Renowned Ghanaian media personality and socialite, Afua Asantewaa has revealed several obstacles she encountered while trying to achieve a Guinness World Record.
In a recent interview with media figure Afia Amankwaah Tamakloe, Afua Asantewaa disclosed that she was significantly impacted by unfavorable remarks on social media regarding her event.
She also revealed that she faced significant spiritual challenges during her initial attempt at the sing-a-thon, as she was not spiritually ready then.The socialite shared that despite preparing physically and spiritually before her initial attempt at the Akwaaba Village in Accra in December 2023, she found it difficult to surpass the spiritual obstacles.Sometimes, social media comments can have a significant impact. During my first attempt, they affected me. The challenges were numerous, and they were spiritual in nature. Physically, everyone knew I was going to sing, so I exercised. But for the first attempt, I would say I was spiritually weak. I prayed. We even invited a pastor to pray for us, but the battle in the sing-a-thon is not an easy one. I am speaking from experience, she said.Afua Asantewaa, who just went to Canada with her husband for a holiday, wondered why certain malicious individuals would aim to spiritually undermine her efforts to achieve a Guinness World Record, particularly since she wasn’t gaining financially from the event.She also revealed that she and her spouse, Mr. Kofi Owusu Aduonum, experienced considerable financial setbacks due to her involvement in the event, as they independently financed the complete project.
She stated that she endured persistent spiritual assaults, leading her and her husband to undertake rigorous fasting to ward off additional difficulties during her second attempt in Kumasi.
Her disclosures follow her recent completion of a second sing-a-thon endeavour, which spanned five days and exceeded 120 hours.
She started the endeavour on 21 December 2024 and finished it on Thursday, 26 December 2024.
