AN OPEN LETTER TO ABEIKU SANTANA
Dear Abeiku Santana,
I listened to your outburst on your show, Tuesday, 26th May 2020 with such disappointment and worry – considering where and which platform it emanated from.
I am sure that any fair-minded person who listened to you would attest that you were unnecessarily harsh and your choice of words were not the best. Your claims were offensive and very divisive.
Please, when you do a sober reflection on your actions, you’d realize that you were far from fair, accurate, objective and ethical in your professional duty as an experienced and respected broadcast journalist.
A brand as huge as yours, working for a top brand like Okay FM, the least you could do was not to take side and show an open bias.
Your wild claim about me being on a demonic agenda against my fellow gospel musician and your resolve to stand with the person and pray, rather creates further division among the body of Christ, unfortunately.
At a time when all stakeholders within the industry are feverishly trying to project unity and for us, Ministers of the gospel to focus on the ultimate goal of winning souls for Christ, your commentary was highly unfortunate and inappropriate.
I still have respect for you, your platform and the media in general. I strongly believe we can still work together and use our respective platforms to project positivity.
I sincerely forgive you for all the insinuations cast on my personality and any injury you may have caused to my brand.
I still remain resolute with my stance on support and equal opportunities for all hardworking gospel artistes in the country.
Together, let’s push the Jesus Christ agenda, with unity, respect and harmony.
God Bless You!
Letter

I respect your show of maturity; you have really demonstrated that you really understand the meaning of your name "Patience". Continue doing what you're doing for God, and He'll also bless you beyond measure.
Joe Mettle is a singer. Yes!! he sings from the hymn book. Patience Nyarko is a composer and musician as well. Who among these two deserves an award?? To me, Patience is up up up up up far above Joe Mettle. Joe Mettle is Nana Boroo in the gospel music industry who cannot compose or write his own music but twits other people's work and try to make it their own.
Who is Joe Mettle? Ghanaians and mediocrity. Mokob3 singer. You people and your Abeiku what what should stop your fooIishness and let us think.
Kiloko are you for real or a mere puppet as your name suggests?
Dear don biko, Your words are too harsh, appalling and a display of shallow mindedness. If you have anything against Patience Nyarko kindly find a BETTER way of settling your grievances, but please stop being childish on this platform. You sound more like a nagging housewife who only wants attention. The idea is to settle the dispute not to add salt to injury. Either champion unity, togetherness and respect for all or ***barred word***!!!
This Patience Nyarko girl is really worrying herself over nothing. So if in someone opinion Joe Mettle is good and you disagree with that do you have to get angry, throw tantrums and insult everyone? What is that? In the football arena there is always one argument or another over who is the best but I have never heard the footballers coming into the arena to attack each other. This song of yours koraaa that you make noise about, Obi nyani mi is it Biblical for you to even refer to yourself as gospel musician.
Did she write it herself? i doubt
Matured response ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»
What makes her think she is part of the body of Christ? What attribute of hers depicts which part of the body of Christ? ma y3nwen!!!
You need forgiveness from Joe Mettle. Even those souls who are still in the so-called "darkness" from which your ministry seeks to deliver them are better off in that "darkness" judging by the unprovoked attack you threw in the way of your fellow minister of the "gospel"; after all if crocodiles eat their own eggs what will they not do to the skin of a lizard! Abeiku needs no forgiveness from you for putting you in line; it is your 'arrogant" self who does not listen to counsel and too proud to accept it when you are wrong! Now everybody has seen you for who you really are: a jealous, disgruntled, talentless and disgraced upcoming artiste who is so duumb by choosing to attack needlessly the only Gospel Artist in Ghana to have won Artist of the Year at Vodafone Music Awards. And Joe Mettle was magnanimous enough to call out your song "obi nyani me" as more deserving of the Gospel Song of the year instead of his "Bono ne ye" song which deservedly won ahead of your song! How else can someone show support and extend brotherly love to a comrade in ministry! You are indeed being used by a "deemon" as Abeiku posited! The Bible says "by their fruits you shall know them" and you are definitely not bearing fruits befitting of someone who belongs in the Kingdom of God! Jealousy has no place in God's Kingdom.
