The Irony of UN in Supporting LGBTQ+++ Community Yet Pushing for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Case of No Conscience

Open Letter to :- UNITED NATION (UN).

Indeed, HIGHER CERTIFICATES without the Fear of God is equal to confusion, foolishness, evil mindset and Pride with dead conscience.We are aware main sponsors of LGBTQ++ Community are UN, EU and their individuals evil wealths through looting of African natural resources.

If the UN is truly talking about sustainability and development of the universe, is it not mind boggling to see same biggest organisation supporting a group of insignificant minority to inhibit procreation?*The below is what SDGs talks about:The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or Global Goals are a collection of 17 interlinked global goals designed to be a “blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all”.

The SDGs were set up in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly and are intended to be achieved by the year 2030. They are included in a UN Resolution called the 2030 Agenda or what is colloquially known as Agenda 2030. The SDGs were developed in the Post-2015 Development Agenda as the future global development framework to succeed the Millennium Development Goals which ended in 2015.

The 17 SDGs are: (1) No Poverty, (2) Zero Hunger, (3) Good Health and Well-being, (4) Quality Education, (5) Gender Equality, (6) Clean Water and Sanitation, (7) Affordable and Clean Energy, (8) Decent Work and Economic Growth, (9) Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, (10) Reducing Inequality, (11) Sustainable Cities and Communities, (12) Responsible Consumption and Production, (13) Climate Action, (14) Life Below Water, (15) Life On Land, (16) Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions, (17) Partnerships for the Goals.The above SDGs talk about sustainability and progress .

Now let us take some of the GOALS and see how supporting LGBTQ+++ Activities will help achieve some them*.

Goals:1. No Poverty:- What benefits will LGBTQ+++ practices bring into ensuring there is no Poverty in the World? . Most of the LGBTQ+++ are known for party ,party after party which reduces working hours and lead to low productivity. Some become incapacitated after acquiring chronic and infections diseases.

3. Good Health and Well being:- It is universally discovered by the WHO that HIV is prevalent among LGBTQ+++ practitioners. Also, they are known for spreading the virus to their victims.We know the internal and external sphincters at the anus when pressurised for long leads to Anal Prolapse and it is common among Gays and it leads to running anus with faecal maters. Anal sex leads to cancers and it is common among the homosexuals .

So the question is, what Good Health and Well Being does UN SDG 3 stands for if they are supporting the LGBTQ nonsense to be legalized so such sicknesses will be deviling our communities especially along the vulnerable ones who don’t have the financial strength to purchasing Pampers and drugs for life till they die?.

4. Quality Education:- How quality will our educations be when we are accepting that the abnormals should be normals? . Does it make sense to you UN? What becomes of the future of our educational system since your focus is on children seeing them opposite of who they are born to be?

6. Clean Water and Sanitation :- How clean will our water bodies be when homosexuals with running anus will be swimming in our beaches and pools to contaminate them? Are we not encouraging thyphoid and Cholera outbreaks since our water bodies will no longer be free from human faeces ? The mode of spread is Orofoecal and you can’t swim in pools and beaches without one drinking some of the waters.

13. Climate Actions:- WHO, UN have been spending huge sums of dollars on our climate changes so lives can be preserved since Oxygen and CO2 balances becoming dangerous to lives. Now, in one angle you are trying to preserve lives to sustain the universe but in another, you supporting homosexuals to inhibit procreation to destroy humanity? Does it make sense to you ? Who are your scientists and anthropologists ?

15. Life on Land:- How do you intend increasing lives on land when you are Against the only way that brings lives and procreation by choosing LGBTQ Activities?

16. Peace ,Justice and Strong Institutions:- How do you intend ensuring peace when you are supporting LGBTQ+++ community imposing their Mental Sexual Disorders on nations whose religious, cultural, moral and societal norms frown of their abominable activities? You talking about Justice and Strong Institutions yet you have been using your powers and influence to frustrating Institutions that are against your evil decisions to legalise the sexual Disorder on other countries?

