The General Overseer of Leaders Light International Church, Apostle Dr. Samuel Kofi Dadzie has entreated President Nana Addo to sign the controversial anti-Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex (LGBTQI) bill into law if he thinks about the future of Ghana for everyone to know that the country does not tolerate such immoral practices.

According to Apostle Dr. Dadzie, though the country lacks financial muscle, finding an economic bailout should be done with things that will destroy the future of the country.

He indicated that in other developed countries like Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Syria, and even Morocco their leaders stood up on their feet and kicked against it, meanwhile, they were also poor and hungry but they did not look at the situation surrounding them and rather worked hard to turn things around because they knew if they accepting such practices could collapse their states thus Ghana must emulate them.

He told Kingdom FM’s KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH during its 2024 Easter Convention under the theme: “MY YEAR OF DELIVERANCE” which was held at the Nkawkaw Branch of the Church on Friday, March 29, 2024.

The General Overseer of the Leaders Light International Church stated that if President Addo Danquah Akufo Addo heeds his advice and stands firm to assent to the bill to become a law it will be the biggest legacy for him but if he leaves office for a new president to come and signed it all his good works will be washed away.

Besides whether the bill is being signed by President Nana Addo or not the majority of Ghanaians don’t support it, something he described as an abomination to God.

Apostle Dr. Samuel Dadzie noted that he doesn’t understand why the whites keep forcing Africans especially Ghana to practice such an act, stating that if it were good then “we should do it well and allow same-sex marriage for 10 years and let us see what will happen in Ghana.”

He added that the “white people always pushed us to practice things that would bring diseases to our country and go back to their country to do drugs for it and sell them to us and if we were not lucky they would tell us to exchange our natural resources for the medicine when they realize that it is getting out of hands and we don’t have money to purchase it.”

Apostle Dr. Kofi Dadzie was optimistic that should President Akufo Addo and his cabinet not assent to the bill to become a law to quash the LGBTQI away from the country God will pour his spirit on the future generation to come and overthrow it for his glory to be prevail.

The Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Right. Rev. Dr. Abraham Nana Opare Kwakye says the country would not sign the Anti-Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex (LGBTQI) bill into law because of the external support from its colonial masters.

Rt. Rev. Dr. Opare Kwakye emphatically stated that Ghana is a hunger state so the Western World will continue being dictating for her.

According to him, even if President Akufo-Addo signed the LGBTQ bill into law they would be compelled to unsigned it to prevent the Western countries from not aiding the country financially.

He asked “Why is it that the Western World cannot impose LGBTQI on Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Palestine, Syria, Qatar, Iran, and other countries that have criminalized it?

“The Western World has realized that Africans are hungry and poor and always begging them for arms, hence trying to force us[Ghana] to practice the LGBTQI,” he said.

Right, Rev. Dr. Abraham Kwakye made this assertion on Sunday, March 24, 2024, at the Aburi Presbyterian Church of Ghana when celebrating the Palm Sunday festive under the theme: “HOSANNA, LORD SAVE US NOW”.

He further stated that ‘we are hungry, but we have all the natural resources because of the bad leadership style we are suffering and today the whites are dictating for us how to run and manage the affairs of a Sovereign State like Ghana, he described the situation as very painful.’

Right. Rev. Dr. Nana Kwakye mentioned that during the COVID-19 period, no flight was allowed to fly to different countries, and it paved the way for both the poor and rich to receive medical care at the same hospitals in Ghana, indicating that is one advantage of the virus.

“If not, those in the leadership positions would have flown outside the country to treat themselves because they know the hospitals they have built for Ghanaians are not the standard ones,” he opined.

The Moderator was of the view that if the country had things right and put up standard hospitals in the country and managed our natural resources well, the Western World would not have imposed some practices on the country.

The Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North Constituency in the Eastern Region, Gifty Twum Ampofo has reiterated her commitment to providing infrastructure deficit for her constituents to strengthen the educational sector in the area.

The MP who lost her third parliamentary bid stated that she will be leaving Parliament in 2025 and would be happy to see all the children in Abuakwa North being highly educated and excelling in all aspects of life in the future.

According to the immediate Deputy Minister of Education responsible for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), education remains one of her topmost priorities, hence lobbying for more educational infrastructure for her constituents.

She added that after the needs of the teachers are met, the next thing is to ensure that the learners have good places to sit and study, indicating that before she leaves the office as a Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North all the communities in the area will get a classroom block to enhance teaching and learning.

