THE NATIONAL CATHEDRAL IS DECILLION TIMES BETTER THAN THE LIVING ROOMS OF JUDGES.. CVM




NDC Should Shut Up,  The National Cathedral is Decillion times Better than the Living Rooms of Judges------CVM

According to the NDC, it is not right for President Akufo-Addo and NPP Government to relocate the nine judges to pave way for the construction of the National Cathedral to serve, praise, worship and pray to God.

We would like to state categorically with absolutely no apology to anyone that, the establishment of the National Cathedral is Decillion times better than the living rooms of Judges. The judges themselves are  inferior to the superior God, the absolute owner of every creature in the Universe.

NDC led by John Mahama are saying that, we should also consider building a National Shrine. Maybe they have short memories as indicated by John Mahama. It was Prof. Mills of blessed memory who cancelled the pouring of libations at the national events of our Country when he assumed office as the President.

If less than 3% traditional people also think they need a national shrine then they can consult among themselves and do it without any  impediment from Government. After all freedom of worship is enshrined in the 1992 Constitution.


It is very sad that, a well known drunkard and CPP Member, James Kwabena Bomfeh is challenging the legitimacy of the establishment of the National Cathedral in the Law Court with a stated reason that Ghana is a secular state.

Drunkard James Kwabena Bomfeh should kindly read the Second Schedule, Forms of Oath in the 1992 Constitution such as:
1. The Oath of Allegiance
2. The Presidential Oath
3. The Oath of the Vice-President
4. The Judicial Oath
5. The Oath of Member of Council of State
6. The Cabinet Oath
7. The Oath of Minister of State
8. The Oath of Secrecy
9. The Official Oath
10. The Speaker's Oath
11. The Oath of a Member of Parliament
12. The Oath of the Auditor-General

All these forms of Oath administered end with *(So help me God)*

Again our National Anthem begins with *God bless our homeland Ghana*

Therefore, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the decision of President Akufo-Addo led Government to assist the Christian Community with the establishment of a National Cathedral in honour of God we always committ ourselves before we assume national responsibility, and pray to bless our homeland Ghana.

In fact, those  making unsavoury commentaries about the establishment of the National Cathedral for God are spiritually fools and stupid.

The Battle is the Lord's.

11 NDC ROBBERS ARE TO ELECT THEIR LEADER AHEAD OF 2020.





PEREZ NANA ADU ADJEI WRITS: NPP COMMUNICATION MEMBER
11 NDC Armed Robbers’ are going to Congress to elect the Chief Armed Robber for the 2020 Presidential Election
The delegates of the NDC will have the opportunity to elect the Chief Armed Robber among the 11 armed robbers vying for the Presidential Candidate position of the Party ahead of 2020 general election.

Interestingly, the Founder of NDC does not support any of the ’11 armed robbers’ vying for the Presidential Candidacy of the Party.

Meanwhile, about 94 NDC MPs have already declared their support to the obviously ‘Chief Armed Robber’ as the 2020 Presidential Candidate of the NDC for 2020 general election. This obvious 2020 ‘Chief Armed Robber’ of NDC is Corrupt, incompetent and Killer of businesses.

The Nation wreckers, economic killers and armed robbers are seriously wasting time, resources and energy to convince the ignorant delegates of the NDC in order to get their vote at the Party’s 7th December 2018 National Delegates Congress.

We in the NPP are very focus on the delivery of our promises to Ghanaians, and unprecedented victory is surely waiting for President Akufo-Addo and our MPs/PCs in 2020.

Total destruction is waiting for the ‘Chief Armed Robber’ of the NDC in 2020.

DESIST FROM MAKING UNNECESSARY COMMENT , CVM DARES IMAM'S P.R.O.





Sheikh Aremeyaw Shouldn't dare Meddle in the Affairs of Christianity-----CVM
     
        The founder and the leader of Concern Voters Movement (CVM), Mr. Razak Kojo Opoku, has blast the Spokesperson for the National Chief Imam,  Sheikh Aremeyaw shauibu,  to desist from commenting on Christianity issues.

   Mr.Razak,  In order to continue to enjoy and sustain the lasting fruitful cooperation, peace, stability and Unity between Christians and Muslims in Ghana, it will be very prudent and ethically wise for the spokesperson of the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Aremeyaw Shuaib to desist from making unnecessary commentary on the establishment of the National Cathedral by the Christian Group of Churches in Ghana.

