I Love My City said:
“People can’t defend God again. What happened during Nebukadnezzer’s days can’t happen today. You are only at a counter back, not inside the fire, yet you’ve rendered an apology to something directed by the Holy Ghost.”
Sire Debrah wrote:
“It’s not a prophecy. It’s a dream.”

“He should have sought him. One-on-one, if it was not for media attention.”
Charles Adu wrote:
“Because when you do it this way, you are exposing him to his enemies and wicked people around who always take advantage of anything to fulfil their agenda, even those industry people who see him as a competitor, can use this for their advantage to cover their back.”
Sawel Awuni said:
“Even Jesus was crucified. It is the plan of God for him to be jailed. He should keep on giving praises to God in his cell as Jesus said, ‘Father, if Thou be willing, remove this cup from Me; nevertheless, not My will, but Thine be done.’ Luke 22:42.”
