A Ghanaian prophet, Henry Fire Oja, has claimed that the Black Stars’ recent struggles are the result of a spiritual curse affecting the national team. Once a dominant force in African football, the Black Stars are now struggling, sitting third in their AFCON 2025 qualifying group, which includes Angola, Sudan, and Niger, with only two points.

Ghana’s decline was evident during their recent group-stage elimination from the 2024 AFCON in Côte d’Ivoire. According to Prophet Fire Oja, the team’s poor performance is due to a spiritual attack, and he outlines specific steps to break the curse. He mentioned that Jordan Ayew should not be benched, musician Grace Ashley must be compensated, and some former Black Stars players are allegedly working against the team.

The prophet believes these actions are crucial for reversing the team’s fortunes and lifting the spiritual affliction.
