Marriage counsellor and Reverend Minister, Counsellor George Lutterodt, has launched a scathing critique of Ghanaian society, accusing many Ghanaians of hypocrisy, disrespect, and selective validation of ideas based on who says them.

Speaking passionately on Accra 100.5 FM's mid-day news on Thursday, January 15, Counsellor Lutterodt said he has long raised issues about marriage and maturity, only to be insulted, sidelined, and even financially mistreated, until similar views were later echoed by prominent religious leaders.

According to him, he had earlier stated that marrying at a very young age often contributes to marital instability, a position he says he publicly expressed years ago concerning Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams’ first marriage.

Lutterodt claims that at the time, his comments attracted harsh backlash and condemnation from sections of the public.

“I was insulted all the way,” Lutterodt said. “I said he married too early, and that was why the marriage did not work.

I was called all sorts of names.”

However, he noted that recent public comments by Archbishop Duncan-Williams—acknowledging that he married young and lacked sufficient understanding of marriage at the time—have now validated his long-held position.

“Now that the Archbishop himself has said it, everybody understands.

But I said it long ago and suffered for it,” he stressed.

Counsellor Lutterodt also accused some radio and television stations, as well as churches, of unfair treatment.

He alleged that certain churches invited him for programmes, only to remove him midway when he expressed similar views on marriage and weddings, branding him “anti-Christ.”

He further claimed that some institutions failed to pay him for programmes he had already participated in.

“They used me, silenced me, and up till today some of them have not paid me,” he said.

Expressing deep frustration, Lutterodt argued that Ghanaian society often fails to appreciate people while they are alive, only celebrating or acknowledging them when their views gain endorsement from influential figures.

“Ghanaians are pretenders. We don’t respect people, and we don’t remember them when they are alive,” he said, adding that those who spoke ill of him now owe him a public apology.

Counsellor Lutterodt maintained that his teachings on marriage remain truthful and consistent, insisting that truth does not change based on who says it.

“Whether they like it or not, the truth is the truth. Ghanaians owe me an apology,” he concluded.
