While crippled, I became blind for ‘about a month’ after ‘false landing’ – Empress Gifty

The Odi Yompo hitmaker recalled an incident that demonstrated God’s salvific power in her life to Nana Romeo on Accra 100.5 FM’s Ayekoo Ayekoo, Thursday, September 19, 2024.

“I had an accident in the US. I couldn’t walk and had to sit in a wheelchair. When we returned to Ghana, my sister mentioned a man in Takoradi who could heal my legs. For the journey to Takoradi, my mother opted for a car, while I chose a plane, using crutches.

“Not more than 10 minutes after we took off on the flight, we were informed there was a problem and landing in Takoradi would result in an accident, meaning we had to go back to Accra. As a result of the false or emergency landing, I went blind,” the Gospel star narrated.

“After the false landing—my crutches were even left in the plane—someone held me and I was pushed. Instead of sliding down legs first, I went down head first. I was taken to the airport hospital, and not more than 5 hours after coming home, my eyesight went completely off.”

Empress Gifty said she was blind “for about a month or so” during which “I was bathed and cared for by others.”

She added she struggled to eat in those days because she was depressed and would sit and cry.

“Everything went off,” she said, explaining the severity of her condition. “All I could hear was pastors praying for me, every day.”

Empress Gifty said she earnestly told God in prayer: “If you give me back my legs and eyes, I will give you all your worship. Sometimes some people don’t understand my praise because they don’t know what I went through.”

She noted how sometimes people take issue with the events she organizes and their cost implications.

“People don’t know the covenant and the things I told God. I’ve told him no amount of money is exorbitant for me when I’m doing something for God. I told God if I indeed have the thing, I will give it to him,” the singer said.

“Watch Me,” Empress Gifty’s latest offering, declares God’s timely intervention. According to her, before its September 2024 release, the instant hit composed, written, arranged, and produced by Kuami Eugene, was used by her to pray for her husband Hopeson Adorye’s release from jail in May. She gave the testimony on social media.
