“If you are someone who knows me, you would realize that I like spouting so it’s not that I dressed anyhow on Sunday.
I don’t joke with my Sunday dressings at all because in Ghana, you could see someone selling fish or charcoal but such people do not joke with their Sunday dressings at church at all.
She continued that “while I was sitting down waiting for my turn, the MC came to tell me the the pastor’s wife ; Rev.

He told me the man of God Bishop Samuel Osei Tutu had told them no one should mount the pulpit without high hills shoe”.
“in fact, I thought they were joking and indeed I was not called to perform. I was surprise that in the house of God, they denied me performance because I was in slippers. It was humiliation and I nearly cried. Because I was pregnant I was advised not to wear high hills”.

She believed “this should not have happened in church”.
