Ghanaian musician, Martin King Arthur, known as Kofi Kinaata, has emphasized the age-old adage that “you cannot advise a fool.”
In a recent interview with Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz, Kofi Kinaata shared his thoughts on the futility of trying to influence the decisions of others.
Kofi Kinaata recounted a personal experience where a friend of his refused to heed advice until she became a mother.
He explained, “You cannot advise a fool no matter what. A father to a friend of mine once said advice doesn’t change an individual unless a child comes in. This was because her young daughter did not heed his advice until she had given birth to one child.”
Drawing on biblical references, Kofi Kinaata further reinforced his point by mentioning passages that encourage listeners to pay attention and heed guidance.
He added, “In certain circumstances, nothing could be done about it since most of them are destined to be fooled.”
