A prominent Ghanaian spiritualist, Kwaku Bonsam, has found himself at the centre of intense international scrutiny during the ongoing World Cup tournament. Having previously made headlines across global sports media for his controversial assertions regarding England captain Harry Kane, the traditional healer has now issued a definitive clarification regarding the tournament trajectory of Argentine icon Lionel Messi.
The mystic initially gained widespread notoriety on social media after a high-stakes fixture between England and Ghana. Bonsam publicly claimed at the time that he had placed a spiritual jinx upon Harry Kane, actively preventing the English striker from scoring. Following that highly publicised episode, a series of unverified prophecies attributed to the shaman began circulating rapidly across digital platforms as the tournament transitioned into the high-stakes knockout phase.
Misguided Rumours and Contrasting Pitch Realities
According to widely shared video messages and digital reports, the Ghanaian traditionalist had allegedly predicted a catastrophic exit for Argentina in their round-of-32 fixture against Cape Verde. The online rumours further claimed that Bonsam had foretold a tournament victory for Portugal, envisioning Cristiano Ronaldo lifting the prestigious trophy for the first time in his career.
However, events on the pitch completely contradicted those supposed spiritual insights. Argentina successfully navigated a tense encounter against Cape Verde, securing a 3-2 victory to advance further in the competition. Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo’s World Cup dreams were permanently shattered after Portugal suffered a definitive defeat at the hands of Spain, exiting the tournament in the round of 16. With these internet rumours exposed as false, the spiritualist took to his official communication channels to clear his name.
Bonsam Defends His Stance and Backs Argentina
Issuing a formal statement on his verified Facebook page, Kwaku Bonsam vehemently denied ever suggesting that Lionel Messi would fail or that Argentina would succumb to an early exit. The spiritualist stated that a fabricated narrative had been weaponised against him by online entities falsely claiming he had predicted Messi would be suppressed on the pitch. Denouncing the viral reports as completely untruthful, he offered a message of spiritual solidarity, declaring that his ancestral powers are actually aligned with the Argentine playmaker.
To validate his defence, the traditional doctor attached older, time-stamped publications to his latest social media broadcast, demonstrating that he had consistently abstained from casting negative predictions against the South American champions. Bonsam clarified his personal stance by stating that he is an ardent admirer of both Messi and the wider Argentine squad. He concluded his public address by asserting that he views the legendary forward like a brother, wishing the captain well as Argentina continues their pursuit of global glory.
