Rawlings surprises street beggar with undisclosed sum

Excited Mr. Ofoe handed his money as the former President watches on.

Former President Jerry John Rawlings on Friday brought joy to a physically-challenged street beggar when he donated an undisclosed sum to him. 

The money is to cater to Emmanuel Ofoe’s daughter’s graduation as a hairdresser.

Mr. Ofoe who rides in a rickety custom-made wheelchair with a CD number plate at the Kawukudi junction in Kanda, a suburb of Accra slipped a note detailing his predicament to the former President in traffic earlier last week.

In his note informed the former President of the challenge he had in supporting his daughter who had completed training as a hairdresser in Ada, to graduate. 

Little did he know that there was hope on the horizon. 

Excited after the donation at the former President’s office, he expressed gratitude for the generosity. 

Mr. Ofoe said that the money will go to pay for the graduation fee as well as a decent reception for the family and friends who grace the ceremony.

According to him, he had been ‘stationed’ at Kawukudi for about 10 years.

Emotional Mr. Ofoe disclosed that he became physically-challenged at the age of six after he fell sick and later developed a neurological side effect which could not be treated.

Charismatic former President Rawlings has a warm relationship with hawkers at the Kawukudi junction.

One groundnut seller who persistently dropped a little bag of groundnuts into his car now sells minerals and chilled water from a freezer donated by Mr. Rawlings’ office.

Another young lady who was found selling to raise funds to continue her education has been sponsored to go back to school.

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.

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. A worrying feature of their roads they say is the fact that moving from Samreboi to neighbouring villages and towns become impossible especially during the rainy season hence bringing economic activities to a standstill. Residents say even though the year has been declared “Year of Roads” they are yet to see a kilometre of road being constructed. To the Youth especially, leaders in their part of the country have failed them after years of exploiting them for their own interest. They say they will advise themselves if nothing is done ab...
