Why my 2014 World Cup prophecy about Ronaldo failed – Kwaku Bonsam explains

Nana Kwaku Bonsam, a feared traditionalist and fetish priest based in Akumadan, has at last provided an explanation for the failure of his 2014 FIFA World Cup prediction and prophecy.

Before the 2014 FIFA World Cup, which was held in Brazil, Kwaku Bonsam of Kumasi-based Angel FM claimed to have spiritually bound the legs of Portugal's Christiano Ronaldo.

In that regard, the Ghana Black Stars may triumph in their matchup with Portugal during the tournament's group stage.


Then again, the Black Stars were defeated by the Portuguese by a score of 2 to 1, but it was not enough to advance them.

Ronaldo also reportedly suffered a knee injury which restricted his impact in the tournament, but he made a fine start against Ghana and eventually scored a goal.
However, speaking on the same media channel, Nana Kwaku Bonsam disclosed that, his prophecy could not come true because the leadership of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) did not provide the things he needed to carry out the rituals.

“I told them that I have tied the legs of Christiano Ronaldo by then we had two more weeks to the World Cup tournament. And I said that he was going to have injury prior to our match and what I will need is two eggs and a bottle of schnapps. So I told the GFA to make those things available to me to perform the ritual,” he revealed
According to him, “the GFA instead kept talking and made a lot of noise. People called the leadership at the GFA but they told me they are Christians so they don’t believe in my gods. Eventually, what is said could not happen”.

Kwaku Bonsam further argued that, since the GFA didn’t make provision for the sacrifice he was to make, he could not buy them himself because that is not how it works.
“It doesn’t happen like that. This is how my prophecy went bad but Ghanaians didn’t understand and chastised me. I could have bought them but custom does not demand that,” he lamented.
