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.

A member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) based in the United States, Dr Arthur Kobina Kennedy, has said some Members of Parliament have been denied visas and warned to stay away from the anti-gay bill which is currently before Parliament.
He said it is sad that “this intimidation is coming mainly from the Western diplomatic community.”
The Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill was laid in the House on Monday, August 2 and read for the first time.
Reading for the first time, a clerk in the legislative assembly stated that the Bill proscribes lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender, queer and intersex (LGBTQI) and other related activities and propaganda or advocacy and promotion for same.
It also came to light that it supports protection for children and persons who are victims or accused of homosexuality.
Second Deputy Speaker Andrew Asiamah Amoako referred the Bill to the Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Committee for consideration.
“For the first time, it is referred to the Committee on Constitutional, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs for consideration and report,” Mr Asiamah Amoako, who is also the MP for Fomena, directed.

The controversial anti-gay bill has already divided opinion in the Ghanaian public discourse.
While some, particularly the religious and traditional groupings, have supported the Bill and hopeful of its passing, others say it could incur the wrath of the international community against Ghana.
Commenting on this development in a statement, Dr Arthur Kennedy said ” My goal today, is not to opine on the merits of the bill. Indeed, I wish, in the words of the sages, we had “allowed sleeping dogs to lie”. The homosexual community, in my view, were doing fine, in their private spaces, subject to the protections of the law accorded to all citizens.
“Unfortunately, the opposition to the bill, motivated by the noble desire to promote tolerance for our homosexual community, has been characterized by intolerance.
” Some lawmakers, including the bill’s sponsor, Sam George have been threatened publicly and privately. Calls have been made to the Speaker, threatening MPs. Some have been denied visas and warned to stay away from this issue. It is sad that this intimidation is coming mainly from the Western diplomatic community.”
Below is his full statement…
TOLERANCE AND THE DEBATE ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY IN GHANA
The pending legislation about homosexuality in Ghana has led to unfortunate manifestations of intolerance. Parliament is considering a bill that would criminalize certain aspects of homosexual conduct in Ghana.
In response, significant segments of the community, including Christian, Muslim and traditional authorities have offered support. On the other hand, there is an impressive array of intellectuals and government officials who are opposing the proposed bill. Indeed, a significant part of the diplomatic community too, has weighed in, to oppose the bill.
My goal today, is not to opine on the merits of the bill. Indeed, I wish, in the words of the sages, we had “allowed sleeping dogs to lie”. The homosexual community, in my view, were doing fine, in their private spaces, subject to the protections of the law accorded to all citizens.
Unfortunately, the opposition to the bill, motivated by the noble desire to promote tolerance for our homosexual community, has been characterized by intolerance.
Some lawmakers, including the bill’s sponsor, Sam George have been threatened publicly and privately. Calls have been made to the Speaker, threatening MPs. Some have been denied visas and warned to stay away from this issue. It is sad that this intimidation is coming mainly from the Western diplomatic community.
In addition to democracy and the rule of law, the West exemplifies, to the eternal admiration of people like me, the attitude of tolerance. It is at the heart of multi-party democracy and the support of minority rights etc that make the West such a powerful example to the rest of the world.
As JFK put it, “Tolerance implies no lack of commitment to one’s own beliefs. Rather, it condemns the oppression or persecution of others.”.
The West argued that dealing with China and Russia was better that isolating them. The West insisted on constructive engagement with Apartheid South Africa while we beat War drums. They were right.. Let us not fight intolerance with intolerance.
The next time there is an election dispute or tribal fighting and the West comes preaching tolerance, it would help if opportunists cannot remind us of Western intolerance!
The problem of this bill is not the Parliament. It is reflecting public opinion. Let us continue to educate the public.
Finally, to Parliament, continue this new attitude, by championing the interest of the public for Healthcare, jobs and for fighting the canker of corruption.
Long live tolerance. Long live Ghana. Arthur Kobina Kennedy.

“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.”

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.”

