How I became paralysed two months after joining Onua TV – Popular newscaster Appiah Kubi shares his story

Appiah Kubi, who gained popularity in Accra during his stint with the Angel Broadcasting Network (ABN), was one of the few reporters who joined the Media General Group when Blessed Godsbrain Smart, popularly known as Captain Smart, moved from ABN.

However, barely two months after his move, Appiah Kubi disappeared from the public space with nothing being heard from him.

Appiah Kubi has now come out to reveal the reason behind his disappearance from Onua TV and how he almost lost his life.

Speaking in an interview with De God Son TV, Appiah Kubi stated that he got paralysed and was indoors for over a month.

He stated that it took the healing prowess of a herbal doctor to get him back on his feet, and even with that, he still suffered serious challenges.

“I went in March and fell sick in May. The downside of my body went off. I became paralysed and was indoors for one month. I spent three months with the sickness and got better. It was a certain man who healed me of the sickness. The man gave me medicine, and four days after taking the herbal medicine, I recovered,” he said.

Appiah Kubi added that after getting back on his feet, he still struggled to stand for over fifteen minutes and had to endure a torrid time executing his duties as a news presenter.

He, however, had a rare awakening when he went to his hometown for the funeral of a relative who had committed suicide.

Appiah Kubi said while he was away from Accra in his hometown, he realised that he no longer faced the difficulties he was encountering.

Following that experience, Appiah Kubi decided to end his stint with Onua TV as he was concerned about his health.

“Even though I had recovered, I couldn’t stand for 15 minutes. I almost became a cripple. I told our HR, and he told me I should exercise more and I would be fine. In June, a relative of mine poisoned himself, and it affected me badly. When I left Accra and came to my hometown, I wasn’t feeling the sickness again.

During the time I was sick, a colleague called and asked why a person from Wassa should sit and allow someone to work some curses on me. I told the person that I wasn’t aware that someone was behind my predicament. The person told me to become a pastor,” he said.
