I Wonder If Mahama Will Go To Heaven. . . Updated: 13 -Nov -2014
As president of the Republic of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama , enjoys unfettered travel privileges and his latest visit to The Vatican to
interact with the Pope , clearly indicates that he would be accepted in places where the
ordinary would find it practically impossible to go . Despite these privileges our constitution
guarantees him, Ashanti Regional Chairman for the New Patriotic Party, Mr. Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, doubts if President Mahama would
be accepted in Heaven. In an interview with talkofgh.com the
NPP stalwart suggested that President Mahama should have openly confessed his sins to Pope
Francis when he got the chance to meet him before returning to Ghana. “ We can’t even fight cholera but I am sure he was telling the Pope we have strategically prepared to oust almighty Ebola in Ghana. I only pray he told the Pope what his
administration have been using the numerous loans for and how they have messed everything
by making life unbearable for Ghanaians ,” he stated .
Mr . Antwi-Boasiako further indicated that President Mahama ’s list of broken promises makes it easier for him to believe that even
before the man of God, he lied about everything they talked about . “ He is the only.president who is always being economically when it comes to telling the truth ,” he added. Mr . Bernard Antwi-Boasiako popularly known as Chairman ‘Wontumi’ also noted that failure on the part of the president to ask the Pope to
pray for his “ corrupt ministers” shows that he wants them to die in their sins and miss the opportunity to make it to Heaven . “ President Mahama knows he might not be
able to make it to heaven when the angels sound their trumpet . He wants his ministers to follow him to wherever he is going to be and this was why he refused to disclose what he and his ministers have been doing when he met
the Pope . He continues to lie about the state of Ghana when he meets foreign nationals” , he said.

A Leader Without Wisdom Brings Chaos – Mensa Otabil Updated: 10 -Nov -2014
General Overseer of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC ) , Pastor Mensa Otabil has underscored the need for people in leadership positions to seek wisdom . In his view, it is a calamity of life to be positional powerful but bereft of wisdom.
“ Wisdom brings about rulership , riches and righteousness . It is calamity to be in a place of
leadership and not have wisdom” he noted. Pastor Otabil made the comment while delivering a sermon Sunday on the theme
“ Wisdom Part 3 ” .Citing the father as the head of the family as an example , the renowned preacher said the children will be doomed if
the father lacks wisdom. “ When you are a father , head of a family and you have no wisdom, you cause chaos in the life of you children” .“ When you are a leader in any form of life , a teacher without wisdom is going to disturb the confidence of the pupil ”. Pastor Otabil also chastised parents who curse their children instead of motivating them to
choose the right path in life. “ There are parents who are in leadership but run their homes with foolishness and create mayhem in their children ” he stressed .
Three Times Sex Dosage A Week Is The Best - Doctor Updated: 10 -Nov -2014
Chief Executive Officer of Champion Divine Clinic (CDC) , Dr. Kwaku Frimpong says having sex 3 times in a week is the best way to go in fulfilling a healthy sex life stressing having sexual intercourse five times a week puts a strain on the body and weakens the potency of sperms.
According to Dr. Frimpong , the increasing number of childlessness and its attendant divorce cases bear testimony that Ghanaians
must take their reproductive life serious and adopt healthy life choices to safeguard the continuous production of off - springs. The CDC executive also disclosed that excessive alcohol intake, hepatitis B cases, spiritual
attacks and personal errors all can lead to bareness or impotency. He urged citizens especially males to consume more carrots to help boost the sperm count adding that although the work of pastors and
other spiritualist in breaking curses and warding off spiritual attacks is commendable there is need for medical attention to be sought to make the healing whole . Dr . Kwaku Frimpong noted for a male to be able to bear children he must have a sperm count of 45 million adding that infections have
been found to inhibit males who love to bear children . He called on such people to seek medical help
from centres with proven track records cautioning that whiles all doctors are potentially good it is the diagnosis and efficacy of drugs they prescribe which makes one stand out from the crowd .
Dr . Frimpong advised the youth as well as oldies to avoid taking alcoholic beverages disguised as aphrodisiacs to limit the harm
such concoctions will have on their hearts , liver and kidneys.

CJ, Speaker have been "constitutionally lawless" - Baako. Update: 08 - Nov - 2014
Political pundit Kweku Baako Jr has accused the Chief Justice and Speaker of Parliament of dabbling in “constitutional lawlessness.”
The New Crusading Guide Editor-in-Chief told Joy FM’s Newsfile programme Saturday that the arbitrary decision taken by the two
constitutional figures against swearing the Speaker in as acting president in the stead of the President and the Vice President – who are both out of the country – was not right. “They must offer an explanation and apology because they had no business” doing what they did, Baako told Samson Lardi Ayenini on the programme.
As far as he is concerned, the Speaker “usurped authority without any constitutional basis.”
Edward Doe Adjaho, within this week, acted in the President’s stead twice, without freshly
subscribing to the oath of the presidency. He argued that his September 19, 2013 subscription to the same oath administered by
Chief Justice Georgina Wood, when both the President and the Vice President were out of the country, still held sway, thus unnecessary
for him to be sworn in afresh. That
interpretation was reportedly reached after consultations between the Chief Justice and
Speaker. President Mahama travelled to Burkina Faso Wednesday while his vice Kwesi Amissah-Arthur was also in India on an official visit. He returned home shortly and then took off to
Nigeria Friday. Mahama is also billed to travel to the Vatican
Sunday. All these travels come on the heels of an earlier two-week sojourn to the UK and Denmark.
According Article 60 (11) of Ghana’s 1992 Constitution: “Where the President and the Vice-President are both unable to perform the
functions of the President, the Speaker of Parliament shall perform those functions until
the President or the Vice-President is able to perform those functions or a new President assumes office, as the case may be.” Also Article 60(12) of the Constitution states
that: “The Speaker shall, before commencing to perform the functions of the President under
clause (11) of this article, take and subscribe the oath set out in relation to the office of the
President.” Some Lawyers, including Kwame Akuffo, have
argued that the Speaker committed treason when he held himself as acting president
without taking the presidential oath of office, and must be impeached.