In conclusion, juxtaposing your own SDGs and support for LGBTQ+++ community, one must come to a clear conclusion that the UN and WHO is confused in THEIR own decisions . You are living opposite to the SDGs by supporting what will not help achieve your goals .

I therefore call on you and the discerning voices to condemn the activities of LGBTQ imposition on African countries, that matter , Ghana.We are highly against LGBTQ+++ Activities in our country since every aspect of our culture, religion, societal norms don’t recognize their abominable stuffs.

Long live ANTI-LGBTQ+++ Bill 21.Long live Africa,Ghana.Long live the Universe..

Government payroll is full, 60% of revenue paying 650,000 people

Government payroll is full, 60% of revenue paying 650,000 people – Ofori-Atta

ken ofori attah

The Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, has informed the 2021 graduating class of the University of Professional Studies-Accra (UPSA) that the government’s payroll is full – making it unsustainable to keep adding to employment figures in the public sector, hence the need to create their own jobs.

According to him, the government’s role is to create the needed enabling environment, establish micro-stability and ensure that citizens have the right skill set – and that is what the government is going to do: focus on the youth and budget for their demands.

“The future for you in regard to jobs is the most important thing for you at this stage, and we have gone through a period when most people look for a job from government or state institutions, but that payroll is full.

“I can tell you that because we are spending about 60 percent of our revenue on renumerating some 650,000 people, and that is not sustainable,” he said.

The finance minister further indicated that entrepreneurship, skillset, and credit are the important things needed in the mix to ensure sustainability for the youth and offer them an opportunity to create their own path to wealth.

According to the minister, education is a ladder to social mobility as well as economic and social prosperity, offering beneficiaries the opportunity to help society – adding that it is important for the graduates to acknowledge the privilege of accessing four years of tertiary education and do their best to impact society through the transformation and renewal of their minds.

Chief Executive-Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), Dr. K.K. Sarpong, in his address at the graduation ceremony, emphasized that it is important for the graduates to acquire 21st-century skills and core competencies which will enhance their employability and advancement in career.

He emphasised that, currently, industries search for graduates who have more than a university degree, as they consider life-skills such as creativity, innovation, critical-thinking, collaboration, teamwork, communication, empathy and digital literacy, among others, as essential skills for effective individual performance.

“These life-skills underpin the abilities for adaptive and positive behaviour that aids in dealing effectively with the challenges of everyday life, particularly work. It is therefore important that graduates acquire life-skills as mentioned,” he said.

Dr. K.K. Sarpong further singled out digital literacy and indicated that this is an era of digitisation wherein automation, artificial intelligence and the use of software has dominated the delivery of accounting and financial services, hence the need for them to equip themselves with these skills to stay relevant on the job market.

He further stated that outsourcing of functions such as procurement, payroll, taxation, pensions and benefits, recruitment and training has become a new normal under COVID-19, hence the need for them to respond swiftly to that trend.

“I encourage you to set up your own firms to tap into the growing outsourced financial and business services. Be entrepreneurial, for your training here has given you what it takes to do that,” he said.

The Vice-Chancellor of UPSA, Prof. Abednego F.O. Amartey, indicated that for the 2020/2021 cohort UPSA is graduating a total of 3,640 students – comprising 793 postgraduates, 2,054 undergraduates and 793 diploma students.

He entreated them to be worthy ambassadors of the school, exhibiting the values and tenets imbibed in them.

“As a marketer, my parting words to you are remember these four Ps – be positive, principled, proactive and productive,” he said.

Nadmo educates school children on disaster management.

The National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) has appealed to the Ghana Education Service to open up NADMO offices in secondary schools to educate and sensitize them on disaster management.
Mr. Seth K. Kissi, the Ga East NADMO Director said this when he briefed newsmen in conjunction with the Ghana National Fire Service (GNS), the Ghana Police Service, Ghana National Ambulance Service and the Traditional leaders on this year’s International Disaster Day for Risk Reduction (IDDR) with the searchlight on Ghana mainly due to an upsurge in disasters emanating from rampant fire outbreaks and flooding at the Kwabenya Community Senior High and Technical School today.

