Ghanaian musician, Mzbel has revealed why she went with the traditional naming ceremony process when naming her newborn baby.
She explained that she believes she is a Ghanaian and because of that, she loves the Ghanaian culture.
She asserted:
“I believe I am a Ghanaian. So I love the Ghanaian culture. So I don’t see why I’ll give birth to my child and go with a culture I don’t know anything about. If someone goes with the other cultures, that is okay. They have their own understanding and how the cultures help them. But what we believe will be good is what we did”.

She further added that she believes that she is on the Ga land, and that is the reason she went with the Ga land culture.
She said:
“We are on the Ga land, so should there be anything, the gods of the Ga land will protect us. So, if we give birth, the traditions of the gods of the Ga land are what we will go with”.

The ‘Awoso Me’ singer explained that the ‘bodua’ she walks around with is just a traditional accessory that has no power inside adding that people always think there is power in it.
The musician said she can go activate powers inside her traditional accessory so that when she gets somewhere and senses anything bad in her surrounding, then she uses it for cleansing.
She said:
“It is just a traditional accessory. First, when I am walking around with it, people thought there were powers inside. It is just an accessory, just like you buy a Louis Vuitton scarf you’re holding or tied around your bag or around your neck. But I can go and activate powers into it, so if I get somewhere and I feel bad energy around, I can use it for cleansing. But it has not been activated even though I wish to activate it with powers”.
