Pastor Mensah Otabil, the Founder of the
International Central Gospel Church in Ghana,
has said that 'fufu' is gradually killing Africans.
According to the pastor, who was speaking at
the National Convocation of the 2017
Springboard Roadshow, where he highlighted
the need for a change in the attitudes of
Africans, he said the process in which fufu is
being made was difficult and unhygienic.
'Any food that if you have to eat you'll have to
punish yourself, what's the sense in it? And the
annoying thing is when you're pounding, the
sweat will be going in and will be mixed, and
even in the mortar, there are all kinds of
bacteria in the corners.
This is an ecosystem for bacteria, 5 years and
we are still pounding and people will say, that's
what we like.
'It's killing us, because you know
Africans we don't know what kills us, the
thing is killing us but you say it's a witch
because we never identify objectively
the cause of the problem. Come to think
of it, this fufu in this mortar is not
sanitized , what impact does it have on
our lives?' He added.
