    LGBTQ Sexuality And Its Health Complications: Ghana Does Not Have The Financial Muscles For That ; Good President Announced He Would Not Grant Them Their Legalisation Nonsense

    To conclude with on this LGBTQ Sexuality abnormalities, I want to state further that Ghana has no financial strength to treating their health complications associated with the practices.
    Already, the country is suffering to taking care of malaria death related to children under five 5 and other health issues in the country.

    The LGBTQ comes with a lot of health complications. The acceptance and affirmation of the sexuality is not the promised antidote for the problems inherent in LGBTQ.


    To reiterate, The Gay Lesbian Medical Association GLMA in Canada described the following detrimental effects associated with LGBTQ:.
    High rate of HIV/AIDS, Substance Abuse eg alcohol, cocaine, marijuana etc, Depression/Anxiety, Hepatitis, certain cancers affecting the colon, eating disorders, Sexually Transmitted Illnesses eg Anal Papilloma/HPV, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Chlamydia etc.

    Also, Reduced Life Expectancy:- Dr J. Satinover documents that LGBTQ lose 25-30 years of their life span.

    Data presented by U.S Centre For Diseases Control And Prevention ,2010, stipulated how LGBTQ gets HIV 44 times as compared to others with normal sexuality.

    With the aforementioned high risks of health related complications in LGBTQ sexual practices, it is good we all stand against its Legalisation and activities in the country to save our fragile economy.

    I still maintain that LGBTQ Sexuality is Mental illness and utramodern Psychiatric Hospitals be built to treating them with psychological needs .

    To those promoting their activities and hiding behind human rights issues should be advised, because that is how the practitioners started

    Those saying all sins are sins should seek education and know we have dimensions of sins and crimes hence God called some abominable sins, and the laws upgraded crimes:
    Insult sin can’t be equated to murder sins, likewise stealing stealing phone crime can’t be equated to assassination crime.

    Together, let us stand firm and defend our social and moral values.
    The church should wake up and lead the way by preaching openly against LGBTQ without fear or favor of Visa and monies as in offertories and special find raising.

    To the government, I pray the open condemnation by the president is not one of the usual talks we do hear from politicians and they then ignore their appointees behind the scenes to carrying out the same things they publicly condemned.

    We are all watching the president and his government on that and anyone in his government who is seen promoting the human rights of these LGBTQ people should be punished by him and we will celebrate him for going by actions not plenty talks.

    God bless Ghana.

  • Government Should Consider Changing Single Sex Schools Into Both Sex Schools To Curbing LGBTQ Fast Rising Menace

    Government Should Consider Changing Single Sex Schools Into Both Sex Schools To Curbing LGBTQ Fast Rising Menace

    Government Should Consider Changing Single Sex Schools Into Both Sex Schools To Curbing LGBTQ Fast Rising Menace

    Open Letter To Education Minister And Director of GES.

    As we still deliberating on how best to reducing and orienting LGBTQ victims in our sociocultural settings, I consider the followings :

    ° That our single Sex Schools be gradually changed into mix schools ; that will help in full orientation of the young ones as they grow into late adolescent and adulthood.

    ° Psychological Counseling In All Schools ; this will encourage those with issues to that effect to seek redress taking into consideration their confidentiality won’t be broken.

    ° Empower Mental Health Authority to periodically give intensive Mental Health education in all the schools; this will give insight to the students to appreciating the problems and seeking for solution.

    Information available suggested that the induction of LGBTQ victims has their basis from the single Sex Schools. When you take ten 10 victims, probability of eight 8 being introduced to this abominable act started from school or better still, the one who championing this evil course have their second cycle schools in single Sex Schools.

    The affinity /attraction starts when same sex students jokingly plays with each others sexual parts and then move into actions. Those who boldly confirmed the disorder testified to that.

    I therefore call on all the stakeholders from parliament, ministry of education, GES, PTA , government and like-minded NGOs to get involved in reducing this rising social disorder among our future leaders.

    Our religions are against it, social and moral values against it too. It is time we go into action without fear or favor.