“Peace starts from within”
Concerning the overthrow of President Alpha Condé, former president of Guinea and leader of the Rally of the Guinean People, and statements issued by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the African Union (AU), and the United Nations (UN) condemning the overthrow of Guinea’s president by the elite military. I also deplore the above-mentioned organizations’ hypocritical condemnation of Col. Malady Doumbouya and his men’s actions.
Before President Condé was ousted, he committed unconstitutional acts.
Following turbulent elections that the opposition rejected, President Condé was sworn in for a third term at a ceremony in Conakry.
The 83-year-old president pushed through constitutional changes in March allowing him for a third term to run despite a two-term limit.
The move led to opposition candidates boycotting the October 18 vote and caused deadly clashes across Guinea.
Conde’s main rival, former prime minister Cellou Dalein Diallo, and other opposition figures alleged irregularities in the official poll results that showed Condé won with 59.5% of the vote.
But the constitutional court president said they had produced no evidence and declared Condé the winner.
. SEE ALSO: TRAINING ORGANIZE FOR FARMERS IN THE JAMAN NORTH DISTRICT IMPROVES THEIR WORK(+Voice).
The ECOWAS, UN, and AU did not perceive anything wrong with President Conde’s unconstitutional move and even congratulated him on it. This, I believe, had a role in his overthrow as well.
Inflation, which remained at 9.8% in 2018, exceeded double-digit levels, owing to increases in fuel prices and electricity rates, according to the military leader’s verbal statement and the World Bank in Guinea. Guinea has a wealth of natural resources, particularly in mining and hydropower.
Guineans should not be poor or suffer before earning their daily food, but this was not the case; there was a high unemployment rate, insecurity, and a high cost of living. The so-called ECOWAS, AU, and UN failed to notice and support the country which also contributed to his overthrow.
The military will be kicked out of ECOWAS if president Condé is not reinstated, according to an ECOWAS statement.
Let me take this opportunity to sincerely ask ECOWAS and its leader, President Akufo Addo, what benefits ECOWAS countries receive.
ECOWAS does not appear to work as it did in the past, according to my research. ECOWAS has devolved into a pointless organization that merely applauds criminals.
The fact that the good inhabitants of Guinea were even excited about the removal of their president proved that they were suffering greatly. On this point, I respectfully request that President Akufo Addo, ECOWAS leader, the AU, and the UN withdraw their superfluous proclamations, and instead join together with Guinea’s elite military to change the constitution, fight corruption, and make things work better.
Guinea has the right to expect more.
Africa is entitled to a higher standard.
Africa’s leaders must act now!.
EAI is calling for Peace and Stability. Africans must build Africa. It’s possible.

