The Chief Priest of the Ga State, Nai Wulomo, has revealed that anybody assigned to cut his hair has to be cleansed spiritually, before doing so.

The Nai Wulomo, said the cleansing exercise, is to ensure that he does not come into contact with any ‘unclean’ thing.

“Nobody is allowed to see my hair as long as l live, but I cut my hair when necessary. Even if it has to be done, there are traditional procedures for cleansing before he can touch my hair,” Nai Wulomo detailed.

He further stated that, “the one assigned to cut my hair is subjected to spiritual cleansing before he can touch my hair. To do this, the person is assumed clean enough to be with me.”

In an exclusive interview with Jay Folie on Prime Morning on Joy Prime, Monday, the Chief Priest said, even if it has to be done, the process does not take place in the open.

He added that the person undergoes intensive spiritual purification. In the final stage, he puts money on the ground for the person to step on it with both feet before he can touch the hair.

Nai Wulomo noted that, this is to ensure that the person becomes rich after touching the hair. The money signifies a start-up capital according to the Ga Tradition.

He clarified that, "in the absence of the assigned person, anyone selected has to pass through the same process before seeing my hair."

The Chief Priest of the Ga State, Nai Wulomo also spoke about how he became the Chief Priest, saying, “The Priesthood is my family heritage, it passes from one generation to the other.”

“I was selected when it got to our turn, though l was not prepared for it. However, my father taught me to believe that God exists,” he added.

He described the ‘Wulomo’ as a traditional inheritance and a familial office that stands tall in the Ga State because of its linkage to the Ga Mantse.