He said if the culture of tree growing was nurtured among the children, they would grow to take it up and contribute to disaster prevention.
Mr. Seth K. Kissi attributed the high rate of domestic fires in the country to the use of old and faulty cylinders with fridges and other electrical gadgets in the same kitchen and reminded them to put their cylinder regulators off after cooking.

He appealed to market women who cook to endeavor to quench their fire properly before leaving and advised them to put off their electrical gadgets during power fluctuation.

Sam George thanks Ken Agyapong, Ursula, others for the reopening of Radio Gold, XYZ

Ningo Prampram Lawmaker, Samuel Nartey George who is also a Ranking Member on the parliamentary select committee on communications, has thanked the former Chairman of the Committee Mr. Kennedy Agyapong, the Minister of Communications, Madam Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, the Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu, Ranking Member on the committee ABA Fuseini for the role they played in getting the closed radio stations back on the air.

Speaking on the announcement of the reopening of the stations in an interview on the News 360 on TV3 Tuesday, October 12, Sam George said “This is welcoming news, we are grateful to the new board of the NCA for carrying through what has been four years of agony for the owners of the radio stations and their staff.

“The parliamentary select committee intervened in this matter and had several meetings with the Ministry, with the management of the NCA, the management of the radio stations. Today, for me, is a happy day because it brings to an end a long battle.

“I will say a very big thank you to former chair of the Committee Hon Ken Agyapong, Honourable Opare Ansah, my Ranking member ABA Fuseini, former Board Chair of the NCA Kwaku Sakyi Addo, the current board chair Mr. Isaac Osei Bonsu, Honourable Haruna Iddrisu and certainly the Minister for Communications for working along with us. We have had our disputes, we have had our arguments, heated debate on the floor of parliament.

“The bottom line is that the independent of the media has triumph today.”

The Governing Board of the NCA has approved the grant of a total of One Hundred and Thirty Three (133) FM radio broadcasting authorisations which include new applications from entities whose FM radio stations were closed down after the 2017 FM Audit as well as existing stations which applied for renewal of their expired FM Radio broadcasting authorisations.

The approval was done at a Board meeting held on 11th October 2021.

A statement issued by the NCA on Tuesday, October 12 said this approval from the Board is subject to the applicants attending a sensitisation workshop on the terms and conditions of FM radio broadcasting authorisations.

“The workshop shall clarify the legal, regulatory, and technical requirements for the establishment and operation of an FM Radio Broadcasting station.

“Provisional authorisations shall be issued to the successful applicants at the end of the workshop and frequencies shall be assigned to the applicants only upon the fulfillment of the conditions of the Provisional Authorisation.

“The general public is reminded that per Section 2(4) of the Electronic Communications Act, 2008, Act 775, a person shall not operate a broadcasting system or provide a broadcasting service without a frequency authorisation by the Authority.

“Offenders are liable on summary conviction to a fine of not more than three thousand penalty units or to a term of imprisonment of not more than five years or to both, as per Section 73 of Act 775 of 2008.”

The NCA shut down Radio Gold and Radio XYZ, and several others.

A statement issued by the NCA in Accra on May 9, 2019, said the closures were carried out in line with Regulations 65 (1) of the Electronic Communications Regulations, 2011, L. I. 1991, which states that “A person shall not use a radio frequency without authorisation from the Authority.”

Referring to a 2018 ruling by the Electronic Communications Tribunal on the status of FM stations with expired authorisation, the NCA said “Companies whose authorisations had expired reverted to the same position as a fresh applicant,” adding that “these applications shall go through the required procedure for new FM Broadcasting Authorisation.”

The regulator did not mention the two stations, implying that it was a general exercise. However, only Radio XYZ and Radio Gold have been closed so far. Officials of the NCA, backed by armed police officers, stormed the premises of the radio stations to enforce the shutdown in the afternoon of May 9.