Afghan universities will be segregated by gender, and a new dress code will be introduced, the Taliban has said.
Higher Education Minister Abdul Baqi Haqqani indicated women would be allowed to study, but not alongside men.
He also announced a review of the subjects students would be taught.
Women and girls were banned from schools and universities under Taliban rule between 1996 and 2001.
The Taliban have said they will not prevent women from being educated or having jobs. But since they seized control on 15 August, they have asked all women, except those in the public health sector, to stay away from work, until the security situation improves.
Sunday’s announcement of the higher education policy comes a day after the Taliban raised their flag over the presidential palace, signalling the beginning of their administration. They seized control from the elected government a month ago.
The policy marks a significant change from the accepted practice before the Taliban takeover. Female students did not have to abide by a dress code, and universities were co-educational, with men and women studying side by side.
But Mr Haqqani was unapologetic about that change. “We have no problems in ending the mixed-education system,” he said. “The people are Muslims and they will accept it.”
Some have suggested that the new rules will exclude women from education because the universities do not have the resources to provide separate classes. However, Mr Haqqani insisted there are enough female teachers and that where they are not available alternatives will be found.
“It all depends on the university’s capacity,” he said. “We can also use male teachers to teach from behind a curtain, or use technology.”
Girls and boys will also be segregated at primary and secondary schools, which was already common throughout Afghanistan.
Women will be required to wear hijabs, however Mr Haqqani did not specify if additional face coverings would be made compulsory
The newly installed minister also said that the subjects taught in universities will be reviewed. He told reporters that the Taliban wanted to “create a reasonable and Islamic curriculum that is in line with our Islamic, national and historical values and, on the other hand, be able to compete with other countries”.
The announcement comes after a demonstration by women supportive of the Taliban’s gender policies at Shaheed Rabbani Education University in Kabul yesterday.
Hundreds of women, most of them wearing black niqabs and carrying small Taliban flags, listened to speeches that praised the new regime and attacked those involved in large demonstrations across the country demanding the protection of women’s rights.
Since the Taliban were removed from power in 2001, enormous progress has been made in improving Afghanistan’s education enrolments and literacy rates – especially for girls and women.
A recent report by the United Nation’s education branch, UNESCO, said that the number of girls in primary school had increased from almost zero to 2.5 million in the 17 years after Taliban control.BBCEducation in Afghanistan
Source: UNESCO
The report also said the female literacy rate had nearly doubled in a decade to 30%.
The Taliban’s new government has also replaced the Women’s Affairs Ministry with the Ministry of Vice and Virtue.
The much feared department was responsible for deploying religious police to the streets to enforce Sharia law during the Taliban’s previous spell in power. It became known for beating women for infractions such as dressing immodestly and being outside without a male guardian.
Many prominent professional women fled Afghanistan in anticipation of the group’s return to power. The country’s biggest pop singer Aryana Sayeed left the country on a US cargo plane and the famed film director Sahraa Karimi was evacuated to Ukraine.

The Economic Communicty of West African States (ECOWAS) has said it has noted with great concern the recent political developments which occurred in Conakry, Republic of Guinea.
ECOWAS in a communique on Sunday condemned “with the greatest firmness this coup attempt on Sunday, September 5, 2021.”
“ECOWAS demands respect for the physical integrity of the President of the Republic, the Professor Alpha Condé and his immediate and unconditional release as well as that of all the personalities arrested.
“It also demands the return to constitutional order on pain of sanctions. ECOWAS reaffirms its disapproval of any unconstitutional political change.

However, the defence ministry said the attempted takeover had been thwarted by the presidential guard.
This follows hours of heavy gunfire near the presidential palace in the capital, Conakry.

A group of African workers in the United Arab Emirates have been brutalised, thrown into jail and then deported, researchers from two NGOs have found.
In a new report, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor and Impact International for Human Rights Policies detail how the migrants were arrested en masse in June and then subjected to brutal treatment while in prison.
“They took us straight to prison, not even a police station,” Ugandan Kennedy Rubangakene told Focus on Africa TV.
“I was surprised because I did not know why I was there. I worked [there] legally I had the legal documents. My contract had just been renewed.
“There was no offence that I was charged with. They did not even take me to court. There was no offence.”
The authorities in the UAE said the arrests were legal and aimed at “prostitution networks [which] were involved in human trafficking offences, indecent acts, and extortion” adding that “those arrested were found to be involved in these crimes”.

The researchers spoke to more than 100 of those affected, mostly from Uganda, Cameroon and Nigeria.
They had valid paperwork and were employed in a variety of roles including cleaners, waiters, nurses and electricians, the report says.
The “attacks were planned, targeted and racially motivated”, Michela Pugliese from Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor alleged on the BBC’s Focus on Africa programme.
She also detailed how privileges among workers in the UAE vary according to ethnic origin.
In response, the UAE government “categorically denied the report’s racist suggestions, stressing that the [country] adopts strict laws and practices with regards to non-discrimination in all cases”.
The US has carried out a drone strike on the Islamic State (IS) group in eastern Afghanistan, killing a member of the group, military officials say.
The operation targeted a “planner” from the IS-K group in Nangahar Province.
IS-K said it had carried out an attack in Kabul on Thursday that may have killed as many as 170 people, including 13 US troops.
The US said “initial indications” suggested the strike had killed the IS target, and no civilians had died.
President Joe Biden promised on Friday to hunt down the jihadists behind Thursday’s suicide bombing.
IS-K, or Islamic State Khorasan Province, which said it had carried out the attack, is a branch of the Islamic State group.
It is the most extreme and violent of all the jihadist militant groups in Afghanistan.

