Kwesi Nyantakyi’s ban has brought shame to Ghana – Nii Lante Vanderpuye

Former Sports Minister, Edwin Nii Lante Vanderpuye believes the lifetime ban handed to former Ghana Football Association President Kwesi Nyantakyi by FIFA, has brought ‘shame’ and ‘disgrace’ to the whole country.

Nyantakyi was handed a life ban by world football governing body, FIFA, on Tuesday for violations of Articles 19, 21 and 22 of the FIFA Code of Ethics following the airing of the Anas documentary in which the Wa All Stars chief was filmed taking bribes from undercover reporters.

He was also handed a hefty fine of 500,000 Swiss franc, equivalent to 2.4 million cedis.

Nii Lante, who never saw eye to eye with the former CAF first vice president, believes all Ghanaians must feel ashamed at Nyantakyi’s epic fall from grace.

“People thought I was on a witch hunt and today look at what has befallen our friend, our brother, our fellow Ghanaian. The disgrace and the shame are for all of us as a country and as a people involved in football and in sport,” he said.

The former Minister added that perceived corruption ought not to be taken for granted.

“That is why it is important that when any one of us is doing or is engaged in an act that we know will ultimately lead to any injury in the image and the reputation of the country as a whole, there is the need for us to be proactive in making sure that we deal with the situation and we try to advise that person to reform and to change his way of doing things.”

Most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by their Pastors – Papa Shee

Evangelist Papa Shee says most Ghanaians have been initiated into occultism by Pastors. According to him, most Pastors in Ghana currently are occults and with the way they are been celebrated by their followers, they initiate them into occult groups without their knowledge. He mentioned that Ghanaians lack knowledge and that has always been the reason why Pastors take advantage of them. Related Posts Quoting a Scripture from Matthew, Papa Shee mentioned that no one should refer to a man as his/her spiritual father because the word speaks against it.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities. Residents of the timber and Cocoa producing town in the Western Region of Ghana say they have been unfairly treated by several governments; the neglect they say they do not know what to attribute it to.