It is quite suicidal for Sheikh Aremeyaw to suggest that the proposed National Cathedral should have been an *Inter-faith edifice*. This statement is an insult to the Christian Community in Ghana.

According to the population statistics of Ghana, the Christian population is around 74.1% followed by Islam which is around 17.5%.

Inspite of this significant population difference between Christians and Muslims, no member of the Christian Community has ever suggested that the establishment of the  National Mosque was unnecessary and should have been considered as Inter-faith edifice.

If a minority Muslim deserves a National Mosque how much more the Majority Christian Community?

The National Mosque of Muslims was built under the auspices of the Turkish Government supported by Ghana Government. In fact, Jerry John Rawlings led Government and John Mahama led Government significantly contributed to the establishment of the National Mosque. The land for the National Mosque at Kawukudi was freely given to the National Chief Imam by the Rawlings Government.

So what is wrong if President Akufo-Addo led Government aides the Christian Community to equally have access to free land for the establishment of the National Cathedral?

Ghana Government has been using taxpayers money to finance Muslims on their pilgrimage to Mecca(Hajj) but the Christian Community has been going on pilgrimage to the Holy land of Israel without the support of Ghana Government. However, the Christian Community of Ghana has never complained about Government support to Muslims on their pilgrimage to Mecca.

Sheikh Aremeyaw should better mind his own business.  He should retract his statement and apologise accordingly to the Christian Community of Ghana for stating that the  National Cathedral of Christians should have been considered as an Interfaith edifice.




The statement of Sheikh Aremeyaw Shuaib is reckless, highly irresponsible, divisive and has the tendency to anger the Christian Community of Ghana.

VIRGINS CONTEST FOR MISS GHANA 2018.

Some ladies at the Miss Ghana 2018 audition

The audition for the 2018 edition of the Miss Ghana pageant was held on Saturday at the Tang Palace Hotel in Accra.

Judges included ace presenter and veteran actress, Akumaa Mama Zimbi, CEO of Exclusive Events Inna Patty, businessman and showbiz enthusiast Prince Attipoe and CEO of Allure Centric, Bimbo Oduro, took the ladies through a screening process, asking them various questions and engaging them to also display their talents.

Inna Patty, Prince Attipoe and Akumaa Zimbi

Some danced and also sang to the admiration of the judges. Others also showed great confidence with humility.

All the ladies who auditioned are within the required age limit of 18 to 27 years.

Ahead of the audition, organisers announced that a ‘wannabe’ queen must be ready to exhibit philanthropic ethics and must be ready to be morally grounded in the Ghanaian culture.

JEALOUSY IS KILLING MOST OF GHANAIAN PASTORS...BISHOP LAMENTS





JEALOUSNESS IS KILLING MOST OF GHANAIAN PASTORS...SENIOR PASTOR LAMENTS.

       The founder and the leader of African Christian Church (Accra), Bishop Nana Danso has stressed emphatically that, most of Ghanaian pastors are jealous about their fellow pastors which is causing untimely death upon pastors.

       According him, every pastor who have been truly called by God was given a special purpose/role, God has a particular purpose of which he (God) everyone.
He said, God called some people just to establish churches, some were called to preach the Gospel, some for prophetic purposes, some only for counsellings etc, but a lot of so called men of God turn to envy and become jealous because, they are unable to do what others are doing.

     Sharing his experience with the media, Bishop Danso said, he have been a the ministry about 37years now, and what he have observed is that, a lot of current pastors are the most jealous religious group in Ghana.

       He finally called on the general public, the media and the upcoming pastors to lean and Educate themselves so that, they will be able to identify /know the purpose of which they are being called, else................

He disclosed all this to the media during the 15th anniversary celebrations of Worldway Liberty church (WLC), at Kasoa Nyanyano Kakraba.

PRESIDENCY IS NOT A RETIREMENT PACKAGE FOR MAHAMA. NPP COMMUNICATOR



PRESIDENCY IS NOT A RETIREMENT PACKAGE FOR
MAHAMA.  NPP COMMUNICATOR.

      A member of The News Patriotic party, Perez Nana Adu Adjei has said it emphatically that the Presidency is not a retirement package for Mahama. Whatever he has, is what he gave. He has nothing new to offer. He is the same clueless, corrupt, indecisive, incompetent and lying Mahama, surrounded by the same old corrupt and incompetent folks.

