Akufo-Addo luckiest President but… NDC

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will go down in history as the luckiest President in Ghana in terms of revenues and resources but certainly will also go down as the President who has done very little for Ghana, the Minority in Parliament has said. According to the Minority, when it comes to policies and programmes that affect the lives of the ordinary Ghanaian, Nana Akufo-Addo has done little. The Minority believes the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has a superior record to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) while describing the Akufo-Addo government as corrupt. Speaking at a press conference in Accra on Wednesday, February 12, 2020, Mr John Abdulai Jinapor, former Deputy Minister of Energy under the John Mahama administration said “Ghanaians voted for President Akufo-Addo because he promised to tackle corruption head-on. Indeed, he raised the expectations of Ghanaians and promised categorically not to run a family and friends’ government. Today, you and I ...

I Enjoyed My Time In Charge As A Ghana Coach - AVRAM GRANT

I WILL WELCOME AN OPPORTUNITY TO COACH THE BLACKSTARS AGAIN Former Black Stars Coach Avram Grant says he will welcome an opportunity to manage the senior national team again. “I really miss Ghana and I want to re-unite with Ghana again if I am given the opportunity. I have so many memories about Ghana and I must say that Kwesi Nyantakyi did extremely well as the President of the Ghana Football Association but it’s quite unfortunate,” he said in an interview.

"Reading Scripture with African Pentecostal Eyes; Implications for Eco-care and Eco-mission:. - Pastor Emmanuel Paa Kwesi Awudi

PASTOR EMMANUEL PAA KWESI AWUDI WRITES: I presented a paper today at the Faculty of Theology, Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany on the theme, "Reading Scripture with African Pentecostal Eyes; Implications for Eco-care and Eco-mission". Looking at the filth that has engulfed the African continent, one would expected to see serious theological discuss on ecology, especially on the part of African Pentecostals and neo-Pentecostals (the fastest growing Christian movement in Africa). But this is not so. In my opinion, this is due to what I call, "reading scripture with African Pentecostal Eyes". When we lack sufficient biblical definition of God’s mission for humanity, we tend to exclude care for creation other-than-human in our Christian mission. And since Africa has become a heartland of World Christianity, eco-theology must feature extensively in African theological discourse and mission praxis, for the theology that matters is where the m...

Barely a day after a video clip of Popcaan smoking a substance believed to be marijuana went viral, the Jamaican artiste has proposed a meeting with Kwaw Kese and the Ghana government to strengthen arguments for the legalization of the herb in the country.

Reposting the video which was captioned: “Only in Ghana foreigners can fuck up like this. When @kwawkese smoked in public he was arrested. So this means our law set only to control on the citizens but foreigners are free to go… the most painful part is Ghana police. None of them was able to speak the truth out because of the small coins which will be given out... Ooh Ghana”, Kwaw Kese asked his followers to discuss the issue at hand. The Ghanaian rapper’s post attracted reactions from several people i...