“We will not forgive, we will not forget. We will hunt you down and make you pay,” Mr Biden warned the perpetrators on Friday.
Roughly 5,000 US troops are still stationed at Kabul airport, processing Afghans desperate to leave.
This is the first US drone strike reported in Afghanistan since Thursday’s blast.
“The unmanned airstrike occurred in the Nangarhar Province of Afghanistan. Initial indications are that we killed the target,” said Captain Bill Urban of Central Command. “We know of no civilian casualties.”

A leading expert has warned an easing of restrictions has led Germany to the brink of a third wave. Intensive care doctors warn that partial lockdown measures must be put back in place.
Intensive care doctors say some measures should be put back in place to avoid another resurgence
The number of coronaviruses in Germany grew 20% in the past week, as lockdown restrictions are gradually eased, an expert at the Robert Koch Institute for infectious diseases (RKI) said Tuesday.
The figures were released as the country’s intensive care doctors warn of the need for an “immediate return” to partial lockdown to avoid a dangerous third wave of coronavirus cases.
“We are exactly on the flank of the third wave. That can no longer be disputed. And, at this point, we have eased the restrictions and that is speeding up the exponential growth,” RKI epidemiologist Dirk Brockmann told German broadcaster ARD.
Brockmann said the loosening of measures was particularly unhelpful given the exponential growth that has occurred with the British virus variant B117.
“It has been totally been irrational to loosen up here. It’s just fueling this exponential growth.”
German intensive care doctors on Monday warned that some measures should be put back in place to avoid another resurgence.
“From the data we currently have and with the spread of the British mutation, we would argue strongly to return immediately into a lockdown to avoid a strong third wave,” Christian Karagiannidis, director of Germany’s intensive care register, told broadcaster RBB.
The Director of the Kenya Anti-corruption Commission and Director of the Kenya School of Law as well as a Pan-Africanist, Professor Patrick Loch Otieno Lumumba, in a zoom interview with Maxwell Nkansah stated how disappointed he is by the president of Ghana.
According to him, the President of Ghana at the beginning of his tenure of office had the vision to uplift the country in terms of industrialization and development but so far there is nothing to show with growing tales of mismanagement.
He then added that he wishes the President of Ghana could rebuild himself to becoming the enhanced President the country needs. Professor Patrick Lumumba also bemoaned the spectacle of the parliament of Ghana seeking the approval of payment for the presidential spouse.
He further stated that the demonstration by the Ghanaian youth on the street of Accra, the capital city of Ghana evidently shows the frustration of voters and how tough life is becoming under the leadership of the Akufor Addo administration.

He said, the president still has the intellectual fire powers of leadership but things haven’t been the way he rumored would go for him.
In the course of the interview, Professor Lumumba’s opinion was asked whether the short-term implementation of the ECO currency is sustainable. “I believe the year duration of 3 to 4 years is short for the implementation of the new currency which will be used by the whole African continent.
According to him, a maximum of 10 years should be used to implement the ECO currency due to the difference in economic conditions within various African countries to deal with their micro and macro-economic issues”. He added. He stated that this was the vision of the First President and the founder of Ghana, Dr Kwame Nkrumah.
He said he held the view that it was far overdue for such steps to be taken and believed it will become one of the strong currencies in the world.
The Pan-Africanist PLO Lumumba also lamented on seeing the Africa he loves with his heart having a continent that will be free from corruption. He further stated that in the course of fighting corruption, deliberate actions must be taken to combat corruption by making an example of those who participate in it.
Loch Otieno Lumumba stressed the need to keep corrupt people out of office and harped on the need to strip public officials of any ill-gotten wealth while in the exercise of their duties.
