He contends that if the IGP who is an Elder at his Church reads the Bible well, he wouldn’t caution Pastors and Prophets against telling the world what the Lord has revealed to them on 31st December. “The IGP who I am told is an Elder in his church should read his Bible well. I think he will do well if he focuses on his core mandate of fighting crime instead of meddling in matters of faith.” He said “For me, the issue of prophecy is an issue of spirituality, faith and belief. If you don’t believe in it, don’t listen or pay attention to it. It’s as simple as that. But if you you believe in it, know that God reveals to redeem. And that all prophecies are for exhortation, edification and comfort”. The Ghana Police Service has issued a warning to Ghanaians especially religious leaders against false prophecies...

The petitioner whose name was not given is also an elder of the Church of Pentecost serving alongside Dr. Joseph Siaw Agyapong popularly known as Jospong.

If you thought Stephen Atubiga’s resignation from the National Democratic Congress to form National Liberation Congress meant he will leave John Mahama alone, you may be mistaken as the former NDC member has launched a tirade against the 2020 NDC flagbearer. According to Atubiga  his examination of the Christmas speech given by John Mahama shows a man out of touch with the suffering and feeling of the ordinary Ghanaian footsoldier on the street, describing the speech as “dada bee” speech. Mr. Mahama had bemoaned the hardship the country finds itself in when he read out a Christmas message on social media. But Atubiga believes the former President is only pretending. “Yes, I listened to VanDam’s Christmas speech. The same old daada -bee speech. He knows nothing about real hunger out there on the street. He doesn’t know how the foot soldiers and grassroots are hungry in their homes.” He wrote. Mr. Atubiga further described the former President’s comeback in 2024 as impossible a...

The right thing must be done.” He intimates that as a Christian country with the blessings of God, it’s shocking that the country suffers and struggles.

Member of Parliament for North Tongu Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has described moves by Emirates to ban travels to some selected African countries as discriminatory. Emirates has banned travels to some selected African countries including Ghana, Angola, Guinea, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Côte d’Ivoire and Ethiopia.

Songstress Wendy Shay has disclosed that it’s becoming a worrying trend as upcoming artites in Nigeria have access to the bodies of top Stars in Ghana. To the Ruff Town Records signee, the vice verse cannot happen in Nigeria and therefore it’s imperative that it’s dealt with.

He says people who are critical of the current government are tagged as enemies of the government; a situation he deems worrying. “A man bled from yesterday to today.

A Candidate squarely defeated in the last University of Ghana Students Representative Council elections, one Samuel Amos Ofosu has been sworn in via Zoom. Our readers will recall how the University of Ghana Electoral Commission announced Prince Asumadu and Wisdom Ndukwe as President and Veep elect in the 2021 Student Representative (SRC) elections. The two received 7,647 votes, representing 51.6% of the total vote. Their defeated rivals, Samuel Amos Ofosu and his colleague, Alfred Acquah were only able to get 7,156 votes representing 48.3%. In a rather dramatic twist of sabotage and mafia allegedly perpetrated by the ruling NPP’s Youth wing, the defeated candidate, instead of the rightfully elected Prince Asumadu, was sworn in. The UG SRC presidential election was a keen contest between Prince Asumadu and Amos Ofosu. The pair, both third-year students, allegedly received support from the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC). The first roun...

Investigative Journalist Manasseh Azure has reminded the National Democratic Congress (NDC) on the need to learn how to collate their votes. The NDC came under immense pressure from its supporters when it turned out they did not collate their figures in 2020. The party could not provide the country and its supporters especially the number of votes they had during the election. Worrying was the fact that the party could not present a single pink sheet during the supreme court case. Manasseh Azure has in some time past asked the party to learn how to collate their figures because no excuse will be accepted during the 2024 election. He believes that the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo government is campaigning for John Dramani Mahama and therefore there are indications that the former President will win the 2024 election. However, the party can lose out if they do not take their collation seriously like they have done in the past. His tweet read “2021 is almost over. NDC, have you now...

Seasoned Journalist, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako said the misconduct of the Members of Parliament with regard to the controversial e-levy should not go unaccounted for. Tension in the House on Monday, December 20, escalated into fisticuffs between the MPs as they threw punches at one another during proceedings. Similarly, in January this year before the formation of the 8th Parliament, some members violently misbehaved in the Legislative House which saw the Tema West Member of Parliament, Carlos Ahenkorah plundering ballot papers in an attempt to abscond but was met with fierce fight from the Minority members. Another similar scene was captured on Wednesday, December 1, where some Minority members further attempted to pull the Speaker’s seat, also resulting in a near-brawl.

He added “I’m not tired to respond to my accusers but my time is so limited and it won’t benefit me to respond to such people. “So if I spend all my time to respond as to why people shouldn’t say such things about me it means we’re all wasting our time,” he fumed. The multiple award-winner, songwriter and producer revealed to Amansan Krakye on Kastle FM that he won’t respond to accusers who have chosen to tarnish his reputation. He continued “Maybe that’s the job my accusers have decided to do to tarnish my image but I’ve also chosen to focus on doing my songs to forge ahead. “So I have chosen my job and so they should also choose their job but if they think I’ll beg them to stop say...

Political Scientist Professor Ransford Gyampo has argued that Speakers of Parliament are not impartial since they are partisan, advising that Members of Parliament need to build consensus or continue to ‘fight’ in Parliament. His comments come at a time Parliament has been plunged into chaos over the imposition of the electronic transactions levy( E-Levy) on the citizenry. While the New Patriotic Party (NPP) MPs are hell-bent on ensuring that the tax is imposed, MPs of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) are opposed to it. At parliamentary sitting to pass a bill imposing the tax, Parliament plunged into chaos with MPs trading blows and hurling insults at one another over whether or not the First Deputy Speaker Joe Osei-Owusu had the right to vote whole presiding as Speaker. For Prof Gyampo, building consensus in Parliament is a sure way to avoid the chaos been witnessed given that the Parliament is a hung one, where the NDC and NPP both have 137 MPs apiece with one independent ...

The Minster for Youth and Sports and Member of Parliament for Yagaba-Kubori, Mustapha Ussif was rushed to the Parliament Clinic last night after the infamous brawl among Majority and Minority legislators during the voting on the E-levy bill. According to the First Deputy Majority Chief Whip and MP for Tolon, Iddrisu Habib, the Sports Minister who bled profusely from a wound on the forehead was treated for what was believed to be “a cut from a sharp razor blade.” It is unclear how a sharp razor blade found its way into the parliamentary chamber, let alone to be employed during a fistfight involving educated adults who were expected to settle matters through dialogue and mutual respect. Videos circulating on social media after the brawl show the Sports Minister, Mustapha Ussif alongside other MPs on the Majority side exchanging hot punches with their counterparts on the Minority side. We suspect that it was the two dirty slaps which landed straight on Hon. Ussif’s face from the Sout...
