    Piesie Esther Embarks on Pilgrimage to Israel; Visits Jesus’ Tomb and River Jordan (Video)

    Gospel musician Piesie Esther has traveled to Israel, visiting several significant biblical sites.

    Her journey began in Canaan, where Jesus performed his first miracle of turning water into wine.

    One of the highlights was visiting the tomb where Jesus was interred. After seeing the empty tomb, Piesie Esther expressed her joy and spiritual fulfillment, reaffirming her belief in Christ’s resurrection.

    She continued her pilgrimage to the River Jordan, the site where Jesus was baptized and received the Holy Spirit. Piesie immersed herself in the river, reflecting on this biblical event.

    In Jerusalem, she visited the Wailing Wall, praying for her fans as she walked through the sacred streets. “With this confidence, I declare every request, supplication, petition, and heart prayer you have made be answered in Jesus’ name! Cry no more, your prayer is heard,” she said.

    Piesie Esther also visited the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus prayed the night before his betrayal, describing it as an incredible and profoundly touching experience. “Experiencing the Garden of Gethsemane is a profound encounter with faith, reflecting on Jesus’ agony and resolve on the eve of His crucifixion. It is a place of deep prayer, reflection, and connection to the heart of His sacrifice,” she stated.

    Additionally, she went to the Sea of Galilee, where Jesus first saw Peter following his resurrection and ate fish with him. She documented her entire experience for her fans, for whom she prayed.

    Upon returning from her pilgrimage, Piesie Esther declared that the “incredible and inspiring journey” had strengthened her bond with Jesus Christ and deepened her faith.

    Miss Ababio was sworn in as a new lawyer today, May 31, 2024, along with 181 other people at the ongoing ceremony.

    Having successfully navigated the controversies surrounding her call to the bar in 2022 and 2023, this is a major turning point in Ama’s career.

    Ama’s call to the BAR was first made public last week when the General Legal Council listed her as one of the new Ghana Law School students to be called to the BAR in an official notice.

    “The list of persons qualified to be called to the bar per a notice issued under the hand of the Director of the Ghana School of Law is not exhaustive and may change upon the General Legal Council’s attention being drawn to certain irregularities,” the official notice said.

    Ama Governor’s path to the bar has been characterised by intense controversy and public attention. Her candour and willingness to share her sexual orientation have made her a divisive figure in Ghanaian society. Her perseverance and resolve have ultimately brought her to this important career achievement, despite the obstacles.

    Social media is buzzing with excitement over her enrollment, with some applauding her tenacity and others continuing to voice their opposition. Nevertheless, Ama Governor’s inclusion on the list of eligible candidates demonstrates her dedication to the legal field.

    On May 31, 2024, the call to the bar ceremony is set to take place. For the 182 people who have dedicated their lives to earning this honour, it will be a momentous occasion. At the Ghana School of Law, the occasion will symbolise the completion of years of demanding coursework and training.

    Ama Governor’s journey serves as an inspiration to many who encounter discrimination and obstacles as she gets ready to enter the legal fraternity. Her narrative emphasises the value of resiliency and pursuing one’s objectives in spite of social obstacles.

  • Electrochem, Africa’s largest salt refinery, commences operations in August 2024

    Electrochem, Africa’s largest salt refinery, commences operations in August 2024

    Electrochem Ghana Limited is set to start processing refined salt in commercial quantities by August of this year, according to a statement made by Dr. Daniel McKorley, the Executive Board Chairman of McDan Group.

    During a visit to the Ada project site in the Greater Accra region, Dr. McKorley disclosed this information to members of the Association of Ghana Industries (AGI).

    Dr. McKorley emphasised in his welcome address the company’s dedication to involving off-takers both locally and globally.

    He announced that the McDan Group subsidiary Electrochem, the largest salt refinery in Africa, would manufacture natural salt for export.

    “We are building one of the biggest refineries in Africa. By August, it should be up and running. This is a product (salt) with high demand. Once we complete the ports and the refinery, we’ll produce for the industry”.

    According to him, the refinery’s success will be ensured by the need for salt in manufacturing and industry.   

    “Salt has 14,000 uses, and we plan to produce for both export and local consumption. What we have here is unparalleled—99.9% sodium chloride, intended for serious industrial use. It’s environmentally friendly, and we are not retailing but selling to wholesalers because this is a big factory,” Dr. McKorley said.

    Tsonam Akpeloo, the AGI’s Regional Chairman for Greater Accra, stressed the value of encouraging and supporting major Ghanaian-owned companies like Electrochem Ghana Limited.

    “This is clearly a huge innovation not just in Ghana but across Africa. The only way we can take advantage of the Africa Continental Free Trade Area is by supporting large industries like Electrochem Ghana.”

    Electrochem Ghana has the capacity to produce an impressive 1 million metric tonnes of salt annually for both domestic and international markets, thanks to its 41,000-acre concession at Ada Songor.

