Stand-up comedian, Jacinta Asi Ocansey, says one needs to be anointed with the Holy Spirit before going to a ‘notorious’ place like Kwame Nkrumah Circle.
The Ghanaian, born in Nigeria, made this remark as she revealed that she was robbed at Circle.
In an interview with Quophi Okyeame on Angel drive, the comedian revealed that she purchased an iPhone at Circle but was shocked at what she got when she arrived at her destination.
Jacinta said that growing up in Nigeria she thought Nigeria was the haven for illicit activities but that changed after her experience at Circle.
In her view, when it comes to criminal activities, Nigeria is the ‘baba’ but “when I came to Ghana I realized that we do [commit crimes] just that we are coded. We do everything Nigeria does just that we are good at maintaining our calm.”
Recounting her experience, she said “I got robbed. My friend advised me to go to Circle to buy a new phone. When I got there I told them to give me an iPhone.
“The beautiful thing is that they would check that everything is working. The i is working, the phone is working, everything is working until you get home. When I pulled out my iPhone, the two hands with Nokia came out…so I was like wow…”
Jacinta added that as she was expressing shock at the incident, somebody told her she was fortunate they didn’t give her a bar of soap instead.
She thus concluded that Circle “is the most dangerous place in Accra. You need to be fortified, full of the Holy Spirit, anointed to go there.”
