Agradaa claims prison experience made her more educated despite ending schooling at JHS
Evangelist Patricia Asiedua, popularly known as Agradaa, has claimed that she has become more educated after her time in prison, despite not progressing beyond the Junior High School (JHS) level.
In a video shared on social media on November 9, 2026, the founder of Heaven Way Champion International Ministry disclosed that she never attended university and ended her formal education at the JHS level.
However, she credited her time in prison with helping her improve her ability to read, understand the Bible and express herself.
“I have never attended university. I stopped schooling at JHS, but, by God's grace, you people made a mistake by sending me to prison, and I am now well educated. I can read the Bible in both English and Twi, and I can express myself,” she said.
Agradaa further revealed that she communicates in English with her husband and children at home, insisting that they do not speak Twi in their household.

She also claimed that her behaviour during social media livestreams sometimes gives people the impression that she is not educated.
“When I come home, I speak English with my husband and children. We don't speak Twi at home. When I come on live, I disguise myself and make it look as though I am illiterate,” she stated.
The evangelist challenged those who question her ability to read and understand the Bible, asking whether they were the ones who helped her read the scriptures whenever she preached.
Agradaa maintained that God had improved her understanding and communication skills, adding that she sometimes deliberately acts in a way that makes people laugh.
“When I am preaching, are you the ones who read the Bible for me? God has opened my mind to read and understand His word. When I want to fool around, I will do so for you to laugh. But when it comes to business, I will write and sign my signature to show you that I am not illiterate,” she added.