This is the second time in less than two years that the regulator has flexed its muscles against “defaulting stations.” In September, 2017, the NCA carried out a massive purge of the broadcasting industry that saw a total of 34 radio and television stations being shut down for various infractions, in enforcement of Section 13 of the Electronics Communications Act (2009), Act 775.

The regulator also imposed fines on a number of stations ranging from GHC50,000 (US$11,000) to GHC61,000,000 (US$13.8 million) depending on the infraction and the duration the infraction persisted.

Akufo-Addo is one of the wisest in the world, a great erudite.

Akufo-Addo is one of the wisest in the world, a great erudite – Serbian President

“I learnt so many things from my friend, the President of Ghana, today speaking about world power. We completely share some positions about the necessity of the countries that need to co-operate in the independent sovereign, to make their own decisions independently…I fully agree he is one of the wisest men, one of the great erudite one can learn so many things from.”

These were the words of the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, on Monday, 11th October 2021, when he held bilateral talks with President Nana Akufo-Addo, on the sidelines of the ceremony commemorating the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM).

At the press conference, the Serbian leader indicated that Ghana and Serbia have pledged to build closer ties, and deepen the ties of friendship and the bonds of co-operation between the two countries, with the two nations resolving to co-operate in the areas of agriculture, defence, artificial intelligence and digitilisation, education, and the growth of their respective economies.

Touching on the areas of co-operation between the two countries, which include an increase in bilateral trade and the doubling of Serbian scholarship opportunities to Ghanaian students from 16 to 32, President Akufo-Addo stated that “we (in Ghana) know the important strides that you (Serbia) have taken in the world of digitalisation, as well as in artificial intelligence, and my understanding is that the majority of the young people who will come from Ghana will be in this area. I think it will be something that will be truly beneficial to our country.”

The President reinforced the necessity for such closer ties of co-operation between countries belonging to the Non-Aligned Movement, and the urgent need to deepen the bonds between Ghana and Serbia and, indeed, for smaller, like-minded states.

“The recent example about the use and deployment of vaccines has shown us an ugly aspect of international cooperation. There are people who hoarded samples and made it impossible for others to be able to have access. I think these are areas where the co-operation between countries like ours could have a very significant impact on the way in which the world develops,” he said.

The President continued that, “there is hopefully a bright future ahead especially between the two countries that see eye-to-eye on so many important issues of the International agenda; the most important being the urgent need for all of us to be able to drive our own agenda, and not be the subject of anybody’s interests or wishes.”

On Ghana’s election onto the Security Council membership, President Akufo-Akufo thanked Serbia for the support of Ghana’s candidature, adding that “whilst there, our contribution will help improve the climate of the world and bring more positive developments on the global agenda. We count very much on Serbia assisting us in the manner in which you have indicated in your remarks so that we can produce good results from our membership there.”

He also expressed deep concerns about security in Africa, saying “the Jihadist insurrection and terrorist activities in West Africa are a matter of great concern to us, and there are areas where we believe we can beneficially cooperate with your country, with other like-minded countries, to find solutions. They are matters of very great concern to the stability of our region.”

On his part, President Vucic said, “I learnt so many things from my friend President of Ghana today speaking about world power and I fully agree he is one of the wisest men, one of the great eulogists one can learn so many things from as one of the great successors of the politics of such a great person as Nkrumah was.”

President Aleksandar Vučić thanked President Akufo-Addo and Ghana for the position taken regarding the territorial integrity of the Republic of Serbia, stressing that such a position is appreciated and respected by the people of Serbia.

“You know that in politics and international relations, nothing lasts shorter than gratitude but you will see when it comes to Serbia, we are incomparably, more loyal to our friends than many others and we will be able to return in the same manner of responsibility,” he said.

The Serbian leader continued, “We offer our construction companies if the people of Ghana are interested, and we are ready to buy tropical fruits and many other products from Ghana if they are interested.

“Generally speaking, politically wise, not that we have no problems, but we understand each other very very well, but we must work to talk to each other more often, to see each other more often, and to have more frequent contact and to act together in the international scenes.”