  • Funny face Reunites with Family Again

    Funny face Reunites with Family Again

    Comedian and actor Funny Face has reunited with his baby mama and children at the Accra Psychiatric Hospital.

    Fellow actor Kwaku Manu joined Vanessa Nicole and his children to pay a visit to him at the psychiatric hospital to check-up on him.

    Vanessa shared some beautiful photos with the comedian on her Instagram page today but didn’t add any detail to them.

    She only shared the photo, which includes her newly born baby, with the caption: “Glory be to God”.

    Last week, Funny Face was forced by the Ofankor Circuit Court to undergo a two-week mental examination at the Accra Psychiatric Hospital after appearing before the court.

    The court presided over by Ebenezer Osei Darko said the Children’s President ‘could be having a mental crisis and possibly going through depression’, hence, his admission to the Accra Psychiatric Hospital to examine his mental health.

    And after his admission, a Public Relations officer of the facility, Emmanuel Appiah, told Rainbow Radio that the facility will give Funny Face the best of care.

    He said Funny Face needs love now and not insults and attacks from fans and colleagues in the showbiz industry.

    “No matter what Funny went through, he will recover. We will put in everything we know to help him recover,” he is quoted to have said.

    Mr Appiah stated that Funny Face is not the only personality to be experiencing depression, citing Prince Harry in the United Kingdom as one of the top personalities who have suffered depression.

  • Diana Hamilton Gets Vaccinated in the UK

    Diana Hamilton Gets Vaccinated in the UK

    Award-winning gospel musician, Mrs Diana Hamilton, has received the Covid-19 vaccine in the United Kingdom.

    According to her, she took the vaccine a few weeks ago and had wanted to share it immediately with fans and followers.

    However, she decided to undergo a bit of monitoring following the numerous stories and misconceptions about the vaccines.

    “People told me I didn’t have faith that was why I went for the vaccine but the truth is covid is real and not a fiction,” she said.

    Mrs Hamilton took to her social media pages to share the video after which she narrated a terrific covid-19 experience which almost claimed her life and that of her husband.

    “I had it and so did my husband but it was only God who protected our children because our experience was that bad and no fun at all.

    “People we know have died out of it but I am grateful to be alive and I will urge you to appreciate God for my life as well because it was not easy,” she recounted.

    To her, it will be important for all and sundry to take advantage of the vaccination once it gets to their vicinity just to protect them from the deadly disease.

    “I have not been given money by any hospital or organisation to campaign that covid is real but this is based on my experience.

    “I will urge that to clear all doubts about the vaccines, read about them and ask questions don’t make decisions based on hearsay and go for it when it gets to you because it is real,” she urged.

  • Akuffo Addo Closes LGBT Offices…

    Akuffo Addo Closes LGBT Offices…

    The office of Lesbians Gays Bisexuals Transgender Queer LGBTQ in Ghana located at Tesano has been ordered shut down by president Nana addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Dikoder.com reports.

    A combined team of heavily armed police accompanied by also armed plain cloth National Security officials reportedly stormed the LGBTQ building and ordered all operations and activities ceased immediately with occupants to vacate premises.

    The closure was confirmed by Moses Foh Amoaning who is the Executive Secretary of the National Coalition for Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values.

    Mr. Foh-Amoaning had earlier called on the government to close down the newly opened LGBT office in Tesano.

    According to him, his coalition is made up of the Christian Council and the Catholic Bishops Conference, the Muslim community as well as the traditional rulers, making it a tripartite coalition fighting this LGBT agenda in Ghana which could turn its heat on Akufo-Addo should he fail to heed.

    Giving the background of the LGBTQ movement, Lawyer Foh-Amoaning said that its formation started in New York City and extended to California and has since spread throughout the world now coming to Ghana.

    This latest move will not be pleasing to the European Union which played a key role in the opening of the office. The EU in Ghana said it fully supports gay rights and called on Ghanaians to respect all human rights.

  • LGBT Office Cannot be Closed- lawyer Joyce Opoku

    LGBT Office Cannot be Closed- lawyer Joyce Opoku

    Ghana has witnessed the opening of a Gay, Lesbians, etc. rights group opening up an office, an entire house complex as its administrative office, the first of its kind in the entire sub region! Calls are ripe for its closure.