  According to him it is the same old repulsive stuff He even started on  a bad note. First he and his family lied that he wasn't going to contest again. Then that deceptive so called campaign he named unity walks. What was he uniting, the party or himself? Sometimes I wonder why the ndc keep deceiving themselves.
What happened in 2016 was a resounding and overwhelming verdict. It was more than elections It was a total rejection of Mahama, his appointees and his administration.
    During an exclusive interview with the media, Nana Adjei said,  Mahama  should stop deceiving himself to think Ghanaians are fools to vote him back to office. Those forcing him back are only interested in securing their positions in the NDC. Mahama is going to lose miserably again. It is politically unwise for some NDC members, to out of desperation, force him back instead of introducing a new candidate who will definitely lose the next election but would have marketed himself well to make a significant impact in subsequent elections. As it stands now, Mahama is going to lose, and the NDC will have to find a fresh candidate who will need to contest twice to market himself properly Such common sense simply doesn't exist in the NDC.

SOCIALIST ADVISES YOUTH ON INITIATING AND CREATING OF COLLECTIVE ENTERPRISES.



On Youth Job Creation
The National deputy Youth Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) hopefully and also a socialist Mr. Lawrence Lamptey  has the general public especially the Youth to focus on initiating and creating collective enterprises under their collective control as a guarantee against perpetual poverty through the future.
     Furthermore he expressed that, there is everything disturbing when you need a job but cannot see that combining with others to set up an independent workers downed enterprise, which all of you own and control while earning more, gives you a sense of independence and self  fulfillment as you would never be a mere slaving employee of a capitalist till you die.
    Speaking to the media, he said to the Youth and I quote ''Let the Youth focus on initiating and creating collective enterprises under their collective control as a guarantee against perpetual poverty through the future''.

The emerging ethic and morality make it really shameful to need a job and expect somebody else to give it to you.

Such is an exact epitome of a lazy person bereft of ambition and the fighting spirit - unconsciously or consciously seeking an opportunity to steal and reproduce the spirit of every endemic and System-enhanced corruption.

No, such are not Economic Fighters in essence. They are a fishing ground for the reproduction of potential thieves-on-paper occasioned by the Capitalist Neo-Colonial System - Africa's historical singular problematic.

Economic Fighters, like all serious Fighters, are daring against inevitable challenges born out of self-initiatives while they Remain Focused, Determined And Bold!

Let's breed a new Orientation Of Development to ultimately burst the Capitalist Neo-Colonial System asunder for a National Life Without Corruption And Nepotism!

Forward Ever!
Onward to the African Socialist Revolution!

JOURNALISM IS NOT A CRIME.. EDUCATE GHANA SUMMIT. 1st In News.




      JOURNALISM IS NOT A CRIME

                   BY EDUCATE GHANA SUMMIT.

Journalism is defined by the Longman Dictionary 2015 Edition as a job of writing reports for newspapers, Magazines, Television or Radio.
According to a study I made, journalism entails investigation into things.

This theme was chosen due to some image tagged on Journalism in relation to what is transpiring in this country of late.

 Let's flashback on the following incidents;

*A.* According to Mr. Latif Iddris of Joy News, a policeman grabbed him from behind and slapped him severely on the night of Tuesday March 28, 2018 at the Criminal Investigations Department of the Ghana Police Service for "asking a stupid question".

*B.* Adom FM journalist Ohemaa Sakyiwaa Ahwenepa was assaulted by a popular NPP supporter, Hajia Fati at the party headquarters on Friday 15th May, 2018.

*C.* Assaults and damages were inflicted on two of GHOne TV journalists, Reynold Dadzie and one other person on the 19th and 20th July, 2018. They were subjected to severe beatings by irate Asawase Zongo youth. It was revealed that the former was nearly burnt alive but was saved by a timely intervention of one of the demonstrators.

*D.* On Thursday 16th of August, 2018, Mr. Nii Agyei was hurt with a stone hurled by some NDC supporters at Adjumako in the Central Region when he was covering an inauguration ceremony of a polyclinic, and this was disgusting.

As a serious Nation, let's not misinterpret  Democracy.
_source www.ghanaweb.com._

These unlawful acts against journalists must be addressed with dent measures taken against the culprits.
The concept of separation of powers must be emphasized so as to ensure Press Freedom when performing duties.

Journalists are also key contributors to the country's development and not only export of crude oil and agriculture. They must be given some security in their operations to ensure their safety.

It must be noted that, one of the  responsibilities of a journalist is to delve into relevant issues of National Concerns and must be tolerated by our political Leaders and the citizenry as well. Because journalists are the Public Relation Officers of the government.