Sam George clashes with CNN journalist on HIV infected gays, dev’t of Ningo-Prampram

It was a fierce exchange of words between lawmaker for Ningo-Prampram Sam George and CNN Journalist Larry Modowo on the Anti-LGBTQI Bill before Ghana’s parliament.

What started with a normal tone appeared to have heated up following the line of questioning by the Kenyan Journalist who himself is gay by trying to suggest that the National Democratic Congress(NDC) was pursuing an agenda that does not factor in the development of his constituents.

The outspoken Ghanaian lawmaker had revealed that he received the blessings of his constituents and two traditional areas in the fight against the LGBTQI in Ghana’s legislature

“I am a Ghanaian legislator and so that you know I represent a constituency or community with two traditional areas. Before agreeing to push this bill I met with my two traditional councils…I am a representative of the people who voted for me, the traditional councils who voted for me say this is against our culture”

But Larry Modowo who confirmed his gay status on his 43rd birthday angered Sam George when he asked “The people who voted for you in your constituency of all the problems they have is this the major problem for them?

But in a subtle jab to responded “ Well, this is one of the major issues for them. The government of Ghana in 2020 spent two hundred million dollars subsidizing the cost of ant-retroviral drugs for persons who are HIV/AIDS. The Ghana AIDS Commission is telling us that Men having Sex with Men(MSM), homosexuals are leading the surge in HIV prevalence in Ghana. Two hundred million dollars could have fixed the water problems in my constituency.”

He added that the constitution is clear that your rights are not absolute, there are limits what they fail to understand.

Takoradi ‘fake pregnant’ woman granted Ghc 50,000 bail (+video)

fake pregnant’ woman granted Ghc 50,000 bail

Josephine Panyin Mensah, the woman who allegedly faked her pregnancy and kidnapping in Takoradi in the Western Region, has pleaded not guilty in her first court appearance on Monday, 27 September 2021.

Her plea comes despite claims by the police that she confessed to faking her pregnancy and kidnapping to save her marriage.

She is facing two charges of deceiving a public officer and publication of false news with intent to cause fear and panic.

She was admitted to a bail bond of GHS 50,000 with two sureties.

The Police allege Ms. Mensah told the medical team at the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital and police investigators that she conspired with her mother to fake her pregnancy since she was afraid of losing her husband after she had a miscarriage while four months pregnant.

The 28-year-old woman, who is now being held for falsely claiming she was kidnapped, had earlier confessed to the police that she was neither pregnant nor abducted.

SEE ALSO: I’m better than Patapaa – Wyse Addy

She confessed that the husband treated her with a lot of love and care within the four months that she was actually pregnant before the miscarriage and, so, found it difficult to break the bad news to him.

Out of the fear of losing her marriage and the love of her husband, she conspired with her mother to fake her pregnancy to full-term by using silicone belly pads.

They also faked her kidnapping to cover up the alleged loss of the baby.

She told the investigators that she always covered up her fake belly anytime she was with her husband.

Ms. Mensah allegedly went into hiding in Agona Nkwanta as part of the fake kidnapping plot but said she never thought the issue could gain this prominence.

On Thursday, 23 September 2021, some neighbors and co-tenants of hers rained curses on the Ghana Police Service and the Western Regional Minister for doubting her pregnancy claim and accusing her of faking her alleged kidnapping.

They thronged the streets of Takoradi Columbia in the victim-now-turned-suspect’s neighborhood to pour libation and break eggs to hex all sceptics.

Some of her neighbors and co-tenants said they saw her heavily pregnant.

She went missing on 16 September and was found at Axim a few days later without her apparent full-term pregnancy.

She claims she was kidnapped and delivered while in the custody of her kidnappers.

Both the Western Regional Minister and the police doubted the story.

The police, in a statement, announced the arrest of three persons suspected to have conspired with the lost-but-found woman over her disappearance and alleged pregnancy.

