking to you live. Can a dead man talk? I want you to help me tell Ghanaians that I am not dead and I would come live on August 12 for them to see me,� Bonsam explained in near-flawless English. There were speculations in Ghana that the fetish priest was dead. A couple of preachers had even used that as a basis to call on their congregation to renew their faith in Christianity because the sensational fetish priest was dead. �I do not know when I would die. Only God can tell that; but I�m not dead and the people saying I am dead may die before me so they should stop saying bad things about people,� Bonsam explained. Kwaku Bonsam has been staying in New York for about a year now and he recently became a subject of news that when the New York Times did a whole feature on him in both the print and online editions. News-One asked him about the said publications and this was his response: �They are very troublesome. They made cameramen follow me everywhere and watch everything I do. Journalist in Ghana would not do that. They would just speak to me, take my pictures there and go to their office. They want to see everything.