Educate Ghana Summit therefore, is urging the leadership of Parliament to help Pass the Right to Information Bill with immediate effect. This would obviously mandate journalists to have access to accurate Information comfortably.

Some journalists have laid a strong foundation sailing through difficult times and we will like to mention some few Names here.

1. Late Komla Dumoh (may his soul rest in peace)
2. Late Ms. Irene Nana Aba Kpayaaafo Asante(was with GBC, RIP)
3. Late Kwadjo Asare Baffour Acheampong KABA (may his soul rest in peace)
4. Anas Aremeyaw Anas
5.Kwame Sefa Kai (Peace Fm),
6.Seth Kwame Boateng (Joy News)
7.Abeiku Santaana(Ok FM)
8. Captain Smart(Adom FM)
9. Akumaa Mamazimbi(Adom FM)
10. Deloris Frimpoma a.k.a Delay(Ghone)
11. Nana Amoako Gyampa(Good Life FM)
12. Nana Ansah(Cine Plus formerly at Eastern FM) and others.

To our dear Journalists, it must be noted that no one is too weak or strong for a job, every hard working journalist in the country must be honoured by Ghana Journalists Association(G.J.A) during awards but it should not be on *PROTOCOL, FAVORITISM or NEPOTISM* basis. This may lead to Division & Greed among journalists in the country. We are calling for solidarity in journalism now!

Lastly, Journalism must embrace the truth, and air concerns of the citizens but not to concentrate on the Prominent ones only. This leads to making people feel *Unrespected, Deserted and Irritated.*

Aside all, Educate Ghana Summit says kudos to all journalists in Ghana, but still expecting an exceptional hardworking and persistency in discharge of your duties as expected.

Long live Ghana Journalists Association,
Long live Educate Ghana Summit.
Long live Ghana.

WE'LL NOT ALLOW NPPs IN ASHANTI REGION TO CONTROL THE AIRWAVES ANY LONGER.. FMR. DCE. 1st In News.




The former District Chief Executive (DCE) of Sekyere Afram Plains and also aspiring Ashanti Regional communications officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Hon. Donkor Fuseini has vowed to build a formidable communication wing in the region, capable of winning the National Democratic Congress (NDC) back to power come 2020 elections.According to him, the lack of effective communication between the erstwhile government and the party gave room for “Ghanaians to believe the palpable lies told them by the New Patriotic Party (NPP)”, leading to their defeat. Speaking to the media after picking forms to contest the Ashanti Regional Communications Officer slot in the upcoming regional delegates conference, Hon. Fuseini expressed his determination to “correct the anomaly” to build a unified party. Outlining his plans for the region, the former DCE promised to build the capacity of constituency executives particularly women to be abreast with current happenings in the country to effectively contribute to media discussions. To him, networking with all communication officers under one umbrella in the region was key to build a resilient party such that “they will be the first to hear any news and understand every party communication strategy to link up with all constituency executives before radio discussions are done on issues” Hon. Fuseini who is also Chief Executive Officer of CDAI, a nongovernmental organisation focused on promoting cultural development in the country disclosed intentions to train bold and committed party members to properly explain issues of national concern to the understanding of their local communities to ensure active participation in the national discourses. “We will also organise monthly press conferences at the constituency level to expose rots in various government structures. “If voted into office, the NPP in Ashanti Region will no longer control the airwaves as we see now and we shall win the Zongos back with effective communication,” he maintained. Hon. Fuseini called for unity among the rank and file of the party saying, “We need to build a united party at this time rather than personality worship where individuals are projected and hailed over the party.”

SMOKE AND DRINK MORE ALCOHOL AND PAVES WAY FOR YOUR DEATH.. HEALTH MINISTER. 1st In News.