Gifty Twum Ampofo mentioned these when breaking grounds for the construction of an ultramodern KG blocks for Bediasi and New Tafo Presbyterian M/A Basic school, and 3-unit classroom blocks for Sokode Juaso M/A Basic schools respectively.

She then used the opportunity and show gratitude to President Akufo-Addo for letting her serve under his government as Deputy Minister of Gender, Social, and Children Protection and Deputy Minister of Education in charge of TVET for the past five years.

“All the 3 projects are expected to be completed on December 31, 2024”, she told Kingdom FM’s KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH.

Bediasihene, Berima Ofori Minta II said that the absence of the JHS in the community has been their biggest challenge and that children have to walk to either Suhyen or Kukurantumi to pursue Junior High School.

He added that to address the situation leaders of the community have written to the MP of the area to get them the JHS block so that the children can attend JHS education without stressing themselves.

“We are happy that our MP didn’t turn her back on us when we called on her for aid and we pray that they complete it on time so that the children can go there and study”, he added.

The Member of Parliament for Ada Constituency in the Greater Accra Region, Comfort Doyoe Cudjoe-Ghansah has admonished students to choose Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, And Mathematics (STEAM) education over their love for English reading programs to make their lives better after school completion.

The MP who doubles as the Minority Chief Whip stated that the English language we have been speaking fluently over the past years as a country brought no significant achievements but rather continues making the fool out of the people.

According to her, those who boast of being the elite and educated and supposed to know better are the very people who drink sachet water in cars and indiscriminately dump the waste on the streets.

Comfort Cudjoe Ghansah made these known to Kingdom FM’s KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH during the inaugural of the maiden edition of Ada College of Education’s Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) Fair where all Basic Schools and Senior High Schools in the constituency joined hands and exhibited some crafted items of theirs.

She then described the English language as bogus and noted it does not contribute anything positive to the country, the reason the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin said they were going to speak the local dialect in the House to help them express themselves well for the transformation of the country.

The Lawmaker was very much delighted with the items displayed by the pupils together with both the SHS students and the teacher trainees of the Ada College of Education.

“I will encourage parents to allow their wards especially the young girls among them to pursue STEAM education in school to enable them to use their minds and hands to create job opportunities for themselves and become CEOs because that is far better than speaking good English and becoming unemployed at the long run,” she said.

Professor Prince Boateng, the Principal of Ada College of Education on his part explained that the program was not necessarily meant for tertiary students because Europeans and Asians train their young ones right from scratch on STEAM.

This, he buttresses and emphasises the program to guide learners to upgrade themselves at the tertiary levels being it a certificate or diploma course instead of the tertiary programmes, hence the inclusion of the pupils and SHS students.

“In doing so, we will get plumbers, fashion designers, carpenters, and masons among other professionals, and this will help the country achieve its industrialization agenda,” he stressed.

Professor Boateng added that his College is among the eight Colleges of Education in Ghana that offer Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and organizing such programs for the schools in the area will enable students especially the young ones to be oriented on the career path they seek to pursue in the near future.

According to the council, the CEO of the Simple Birdman Foundation over the past years has impacted many lives in Abuakwa South therefore it calls for recognition while he is alive.

Nana Dr. Kwadwo Opare who doubles as the Panohene added that he never thought that a day would come when he would be honored as a Doctor because most time it is the wealthiest and prominent persons like Presidents who receive Honorary Doctorate Degree awards.

He mentioned that it was about time everybody come on board and offered small support to those in our various communities who needed help, in doing so many lives would be transformed to enable the country to develop.

The International President of Rev. David Clergy Council, Bishop Dr. David Kakpo said the Simple Birdman Foundation has been a blessing to institutions, Basic schools, and brilliant but needy tertiary students in Abuakwa South.

Thus, in his view, he deserves to be honored while he is alive to motivate others to emulate and do the same to help their community members.

According to him they did not just wake up and honor him but investigated his foundation and the residents of the area testified that it had assisted many people in the Abuakwa South, hence the doctorate award.

For his part, the Akyem Segyimaasehene, Berima Okubi Botuo Danquah I who graced the program also told KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH that it is not easy to extend a helping hand to those going through problems in their lives, but there hasn’t been a single day where someone had asked for support from Nana Dr. Kwadwo Opare and has turned the person down.

He commended the CEO of the Simple Birdman Foundation for his good work for the people of Abuakwa South.

He stated that the Ada College of Education established in the 1960s needs refurbishment.
