Osebo the Zara man, born Richard Brown, is active again.

“I went to Italy,” he said, explaining his recent silence to Nana Romeo on Accra 100.5 FM’s Ayekoo Ayekoo.

He admitted his recent trip to his ‘second home’ was unusually long but clarified it was due to restocking his shop with brand new Osebo (OS) shoes. 

He confessed, however, when he left Ghana he was not well.

“I had done so much weightlifting my L2 and L3, and my left leg, were hurting badly. There were times it’d fill with pus,” the fashionista explained. “Apart from that…” He laughed and was interrupted.

When it was brought to his attention people online had ridiculed him for falling sick despite eating organic food, he responded: “Goats mostly eat plants but still get sick.”

“It is part of God’s design for his creation to get sick. If you don’t fall sick, you’re quite different. In accordance with God’s word, we get sick and use the herbs he’s provided to get well,” Osebo emphasised.

He cited even an local dog when sick seeks out herbs in the bush to “eat and vomit” to recover.

Ultimately, “the organic food – the greens – supports long life and makes you stronger, protecting you constant against sickness,” the popular fashion entrepreneur said.