  • I’ve stopped going to church because people criticize my dressing – Ahuofe Patri

    I’ve stopped going to church because people criticize my dressing – Ahuofe Patri

    Actress Priscilla Opoku Agyeman, better known by her stage name Ahuofe Patri, is from Ghana, and she has long since revealed why she does not attend church.

    She claimed that Christians “are a little bit judgmental” and that they sometimes lose sight of the reason for going to church.

    In an interview with Joy Prime, she recalled receiving criticism twice for how she dressed for church, saying that she should have at least received a cordial greeting before any remarks regarding her attire.

    “It is a bit much for me when people know you and you attend church because you know how people are.” I have had two experiences when people have made comments about what I was wearing.

    “I felt they could have gone about it differently. I also felt we lost sight of the reason why I’m here to worship God. Maybe welcome me first,” she said.”

    I want to marry a man who will worship me – Ahoufe Patri opens up

    Ahuofe Patri, also known as actress Priscilla Opoku Agyeman, has listed the characteristics she looks for in a potential spouse.

    Recently, Ahuofe Patri emphasised in an interview with Roselyn Felli on Joy Prime’s Prime Morning show how much she values a man who treats her with exceptional care and prioritises her.

    She clarified that as her mother’s only child, she is used to being spoiled and would find it difficult to put up with any kind of abuse.

    “I want someone who will worship me like I’m the best thing ever to happen to him. I’m my mom’s only child, and I’m really overpampered, so he has to worship me,” she stated.

    When asked if financial stability is important, she humorously replied, “If you attend a church, don’t you sing songs of praise for offering sessions? So you can do all of that if you’re not in good financial standing.”

    This suggests that although she values devotion, her financial security is also taken into account.

    She also mentioned that she would rather have a giving partner. Ahuofe Patri is content with her single status and is not in a rush to get married, despite social pressures regarding her status.

    If she finds the right person and marriage fits into God’s plan, she said she would be happy to get married.

    From time to time, Ahuofe Patri has disclosed that a man must be wealthy, devout, and completely enamoured with her in order to want to live a lifetime with her.

    Ghanaian actress and women’s advocate Priscilla Opoku Agyeman is also referred to as “Ahuofe Patri.”After placing among the top 10 in the Miss Maliaka beauty pageant, she started her professional career. Later on, she rose to fame in comedy skits like Boys Kasa with Kalybos.

    Lil Win’s accident: Three-year-old victim has been buried

    Grief and sadness have consumed the family of the late three-year-old boy who died in an accident involving actor Lil Win. They are mourning their son.

    Following his death on Saturday, May 25, while undergoing treatment at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, three-year-old Emmanuel Richard Ampomah was laid to rest on Tuesday, May 28.

    His father was at the burial grounds on Tuesday, having been discharged from the hospital after suffering a fractured leg in the same accident.

    Family of the late 3year old boy

    On Saturday, May 25, at Amakom in Kumasi, it is said that Nana Yaw was in the front passenger seat of his father’s car when it struck LilWin’s Mercedes-Benz.

    Due to the accident, both cars suffered significant damage, and reports indicate that both drivers were speeding.

    On camera, LilWin—who was hurt in the collision as well—was seen being transferred to a different car so she could get medical attention at the hospital.

    The accident severely damaged his Benz, which was registered under his name.

    Even after the incident, LilWin managed to attend the Saturday night premiere of his film, “A Country Called Ghana.”

    Online videos display the actor with bandages covering his forehead and an adhesive plaster applied to his injured right hand.

    LilWin told the audience that he could not overlook the efforts of the people who attended the event, including the local chiefs and other well-known figures.

    Lil Win in trouble after car crash claims life of the 3-year-old child

    Nana Yaw, three years old, perished in a horrifying car accident involving popular Ghanaian actor Kwadwo Nkansah, better known by his stage name Lil Win.

    The collision between Lil Win’s automobile and the one transporting Nana Yaw and his father, Jacob Kofi Ampomah, happened on Saturday in Amakom.

    Eyewitnesses claim that Lil Win was driving rapidly at the time of the collision.

    Nana Yaw and his father were sent to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital after an immediate trip to a nearby medical facility.

    Sadly, Nana Yaw died from his injuries.

    Jacob Kofi Ampomah is currently receiving treatment in the hospital’s emergency room for a fractured leg.

    A thorough investigation and justice are what the bereaved family is demanding, as they are concerned about the delay in getting the victims at the scene medical attention given that the actor seemed to be the centre of attention.

    Yaw Gyamfi, the deceased person’s relative, told Citi News that both police and witnesses confirmed Lil Win was driving too fast and had swerved out of his lane.

    He stressed how important it is to enforce the law in this particular case.

    Despite being hurt, Lil Win attended the opening night of his movie “A Country Called Ghana” in Kumasi on Saturday night.

    While present at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, his managers declined to comment when contacted by Citi News about the incident.

    The family is preparing for Nana Yaw’s funeral, but they also intend to file a lawsuit to hold the people accountable for the horrible demise in court.