The police noted that for a number of years, the regional command has recorded several false kidnapping cases in which people conspired to create “self-kidnapping” incidents to make money out of ransoms.

The police further noted that medical experts have concluded that Mrs. Mensah was never pregnant.

According to the law enforcement agency, Mrs. Mensah, during her interrogation, mentioned the European Hospital in Takoradi as the hospital for her antenatal reviews and assessment but medical records at the facility suggest that she visited the hospital without pregnancy somewhere in October last year.

Committee makes 10 recommendations for government’s consideration

The three-member committee set up to probe circumstances leading to the clash between Police cum Military personnel and the irate youth of Ejura that led to the death of two persons on June 29, has made ten recommendations for the government’s consideration.

Ghanatodayonline.com has received a copy of the recommendations made by the Committee, which comprised George Kingsley Koomson, Justice of the Court of Appeal, Security Expert, Dr. Vladimir Antwi Danso, and Juliet Amoah, Executive Director of Penplusbyte, a civil society organization.

Among others, the committee recommended the transfer of the District Police Commander of Ejura, DSP Philip Kojo Hammond for his incompetence in handling the issue.

The Committee also recommended that the families of the two deceased and other affected persons, be compensated.

They also recommended the removal of the Ejura-Sekyedumase Municipal Chief Executive, Mohammed Salisu Bamba.

In shock over confession: Family and neighborhood of kidnapped pregnant woman

Family and neighborhood of “kidnapped pregnant woman” in shock over confession

The supposed Confession of the “kidnapped pregnant woman” in Takoradi, faking the whole process of kidnap and pregnancy, has thrown families and the neighborhood into a state of shock and disbelief.

A visit to the neighborhood by the Ghana News Agency saw groups of individuals and sympathizers trying to either come to terms with the “new truth” from the Ghana Police Service while others were expressing different dimensions to the twist and turn of events.

Information gathered in the neighborhood revealed that Josephine Mensah, the woman in contention has always been a calm and respectful woman to the admiration of all.

She is described by many as a decent woman, very calm with little or no friends.

Madam Ekua Atta, a neighbor, who confessed seeing her through the stages of pregnancy couldn’t fathom her reason of denial.

She queried, ” in fact, strange things happen in this world indeed, somebody that I have always seen with the pregnancy growing can now deny herself… what might have happened…madam”.

Meanwhile, Mr. Francis Essel, an uncle of Josephine told this reporter, “I am marveled at this revelation…I saw her myself,”.

C/R: About 20,000 people in Asikuma Odoben suffer a shortage of potable water.

C/R: About 20,000 people in Asikuma Odoben Brakwa District to suffer shortage of potable water.

Information gathered by Evans Kwaku Oboafi Junior (Hardrock), indicates that the People of Brakwa, Kokoso, and its environment in the Asikuma Odoben Brakwa District C/R are likely to suffer water shortage due to the government’s inability to pay Ghc 428,298.07 Dept to the Water generating and supply organization in the area.

According to the source, this huge amount the government of Ghana owes this organization (Brakwa Kokoso Water Board) during the free water supply era from April 2020 to March 2021 has led to the organization inability to pay Electricity bills, buy spare pumping machines, do an extension and many other maintenances.

Our background checks show clearly that, during July 2021, the supply of water to these areas was seized for about five days because the Electricity energy which is used to pump water from their engine room was disconnected by E.C.G.

Talking to Lawyer Kwame Ampofo, the board chairman of Brakwa Kokoso Water Board he made it clear that out of the total amount of Ghc 551,411 the government owes them, only Ghc 123,112.93 payment has been made by the Asikuma Odoben Brakwa District assembly so far.

The board chairman continues to explain to Evans Kwaku Oboafi Junior that much effort has been made to the Community Water and Sanitation office at Cape Coast but has yielded no fruit.

From a reliable source, we can say this organization still owes the Electricity Company of Ghana over Ghc 100k, which there are clear indications that their Electricity power will soon be disconnected, even if the other problems mentioned above do not take effect.
