Prophet Kofi Oduro Praises Laryea Kingston for Resigning from Black Starlets Job
Renowned Ghanaian prophet, Kofi Oduro, has lauded former Black Stars player, Laryea Kingston, for his courageous decision to resign from his role as head coach of the Black Starlets youth team. In a sermon at his Alabaster International Ministry in Accra, Prophet Oduro commended Kingston for prioritizing his integrity and values over personal gain. “Laryea Kingston has shown great courage. He has chosen to walk away from a position of power and prestige because he knows it’s the right thing to do. This is the kind of leadership that we need in our country,” said the prophet. Kingston announced his resignation on April 21, 2023, after just a few months in the role. He cited interference and lack of support from the Ghana Football Association (GFA) as his main reasons for stepping down. Prophet Oduro emphasized that Kingston’s decision was a testament to his strong moral compass and willingness to stand up for what he believes in. “It’s not easy to challenge authority, especially when it comes from an organization like the GFA. But Laryea has shown that he is not afraid to do what is right, even if it means making sacrifices,” he said. The prophet went on to encourage other individuals, both within and outside the realm of sports, to emulate Kingston’s example. “We need more people who are willing to speak truth to power, even when it’s unpopular. We need more people who are willing to put integrity above all else,” he added. Prophet Oduro’s praise for Kingston has been met with widespread support on social media, with many commending the coach for his bold stance. Meanwhile, the GFA has expressed disappointment over Kingston’s resignation but has stated that it respects his decision. The association has promised to address the issues raised by the former coach. As the Black Starlets prepare for the upcoming FIFA U-17 World Cup, the GFA has yet to announce Kingston’s replacement.

Ghanaian Prophet Kofi Oduro has commended former Black Stars player Laryea Kingston for his decision to resign from his position as head coach of the Ghana U-17 team, the Black Starlets. Kingston announced his resignation on Thursday, July 21, 2023, citing personal reasons. His departure comes just months after the Black Starlets failed to qualify for the U-17 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). In a recent sermon, Prophet Oduro praised Kingston’s courage and integrity in stepping down. He said that Kingston’s decision reflects a strong sense of responsibility and accountability. “It’s not easy to admit your mistakes and take responsibility for failures. But Laryea Kingston has shown us true courage and humility by resigning,” said Prophet Oduro. “This is not about blaming or shaming him. It’s about recognizing his willingness to learn from his mistakes and move forward with integrity,” he added. Prophet Oduro also urged Ghanaians to support Kingston and other coaches who are working hard to develop the nation’s football. “We need to encourage our coaches and players to be accountable for their performance. When they make mistakes, we should help them learn and improve, rather than tearing them down,” he said. Kingston’s resignation has sparked mixed reactions from the Ghanaian public. Some have praised his decision as a sign of accountability, while others have expressed disappointment at his departure. However, Prophet Oduro’s praise for Kingston’s courage is a reminder that even in the face of setbacks, true character can shine through.