The minister of health Mr Kweku
Agyeman Manu has called on Ghanaians to stop smoking,drinking, and not to live careless life since most of the diseases are self inflicted.
The minister made these remarks when he inaugurated two newly completed Polyclinics at ETSI Sunkwa and Besease in the Ajumako Enyan Essiam District of the Central Region.
Mr Manu indicated that president Akufo Addo's resolve to complete all uncompleted health facilities of the previous government is to get health care closer to the do step of the citizenry.
This statement was echoed in all the 5 communities polyclinics were inaugurated today.
He expresses worry at Tramadol abuse by the youth hence, called on opinion leaders to help fight the cancer.
Earlier before the inauguration, a group f youths believed to be NDC sympathizers pelted stones amidst charting at the minister expressing their displeasure why he was opening a project constructed by former president Manama.
The Director General of Ghana Health Service Dr Nsiah indicated that the vision of the service is to make health care accessible to all and not to allow patients travel more than 10kilomiters to seek health care neither are they expecting people to use their properties as collaterals to seek health care hence encouraged them to register for NHIA cards whilst those whose has expired should renew it.
Whilst assuring GHS commitment of posting resident doctors to the facilities to offer proper care to patients, he appealed to chiefs and political heads to ensure that staffs Manning these facilities are not attracted and insulted as it happens in other places.
With the exception of the ETSI Sunkwa polyclinic in the Ajumako district which is a 30 bed facility, the rest are 15 bed with X' Ray, laboratory,operating theatre and a maternity ward.
The rest of the polyclinics are located at Nakwa in the Ekumfi district, Besease in the Ajumako Enyan Essiam District, Jambra in the Esikuma Odoben Brakwa district.
At Etsi Sunkwa in the Ajumako Enyan Essiam District,the  District Chief Executive for Ajumako Rev. Ransford Kwesi Nyarko indicated that all DCE's were warned by the president not to start any new project unless old ones have been completed, adding that such old projects currently are about 80 to 90% complete.
He appealed to GHS to ensure that people in these communities where the polyclinics are sitted are given priority during recruitment but not to fill employment vacancies with foreigners.
Additionally, he called on the health minister to finalise all arrangement on the new nursing training school so that it can be opened for admissions.

TEACHERS ARE SICK AND TIRED OF MANY INSULTS FROM POLITICIANS..EDUCATIONALIST.. 1st In News.




An educationist with teaching experiences from Basic School to Senior High School, Mr. Daniel Fenyin has descend on some of political leaders whose normally throws insults and show no respect to teachers.



Ace Anan Ankomah posts on his facebook wall...
_“Elsewhere, teachers are allowed 1 hour of prep for every 7 hours of teaching. In Ghana, it is 4 hours of prep for 4 hours of teaching. In other words averagely, our teachers spend only 50% of possible contact hours doing actual teaching.” - Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, Dep. Minister of Education._

When such gibber comes from an Education minister with a PhD in Educational Policy from the University of Southern California, you can trust that the Freelance Analyst, Mr. Daniel Fenyi, will come your way to explain what actually pertains on the grounds.

First, there are two classes of teachers in Ghana: Basic School teachers (Primary + JHS) and SHS tutors.

 *Basic School teachers (BS):*
BS has class 1 to class 6 and one teacher handles each class. Class begins at 8am and ends at 2:30pm. From 8am to 10am is teaching (2hrs). 10:00am to 10:30am is 1st break. Teaching continues from 10:30am to 12:15pm (1hr 45mins). 2nd Break is 12.15-12.30pm. From 12:30-2.30pm is 2hrs of teaching. So in total, a BS teacher uses 5hrs 45 mins a day. So for the minister to say teachers in Ghana teach for 4hrs can't be accurate, at least at the Basic level.

 *JHS and SHS tutors:*
Subject teaching is done at these levels. Averagely, a teacher has 30periods a week. Each period is 40minutes. This means, 1200minutes a week for teaching. This translates into 20hrs a week making 4hours a day. Interesting! I guess this is why the education minister, Dr. Yaw Adutwum, shallowly concluded that teachers teach for 4hrs and sleep for 4hrs.
Given that a teacher has 80 students in class. He's mandatorily expected to give class exercise and project work (Assignment/homework) immediately after teaching each single day. Granted that he is fast enough to use 2hrs to mark 80 exercises each day, is that not 4hrs+2hrs making 6hrs a day?
The teacher is again mandatorily expected to write lesson notes and teaching notes (notes to be given to children) each single day. Assuming he is again fast enough to use 2hours for this exercise, is that not 6hrs+2hrs making 8hrs?

 *My Conclusion:*
1. The teacher spends, everything put together, about 8hrs a day.
2. The minister said "Elsewhere". Does his "elsewhere" include USA, Canada, Germany, Denmark, China, etc? Well, the salary of the "elsewhere" teacher is about 5times a Ghanaian teacher's.
3. Teachers are sick and tired of the many insults showered on them everyday. The profession is a respected calling though not well paying. Let's have our piece of mind!
3. I am Daniel Fenyi, an educationist with teaching experiences from Basic School to Senior High School. Reach me on *+233242937017. Ready for counter opinions and educative critiques.

 Citizen Not Spectator!

A Must Read for All Teachers and Politicians.
