  Agyapa Deal is for the Collective Good of the Country: Razak Kojo Opoku    The founder of Concerned Voters’ Movement (CVM),  and a member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP)  Mr.  Razak Kojo Opoku has said that,   Charles Owusu and others particularly members of the NDC seems ignorant and unlettered about the Agyapa deal. The Agyapa deal is one of the best vehicles for leveraging on the country's mineral resources for socioeconomic development.

Akufo-Addo's Government believes in Transparency and Accountability that is why the Agyapa Deal will be going back to Parliament for inputs, fine-tuning and public scrutiny for the collective good of the Country.

For better understanding of the Agyapa Dea

  Celebrate with the Muslims to show them the True God of Abraham - Christians Advised A Christian Apologist and the Leader of Islamic Pentecostal Movement, Apostle Kofi Manu, has advised the Christians to help Muslims know and discover the True God Almighty that Abraham worshipped as we celebrate with them in love and in peace. According to Kofi Manu, many Muslims don't know that the  Allah described in the Qur'an is completely different from the Allah described in the Arabic Bible. We must all appreciate that Allah is an Arabic language and simply mean God in English.  Surprisingly, many Muslim scholars claim that Allah is the name of Arabic God and therefore, Allah is not translated as God but God is ilah in the Arabic language. It is our deepest wish for our dear Muslims to come to the knowledge of the True God and His only Son, Jesus Christ who is the only way, the Truth and Life of everyone. We wish our Muslims Happy Eid Al - Fitr and pray for them to know the True Light

  THE OVERWHELMING RISE OF MENTAL DISORDERS IN GHANA  Mental disorders are a wide range of conditions that affect the mood, thinking and behavior of individuals. The rate at which mental disorders are increasing in the country is quite alarming. Although there is lack of reliable data regarding the prevalence of mental disorders, the World Health Organization (WHO, 2007) has estimated that approximately thirteen percent (13%0 of Ghanaians suffer from a mental disorder.