    So far, the likes of Lawyer Foh Amoaning, Hon. Samuel George Nettey, the Catholic Bishops Conference, are the leading voices calling for their immediate shut down, but it has fallen on deaf ears, nearing the third week, since it opened!

    A Human Rights lawyer Joyce Opoku Boateng had however argued that, will be illegal to invade and close down the office of LGBT people in Accra. She was speaking to Morning Starr’s Lantam Papanko. The Human Rights lawyer had said the LGBT people have rights that must be respected.

    “I don’t think it will be right for anyone to invade their office and attack them because they have not met to engage in any sexual activities. Every human being when you’re born has a fundamental right that no one can take away from you. But we have our norms and culture that frown upon certain things,” she said.

    However, our checks on the lady has revealed that, she is a leading member of this government and is serving as the Deputy Chief Executive (DCE) officer of Middle Belt Development Authority, a position she was appointed to by the President, Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo. She describes herself indeed as a Lawyer and Human Rights Activist on her said official page Joyce Opoku-Boateng.

    Her appointment was done in 13th April, 2018 in a much publicized press release still on the presidency website:

    The Middle Belt Development Authority is mandated to primarily provide a framework for the accelerated economic and social development of the Middle Belt Zone currently comprising of the Ashanti, Eastern, Bono, Bono East, and Ahafo Regions.

    On her Official Facebook page also, several pictures of her, actively engaging in party politics and seen in the company of top NPP and governmental officials like President Nana Addo, Vice Pres. Bawumia and many others is convincing proof that, she is highly connected in Ghana’s politics.

  • Tsatsu Tsikata warns the Court with a Bible Quote

    Tsatsu Tsikata warns the Court with a Bible Quote

    Lead counsel of the petitioner in the ongoing election petition hearing Tsatsu Tsikata has yet again made a case for the Supreme Court to reconsider its ruling on Tuesday, February 16.


    The seven justices of the apex court of Ghana unanimously dismissed the application of the petitioner, John Dramani Mahama, for the case to be re-opened in order to subpoena the Chair of the Electoral Commission, Ghana (EC), the First Respondent, to testify in court as a “hostile witness”.

    On Monday, February 22, Mr Tsikata questioned the basis of the ruling, saying the justices themselves were surprised when the First Respondent closed its case without calling its witness, Jean Adukwei Mensah, to testify.

    Mr Tsikata said the justices may have their reasons for the decision to dismiss the application but “it is the ruling of the panel that we are here to question”.

    “I am not in the minds of the panel,” he stressed.

    He further argued that for Mrs Mensa to have filed a witness statement meant that she was committed to mount the witness box.

    “We have no reason to say she was not telling the truth,” he said.

    For him, the Holy Bible should guide the nine justices reviewing the case, quoting Hosea 8:7.

    It states: “For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.”

    He concluded: “May each of the lordships decide based on your conscience and your judicial oath.”

    Tsatsu Tsikata now believes the bible could convince the bench so as to bring Jean Mensah into the box.

  • Pontoon breaks down on Volta Lake

    Pontoon breaks down on Volta Lake

    A pontoon that ferries cargo and passengers across the Volta Lake at Ekye Amanfrom in the Kwahu Affram Plains South district has broken down.

    The vessel reportedly developed an engine problem leaving passengers stranded for hours.

    Spokesperson of the National Cargo Drivers Association Dickson Agyei Donkor said a storm around 4:30 pm on Monday caused the ferry to lose its direction while sailing from Ekye Amanfrom to Adawso.

    He said some passengers were temporarily assisted to cross the river with canoes and outboard motors.

    Mr Donkor further lamented that all calls to authorities to repair one of the engines which broke down about past six months ago have proven futile.

    “The pontoon has two engines. One is already spoilt. We have constantly complained about it. We have reported to the DCE, Yaw Ofori who also led us to the Ministry. There, they called the Volta River Authority and they assured us they would come and repair the other engine,” he told JoyNews.

    Meanwhile, another vessel has been dispatched from Akosombo to help the crossing of the rest of the stranded commuters.
