Akufo-Addo to receive standing ovation in Churches after breaking his silence on Homosexuality

President Akufo-Addo has broken his long silence over the raging subject of homosexuality currently under discussion in Ghana saying at the St. Michael and All Angels Cathedral on Saturday, 27 February 2021, that homosexuality will not be legalized under his government to wide applause and a standing ovation.

Several Churches goers interviewed by MyNewsGh.com late night yesterday said today, Sunday they hope to pray for him in Church and clap unend to celebrate his decisive decision. They said they are happy about the decision announced by the President and hope this puts matters to rest. Faith groups have been instrumental in opposition to the subject of homosexuality and had called on Akufo-Addo to speak.

President Akufo-Addo was speaking in the Church in commemoration of the installation of the Second Archbishop of the Anglican Church of Ghana at Asante Mampong in the Ashanti Region when he announced his position on the controversial LGBTQ matter which has been trending for days.

“I have said it before, and let me stress it again, that it will not be under the Presidency of Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo that same-sex marriage will be legal,” he said, repeating over and over again for emphasis “It will not happen! It will not happen! It will not happen!”

This is expected to put the subject matter to rest.

This comes after Akufo-Addo earlier said homosexuality is illegal in Ghana because there are not enough activists pushing for its legalization in the early days of his administration.

President Akufo-Addo held an interview on Talk to Al Jazeera hosted by Jane Dutton when he said a sufficiently strong coalition had not emerged that will eventually push for a change in the law.

Currently, under Ghanaian criminal law (Chapter 6 of the Criminal Code, 1960, as amended by The Criminal Code (Amendment) Act, 2003) same-sex sexual activity among males is illegal. It is uncertain whether same-sex sexual activity among females is illegal.

However, the President foresees a change in the law and says that just like elsewhere in the world, the activities of such individuals and groups will provoke a change in Ghana’s laws which frown on same-sex marriage.

This time around however, the President has stated in unequivocal terms that he is against it and it will never happen, at least under his leadership.

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. 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...
